You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Russian teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the lesson at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant lesson materials.
These Russian lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Russian by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Russian to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Russian culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Russian exam.
Those who would benefit the most from these Russian tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Russian to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Russian, as well as survival Russian should a visit to the country be necessary.
Those wishing to learn Russian in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Russian Lessons or Small Group In-Company Russian Lessons) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Russian proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Russian Lessons can occur with up to 12 people.
The national language of Russia, Russian is also an official language in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyszstan and Belarus
Ukrainian and Belarusian are the languages the most akin to Russian
Russian uses a very complex method to make compound words, making it almost impossible to work out the total amount of words in the language
Russian Testimonials
"For my first lesson, I received the same top quality Russian language lesson that Listen and Learn promise to maintain. Having been an instructor at one time, I am in the habit of testing fellow instructors regarding their knowledge and their ability to teach. Well I am happy to inform you that my first lesson exceeded my expectations in all aspects! Not only did Maria impose the degree of professionalism that was warranted, she is very knowledgeable and she has that knack for sensing the approach a particular student should have in order for that student to learn, and more importantly, for that student to want to learn. Maria achieved the element of trust that must first be established between an instructor and their student in order for a student's mind to open itself to the learning process. Now, I only hope that I can achieve my own objectives!"
Toledo
If you find yourself in Toledo's Hungarian neighborhood, be sure to stop by Tony Packo's cafe to see some of the most famous buns in the Midwest. Celebrities and politicians alike flock to Toledo for a now-legendary "bun signing", but the incentive for arriving in Toledo spans a far vaster period. Immigrants from all over the world also been drawn to Toledo - but perhaps not for Tony's "Hungarian hotdog"! An Ohioan city of many historical draw cards, Toledo is now home to a diverse and international community. This makes it simple and straightforward for anyone wishing to start to study another language. With strong ancestral ties to the Spanish, German, Polish and French languages - just to name a handful - Toledo is a choice location to immerse oneself in global languages.
