Radim from Czech Republic (studied in Multilingua from April to August 2019)
Before my studying in Tallinn I had been studying the Russian language for 4 years in high school with a Czech teacher. I think it is much more useful to be taught by a native speaker. Native speaker knows language and he/she can explain various details or cultural specifics which are connected with particular language, country or nation.
My main motivation to learn Russian is the improvement of skills, because I daily use Russian language in my work.
I chose Tallinn as a destination to learn Russian because I had already been in Tallinn and I liked the city and I knew that I could practice the Russian language in Tallinn in everyday life. I also wanted to pass the language course in some country which is member of EU because of administrative simplicity.
I visited some of the Russian restaurants in Tallinn to try products of traditional Russian cuisine. We also discussed many of the Russian cultural specifics with my teacher Lukasz who is the best teacher I could ever have. Even though Russian is not an official language in Estonia, I could practice this language every day in school, restaurants, shops, museums etc. Of course I will recommend Tallinn as a language vacation destination to my friends or colleagues.
