About Russian 7

In this course, we will delve into new sections not covered in previous courses. Indeed, the long-awaited verbs of movement will be covered. This will give you even more opportunities to express yourself in Russian.

This course is thus a continuation of the basic courses (Russian 1 to 6) and fits into the existing learning programme. Lessons will increasingly focus on speaking skills. In this way, you become freer in your communication. Reading skills also play a greater role than before. The teacher uses material from the method and from current texts. In this way, you become even better acquainted with cultural and political life in Russia.

This course follows on Russian level 6, but can also be taken separately if you have A2+ level. Not sure what your language level is? Then take our free placement test.
