Both of my teachers were extremely helpful and kind. They made me feel like I had people, who could support me if I needed it, which was very important. My host family was also very helpful and welcoming. The cultural program was really good and well-organized.

It was great and very useful, I learned a lot of vocabulary. I find the way of teaching very innovative and full of great ideas. I became good friends with my host family, we played board games and did a lot of other fun stuff. I recommend this language courses for those who want to gain confidence in speaking the Russian language.

The teachers we had were amazing! They helped a lot, answered all questions, and they were always ready to talk about the things that interested us the most. I learnt new words and I spoke a lot, so I think I became more fluent in Russian. In my host family I really felt at home, we went to “dacha”, and I really love it. We ate “blini”, “shashliki”, went to “banya” and swam in the lake. All volunteers were nice and ready to help. I really enjoyed all the activities we did during our stay.

I really liked the course, I’ve learnt too much and I think that the way of teaching is interesting and useful. I am very happy with the organization. In my host family I felt like at home, I will come again in Petrozavodsk to visit them. I really improved my old skills and learnt lots of new words. All my wishes have been satisfied!

My host family made me feel at home. The teachers and administration staff are excellent. People in Petrozavodsk are very nice. It was great to meet Russian volunteers. I improved my level of the Russian language, now I better understand people, when they talk. I will definitely carry on studying Russian!

Russian is a hard language to learn, but the help of people in Petrozavodsk makes me more confident. Alina is an excellent teacher, she provided me with rich and diverse materials. Now I am able to speak more and talk faster. In my Russian host family I felt warm and welcomed. They took me to her dacha and Banya. It was excellent! It was my pleasure to be with them. I would like more of my fellow Chinese to come here to study Russian and learn more from Russia.

I would like to participate in the program again. It was a perfect mix of discovering new places in Karelia and learning Russian! In two weeks every day is remarkable, I really liked the Banya and every moment spent with my Russian hosts. I improved my Russian quite much I think.

My Russian teacher did well. She used very good methods by teaching the language and it matched my level of Russian. I received all the necessary information before my journey, I would recommend learning Russian in Petrozavodsk to everyone, teachers and the staff are very nice!

The teacher went above and beyond answering my questions, kind, caring, knowledgeable. My Russian hosts were very helpful and engaging, I had everything I needed here in Petrozavodsk, we often had very good conversation. I improved my Russian vocabulary and general grammar

Great experience! Russia is an incredible place that I think everyone – especially those studying the language – should see! I learned a lot!

I’ve spent here 1 month but it wasn’t enough. Teacher Alina is very good and I would recommend her to anyone. The content of the course was excellent!

I’m very happy with the Russian tutors teaching techniques, I had great communication with Russian host family, Banya was the culturally brilliant discovery. I improved my Russian oral comprehension, extended my knowledge of vocabulary and knew more about the grammar.

I enjoyed Russian active classes, good methods and interesting themes. Russian banya was amazing, interesting and friendly! There are many things to do in Petrozavodsk. I would recommend the program to anyone!

Teaching has been excellent. Russian tutors were very helpful as well as my Russian host family. I felt very comfortable in Petrozavodsk. My skills improved a lot, I was talking to my host family and could hear Russian all the time, so that was good!

When I arrived I could not speak Russian AT ALL! Now I’m able to make some sentences. So it is good! The cultural program in Petrozavodsk was great, the volunteers were very nice, if I have the time, I would participate again. I’ve learned a lot and discovered many places in Karelia. Remarkable moments? I loved the banya and trips during the weekends!

I feel like I’ve made an enormous amount of progress in Russian and can now discuss deep political issues. The teaching techniques at Enjoy Russian were modern and inspiring. We were able to take part in lots of different activities and get to meet lots of people. Thanks to Russian volunteers it was easy to settle in the life of Petrozavodsk.

The focus on speaking Russian is excellent! The teachers of Enjoy Russian school have really helped me become more confident. Russians understand me when I talk! This has made me less afraid to make mistakes! Alina and Katya are easily 2 of the best teachers I’ve ever had. The Russian volunteers are wonderful. The school is great for everyone regardless of age, origins, etc. I would definitely like to participate in the program again!

Learning Russian in Petrozavodsk was excellent. We’ve been using a lot of interesting methods. I felt very comfortable with my Russian host family and I would like to keep in touch with them on Facebook. I really enjoyed my Kizhi trip and the banya. Many thanks to Russian volunteers, they all were very nice and spoke to me lots in Russian. The coolest event? Travellig across the frozen Lake Onega! I think my spoken Russian and my ability to listen to Russian improved the most!

It is a great programme. I really enjoyed my stay in Russia and I learned a lot. The Russian language course was very interesting and useful, the teacher was excellent. Now I speak Russian with more confidence. It was interesting living with a host family in Petrozavodsk and talk to native speakers. My host was very lovely, always willing to help, living conditions were perfect. I wish I had more time in Russia so I could meet more volunteers.

Content of the Russian language course was excellent. Fun teaching methods that kept to Russian class interesting. I wish I could have stayed longer at Enjoy Russian school in Petrozavodsk to learn more complex vocabulary. Russian native speaking teacher took into account our wishes and needs. My host family in Petrozavodsk was great, just the right balance of communication and privacy. I would definitely recommend this program: definitely value for money.

Teachers at the school are, in my opinion, very good. Very useful to have contacts with the volunteers, who were very helpful. I enjoyed everything! I will definitely recommend the school to other students

I learned a lot and had a great time! Honestly, every day was great. Teachers were very knowledgeable and each teacher had their own style. No questions went unanswered!

Plenty of teaching methods were used – films, audio, role plays. We had a lot of talking practice during Russian lessons which I liked very much. The teacher made a very good job and showed sincere interest in the needs of every single student!

Teachers used the variety of different methods which kept lessons interesting. The host family were very helpful and nice and it was great living with them. I felt very at home with them and they made an effort to talk with me and make me feel welcome. I really enjoyed the program and felt that it really helped my language skills. Everyone is really nice, the classes are small and you really get a chance to learn but also feel at home.

I came knowing nothing almost and I am leaving with a lot of knowledge. I found heaps of culture in the 3 months I have beem in Petrozavodsk. Concerts, museums, dance classes, as well as visits to Kizhi and Kivach waterfall. Enjoy Russian school volunteers have been excellent. Their standard of English is outstanding!

The course content was interesting and useful. The teacher used games and discussions everyday and also helped me prepare a 15-minute presentation towards the end of the course. In my host family I felt welcome, secure, and comfortable. Petrozavodsk is a beautiful little town with nice, welcoming,
talented people. It has a very good cultural life: museums, musical concerts, outdoor sports, and very good gymnasiums.

The content of the language course was excellent. I would like to participate in the program again: good learning progress, motivating atmosphere, nice city, friendly and helpful people. I would recommend this program to others as it’s perfect to learn Russian! I truly liked everything!

I had an individual course which was held extremely flexible and made-to-measure for my needsand language knowledge. I learned a lot and understood how I should learn in the future. My teacher did a great job, she explained me everything in a very professional and kind way. Communication with the family was very pleasant. I feel now that I really can learn and actively speak Russian!

I really want to come back not only because I love Russian but because of the people I met on this course! I wish I could stay longer to learn even more! The material used I believed was engaging and helped me a great deal. My teacher was immensely helpful. She corrected my mistakes but I never felt under pressure to not make the mistakes. My host family provided everyrhing for me. Everything was well organised and everybody was eager to help.

I would like to thank my great teachers and the host family from the bottom of my heart! They are one of the best people I have ever met in my life. Volunteers played a vital role in making my stay in Petrozavodsk memorable. I will come here next year and try to bring somebody with me! Because I am pretty sure nobody else would have such a beautiful environment to study Russian language.

It was very interesting and useful, they used creative and original teaching methods such as projects, videos, games and discussions. My teachers met all my requirements and they took into account all my wishes and needs. My skills have improved. I can understand a lot of things when I watch TV in Russian!

No questions went unanswered. Very good teaching standards, nice town and fun region. I revised what I knew, learned new vocabulary and difficult things like motion verbs.

Natalia would teach us some grammar topics and then we would play a few games using them. We even went to a grocery store one day and used our language skills there, which I thought was very useful. Out of all educational programs I’ve experienced, this one was by far the most organized. I came to Petrozavodsk knowing absolutely nothing, and now I can hold a basic conversation! The most helpful thing was living with a host who was eager to help me learn Russian.

I think the whole content of the Russian course was very useful, games and videos were used when appropriate in order to diversify the methodology. In my in Petrozavodsk I had 3 teachers. All of them were very helpful and always willing to answer all my questions. Although at the beginning of my stay in Russia I did not understand my host family well they kept talking to me so I could listen and absorb some Russian words.

The teacher was excellent, lessons were very creative and interesting. We were like members of a family, food was excellent, accommodation was good too. Now I can speak Russian as much as possible!

My language skills are so much better now. I didn’t know any every-day Russian when I got there, now I can hold a conversation, order food, and go to a store. My understanding of Russian sky-rocketed. I’m really happy to have this possibility to learn Russian in Russian.

If you’re going to go anywhere in Russia and do a study abroad program, Petrozavodsk is the perfect place to go. You will study Russian in Russia fast with great Russian langauge teachers. I really enjoyed my host experience. And all of the topics covered in class were useful. I really feel less nervous to use the Russian language at a store, cafe, etc.

I had a good start with learning the Russian language. I especially liked that we always practice new vocabulary by speaking and using sentences including them. In Petrozavodsk I learnt Russian in joyful and funny way with very nice teachers. Volunteers were really helpful and friendly. I would like to participate again

Learn Russian language with Olga was great. She always answered all our questions and helped us with everything. And Petrozavodsk is the best place to study Russian in Russia as nobody speaks English and you have ti speak Russian, people are nice and you learn a lot in short time. When I came here I was an absoute beginner, but now I can speak a little.

My Russian course was excellent. My teacher Alina had many enjoyable and original games to make learning more fun and easy. She was approachable and happilly helped us with anything.

The teachers were speaking most of the time in Russian. They used different games, lead discussions and help us with projects and new words. For example, my teacher Katya explained me the defference in words: в горах, на горе, в горе. The family took time to speak with me and was very helpful. I felt like at home and very welcomed. I hope to keep in touch with them. The program was great, a lot of activities! I really enjoyed the Russian speaking club. No way to get bored. It was amazing to meet volunteers.

There is very good Russian food at home and family has been extremely friendly and open (Elena is fantastic). This is my third time in Russia at a host family – this is the best family by far. Excursions are big part of the program. Karelia is a fantastic place. An idea about volunteers is very good. I have only positive experiences from beginning to an end. I will recommend the school and might return.

I really enjoyed my stay in Petrozavodsk. There are so many opportunities. I liked my classes. It is better to Russian in Russia than in Austria. My family was very communicative and friendly.

This school is a good opportunity to learn Russian well. But do not come here with friends, come alone.

The course was excellent. The host family was really super!!! The cultural program was fine. I liked Kivach, rafting, but museum of regional history was boring. I hope it would be less expensive next time. The volunteers Alyona and Anatoliy were good and friendly. I wished there was wi-fi zone in the school. I had a good time and learnt a lot. I will recommend this school because it’s cheap and good, fun and helpful.

I spent excellent 3 months with “EnjoyRussian”. Content of the language course was excellent. Materials (student books) were adapted, various documents and subjects were very helpful in studying Russian. I liked the fact to change teachers every 2 weeks, to be faced with different ways of teaching accents and personalities. Organization and administration of program were excellent. I improved my Russian language skills greatly. I’ll recommend this program to other people because it’s intensive and mini-groups are very efficient.

General impression about the program is excellent! I wish I was staying for longer! My Russian has definitely improved! When I arrived I couldn’t say anything and now I can hold a long conversation almost about anything!
My teachers always made me feel more confident and were encouraging. My host has been fantastic! She is helpful, kind and a fantastic cook! It has been absolutely great living with her! Volunteers – they were all fantastic!

The teacher, Veronika, was really nice and I like very much her way to teach using films and other materials. I would recommend the program to other people because Petrozavodsk is a nice place to learn Russian as there are few foreign students and it’s easy to communicate with Russians.

The homestay is a good idea as you should get an insight into Russian culture.

The content of the language course was perfect for the amount of Russian that I knew when I got here. The topics we did helped me to get by in everyday life in Petrozavodsk.

Great to get to know Russian language, culture, food, people, way of living and thinking! Small city where you easily find your way and can very easily meet people!

In class, I was in minigroup, we were often no more than 3, that allowed me to talk and ask questions and the teacher to have time to answer with examples. Then I was in one to one class and I chose the topic, it was convenient and efficient. Activities are interesting because there are russian volunteers, so in addition of any kind of sport or cultural activities, I talked russian. By the way, my host also was nice, we talked russian, we shared a lot of funny stories and I tried different russian dishes.

I’ve made a significant progress in Russian.

The cultural topics and the grammar had a good balance. My family was great, they are such good people, and my room was so big and cozy. I felt like home. What I liked most was the Russian banya and the ice-skating. Everything was organized very well and I felt very safe and in good hands. If I have a chance I will come back again.

The Russian course was excellent. The family was very friendly, nice people. I didn’t visit many excursions, but I really liked the rock climbing.

Volunteers were really nice and friendly. I’m really happy that I was there, I learned so much and I felt welcomed and not on my own (if you need anything you always get help).

Everything was excellent, including my living conditions! I really enjoyed living with Татьяна. We coordinated so that we could talk over breakfast in the mornings and over tea at night, so anyone who stays with her will get excellent practice! The room had everything I needed. Tatyana was so helpful in every way. If I return, I would certainly like to stay with her and her family again. As for my wishes, I don’t think anything could be improved! I have no complaints!

The teacher was never getting tired of explaining difficult things to us. The exercises were very helpful. I would recommend the School to other people because the program here is a lot of fun, the people are so nice and I’m very glad about my progress concerning my Russian language skills.

The material was good but a little basic for my level. The two hours per day were not enough. I would recommend about 3-4 hours per day, not 2 that we had.
Arina, my teacher, did a good job explaining. I have made good conversational knowledge! I wish Arina the best of luck!

The content of the language course was excellent! Olga is an excellent teacher! The training course was very logical and structured! But Olga was also flexible to answer to my questions that were outside of the program. Methods of teaching were very active and interesting. I have learnt a lot, but still need to practice! And I wish teachers to continue with the same motivation and interest! Don’t change)

I feel it really is the best way to experience Russia.

Studying one-to-one was very beneficial!

Overall the course helped me improve my written, spoken Russian. Teaching was excellent. Женя was a great teacher. My apartment was nice, modern and close to the center. Kizhi was a fantastic trip. I felt our group was too old for the other activities such as the Karaoke, etc. Didn’t have much contact with any volunteers except Маша, who was very nice. Overall it was a positive experience.

Content of the language course and teaching were excellent. Our teacher was very caring and patient. I had an amazing host family who took care of me very well and who I enjoyed being with so much. Cultural program was also excellent, I loved exploring Petrozavodsk and meeting Russian students.

I took part in two different groups. First group was very talented and level of their knowledge was higher than mine. In the second group with students from England I enjoyed it a lot, and I had individual lessons too. Natalia is a great teacher. She is very patient and can help students easily to understand next vocabulary or grammar. She can help to improve Russian language a lot. In “Enjoy Russian” book is a lot of exercises, which I liked. The cultural program was good. It is a good idea to study in Petrozavodsk and live in Russian family.

From my point of view the content of the program was wonderful! The teachers were well-prepared and I like my host family. As almost everybody I think that Kizhi Island was very nice. The guide explained everything in English, so it was very understandable. The volunteers were very helpful. So, the organization of the program was excellent, the general impression about the program was good too!

When I went Russia I only knew few words of greeting.. but in Two months I knew how to speak in Russian. If someone asks me how you study Russian language then I tell everyone I spend two month to learn Russian language in Russia.. And most of the people don’t believe, but It’s True and Everyone say – You speak great in Two months. I would like thanks all that help me to learn. specially my Teacher Olga she was very very help full and friendly with great experiences of teaching. I really like the way she teach me.
