Volunteers from Great Britain, Italy and Denmark teach children not only English

Why do we invite Enjoy Russian students to volunteer in the language camps? Because this is a two-way collaboration: guys learn the language (Russian) and teach the language (English) which turns out to be very efficient. This is the opportunity to come to a better understanding of how to speak a foreign language.

We usually ask the participants of the International Camp "What did the volunteer teach you?"
That's what they say:

- I learned so much about London and the way of life in England! And I also learned a lot of useful phrases
- The volunteer taught me to write in Chinese.
- Julia always cheered us, she is so funny!
- The volunteer helped me to learn about the countries, told about the Leaning Tower of Pisa
- The volunteer taught me how to work in a group, and also told me that Hollywood is in Los Angeles!
-  These two weeks were undoubtedly the most stunning and exciting in my whole life!

Volunteers from all over the world come to Petrozavodsk to teach kids and teenagers

Meet our new volunteer from Great Britain. Her name is Catherine and she arrived to Petrozavodsk (the capital of Karelia. Enjoy Russian School is situated here) 2 weeks ago and already improved her Russian with our teachers. Now it is time for her to teach kids! 

International Summer Camp in Karelia is a great opportunity for foreign students to practice Russian and get involved into some cool activities. Some show the games, create performances, others arrange dance battles and sport competitions for the enthusiastic kids.

Nowadays Frederik from Denmark and Giulia from Italy volunteer at the Camp as well.

WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU TO RUSSIA

If you happen to travel to Petrozavodsk (and want to start learning Russian with Enjoy Russian language school) then you should know what to expect from the weather. The most significant thing is that the weather in Karelia is as unpredictable as in Iceland.

In winter it's very snowy and the temperature might be up to 25 below zero. So you should definitely take with you earmuffs or beanie, scarf, waterproof winter jacket and boots. It's also quite slippery everywhere you go even though we put sand all around the road.

If you are about to take a summer trip, then pack some faves you wear in chilly weather as well - jeans, cardigans, sweater or even a scarf. But be ready to face unbelievable heat (especially if you take a course in July), so don't forget a swimsuit, shorts, sunscreen, sunglasses etc.

RUSSIAN GRAMMAR IN AN EASY WAY

Enjoy Russian school knows how to learn Russian fast! The crack of a matter is in choosing the right strategy to remember some difficult topics. Check out the examples concerning Russian conjunctions ТАК and ТОГДА and try to practice right away!

Russian ТАК

1. Это правда:
– Двор сеял у самой реки, и по веснам, когда спадала полая вода, он был усеян щепой и ракушками, а иногда и другими, куда более интересными вещами. Так, однажды мы нашли туго набитую письмами сумку, а потом вода принесла и осторожно положила на берег я самого почтальона.– Вы видели его вчера в 17:00, так? – Да. Это так.

2. Именно таким образом, не как-нибудь иначе. В таком виде, состоянии, как есть:
– Вы видели его вчера в 17:00, так? – Да. Это так.

3. Очень, настолько:
– Это было так интересно, что старухи, ходившие к Сковородникову играть в “козла”, бросали карты и присоединялись к нам.
– Страшно было только по вечерам: так тихо, что слышен, кажется, даже мягкий стук падающего снега, и в такой тишине вдруг начинал выть в трубе ветер.
