Course Overview

Online Russian Levels 15&16 is an Intermediate Russian course course for students who have studied the Russian language to a fairly high level. This is an intensive Russian course allowing you to take two Russian levels in 6 weeks and progress more quickly. Online Russian Levels 15&16 requires that you have previously studied Russian Level 14 or a course of at least 168 class hours. If you’re unsure of your level, then take our quick Russian language level test here, or check our level 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.
