In Russian Level 3, you will strengthen your conversation skills and deepen your understanding of Russian grammar. We will explore all essential for confident intermediate Russian: Russian tenses, verbs of motion, and the perfective/imperfective aspects.
Classes are taught live with an experienced instructor, so you get real-time feedback, support, and plenty of speaking practice.

You’ll work on listening, speaking, reading, and writing using authentic materials: short texts from Russian literature, social media posts, music, news, and articles.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear guide for continuing your Russian language progress and expanding your skills in real-life Russian communication.

Learning objectives

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Form sentences using all six Russian noun cases
• Understand and use the superlative degree of adjectives
• Distinguish between perfective and imperfective aspects (делать – сделать, покупать – купить)
• Conjugate verbs of motion (идти – ехать)
• Recognize and differentiate unidirectional and multidirectional verbs of motion (идти – ходить, ехать – ездить)
• Understand how prefixes change the meaning of verbs of motion (заехать, выехать, переехать, доехать, объехать, and more)

This course uses a communicative approach that connects real-life Russian with classroom learning. These classes are practical, meaningful, and designed to help you feel comfortable using Russian beyond the textbook.
