About

This Modern Russia - Language and Culture module at the HSE University caters for students who have just begun learning Russian, as well as for those who have already studied it before. 

Overview

As a Russian poet Fyodor Tyutchev claimed you could not grasp Russia with your mind, but we believe our classes on language and culture will definitely help you get there.

The Modern Russia - Language and Culture module at the HSE University is geared towards those who would like to go on an exciting journey into the world of the language of Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky — an intensive study of the language comprising the constant communication with native speakers, authentic teaching materials and a unique method of language learning that allows not only to improve the skills of the Russian language in a short period of time, but also to discover the mysteries of the Russian soul, as well as the culture and history of the Russians.

Why Choose This Course?

The Russian language is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world by the number of speakers and in terms of countries where it is represented. Russian is one of the UN official working languages along with some other international organisations. The first words ever pronounced outside of the planet Earth were in Russian, and these days all astronauts who work on the International Space Station learn conversational Russian.

Programme Structure

Course content:

  • Depending on language proficiency level, students get a comprehensive Russian language course (levels A1 and A2) which contains elements of conversational practice, listening, grammar, reading and writing, or aspectual training (levels B1-C1) which contains communicative grammar, conversational discussion classes, practical skills of reading and listening to authentic texts of various genres (media texts, fiction), as well as creating own written texts.
  • If students start learning Russian from scratch, they get the hang of basic verbal skills for day-to-day communication. Those who have studied the Russian Language before will be able to improve previously acquired skills and proficiency in using it in social and professional spheres.
