REVIEWS
Мне нравится мое время в Минске на этом прекрасном курсе русского языка. Уроки были практичными и хорошо подготовленными. Мы изучали и грамматику и как говорить. Экскурсии были хорошим дополнением. Преподаватели дружелюбны и компетентны. Они хорошо меня сопровождали на уроках и на улицах Минска.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Minsk on the well-designed Russian course. The content in broken down into manageable and practical lessons and the balance between grammar exercises and speaking practice was excellent. The excursions have been selected meaningfully to complement and build on the classroom content. I certainly felt very well «looked after» by the competent and friendly teachers – be it during the lessons or while exploring the streets of Minsk together.
