Homestay accommodation is mostly chosen to improve the language through constant communication in Russian, thus the hosts do not speak other languages apart from Russian. But, if requested, the school can place the student in a family with speakers of English, German, French or other languages.
Host families are suitable for those students who:
- seek cultural enrichment
- want to make connections with locals
- love to explore the way Russians live
- want to have as much speaking practice as possible
Families could be of different types: parents with young children, elderly people, single ladies, young couples.
Student rooms are usually furnished with a bed (or a sofa-bed), a desk, a wardrobe or a set of drawers.
There might be other students living with the same host family either from the Institute or from other language schools (especially during the high season).
