Most of EnjoyRussian students live with Russian host families. Russian homestay is the best way to improve your Russian, to practice speaking the language and to get a feel for life in Russia. 

Every year we have a common meeting with our host families to thank our hosts, to read out extracts from students’ testimonials, to remember pleasant moments of the previous year.

A week ago we had another meeting. Here are some extracts from the students’ testimonials about their homestay in Petrozavodsk in 2016:
«My host family was fantastic. They are now like my own family. We are definitely going to stay in touch» - Ellie, UK
«They made me feel at home right from the first day» - Kai Lin, Singapore
«I've appreciated the good balance between human involvement and respect of privacy of my host family. Tatiana and Liya were kind and hospitable» - Vito, Italy
«My homestay family was great. I was able to talk to talk with them over meals a lot. They made me feel welcome and it was great practice» - Christian, Canada
«I absolutely adored staying with my family. Everything was wonderful and I hope to keep in touch with them for a very long time» - James, Australia

We pick a family individually for each student according to different criteria so you shouldn’t worry about any possible misunderstandings. If you’re beginner in Russian, we’ll choose a family speaking a second language. If you have a special diet, the family will be prepared for this. If you travel with your family, there will be enough space for everyone. We work with our families for years, and they are really kind-hearted, experienced and tolerant people. So forget about any worries and just enjoy Russian with us!

Now it's time for our educational post!🎉 

You all know that there are many exceptions in Russian grammar 😱Especially when it comes to plurals. Let's remember the exceptions of plurals of masculine nouns that have an -a ending instead of -ы or -и✍🏻 

Remember ⚠that the stress in these exceptions always falls on the last letter -a!📌

These are not all of the exceptions! Can you remember more?👂

        "The teachers could always take time to answer our questions and help us with specific stuff if we asked. I really enjoyed the discussion and games club, a fun way to practice language. 
         I felt completely at home, my host and I got on very well. She was very helpful and always had a solution to any of my problems.
         Petrozavodsk is a good place to be able to get involved with lots of activities. 
         I’ve improved my listening skills and I want to continue improving my Russian! "

Kassia, we're already missing your cheerful smile!

Some of our foreign students say that Russian women👠 are unbelievable. There is literally nothing that they cannot do! A Russian 19th century poet Nekrasov said: “A Russian woman can stop a galloping horse and enter the burning house.” 💪(Русская женщина коня на скаку остановит и в горящую избу войдёт).

So no wonder why the woman that gave birth to the greatest officially recorded 📝number of children was from Russia. She was a wife of Feodor Vassilyev (b. 1707–c.1782), a peasant from Shuya. She gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets. 😱

What do you know about Russian women? 👀👂Do you know any other interesting stories or facts about women in Russia?💬

If you want to know more about Russian people, why don't you take a Russian language course in Petrozavodsk and get to know Russia yourself? http://enjoyrussian.com/3686_programs/3688_choose_your_program/
