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.

Great immersive experience
November 13, 2019by: John-Paul Gravelines - CanadaAs a regular student at "Learn Russia in the EU" in Daugavpils, I can endorse its quality of instruction, dedication of faculty, and professionalism of all the staff who make it function so well. I am still a lower-level Russian language learner, and their faculty is adept at working with beginners like me, as well as more advanced students. We learn through a combination of textbook-based work, and dialogue--often using topics of relevance to my life, which helps me relate and memorize words and grammar. Highly recommend.
