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).

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."

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: 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.

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!
Course: Standard Group Course + Speaking Immersion Module - 2 weeks

Bernardo
76 years“Both teachers worked goal-oriented. They picked up on my suggestions and learning needs and did well-prepared exercises the following day.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss: 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.

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.
