Russian

Добро пожаловать на урок русского языка!

The Russian language courses of the University of Groningen Language Centre focus mainly on speaking and understanding Russian. During the course you will first learn the Cyrillic script, in order to be able to read and write Russian. The Language Centre offers a beginners course and Russian courses of various levels for those who already have some knowledge of the Russian language.

Participants will learn to read and speak in Russian and communicate about everyday subjects such as working, eating and drinking and hobbies. Grammar is not a goal in itself, but will be used to support language acquisition. You will also be introduced to several cultural aspects of Russia.

Language of Instruction

The target language is the language of instruction as much as possible. The course is taught in Dutch and/or English. Russian courses are open to native and non-native speakers of Dutch. The course material is in Dutch and English.

These courses will be taught as an online interactive group course via Blackboard Collaborate; our online classroom for the coming period! One lesson lasts 90 minutes. Per lesson you should count on 2-3 hours of self-study for the beginners' course, and 4-6 hours for the higher levels. Read here everything you can expect from an online language course.
