The tour is organized as a lesson. We will learn how to read in Russian, as well as several basic Russian words and expressions.
If you wish, I can also include these parts:
• Public transport survival guide (it may be useful if you are staying more than a couple of days and will need to go anywhere by yourself - main problem with public transport is that most passengers and staff don't speak English and all the signs are in Cyrillic);
• Practical language tasks in the city (e.g. how to buy coffee);
• Short history of Russian language and Cyrillic script.
If you want to buy some specific goods (souvenirs, food, etc.) you can email me in advance so that I'll change the place of the tour. We will work on making all the communications in Russian :)
Please note that the lesson takes place in a cafe, so you'll need to pay for your drink (it is not included in the price of the tour).
It is actually a lesson and it goes on in a cafe. After the lesson, we will take a walking tour for an hour, where I can show you some highlights of St. Petersburg!
