At Language Link we aim to offer students the maximum possible flexibility and choice in their study programmes. Thanks to our policy of 'open groups' it is possible to join one of our standard courses at any time, provided there is a place available in a group of your level. Even if there is no group of your level currently running, we are happy to start a new group for you as soon as another student of the same level joins us. Individual courses can be arranged to start at any time.
Alternatively, you may choose to arrive for one of our regular, special offer 2-week intensive courses (in Moscow only) which can form a springboard to more extended studies. The upcoming start dates for 2-week intensive courses are given on the page Hot Offers.
Students may attend any course from two up to fifty-two weeks, and timetables range from two to five academic hours a day (group tuition is subject to availability). Please note that one academic hour is 45 minutes long, and it is customary to study for at least 2 academic hours at a time, in accordance with the Russian state education system. We run lessons in the morning, afternoon and evening, and we do our best to provide each student with a timetable that fits in with their other commitments.
To find out about groups that are running currently or starting soon, please write to us at russian@language.ru stating your level (beginner, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-intermediate or advanced). If you are unsure of your level, you can get a rough idea by completing our Test On-line (50 multiple-choice questions which take around 5 - 15 minutes to answer). All students are tested on arrival and carefully placed according to their Russian language skills and experience to ensure effective learning.
