When I was initially looking for schools to study at, I found schools in other European countries, but this school seemed the best. It turned out it is the best!  I started with virtually zero knowledge of Russian, as a beginner, literally just a few phrases. So, I was very nervous about coming to RLA BORN, but I immediately felt welcomed.  It was very clear to me that this is not a competitive environment. Everyone here is very kind and extremely helpful. All the teachers, students, and the administration of this school want every student to succeed, and they help a lot with this!

If you are looking for Russian language competent teacher, then this school in Riga is an ideal option. Also I enjoyed very friendly atmosphere. The intensive courses are the best parts of this Russian language school. The teachers are very competent and highly qualified. I would definitely recommend Russian Language Academy BORN! Afterwards if we talk about Riga, I absolutely loved the ballet—it’s truly wonderful! Plus, there are so many fantastic festivals and events to enjoy!

I absolutely recommend Russian Language Academy BORN, because it’s just a great school! With all the experience you get you have a great assessment, you have an approachable administration, really almost feels like family here. Riga is a very beautiful city, it’s still Russian speaking, but offers the safe environment in the EU.
The coolest part for me was teaching, because the teachers were very motivated. It’s great that in class they only speak Russian, which really fosters your learning progress.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Russian Language Academy BORN!  During my three week stay I learned more than I had previously learned during many months of self-study. My Russian language teacher has decades of professional experience and thus very quickly identified my strengths and weaknesses. She tailored the lessons accordingly and we worked intensely on improving my weak spots.
The administrative staff is always friendly and ahead of things.
Although my main focus was on learning the Russian language, I also enjoyed the beautiful architecture and rich culture of Riga.
It was my second stay in the school and many more will follow!

I had wonderful 4 weeks in Riga! I’m extremely thankful to the school, the teachers and my Russian host mother for how they looked after me, prepared Russian language lessons based on my interests. They all pushed me me forward on my journey with русский язык. Look forward to coming back for more Russian language practice!

I took my Russian language class at level A1 and I learned a lot! We almost exclusively spoke in Russian and that really speed up the learning progress. I understand spoken Russian much better now and also feel more confident at speaking Russian myself.

In two weeks I spent in Riga we went over all the basics of Russian grammar. My teacher Viktoria is excellent at explaining even difficult grammatical topics. She is patient and wont’ stop to explain until you understand everything. Thank you so much!
