The school provided me with an excellent Russian learning program and an unforgettable experience in Riga. My gap in the Russian language improved immensely with the help of the staff and teachers. All teachers sincerely care about their students’ progress and do their best to accommodate your abilities. I was extremely impressed with the organization of the school and the preparation of faculty.

I would like to highlight the quality of the content and the fact that these classes provide you with a great opportunity to speak Russian. The RLA Durbe’s approach to teaching is both peculiar and meaningful. All the teachers resort to the communicative method which is the best way to obtain an active knowledge of the language. I was able to compare the teaching here at the RLA Durbe with the great number of language classes. I attended in my life. Certainly I definitely recommend it!

The teachers at RLA Durbe are extremely experienced, lessons are well thought out. The school is great, the staff are helpful & knowledgeable. The Shared Flat was great as well – everything worked, the Internet was fast and TV had Russian programs. Course itself was amazing & I can’t wait to come back sometime in 2019.

I really like the type of teaching here in Durbe since it is very interactive, students and teachers have an ongoing dialogue. I chose Riga because I heard that it is a beautiful city and because it is a much safer environment than Russia. My impression of the city is wonderful: I really love its architecture, the old buildings, the history, and every part is different and you get different feelings in each part of the town.

I took Standard Russian course and it was well structured and I learned a lot! I particularly enjoyed staying with my Russian host family!
