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!

“I really enjoyed my 4-week stay in Riga at Russian Language Academy BORN and my teachers. The teachers were amazing in helping me relearn what I had forgotten and did a wonderful job at explaining everything. I liked discussions, flexibility, and open dialogue in Russian helped me to remember forgotten words, and the books were always interesting and engaging. The teacher did a great job at explaining the meaning of words in Russian without having to use English. I really liked the fact that I could be flexible with switching levels.”

I highly recommend the Russian Language Academy BORN. I started my Russian from scratch this summer, and my instructors were professional, effective, and encouraging. This was my first time in Riga, and the team at Russian Language Academy BORN was extremely communicative and accommodating.

I also highly recommend doing a homestay… Read more about Natasha’s experience here.

„I liked the way teachers thought. We worked on things that improved my overall skills in Russian. Talking every day in class Russian only, helped me to become a better listener and speaker. We practiced grammar every day + homework helped to reinforce what we learned in class.

Riga is a beautiful city and has been great exploring the town and using what I learned in class in everyday life. This has been a great experience!”

I spent two weeks in Riga on a Russian language course. It was an unforgettable time. If you have the opportunity, visit beautiful Latvia and its capital. It’s so charming there! My teacher was organized and well-prepared and she always provided extra help when needed. I can’t wait for my next visit to the school and to Riga.

Spędziłem w Rydze na kursie języka rosyjskiego dwa tygodnie. To był niezapomniany czas. Jeśli macie taką możliwość, zwiedzajcie piękną Łotwę i jej stolicę. Jest tam tak urokliwie. Ja nie mogę się doczekać kolejnej wizyty w szkole i w Rydze.
