The main principles can be outlined as follows:

• students start speaking Russian immediately!
• we believe that to learn to speak you need to speak freely, even if you make mistakes.
• we teach practical grammar through communicative tasks, even those traditionally presented as 'you-will-have-to-learn-it-yourself' items such as cases, reading and pronunciation rules, conjugations and others.
• we teach modern conversational Russian.
• we provide our students with up-to-date knowledge of contemporary Russian culture and some understanding of the recent past which can be useful in dealing with the 'mysterious Russian soul'.

Any foreigner coming to Russia has to receive a special invitation from the inviting organization. Educacentre provides the visa invitations for all students. The length of the visa invitation is strictly set according to amount of weeks of tuition and the accommodation booked at Educacentre. We also provide the special instructions for filling in the visa application form along with the invitation.

We strongly recommend our students to check with the local Russian Consulate which other documents are required in order to receive the visa.
