The teaching style at the Russian Language Academy BORN is incredibly effective. While the textbook and exercises are very helpful in learning Russian grammar, the engaging conversations I had with my teachers are really what helped me learn how to carry a conversation in the real world. This was one of the best experiences I have had learning a language. I have learned more Russian here in 3 months than I had in a year! Riga is such a unique city with beautiful architecture and a calming atmosphere, I hope to be back!

p.s. read an interview with Shallom about her experience learning Russian at RLA BORN.

I would highly recommend this school for anyone who aspires to improve their Russian language skills. Very friendly and hospitable staff, professional teachers and a great location in Riga city centre. I really enjoyed my time here and will certainly return!

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!
