This article is dedicated to the translation course at the RLTC (Russian
Language Teaching Center), St-Petersburg University, Russia.
This course has been running for two years and experience shows that it
has been a very useful method for acquiring greater knowledge of the
Russian language.
Lessons are held once a week per semester (four months) or one year (8
months). Students come from the USA, Great Britain and other Western
European countries.
All texts for translation are based on practical course themes and are
related to modern life in Russia. At the end of the course students take
an examination based on two texts (one known and one unknown).
