The second week of learning Russian starts today. On Saturday the boys and the girls visited Kizhi Island. They liked the amazing “Karelian Pearl” very much. It is one of the most favorite excursions for our students, and they enjoyed the beauty of the architectural ensemble a lot. Besides, three students from Estonia came to us this weekend, and today they will have their first classes at the “Enjoy Russian” language school.

 Not only volunteers and staff of Center Initiative are sure that Tim is a friendly and very communicative young man, this can also confirm young people from Ptz. Last Thursday they had an opportunity to meet him at measure, which was called “Holland: Land of free tulips” where Tim has taken an active part.
 People from Petrozavodsk saw a presentation about the Netherlands and learn how to pronounce some words in this beautiful language. Then everybody play an interesting game: Tim was reading a text in the Dutch language and Russian people should recognize 12 words which came to Russian language from Holland. Nobody can find all these words ;)!
 Tim told us that in the Netherlands people often each sweet hamburgers (with chocolate and son on) and we tried to make such hamburgers too. At the end of measure “Holland: Land of free tulips” the best hamburger’s maker have got a price - real Holland sausage!
