Today we are glad to welcome a new group of students from Belgium, Austria, and Italy. In a week some more students from Estonia will join us. Moreover, we have five students from Belgium, so we are sure, these students will find much in common :) Some of our guests are going to take part in the 2 week Russian courses, others in the 4 week course.
 

Summer Russian Courses

 

“We covered a wide variation of vocabulary and situations where you have to speak Russian. With discussions of many topics we learned new words and ways to express ourselves in Russian. My host family was very nice. My room was big and quite nice. It was very nice to meet Russian girls, who acted as volunteers. They made the effort to talk to everybody. And they were always in a good mood, smiling, and laughing; they made us feel that they really enjoyed spending time with us. We practiced a lot of Russian with them! Everything went well; the coordinators at "Enjoy Russian" were very approachable. There were no problems and the Russian language course corresponded to my expectations. I’m very happy with the summer program.”
Suvi Kankaanpaa, Finland, June 2009

Besides being trained by high-class Russian language teachers you’ll be sightseeing, practicing your Russian with Russian student-volunteers, living with a hostfamily like a real Russian, participating in different exciting activities and events, and traveling.
