RUSSIAN COURSE ACCORDING TO SUPERLEARNING KARNION METHOD
The Karnion method, which includes listening in the alpha state, in which the content is remembered 4 times faster and goes directly into your long-term memory, and one-on-one conversation with a teacher, has become widely known and appreciated since we have already been on the market for 25 years. Language knowledge cannot be acquired only through conversation, listening is of utmost importance. During listening you will obtain new vocabulary which you will activate during conversation lessons. As you know, we learn our mother tongue with listening to our parents or other care-givers and in this way, this method represents the most natural way of learning.
The knowledge of Russian has been of extreme importance in
Slovenia for quite some time now. Russian-speaking business people really appreciate it if you are able to communicate in their language. Being a Slavic language, you should be able to pick it up quickly and effortlessly. If you are at least vaguely familiar with the Cyrillic script, it should be even easier. Alpha state enhances associative learning, therefore, learning Russian from Slovenian is relatively straightforward.
What does the course look like?
The course is quite intensive; it is usually comprised of 4 or 8 lessons a day. To achieve maximum accumulation effect in speaking, we recommend that a 40-lesson training course is completed in 14 days.
Prior to the beginning of the course, you are tested to assess your knowledge (understanding, writing, reading and speaking) according to the European criteria of foreign language knowledge (levels between A1 and C2). According to the results, a custom-made programme is prepared for you. For example, if you are already able to communicate in Russian but you have some gaps from a basic level, only these gaps are filled and then learning is continued on a higher level. This is quite impossible in language schools that carry out courses according to fixed programmes (books).
COMPARISON WITH THE CONVENTIONAL WAY OF LEARNING RUSSIAN
According to conventional methods, a beginner needs about 800 lessons to achieve level B2. In Karnion we can guide you to the same result in 200 lessons, whereas it would take you 1,074 lessons to achieve that in Slovenian school system.

RUSSIAN COURSE FOR BEGINNERS
The way you tackle learning Russian as a beginner can make all the difference. Learning a foreign language should be a joyful experience such as a child experiences when discovering new things. Our 25 years of experience clearly show that the Karnion method awakens the joy of learning which enables our students to start speaking sooner.
CUSTOM-MADE LESSONS
Another two important factors of success in Karnion are custom-made programmes and real coaching implemented by a coach- teacher. This means that our students study topics they need and are interested in. Student-specific topics are custom-made both at beginner levels as well as the most advanced ones.
