Thanks for two powerful weeks with amazing results. You managed to turn Grammar into practice. 70 individual hours allowed a quick and deep dive-in into Russian language. Perfectly committed, well experienced and prepared teachers acted as target oriented driving forces.

We have a list of carefully chosen Russian host families in St. Petersburg working for our school. All rooms are personally checked by staff and must meet strict criteria before being included in our database. Each participant is accommodated in a single room having all the necessary conditions for rest and study. Twin and Double Rooms are available on request. There are telephones with international access in all the apartments. The price for accommodation includes two meals - breakfast and dinner.

All our host families have apartments in the center and in the neigbourhood to a metro (underground) station. Accommodation with a Russian family is integral part of the language learning experience. This is the most suitable variant for those who are willing to understand spoken Russian perfectly as members of the families know usually a little of a foreign language.
