Intensive Group Russian Course: EDUCA Russian Language School

I spent two weeks at Educa in September and I would highly recommend it to anyone else interested in studying Russian. The school is well organized and supports you through the visa process and can pair you with a host family if you so choose. Its location is amazing, being located just off Nevsky Prospect and so a short walk to most interesting cultural sites. I opted for the intensive group classes option and found them highly beneficial. Class sizes in my experience were small, either 2 or 4 people, which was extremely optimal for language learning. My teacher Olga was fantastic. The best language teacher I have had! As such I am very pleased with the progress made over two weeks. I hope to return to Educa in the future!

It’s only been my first week, but so far I have really enjoyed it. My teacher Nina has been very good at not only giving the basic definitions of words, but also giving the deeper meanings and nuances of words and phrases. Along with having the great opportunity to hear and speak Russian in a controlled environment, it’s a great place to attend classes. I can tell Nina and all of the staff here truly care about the students and want to give them an amazing experience in not only learning the Russian language, but also showing the students this wonderful culture and country. I’m having a great time here and look forward to continuing classes here

I’ve spent three weeks in an intensive class. Before I came here, I could already understand Russian, but I couldn'r speak. Studying in a group motivates to speak more, so my speaking in Russian has improved whithn this short period. The atmosphere in the classroom is very comfortable, so even as someone who is starting to learn the language, you feel comfortable speaking Russian. Now I'm planning to learn more on my own and than I want to come again to study Russian at Educa Russian Language School.
