Russian Language Intensive Course.


An Opportunity for Beginners and Intermediate Students

In the spring and summer of 2010 we are offering intensive Russian Language courses at Elementary and Intermediate levels. The month-long courses will be held at Orion, within a small, intimate community giving plenty of opportunity to practice conversation and interact with the members and their children. The Intermediate course is timed to help Russian Language University Students to prepare for their exams and it falls over the Easter break. Maximum five people in each group.

Intermediate – Advanced Russian Course: 20 March – 17 April 2010

Beginners & Intermediate Russian Courses (2 groups): 23 June– 21 July 2010

How is this different from all the other Russian Language Courses on offer?

You will receive 10 hours tuition per week from an enthusiastic young teacher who has been a member of the Kitezh-Orion communities for three years. Your teacher, Yulya Lyubimtseva is a philologist, specialised in Russian Literature, currently preparing for her PhD. She is also committed to working with children at Kitezh. She will give you individual attention and expert tuition in Russian Grammar, Language and Literature.

After 2 hours of class in the mornings, you can join in the daily activities in Orion, working alongside Russian speakers to improve your language skills. You can play with the children, help out in the kitchen or garden and work on the ongoing building projects. In summer many Russian students come to volunteer at Orion, so there is a fun and active group of young people there. Evenings are bound to include singing around a bonfire, Russian style.

If you wish to stay on for up to 2 months longer as a volunteer, either at Orion or at Kitezh, you can easily do so.

Additional 2 hours per day Language Lessons can be arranged for those who want to immerse themselves in Language study, but this does demand a high level of commitment to the classes. Let us know if this is what you want to do.


Cost:

4 week course: £1,335 (including 40 hours tuition, accommodation with full board, transfer from Moscow airport and back, visa support and pre-departure preparation)

Additional month(s) as a volunteer £130 per month plus £95 for an extended visa.

This does not include the Russian consular visa fee nor does it include travel insurance and airfare to Moscow.
