The summer school was very good, and it's an unforgettable travel for me in the 14 days. While I have some suggestions that we can not only stay in the St. Petersburg, but also travel to the Moscow. And other part of the trip was very brilliant!

The course quality is extremely high. I am very grateful to the professional, enthusiastic and patient teacher who taught me Russian. I had never learned Russian before, but after 10 days of study, I have been able to spell Russian words and have simple Russian conversations. The teachers are very efficient in teaching. In addition, the evening course introduced the local humanities, art and nature, and led me to learn the history and culture of Russia and St. Petersburg, from which I gained a lot.
