Russian language course in Russia with Exlinguo

Exlinguo schools specialise in organising immersion Russian language course in Russia.
Located in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk, we offer all year round intensive Russian courses from 1 to 12 weeks duration.
Our language schools are accredited by the Russian state and are official TRKI / TORFL exam preparation and testing centers.
For over 10 years, we have helped thousands of students, adults and professionals at all language levels to develop their Russian communication skills.

Advance one level every 4-6 weeks

Our full-time immersion course is designed for people wishing to get quick results in a short period of time, with a focus on oral skills.

The course runs from Monday to Friday and combines :

• Small group classes of up to 4 students to make you practice your spoken Russian as much as possible
• Group tutoring sessions to help you build a solid grammar base
• Workshops and activities to develop your social Russian language skills and discover Russian culture
• Optional additional private lessons for more personalisation or to prepare for an university/TRKI exam

Personalised teaching. Accelerated learning

We only provide short-term intensive Russian language immersion programs. Our experience shows that it is the best and fastest way to learn Russian language.

Low student-teacher ratio ensures that you receive personal attention throughout the course.
This allows us to really tailor your language learning experience. Through personalised learning materials, we make you focus on the topics interesting to you and useful for your communication needs⁣⁣⁣.

You will improve your overall Russian skills effectively, while gaining fluency and confidence in speaking.

Get immersed in Russian culture

The course includes a rich programme of activities outside the classroom: guided walks in the city with teachers, cooking and craft workshops in the school, meetings with local guests, weekend trips outside the city...

The aim of our activities is to help you to:

Experience Russian culture and discover real life in Russia
• Explore the city of St Petersburg or Novosibirsk with the other students, guided by our teachers
• Practice your Russian communication skills in a real Russian environment
• Acquire good pronunciation and develop language automatisms

Live with a local host family

Stay with one of our carefully selected Russian host families for a full immersion experience.
By combining your course with homestay accommodation, you will consolidate your Russian skills through daily speaking practice in real-life situations.

All our families are located in safe neighborhoods, 20 minutes walk on average from the school, and like to talk, share, and exchange. They will introduce you to Russian traditions and way of life. Our host families know that you are in Russia to improve your Russian, and therefore that it is important for you to communicate in Russian, whatever your level may be.

Live like a local and get an authentic experience of Russian culture and everyday life in Russia.

In der Schule und der Gastfamilie habe ich mich super wohl gefühlt

Ich bin 19 Jahre alt, aus Herdecke (Deutschland) und war für 4 Wochen in St. Petersburg. In der Schule und der Gastfamilie habe ich mich super wohl gefühlt und alle waren immer hilfsbereit und freundlich. Der Unterricht war entspannt, unterhaltsam und trotzdem produktiv; ich habe mich um ein Level verbessert und ganz viel besser sprechen als vorher. Auch die Wochenendaktivitäten haben viel Spaß gemacht und ich habe einige tolle Menschen kennengelernt, mit denen ich auch Eiterhin in Kontakt bleiben werde. Ich freue mich schon darauf, immer Sommer wiederzukommen und kann Exlinguo nur weiter empfehlen :)

La cosa che più ho apprezzato è l'attenzione che le insegnanti rivolgono ad ogni singolo studente quotidianamente

Scuola altamente consigliata! Studiare in Exlingo è stata un'esperienza positiva che ha soddisfatto pienamente le mie aspettative. Grazie alla competenza, alla professionalità e alla pazienza degli insegnanti, ho migliorato il mio livello di conoscenza della lingua russa. La cosa che più ho apprezzato è l'attenzione che le insegnanti rivolgono ad ogni singolo studente quotidianamente. In questo modo il percorso di studio è finalizzato a consolidare i punti di forza ed esercitare costantemente i punti deboli. La scuola è situata in pieno centro sulla Nevsky Prospekt, a due passi da tutti i servizi (fermate metro, autobus, negozi, ristoranti, teatri, palestre etc..). La struttura è nuova e moderna, permette l'utilizzo di strumenti di ultima tecnologia ed offre spazi dedicati allo studio (biblioteca). Molto interessanti sono le attività extra che completano il percorso e che forniscono interessanti nozioni anche sulla cultura e letteratura russa.

Bin mit meinem Fortschritt sehr zufrieden

In dem Monat in Novosibirsk habe ich nicht nur wahnsinnig viel gelernt sondern mich auch jeden Tag darauf gefreut in den Kurs zu gehen. Das Format des Unterrichts war toll, die Administratorin hat mich wie Familie in Empfang genommen und die Lehrerinnen waren wirklich eine Freude. Fehler waren, und das hat sich auch wirklich so angefühlt, nichts Schlimmes sondern eine Gelegenheit zu Lernen. Ich habe wahnsinnig viel gelacht und gelernt - oft gleichzeitig! - und bin mit meinem Fortschritt sehr zufrieden.

The teachers were sensitive to my goals

This was my second time attending ExLinguo and I am truly hoping for a third opportunity! I was here a week longer than last year and just when I thought I would not be able to learn more, they found a way! The teachers were sensitive to my goals and worked with me in so many ways to help me reach them, even though they were a bit above where we thought possible! The program ensures that you enhance all skills and improve at a consistent rate. And in the end, they leave you with recommendations to keep improving on your own. I am so thankful for everyone at this program!

Extremely welcoming and professional in their approach

Exlinguo staff are extremely welcoming and professional in their approach, and they can also be flexible to the needs of different students. Having studied various continuing education topics for professional development at various schools, I have rarely been treated to such a hardworking and effective bunch of people.
