Russian classes

We teach Russian as a foreign language to children and adults, from beginner to advanced level. The classes are aimed at Spanish and Catalan speakers who are starting from scratch or want to pick the language back up again, and are taught by native Russian teachers. Small groups and a flexible timetable.

Types

In-person classes

At our centre on Carrer de Provença, in the heart of Barcelona. Small groups and close contact with the teacher and fellow students.

Online classes

The same syllabus and the same faculty, wherever you are. A practical option if you live outside Barcelona or your schedule does not fit in-person classes.

You can combine both modalities throughout the course.

Why study languages with us?

01
Real-world practice outside the classroom
You’ll have conversations with native speakers and pupils from other backgrounds during school activities, not just in class.
02
Access to cultural programming
Concerts, exhibitions and festivals included for all pupils, with language as part of the context.
03
A multicultural environment
You share a space with music, dance and art students from different countries. The exchange is constant.
04
Native-speaking teaching staff
All classes are taught by native teachers, complete with the original accent, turns of phrase and cultural references.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to know any Russian to get started?

No. We have beginner-level groups that start with the Cyrillic alphabet and pronunciation. We also accept students with some prior knowledge: before you join, we’ll give you a test to place you in the right group.

At what age can my child start?

We work with children and adults in separate groups, using materials and a pace suited to each age group.

Are the lessons in groups or one-to-one?

We offer both options. The groups are small, which allows for plenty of speaking practice. One-to-one lessons are an option if you’re looking for a very specific timetable or a different pace to that of the group.

Can it be done online?

Yes. The online course follows the same syllabus and is taught by the same teaching staff as the face-to-face course, and you can combine the two throughout the academic year.

Who teaches the classes?

Native Russian teaching staff. Beyond the language, they provide the cultural context: references, turns of phrase and real usage that do not appear in textbooks.

When can I start?

Enrolment is open all year round. You can join at any point during the course: we’ll carry out a placement test beforehand to place you in the appropriate group.

In which language are the lessons taught?

The teaching staff are native Russian speakers, and at the early stages, explanations are given in Spanish or Catalan. As pupils progress, lessons are conducted increasingly in Russian.
