How we work:

  • To plan a program with “Learn Russian in the EU”, a customer requests the language proficiency level, program dates, program content, university credit transfer, lodging and excursion options, as well as additional services.
  • We put together all components and propose a draft program with its budget.
  • Then we talk to the customer, adjust and refine the program until the customer approves it.

Russian immersion

Daugavpils, the second largest city in Latvia, is a unique place – a Russian-language enclave, where everyone speaks standard modern Russian as their native language and where Russian is the language of daily communication.

Students will experience full linguistic immersion and undergo an amazing cultural experience in a city which was once part of both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union and which has a remarkable historical legacy tied to Russia and Russian-European relations.
