Course Overview

Online Russian Level 13 is an Intermediate course for students who have studied the Russian language to a fairly high level. Online Russian Level 13 requires that you have previously studied Russian Level 12 or a course of at least 144 class hours. If you’re unsure of your level, then take our quick Russian language level test here or check our levels chart.

Our Online Russian language classes take place via Zoom with a qualified, experienced teacher and fellow students. The interactive lessons emulate our face-to-face classes, and via teacher screen-sharing, students are able to experience a live classroom environment. From vocabulary activities and covering grammar points on the white board, to listening exercises, file sharing and ‘break-out rooms’ to practise speaking with classmates, students can learn without leaving the comfort of their homes. Take a look at an example of one of our online classes in this video.
