Previous knowledge of Russian is not necessary. We plan a group for beginners and at least four other groups at different levels. Participants are taught in small groups of four to ten students. This includes basic instruction, conversation, reading literature and texts about Russia.
Main fields are phonetics, economic terminology, literature, Russian culture and Russian politics.
Instruction in the beginners' group is conducted in Russian, together with German and English. In beginners' classes traditional teaching methods are combined with elements of superlearning, in advanced classes students concentrate on different projects and their presentation. Additional activities are lectures on Russia, Russian tv, videofilms, singing Russian songs, dramatic group, tasting new wine at the famous Heurigen. Tamara Blum, Olga Burenina-Petrova, Irina Krasnova, Larissa Kasic, Harald Loos, Tatiana Nicolescu, Tatiana Stadler and others. Some of the lecturers live in Russia and only come to Austria for the seminar.
