I’ve been studying Russian at the U3AC for about 4 years, and although I think I have a reasonable grip on grammar, my vocab and conversational skills are poor. I,d like to sit in on next mondays class to see if its not too difficult for me, with a view, if you have room, to joining. Can this be done?
Dear Roger,
Perhaps you should write to the tutor, Alison Wilson, on aw444@cam.ac.uk
She should be able to tell you if a trial lesson is possible.
Good luck!
If you are not particularly interested in formal course, perhaps an informal conversation group is all you need to improve your Russian language skills.
There is also a Russian Conversational Exchange group that meets every Tuesday at 10am in the Waterstone’s cafe, Bridge Street, Cambridge. It is free and informal. Both native Russians and native Brits are welcome, and no-one needs to sign up in advance, just turn up. 🙂
Roger, the Conversational exchange could provide you with a good opportunity of practising and extending extending your knowlwdge of Russian. There are around 12-15 regular attendees with differing levels of Russian and English and you will be made very welcome.
Does the Russian Conversational Exchange group that meets every Tuesday at 10am in the Waterstone’s cafe, Bridge Street, Cambridge still exist, at the same time/place? We’d like to go tomorrow if so….

Indeed, it does. Your don’t need to sign up for it – just turn up any time between 10 and 12 on a Tuesday.
