Experience Language Immersion
When I have signed up for the online course, I was not sure how its going to work and how much I will be able to learn. The lesson structure is amazing, and I feel I am learning a lot when it comes to pronunciation and grammar due to lots of practice at the lesson itself. 1 to 1 works for me as the teacher concentrate on my progress and make sure I am answering questions and pronouncing words correctly. 100% recommendation from me.
I'm really enjoying my online course with Natalya, and am pleased with the progress I am making with my Russian. Natalya is a brilliant teacher -- all my lessons with her are engaging and fun. She is also very patient! The ExLinguo teaching material is excellent, as it is genuinely inter-active and encourages the development of speaking and listening skills, as well as reading. I also like the way Natalya sends me various supplementary material: audio files that she records for memorisation / practising pronunciation, 'chat' files from the lessons, short texts from Russian books for children etc. I highly recommend ExLinguo for both online and in-person courses. Спасибо большое!
I'm very happy with the online courses. Ekaterina has adapted the content to my needs and wishes. She is an excellent teacher: she always tries to understand my difficulties and to help me improve my knowledges.
I was blown away by my experience with ExLinguo. It was challenging, but not so challenging that I felt overwhelmed. It allowed me to solidify grammatical concepts I struggled with, and introduced new concepts using topics I was interested in. I cannot recommend enough
Very good course! Well structured lessons, interesting topics, lots of chance to practice, good balance between structured teaching and free conversation. Teacher was patient, friendly and gave me lots of room to speak.
I had heard how hard Russian was to learn as language, however, I found learning this beautiful language with Exlinguo to be thoroughly enjoyable, effective and impressively rewarding. I would have never expected to improve so quickly over such a short space of time. My teacher was fantastic and the lessons were all relaxed whilst still maintaining a good lesson pace. I would highly recommend Exlinguo.
I had an excellent ZOOM experience with ExLinguo, of course missing the nice class rooms and the class mates and being in Russia but as a learning experience I missed nothing. Well prepared lessons as always that keep you on your toes. I learned more then ever, maybe because there are no distractions and it was very focused with solid homework every day so in two weeks I really felt I made big progress. Looking forward to actually be in Exlinguo facilities again but until that time, this is a great learning experience.
I loved my online classes. I feel like I improved more than with 1 year of class at my university. My teacher was so nice, she made me talk a lot and I think that’s what made me improved. My biggest problem, with my learning of the Russian language, is that I don’t stick to a plan. I give up very easily. With these classes I had to study Russian at least twice a week. I recommend it to everybody and I can’t wait to come one day in Russia to this school!
I have highly enjoyed my online course. I had two 45-minute lessons per week and was always looking forward to my next one. They were informative, definitely helped improve my Russian, we covered many fascinating and timely topics, and my teacher was always extremely well prepared and provided me with interesting materials and links. During my lessons, we effectively used the chat function to improve my vocabulary. In short, I can highly recommend these online courses and, as much as I am looking forward to coming back to Exlinguo Novosibirsk or St. Petersburg, the online option is so good that I would like to continue using it on a regular basis. In fact, it's my birthday today and my husband just gave me a voucher for the next 20 lessons...!
I have been very happy with my classes! They have been very intensive, but also well structured and suited to my level.
I have very much enjoyed my online courses with Daria. She is a great teacher and really tries to adapt the lessons to my individual needs. I have had a little difficulty this summer with my schedule (due to COVID-19 and other work responsibilities), which has led me to have to cancel and reschedule a few times. However, this is not something that is due to Daria. I am looking forward to taking more lessons in the future and hoping to join class in St. Petersburg at some point.
I always thought that online lessons would be less efficient but I was mistaken - they are an excellent way of continuing the Exlinguo lessons in the comfort of my home. Liza is a fantastic teacher! I hope I will be able to take another course at Exlinguo in Petersburg or Novosibirsk in the future, maybe next year. I wish you all the best for these challenging times!
I really enjoyed my stay in Novosibirsk, all of the teachers at the school are friendly and helpful and my course helped me to revise and boost my Russian skills. Thanks Exlinguo :)
This is a truly first-class language course: a hidden gem really. I had no idea it would be as good as it was. There was a clear plan for every lesson and the lessons fitted together into a coherent plan having regard to ability. Progress was measured and demonstrable; and all in an atmosphere of diligence, competence and a genuine pleasure in teaching.
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!
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.
I didn’t think twice about taking the language course. This very casual attempt turned to my unforgettable beautiful memory in my life! Before, I didn’t know how to tackle Russian language because it has such complicated mysterious grammar, but the teachers taught me from the basics, which changed my attitude. I’m now back in my country and still I’m motivated to keep learning this adorable language. I also did enjoy my homestay; I enjoyed delicious Russian food and lovely conversation (unfortunately with a translation device, me having such limited vocabulary) with the host mother and her two cats. I also visited many tourist attractions including beautiful Peterhof palace. Using one weekend, I even flew to Moscow to say hello to my old friends. I had a very satisfactory, quality time surrounded by beautiful people in the beautiful city. Спасибо большое!
I was very happy with the course! With the excellent teachers, learning resources and interesting activities. The school's location is also ideal and is a calm learning environment. I will be back I hope!
I thoroughly enjoyed my two week course in Novosibirsk. The teaching was well paced and pitched at the appropriate level. Teachers themselves were knowledgeable and had high expectations of students' work. Materials were abundant and supported teaching effectively. The combination of group and individual lessons provided balance and afforded opportunities for both conversation and clarification of specific aspects of grammar. I made very positive progress in a short space of time and am now inspired to accelerate my language acquisition. I can recommend Exlinguo without hesitation.
Another good experience at Exlinguo, my fourth one. I think this says all there is to say. Keep on the good work. See you next year, hopefully.
I really loved everything about this course. The teachers paced it as fast as I wanted, and in group classes, we had the opportunity to practice speaking without getting bored. The materials were helpful for learning and the "study halls" twice a week allowed me to practice everything I wanted. The teachers were super attentive and genuinely happy to go on excursions and show us the city. The extra activities really cement relationships with your peers and the administrative staff are so organized and care about how your homestay is progressing. Overall, this is an excellent program and I can't wait to return!
I spent three weeks at Exlinguo in Novosibirsk and I can say that it has been an amazing experience. As far as I can tell, Siberia is a beautiful region of Russia (and also very extended, that means there are a million things to see) and the people are very friendly. The school is very well-organised and the teachers are highly qualificated to make you learn as much as possible, the lessons are varying in order to do different activities and never get bored. The city is just amazing, so lively, modern, young, it's the perfect place for a student, you can find everything in Novosibirsk. What's even better, is the fact that you immediately feel comfortable in the city just after a couple of days, and that helps a lot, especially if it's the first time in Russia. I would come back to Novosibirsk a million times, and I really recommend Exlinguo Novosibirsk not only because the school is extraordinary and so is the city, but because if you want a real full immersion into Russia and Russian culture, this is absolutely the right place.
I had one of the best language experiences at Exlinguo St Petersburg. In my four weeks, I started from the very basics to reach an A1 at the end of my stay. I would recommend Exlinguo for the quality of teaching: the small groups allow a significant amount of interaction with the teachers in Russian. Not to mention the professionalism of the staff, always available to answer to your specific needs with the language. In addition, the different activities were well-organised and structured, they indeed gave me a deep insight on the Russian culture!
The course I attended at Exlinguo really helped me to improve my level of Russian. The teachers were very competent and kind and the location of the centre was close to the main points of interest of the city. I would strongly recommend this school to others.
Exlinguo exceeded my expectations. In my opinion the quality of teaching staff is its stand out feature. all the teachers clearly enjoy and are talented at their jobs, and as a result the lessons they create are always engaging, structured and enjoyable. I found that the course content and groups were constantly adjusted to fit the needs of the pupils. Overall I felt I got value for money, improved hugely and most importantly I had a great time! I would definitely recommend it and will be going back next year.
