Eighteen Tanzanians received certificates of completion of an intensive Russian language course organized in Arusha by the representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo in Dar es Salaam. The courses were attended by specialists in the field of tourism - hotel workers, guides, employees and owners of travel agencies.
A philologist from Buryatia Bairma Kikhoro worked as a teacher for the group. She prepared a special course program that included the basics of grammatical knowledge and vocabulary necessary to communicate with tourists from Russia.
After Zanzibar, Arusha is the second most popular tourist destination in Tanzania. The city is locared near the greatest peak in Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro, travelers from all over the world go on safari in the famous national parks.
The two-week course consisted of three hours a day. From the first lesson, the most authentic dialogues were introduced, approximate scenarios of communication between guests and hotel employees in Russian were studied. Depending on the topic, some of the lessons were held directly in the hotel's guest service rooms - at the reception, in the room, in the restaurant. The students even staged a Russian fairy tale about the turnip, which greatly inspired them.
