Russian for teenagers and adults

Russian for teenagers and adults

Knowing Russian opens many doors, in both the personal and professional fields, which is why we recommend enrolling in our Russian for teenagers and adults course. Russian is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. It is used by more than 250 million people, not just in Russia but in former Soviet republics such as Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and others.

Knowledge of Russian is extremely valuable in the business world. Russia is one of the largest global markets, particularly in energy, technology and commerce. Companies that wish to operate in this market or expand their business in the region value employees who speak Russian. The cultural influence of Russian is enormous. Reading works of classic literature in the original language, such as the novels of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky or the short stories and plays of Chekhov, enables a deeper understanding of content and style than any translation can offer. Russian art, from ballet to opera, and the rich world of Russian cinema are additional reasons to learn the language, since they offer direct contact with the supreme achievements of Russian culture.

Knowledge of Russian is also extremely valuable for travellers. Travelling in Russia or other countries where Russian is widely spoken is much simpler if you speak the language. Communication with locals enables authentic experiences and an insight into the local way of life. Russian is also essential for understanding the history and heritage of a region that plays an important role in world history. In the academic sphere, Russian opens up numerous possibilities. Russian universities are famous for their high-quality courses, while many archives and research resources are only accessible in Russian. Learning Russian is thus not only a step towards better academic preparedness, it also leads to greater openness to global research opportunities.

Mastering a language that uses a different alphabet, in this case Cyrillic, enhances cognitive abilities and encourages reflection

Alongside its many practical advantages, learning Russian also brings numerous personal benefits. Mastering a new language, especially one that uses a different alphabet, in this case Cyrillic, enhances cognitive abilities and encourages reflection. Russian is also one of the official languages of the United Nations and plays an important role in international diplomacy and global politics.

A language that at first glance seems difficult can become a powerful tool for broadening horizons and deepening one’s understanding of the world. The Russian for teenagers and adults course takes place in a relaxed atmosphere. Lessons focus on introducing participants to Russian grammar in a systematic and comprehensible way. Since Slovene and Russian belong to the same language family, comparing the two languages during lessons is often a valuable learning tool. This approach facilitates understanding, since it is easier for course participants to remember grammatical rules through parallels and comparisons between the two languages. When learning vocabulary, both similarities and differences are emphasised. This not only deepens understanding of the language, it enhances the learner’s linguistic sensitivity.

The courses are designed for different ages and levels, from complete beginners to learners with prior knowledge. The content of each course is adapted to the goals and wishes of the participants. Course participants take part in various exhibitions, projects, festivals and a final event.
