It is a well-established fact that the best way to learn a foreign language is to visit a country where it is spoken. Estonia’s historical connection provides students with one of the best opportunities to learn Russian in the region.
The teachers in the course are all native speakers of Russian and they all use the most up-to-date teaching materials. Furthermore, the course offers a real opportunity for genuine communication in Russian – while at the same time offering European standards of safety and service.
This programme differs from other summer schools located in Russia or western countries since it offers a unique bridge to the Russian language and culture. Please read more about Language Programme
After a short written test, students will be divided into groups based on their initial proficiency in the Russian language. The number of groups depends on the number of participants, usually, there are 3-4 groups. Please note that participants in one group might have slightly different levels, more advanced students can ask for additional tasks.
