In this post we want to tell you more about the study process at "Enjoy Russian".

Russian language learning at "Enjoy Russian Language School" is organized according to Russian language testing system (TORFL) supervised by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, and is compliant with the best education quality standards. We offer Russian language programs for foreign students of any age and any level of proficiency in Russian – from beginner (А0) to advanced (С1/С2). Each course curriculum is carefully planned and structured. Every level course consists of 1-week modules, so a "module" is a portion of a language curriculum that is taught for one week.

We chose modular system in order to establish clear and realistic language learning objectives. The content of each module (study program) can be found on our website. Study process at school is conducted carefully according to the program, so our students know for sure what they are going to learn at "Enjoy Russian" long before they arrive in Petrozavodsk.

If you want to find out your level of Russian, contact our students' advisor, and then take a short grammar and vocabulary test that will help us determine your proficiency level. After the test, we will inform you what level you are at, and which modules are recommended for you to take. So, if you are A1 (Elementary level), you can take 1-6 modules of A1-A2 study program. The length of the full course is 6 weeks (=6 modules), so if you take them all, you'll reach A2 level of the Russian language proficiency in just 1,5 months. If you don't have time to take the whole course, you can take as many modules as you wish, and cover a part of the course that will also be a significant step towards improvement of your Russian skills. If you are in the middle of a level, A1+ or A2+, you can join the course in the middle of it. So, let's say you know the material of 3 out of 6 modules of our A1-A2 study program. Our advisor will recommend you the dates when you can join the course starting from the 4th module.
