Steven from the US (studied in Multilingua in December 2018)

I studied in Multilingua during 2 weeks taking intensive private Russian lessons which covered the following subjects: politics, foreign policy, economics, defence, military issues, environmental science, technology, health, computers, societal, cultural issues, crime, and terrorism.

I had studied Russian for years and was proficient but needed practice. The lessons were enjoyable, not stressful but I learned a lot. I am glad I could get a tailored course suitable for my level and interests. My teacher Ksenia is an excellent instructor who had clearly spent a lot of time and effort designing my class. I appreciated her scheduling flexibility too. I liked the mix of reading, listening and role play exercises. We also used internet videos and online translation tools. It was good to receive hard copy handouts for future reference, too. 

In Tallinn Russian language is widespread. Many store employees, vendors speak it, and Russian signs, displays and TV are easy to find. It is an excellent place for an immersion. Russian is still prevalent and the presence of Russian media helps too. I watched Russian TV regularly and looked through Russian books. Dual language information displays in museums are very helpful too.
