The best way to learn Russian is to learn it while living in the culture: morning lessons, visits in the afternoons, going out on evenings and weekends... CREF offers language learning stays in Moscow: either living with a Russian host family, to dive into the local culture, or without hosting, for more freedom during your stay.
CREF offers language learning stays in Saint Petersburg, the Northern cultural capital of Russia: you can choose to stay in a host family or to simply follow the course and have your own accommodation.
To get deeper into the heart of genuine and authentic Russian culture, unknown by tourists, the ideal language learning stay takes place in Nizhny Novgorod : total immersion in Russian culture, whether you choose to be accommodated in a host family or the language course only.
