Learn Russian in Russia

Learning Russian at our school

Any time of year is a good time to learn Russian in Russia, where each season brings something unforgettable. In winter, you'll walk along snow-white streets blown straight out of the pages of great Russian literature. In spring, you can join in the celebrations of the thawing of the snow, whilst the long evenings in summer provide Russians with the perfect excuse to stay up all night. There has never been a better time to learn Russian, one of six official languages of the United Nations, and a means of communication across much of Eastern Europe. Learn Russian at one of our schools in St Petersburg or Moscow, and explore this beautiful country of extravagant palaces and fascinating people.

	It was a great experience which I would not want to have missed. I was surprised how good it actually was.
