Feedback
We learned a lot at Pushkin Institute. We were able not only to read the verses of Russian classical poets, but also to recite them with the correct emphasis on the intonational center.
The Institute makes our life brighter, richer and more interesting. The principle of the institute: to meet the needs of students. Dear teachers of Pushkin Institute, we are honored to have studied with you. Thank you for everything you have invested in us!

I took a 1-month Russian language course at the summer school of Pushkin Institute, which I really liked. The whole month was very pleasant and interesting for me to study. I improved my level of Russian (I learned a lot about grammar and vocabulary, which I didn’t know about before), we talked a lot about various useful and interesting topics of everyday life. I learned a lot about Russia, the Russian language and culture.
I am extremely pleased with the knowledge gained through the institute, the teachers were intelligent, they constantly stimulated me and they passed on their passion for the Russian language to me. In particular, I really enjoyed working carefully on vocabulary (especially with paronyms and prefixed verbs) and difficult rules of Russian grammar, which I had previously doubted.
At Pushkin Institute, my studies lasted only a month. I learned new topics and repeated others. It was very useful. I improved my language level. Most of all.
I liked the dynamic atmosphere. Our teacher Elena leads very interesting lessons, she gives good exercises. Now the lessons are over, but we decided to create a group to talk about different Russian topics, films and so on.
