Cambridge Russian Winter Course 2020 Online
Saturday 28 November, 2020, 09:00 - Sunday 6 December, 2020, 21:00
We are delighted to announce that, by popular demand, we have decided to re-run our online Russian course that took place at the end of August 2020.
This course is short and spread out, to avoid both the physical and psychological strain of computer work. A major advantage is that you will be able to enjoy the online lessons without having to travel or commute, and you can join us from any ‘corner’ of the globe.
We shall follow our long-established tradition of daily themes, interactive teaching groups formed according to the students’ levels of Russian, a considerate and flexible individual approach, and a supportive and inspirational atmosphere that we aspire to create online.
STUDENTS OF ANY LEVEL OF RUSSIAN ARE MOST WELCOME!
