The four week program at Novgorod State University offers a great opportunity for intensive language study and first-hand experience of Russian life. Course work includes phonetics, grammar, conversation, writing and reading about Russian life and culture. All the classes are taught by native specialists in Russian as a foreign language.
Students live in home stays, with Russian families, and have meals with their host families.
Hotel stays may be arranged for anyone not wanting the home stay arrangement. Classes in morning and early afternoon. Tours and excursions in Novgorod three afternoons per week. At the end of the XVth century the new powerful walls and towers that we can see now were built. Students will have tours to Red Square, the Kremlin, Tretiakovsky Gallery, and have a general tour of the city by bus with brief stops at different sites of interest.
