Confident with my Russian

With each day, as I grew more confident with my Russian, so too grew my love for the city of Riga. Apart from all the Russian I learned at BORN, if I could say one thing about my time there, it would be the absolute Winter Wonderland that Riga is in the winter. For anyone considering studying Russian at BORN, I wholeheartedly recommend it—not just for their excellent instruction, but for the chance to experience Riga, an undiscovered gem that will capture your heart!

Enjoyed my private Russian language lessons

I was very satisfied with the flexibility of my teachers. They adapted their teaching to my personal needs and goals and were encouraging every step of the way. During my Russian language private lessons, I enjoyed the combination of grammar lessons and more conversation-based teaching. Even after just a few days, I felt that I could speak more freely and with fewer mistakes.

Both the school staff and teachers were very welcoming and helpful. I was also extremely satisfied with my Russian host family. Both the Russian language lessons and living with the host family were wonderful experiences!

Unbelievable progress!

I definitely recommend studying at Russian Language Academy BORN as you will not believe the amount of progress you will make, even if you are only studying there for a short amount of time. My teachers were encouraging and supportive for the whole duration of my 12 weeks stay. I feel that they taught me in a way which allowed me to access the language like I never had before.
