Russian Language Schools in Eastern Europe & Russia

Learn Russian in the EU provides intensive one-on-one courses in Russian as a Foreign Language. These courses help students improve their general skills in reading, listening, speaking, and grammar at target Russian proficiency levels, up to ACTFL Advanced Mid/ CEFR B2. Students can focus on developing practical communication skills, refining their grammar, and preparing for upcoming university exams or specific tests, such as the DLPT, OPI, or TRKI (TORFL). Each student can maximize training outcomes by customizing major course parameters, including the proficiency level, start and end dates, number of lessons, areas in grammar or communication topics to be covered, and others. Living with a Russian-speaking host family and full language and cultural immersion in Daugavpils, the most Russian city in the European Union, will help students make rapid progress. For students at lower proficiency levels, we recommend taking up to four individual lessons daily. We can also ensure that teachers are fluent in English. For students at higher levels, we recommend taking up to six individual lessons per day.
