Went for a Russian course found the teacher to be extreamly rude & was bullied by her. I would not recommend anyone to join this course at Brasshouse. It is a waste of money & you will loose a lot of motivation. I would recommend Pimsleur or Micheal Thomas rather than being bullied every lesson & comming home disapointed. Also remember this is not a free course so I expected a lot of respect.

So do you learn basic Russian on the beginners course?

NO! You will be learning just how to read on the beginners course, if thats a A1 level for beginners, then thats another reason to avoid this place as reading is easy & its waste of money for 3 months straight, if you are only focussing on reading & not speaking. They dont even cover grammer & explain grammer so for it to be a extra helping class its pointless aswell. Even if they focus on speaking respect rate is very low sadly.
