Imagine you are in Madrid, Spain, with family and friends, and you need to buy clothes for two family events in Puerto Rico. But you only have €100, and you don't want to spend more than that. One event is formal and takes place in a catering hall, while the other is at the beach. One of your friends with you may be able to lend you money, but you don't like asking for help with money.

Our team is developing a new intensive program for American students learning Russian as a foreign language, with a focus on business Russian.
The program focuses on studying proverbs, sayings, and language expressions that reveal cultural and business ethics.
The goal of the program is to immerse students in Russian everyday and cultural contexts, identify similarities and differences with American culture, and help develop skills for effective business communication.
