Assuming i would be able to have a year off after my graduation ,what would be the best way to take
advantage of it ? Pure self study ,finding natives around me to talk to after some months of intense L/R , then attend an advanced language course abroad in the last 2 months ? Any other suggestions ? My degree has nothing to do with languages so i can not go on to learn russian in an accademic institution . My target would be to reach B2/C1. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

With one year off (and the necessary resources) I would go to a language school in Russia - preferably
Novosibirsk or somewhere with as few foreigners as possible. I am longing to do something similar, only I would only be able to go for a month or two, but I would definitely be looking at a private language school in Russia. Since I would have to go in November/December, I am not altogether sure that I would have the guts to go to Siberia though :-) Perhaps more Odessa in Ukraine? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I only have personal experience with NovaMova in Kyiv which is a great school, and which is fairly affordable.
They have a branch in Odessa, but I am not quite sure that they operate in the winter. I looked at the prices at a school in Irkutsk which was very pricy, so I guess it would make sense to look around. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You can also see if you can find anything in Belarus.

No disrespect to Belarus, but if I am to go through all the hassle of a visa, I would personally rather take
Russia to avoid any interference from the local language. I love Ukraine, but the interference from Ukrainian drives me crazy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You'll come across muuuuch less Belarusian in Belarus than Ukrainian in Ukraine. And it will cost far less money.

Do you really think that they offer the same quality for far less money ? 1 person has voted this message useful |
