About the Standard Russian language Course

The Standard Russian Course offers 20 lessons a week, packed with everything you need to develop your Russian skills quickly. You’ll master all four key areas: reading, writing, speaking, and listening, plus essential grammar—don’t worry, we make it friendly! Expect engaging discussions sparked by reading or listening exercises, along with writing tasks to cement what you’ve learned.

And if you’re a complete beginner, get ready for a fascinating linguistic journey from Day One!

Noor, UK: ”Absolutely incredible! In six weeks, I was able to learn the content of a full year’s university course of Russian. The teachers are wonderful and very helpful. I couldn’t recommend it enough!”

Standard Russian – the most popular course!

So why do students who want to learn Russian in Riga often consider our standard course? The course allows you to perfectly combine the two most important parts of the Russian language immersion program: Russian language practice and cultural aspects. Just imagine that taking 20 Russian language lessons per week, you will noticeably see the improvement in your Russian! What is more, you will have enough free time to explore the beautiful city of Riga and get to know Latvia.  That’s why this is one of the most popular programs to learn Russian, especially during the summer! But if you set for more higher progress, definitely consider our Intensive Russian language course or add some Individual lessons (Module of 5 to 10 individual lessons per week).

! The group classes can be conducted either in morning or afternoon time periods (following a zig-zag timetable). Lesson schedule can vary. Each week’s timetable is confirmed on Friday the previous week.

More Options for Standard Russian

In addition to any group program, you may also book one of the Language Plus module courses: Russian for Politics, Business Russian, Russian via Movies, Russian verbs of motion, and more. You may also add General Individual Russian (5 to 10 individual lessons per week), TRKI / TELC exam preparation.
Check the Study Abroad program with the possibility to earn credit points from your home university. Secondly, we advise paying attention to the Long-Term Course for extensive studies and Russian language practice and immersion, price reduction opportunities, and other benefits.

Feedback from our students about their Russian course and experience learning Russian abroad in Riga

Justice, USA: “Russian Language Academy in Riga has excellent instructors and a great learning atmosphere. I enjoyed learning Russian and new ways to apply grammatical structures into questions and statements. Above all, I received so much more than I expected! If I study Russian abroad again, I will definitely come here.”

Louise, France: ”I feel that this week has really helped me to improve my Russian skills, especially grammatically. Being able to immerse yourself in the Russian language four hours a day is a great way to learn. I would like to have stayed longer. Thank you dear RLA Riga team!”

Marianne: ”The course aims at developing all language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing). But the focus is definitely on the oral part of the language, which I deeply value. The class is constructed as a series of debates and discussions where everyone has the chance to both take part in dialogues and live interaction. Everyone can speak for longer periods of time and develop an argument in depth.”
