Russian

A1 – Foundations

Students learn the Cyrillic alphabet, basic sounds, and essential reading and writing skills. They begin using simple sentences to introduce themselves, describe family and daily routines, and talk about familiar objects and places. Interactive activities, visuals, and cultural stories keep learning engaging and accessible.

A1–A2 – Expanding Communication

Students increase their vocabulary and begin connecting sentences more naturally. They learn to talk about hobbies, school life, food, and everyday activities. Reading simple authentic materials—menus, signs, short messages—helps them recognize Russian in real-world contexts. Listening activities build accuracy and prepare them for faster, more natural speech.

A2–B1 – Building Conversation

Students start to express opinions, describe past experiences and future plans, and participate in longer conversations. Grammar becomes more meaningful: students practice basic case usage, verb aspects, and sentence connectors. Writing develops into short paragraphs, and students begin exploring cultural themes, short articles, and age-appropriate media content.

B1–B2 – Developing Independence

Students focus on increasing fluency and accuracy. They work with more detailed texts, participate in extended conversations, and learn to organize thoughts in longer writing tasks such as reflections, descriptions, and simple argumentative pieces. They are exposed to current events, cultural topics, and short literary or informational excerpts that strengthen their analytical and comprehension skills. These experiences prepare them well for future Russian study in high school and beyond.
