I went on an 8-week program with EESA in Kharkiv, Ukraine. I had a really great experience and would recommend this program to everyone. I had taken a year of Russian at my university prior to that program, but how much I learnt in those 8 weeks was probably

worth more than my whole year of Russian classes in the U.S. I loved my professor Tatiana, she was very patient with us and was great at explaining and helping us get further. Getting immersed in the language-speaking environment was such a great benefit. An advice I would give to any future students is to not be afraid and go out there and try to use your Russian. My special thank goes to the on-site staff from EESA. They were very nice and very attentive to all my needs. They made sure I was adjusting well, introduced me to a lot of new people in the beginning and provided great support overall. I genuinely recommend this program for improving your Russian, making new friends, getting a different perspective on many things and simply for having an exciting new experience. I already plan on visiting again!

I wanted to take a few weeks of Russian classes when I went to visit Ukraine in May of 2015. I asked the program a little over a week before my trip if they could setup a teacher for me in Kharkiv. EESA immediately found a professor for me and I was able

to customize the number of classes of I wanted to take. I recommend EESA's short term intensive language program because you provided a quality experience for low cost in a timely manner. Before the program, my Russian was very shallow but now I can have basic conversations. My reading and writing Russian have also drastically improved. My professor was excellent. She was very kind and patient, but also gave me comprehensive Russian lessons that helped me greatly improve my Russian language ability. Learning in Ukraine was a great experience because I got to be exposed to Russian everyday outside of the classroom. My favorite part of the program was the quickness of your program finding me a great professor that really helped me learn so much. I have no complaints about the program. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to return to Ukraine.
