Teachers speak Russian all the time, so it’s good real practice. To my mind preparation of course and study materials are very good and very good grammar related book (Testi). We open very interesting subjects according to my wishes.

I chose Liden & Denz after researching a number of Russian-language immersion programs. From my first day, it was obvious to me that I made a great choice. The administrative staff is exceptional. Every morning I am greeted by smiling faces. They are well-organized and very competent. They are also friendly, kind and supportive and always willing to help with whatever I need. The teachers are terrific. The student population is very diverse (nationalities, age, reasons for studying) and they manage to accommodate the different learning styles and needs. I love my teacher. Her class is both structured and fun. I am excited by the progress I am making thanks to her engaging lessons and patient guidance. Another huge plus for me is the cultural and social activities that the school organizes. These programs are great, not just for the insight into the history and culture, but also because they provide an easy way to get to know the other students. Lastly, as a serious coffee drinker and laptop user, the cafeteria with its free wifi is just one more aspect of the school that I appreciate. I am very happy with my experience here. The Liden & Denz program has exceeded my expectations.

Это просто отлично! Здесь мне удалось учиться у опытных и добросердечных преподавателей. Когда я приехал сюда 11 месяцев назад, совсем не знал русского языка. Но они терпеливо провели меня к цели владеть русским языком. К тому же, дружеские секретари всегда помогали мне либо по поводу русского языка, либо по поводу жизни в Санкт-Петербурге. Без их помощи, моя жизнь была бы гораздо труднее.
Вот чего только не хватает мне? Да мне не хватает времени только. Если у меня появится возможность заниматься языком в России. Я бесспорно люблю именно эту школу. Только желаю, чтобы школа опять разрешила ленивому студенту, как я, поступить!

St.-Petersburg belongs to the few cities someone has to have visited during his lifetime. But for the whole experience of the culture and people you ought to be able to communicate with the natives and know where the special places besides the tourists owes are.
Liden &Denz supports that thought by olding tours through the city of museums, vodka parties where you get to know Russian students who want to learn foreign languages or many other activities (e.g. pottery courses) 1st the same the school knows how to prepare the students for common Russian conversations and to explain how to get along with certain Russian characteristics.
In conclusion the 6 weeks passed by far to quickly and Liden & Denz was the right choice.

This year I have to learn Russian. After having finished 12 years of school I had planned a gap year in which I would travel to Russia to learn the language. Finding a proper organization was difficult and very time consuming. After having failed to find the times, time was running out. Consequently I was very relieved when encountering Liden &Denz website and starting my course just one week later.
The school proved to posses all characteristics to create a welcoming, cozy yet competitive environment. From the first day, the relationship between teachers and students was one of understanding and mutual learning. Located in the center oh the city and providing many excursions and other activities, the school integrates with language in a easy manner. Overall a grand experience.

Une ambience studieuse et decontractee, c`est l`impression generale que me semble le mieux description de l`ecole.
Les professeur sont conpetants, les secretaries pretes a donner on coup de main. Nous pouvons manger sur place dans la sale et surfer gratuitement sur Internet.
Comme etudiant je me sens encadre et suivi. Les cours principaux en groupe reste sans doute les plus propices a l`apprentisssage du Russe avec une ambiance de classe agreeable permettant de nombreuses rencontres.
