FALL IN LOVE WITH RUSSIA IN SUMMER

Feel, enjoy and discover the wilds!

Even though winter holidays season is right around the corner it is never wrong time to recall good summer days. They say “While it is fine weather mend your sails!”  For Enjoy Russian school situated in one of the most beautiful Russian regions this season means meeting  many people from across the Globe, seeing happy faces between the Russian language classes and taking bright pictures of students and volunteers every single second.  But what is it like, summer beyond the school?

Why to choose Karelia for summer language vacation?

Here you discover the wilds. Our republic’s geographical position is more than favorable. Unique landscape and rich natural resources attract not only the foreigners but Russians from other regions as well. Karelia is known as a land of lakes and rivers. Just imagine – we have more than 60 000 lakes and about 27000 rivers! And water is the main place for legends to come out. There is even Karelian Loch Ness monster living in Ladoga lake (probably brother or sister to Scottish one). “Long neck and massive silver body”. The description from locals attracts not only tourists but also groups of scientists ready to come here and study the lake in depth. 5% of total area is covered by protected national parks. The largest in Europe lowland waterfall Kivach is the nearest to Petrozavodsk (capital city of Karelia). Famous White Night phenomenon is also worth taking into concideration. Have you heard that it never gets dark in Karelia during summer? You may walk outside and stay up all night without even noticing it’s time to sleep!

Here you feel safe and tranquil. It is never boring, annoying or stressful to spend summer here. Forests are nearby, you can relax, go picking berries and mushrooms, spend cozy evenings by the lake with Russian volunteers. Karelian summer is perfect for everyone because each day is different. It could be sunny, windy or rainy, but the main rule remains: no need to hurry!

Here you enjoy special summer cultural activities. Boat trips and hiking, horse riding and fishing, summer open-air festivals and street performances are held annually to make Karelian people and foreign guests love summertime. A trip to the famous Kizhi island is something you should definitely try. As well as joining to Russian summer holidays celebration like Russia’s day or Family day. By the way students usually live with the host family who always invite them to Russian summer house Datcha of suggest them another option.

Summer with Enjoy Russian school is something you should definitely try! Make sure you signed up for Summer immersion in 2018!

ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE: I TRULY LIKED EVERYTHING!

Judit from Switzerland oh her Russian language course and Russian way of life in Petrozavodsk

The best way to understand whether or not the certain Russian language course meets your expectations is to ask people. Here in Petrozavodsk Enjoy Russian language school students are always ready to share their results and progress in Russian as well as to assess their living in a Russian family and communication with volunteers.

Russian lessons, host family and Russian volunteers

“The content of the language course was excellent. Good study book with the most useful topics. The groups were small so it forced us to speak Russian. I’ve enjoyed our teachers with their games, discussions, etc. very much! I could always ask questions even if they didn’t have anything to do with the topics. The teacher always answered in a satisfying way.

I had a perfect accommodation and the best host mom ever! Super friendly, helpful and communicative, of course we’ll keep in touch! I had a nice and cozy bedroom, perfect learning area with desk and couch. I always felt welcomed.

The Russian volunteers were very nice and helpful. I’ve enjoyed the people very much. They showed us good restaurants and gave us interesting facts about the city.

Administration of the program was excellent. I could always come and ask if something would have been unclear.

Why would you recommend learning Russian at Enjoy Russian language school?

Judit has focused here on  4 main points:

• good learning progress
• motivating atmosphere
• nice city
• friendly and helpful people

And added afterwards: “I truly liked everything!”

Yes, never stop learning the language. Otherwise you’ll eventually find yourself at the point you started with.  And if you are looking for the right course pay attention to the city you are going to stay, teachers’ professionalism and experience and never underestimate the testimonials of students. We believe one of  Enjoy Russian school courses could be a perfect option for you.

IT WAS VERY PROFESSIONALLY DONE!

Enjoy Russian student shares the impressions on Individual Russian language course

Klaus from Germany had been learning Russian language in Petrozavodsk for two weeks. Daily classes, constant practice with the host family and personal motivation have brought him to a great result. On the last day of classes Klaus told the story of his life completely in Russian. Without any help, uncertainty or hesitation.

“My friend from Berlin has recommended me this school. I had an individual course which met all my requirements. I learned a lot and what is more important I understood how I should learn Russian language in the future. My teacher Katya did a great job. As a result my ambition and interest in learning Russian increased. She got far beyond my most optimistic expectations on this stay in Petrozavodsk.
Communication with the family was very pleasant too. I also got a chance to meet a student from the Netherlands who was living in this family. And we had very nice evenings.
As for organization of the course I got everything in time. The moderators are friendly, efficient and flexible. I would like to participate in the program again because the school is good, teachers are very professional and kind and I had a nice homestay.
My progress in the Russian language? I improved everything. Pronunciation and spelling. Now I actively speak Russian!”
