- Work Study programme Russia11/05/12
The work study programme in Moscow was fantastic. I had studied Russian for four years at university, I thought I knew how to speak. But as soon as I arrived in Moscow I realised that I basically knew nothing. The teaching programmes here were amazing!
I studied indvidually, with a highly qualified Russian teacher. The rate in which I saw my Russian improve was incredible. Moreover, I got to balance out the study while teaching English as a second language. That meants when I wasn't learning Russian I was spending time with them. The price however, is a little more than some can afford. But it became very obvious that this is the price you will have to pay anywhere! For as much as I got out of it, I would definately pay it again! All my visa issues and accommodation were all taken care off. They organised accommodation close to the school for me, and I was living with other work study students. The staff were wonderful and it is a very professional company (unlike many in Russia)
