Max from the US (studied in Tallinn in July 2017)

My Multilingua’s teacher was very knowledgeable not only when it comes to the Russian language, but also Estonian and Russian history, traditions and culture in general. I never visited a Russian-speaking country other than Russia so my motivation was to learn more about Russian-speaking population in Estonia and how they adapt to the life in Estonia. The Russian cultural program was great. All the pre-arranged excursions contributed to my immersion into Russian language and Russian/Estonian culture. On top of that, I visited Russian museum in Tallinn. It had two excursions in Russian: one about Kardiorg and Peter the Great and the other about writing and printing in Russia and Estonia. I would definitely recommend Tallinn as a language vacation destination to anybody who is interested in studying/ improving the Russian language. I stayed in a hotel during the Russian language immersion, but I think it’d have been a great language and cultural experience to stay at my Russian teacher’s home and within a real Russian family. I’d definitely consider doing it next time!
