On April, 13 it was an application deadline for Scholarship for studying Russian language at our School. The Scholarship covers the tuition fee in our Summer Russian Language Program in July or August 2009. For applying you needed to fill in the application form on your site and send an essay.

We’ve received nearly 30 applications sent from different countries: Lithuania, Czech Republic, Estonia, Tajikistan, Poland, Croatia, USA and Belgium. It was pleasant to get to know how many people are interested in Russian Language learning. Thanks to everybody who has taken part in our competition!

Tomorrow our jury members will begin their work and they’ll come to a verdict in a week. We are sure it’ll be hard to choose only one essay. On April, 20 the winner’s name will be announced on our site! Don’t miss the jury’s decision!

On Monday, April, 6, new students from Great Britain began studying in our School. Graham studies Russian from the beginning so he took an individual course and we’re sure he will progress in learning Russian soon. Jenny speaks Russian quite well and she wants to improve her knowledge of Russian. Our experienced teacher Veronica is ready to help her. This Wednesday we are going to have a “Welcome” party for the British students with participation of the volunteers. Our “old” student Lukasz will join us too.

Earlier in April a train from St. Petersburg arrived at Petrozavodsk railway station at 7 a.m. Two young girls, Anja and Tanja, came to our city from Germany to take part in social projects.Two days later an Italian guy Maurizio joined the girls. The volunteers are members of “European Voluntary Service” and are  going to spend 5 month in Karelia helping handicapped children, teaching and sharing their voluntary experience with students and schoolchildren in Petrozavodsk, organizing different shows and events.

Anja, Tanja and Maurizio started studying Russian in our School. They’re not beginners, because they have already participated in social projects and programs in Russia. But this time the volunteers communicate with the Russians every day and knowledge of the Russian language is one of the keys to successful results of their social projects in Karelia.
