Student comments about "Standard Course" at Derzhavin Institute
David
"The students were very inclusive and friendly even though I was twice their age. It was a really fun experience and I plan to go back for B1. The teachers were all excellent and wanted everybody to succeed, just like State Department teachers I had."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Quality of teaching is very high and the teachers use different tools to help us progress in our language studies. The school is centrally located, which allows the student to reach it easily.

“I really liked the overall experience very much. The school itself was nice, the teachers were professionals and the study program was challenging enough. I learned a lot and I'm thinking about repeating the course again next year.”
Insider tip: “I realy liked the leisure activities organised by school not only during the week but, also on Saturdays. I went to Petergrof and Pushkin with school and in both cases, it was great experience.”

“Great organization and willingness to help with problems. Great lessons. The individual support in the lessons was also nice thanks to the small classes in autumn/winter.”
Insider tip: “Visit the Political Museum in St. Petersburg.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Since there were few students at the school in winter, I had one-to-one conversations and we dealt with topics that were important to me.
Other comments Didn't get an immigration card at the airport or lost it (please point out to everyone that this is an important piece of paper for departure). I didn't realize I needed one. The school secretary went to the police personally twice to get a new one. That was great!

“Both teachers worked goal-oriented. They picked up on my suggestions and learning needs and did well-prepared exercises the following day.”
Insider tip: “What I think should be included in the individual lessons are translations, in both directions: Russian - German (French, Spanish, English, ...) and, just as important, in the opposite direction.
I also consider it essential that the differences in the case government of verbs and prepositions between the learner's mother tongue and the Russian language are highlighted.
With regard to indirect speech and the conditionalis (the subjunctive), it is essential to point out the ambiguity and contextuality in Russian compared to the mother tongue. Here, too, translation exercises are important and helpful.”
Details of the review
Other comments It is a pity that there are no male teachers. In my experience, a balance of female and male teachers is important. Male teachers emphasize other aspects than female teachers and set other priorities in terms of the atmosphere.

Student comments about Homestay
Antje
"The host was very nice, but the room was very overheated (cannot be regulated), and at a busy intersection and the blinds were not tight. Therefore could hardly sleep. The school accommodated me easily in their apartments (room facing the courtyard). Everything there was clean, nice, quiet and at a pleasant temperature ... consistently 4 to 5 stars."
