These courses are popular not only with foreigners who are living and working in Latvia, but also with local people who feel the need to improve their Russian skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As with English and French courses, there are 27 lessons per course, each lesson lasting 90 minutes. Courses run twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays or Mondays and Wednesdays).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All the courses are based on a carefully selected course book. However, as our philosophy is to teach the tools of grammar through communication, every course is heavily supplemented with additional activities and ideas to give students the opportunity to use the language in class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the courses, all the language skills; reading, listening, speaking, and writing are taught; however, we place most emphasis on speaking and listening. Writing tasks are usually given for homework, with the student receiving individual feedback from the teacher.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of the course, students take an exam based on the areas covered during the course. Upon successful completion of the exam, the student is presented with a certificate and can progress to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>For private lessons <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #333333;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #333333; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/linguafranca.lv\/en\/private-lessons\/\">click here<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We offer Russian classes to private students and those who would prefer to study in a group.
