Target Group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beginners, also without previous knowledge, and (more) advanced students of all levels who are interested in intercultural and intensive Russian classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many participants have been attending our seminars for several years now. At the same time, every year we look forward to seeing new faces, fostering international connections, and facilitating exchanges among people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our classes focus on oral language skills and always include background knowledge about Russia and its culture. We work in small learning groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our teachers are (mostly) native speakers with qualifications for teaching Russian as a foreign languare who also teach at Russian or Austrian universities or colleges of higher education. All successful participants will receive a detailed confirmation of participation in German and Russian, upon request also in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic Groups (in the morning)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the level of language proficiency, the seminar participants are divided into groups – (possibly) a beginners‘ group and some groups for advanced learners. The minimum number of participants required to form a group is 3. The morning classes are started each day by one assigned teacher (\u201cgroup leader\u201d) and are then continued by other teachers in the second unit, depending on the level and special wishes of the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specializations (\u0441\u043f\u0435\u0446\u043a\u0443\u0440\u0441\u044b)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a cross-group class. Depending on their knowledge of Russian and their interests, seminar participants can choose a course each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
