Russian Language Courses
Whether you are planning for a trip to Russian or looking to try something new, Russian can be a fun language to learn. It is popular in over 15 different countries, where it can be useful for everyday travel, to connect with family, or even to explore fascinating literature. By learning from our native Russian speaker, you will develop a stronger connection to Russian history and culture.
One Blin at a Time Russian
Learning a language may seem daunting. How can we possibly learn thousands of words in hundreds of thousands of combinations?
The answer:
One blin at a time. Blini are thin, Russian pancakes. In Russian and Ukrainian kitchens, dozens of blini are made to create large stacks of comfort food. In “One Blin at a Time Russian” you will learn word by word and combination by combination to create stacks and stacks of fluidity with the Russian language.
“One Blin at a Time Russian” is a series of four-week courses design for multi-level learning. Beginner to intermediate learners of the Russian language are welcome to join in on the fun. Each four-week session will focus on one topic at a time with the following structure:
Week 1: nouns by topic
Week 2: add verbs to the nouns from week one
Week 3: add adjectives and adverbs
Week 4: Review/miscellaneous
Sessions – Winter and Spring 2023
This course is divided into four themed sessions that meet four times each. We will be meeting on Mondays from 2:30-3:30pm. The cost of each session is $115 and you can sign up for a single session at a time, or multiple sessions by adding them to the cart. See the schedule below.
