Lydia from Spain has spent the whole month in Petrozavodsk learning Russian in our school! 

"The location of the house was excellent, every place I need/ want to go was 15-20 minutes walking. My room was big and cozy, the area of the building was very quite.Comunication with the family was excellent, when I had trouble understanding something important in russian, they spoke a very good English.Breakfast was always home cooked ,delicious, and plenty of food".
