J'ai participé à une semaine de cours à Novossibirsk avec Exlinguo (puis ensuite 2 semaines de voyages à vélo à travers les montagnes de l'Altai). J'ai été impressionné par une organisation vraiment de très haut niveau tout en étant super aimables. Cours très personnalisés et très efficaces. Famille très très bien choisi (à présent ce sont des amis). Exlinguo a su s'adapter à mes nombreuses contraintes (1 semaine de cours seulement, aide pour mon voyage à vélo, ...) sans perdre le sourire et avec une efficacité impressionnante. Bravo à tous !
Ik ben een week in Novosibirsk geweest. Dat was maar kort maar toch nuttig, ik heb veel Russisch kunnen spreken en wat ik eerder geleerd heb in praktijk kunnen brengen. De leraressen waren zeer aardig en deden echt hun best mij in deze week zoveel mogelijk tegemoet te komen. Ik kom graag nog een keer, maar dan toch wel voor een langere periode om ook nieuwe dingen te kunnen leren.
Dette var min tredje gang på Exlinguo i Novosibirsk. Hvis du vil lære russisk mer effektivt enn ved selvstudie eller kvelds skole, kan det anbefales på det varmeste. Lærerne er veldig kvalifiserte og engasjerte. Selv vanskelig grammatikk klarer de å gjøre forståelig ved hjelp av ulike virkemidler som for eksempel audio, spill, artikler, praktiske eksempler osv. De tilpasser materialet etter våre interesser og behov. Byen Novosibirsk er veldig hyggelig og lett å finne frem. Kulturlivet og kafelivet er kjempebra og det er umulig å kjede seg der : )Jeg har vært overalt i byen uten problemer av noe slag.
My month at ExLinguo Novosibirsk exceeded my expectations in every respect. Having lived among expats in Moscow for two years, I was looking for an immersive environment that would push my Russian to the next level. In Novosibirsk it was possible to escape English for a month, in addition to discovering a new side to Russian culture. My teachers were among the best I've had of any subject anywhere - their delivery, energy and patience meant that the intensity of the course was quite comfortable. I felt myself making measurable progress each week, which was so satisfying. I was amazed that this level of progress was sustainable. The group sessions were dynamic and always fun, and the learning materials have provided me with a great reference tool. My personal highlight was staying with my host family, who propelled me over numerous delicious breakfasts, dinners and weekend trips to achieving my goal of spontaneous conversation. A 10/10 experience, thank you ExLinguo!
Twee weken russisch leren in Novosibirsk bij exlinguo was een erg leuke ervaring. Het is een kleine school met veel persoonlijke aandacht voor de studenten. Naast russische lessen zijn er ook culturele programma's en evt suggesties voor bv concerten 's avonds ( klassiek/opera of modern). Verblijf in een gastgezin maakt het allemaal nog leuker, maar wel erg intensief. Twee weken was daarmee eigenlijk veel te kort. Ik ga graag nog een keer terug.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend exlinguo for learning Russian. The approach is intense and it really works. Before the course, my speaking and comprehension were at "survival" level but after just 3 weeks I was able to have conversations with my host family and Russian friends. The facility and staff are outstanding - and exceeded my expectations - any time there was a problem or a request, the girls were straight away ready to work through everything. If anyone reading this is wondering about the value for money or quality then my advise is don't hesitate - sign up. My only question I had when I finished was when can I return for another course.
I spent 5 fantastic weeks at Exlinguo, 2 in Saint Petersburg and 3 in Novosibirsk. After 3 years of individual lessons out of Russia this experience proved to be ground breaking for my purposes. All the teachers have been very committed to supporting my advancements and they helped me a great deal to get closer to Russian culture, philosophy and ideas. All the materials provided to me were not randomly chosen but specifically tailored to my interests, fruit of an incredible back-office work. The really astonishing element of my time at Exlinguo was the feeling of being completely integrated in a community made up of other students, host families and teachers. All the extra-curricular activities, the lunch and dinner chats, the cultural happenings in the cities....everything went beyond my most optimistic expectations and I am looking forward to repeat this journey once again! Thanks to everybody from my heart!
Lærerne var venlige, engagerede, ualmindeligt dygtige og pædagogiske
Jeg har prøvet flere sprogkurser på forskellige sprog og i forskellige lande, herunder russisk kursus i Moskva. Russiskkurset hos Exlinguo i Novosibirsk er klart det bedste, jeg har prøvet. Pakken af et formidabelt kursusprogram, gode lærerer og et virkelig velfungerende ophold hos en enormt venlig værtsfamilie fungerede fremragende. Jeg havde fået kurset anbefalet af en kollega, og mine forventninger var på forhånd høje. Alligevel blev jeg gentagne gange overrasket over, hvor høj kvaliteten af sprogkurset var. Lærerne var venlige, engagerede, ualmindeligt dygtige og pædagogiske. Skolen havde fremragende faciliteter og undervisningsudstyr. Det udleverede - skræddersyede - undervisningsmateriale var gennemført professionelt. Øvelsesopgaverne blev lynhurtigt rettet, og der blev givet individuel og nyttig feed-back. De sociale begivenheder i forlængelse af kurset var interessante og sjove. Meget imponerende - og fantastisk værdi for pengene. Hvis jeg får mulighed for yderligere russiskkurser vil jeg til enhver tid komme tilbage. Og jeg vil anbefale enhver at vælge dette kursus. Husk at bo hos værtsfamilie - det er både lærerigt og enormt hyggeligt!
Es war bereits mein dritter Sprachkurs mit Exlinguo und auch dieses Mal wurden meine Erwartungen wieder übertroffen. Die Lehrer sind engagiert und top vorbereitet, die Themen spannend und auch die Abendaktivitäten sind immer sehr interessant. Wenn jemand Russisch in Russland lernen will, kann ich Exlinguo nur weiterempfehlen.
A great immersion experience with really good teachers
I would highly recommend the ExLinguo Russian training at the Novosibirsk centre. I was also surprised how much I enjoyed the cold climate and walking to the school each morning through the snow lined streets. It was a great immersion experience with really good teachers and a great fellow learners! I can't wait to get back and carry on where I left off.
Im Januar war ich nun schon zum dritten mal bei Exlinguo in Nowosibirsk. In insgesamt 7 Wochen konnte ich mein Russisch von Niveau A1/A2 auf B1- verbessern. Alle Lehrer sind sehr freundlich und engagiert, der Unterrichtsstoff ist aktuell und speziell auf die Teilnehmer zugeschnitten. Fast täglich finden ausserdem Präsentationen statt, bei denen man mehr über Land und Leute erfahren kann. Ich kann Exlinguo nur weiterempfehlen !
J'ai passé un excellent séjour à Novossibirsk grâce à ExLinguo. Les cours sont intensifs, très qualitatifs. Les professeurs sont très compétentes et très sympathiques. Les locaux sont très accueillants et agréables. La Sibérie est une région fascinante où les gens méritent vraiment d'être découverts. Ce sont de "vrais Russes", sans doute moins "internationaux" que les Moscovites ou les Petersbourgeois, mais d'autant plus authentiques et sincères.
Intensiv og krevende undervisning som tar en effektivt gjennom mye pensum på kort tid. Hyggelig atmosfære i lokalet og fine ekstra aktiviteter organisert på ettermiddagen. Alt i alt et veldig bra kurs med svært dyktige lærere som gir mye av seg selv.
I spent eight weeks at Exlinguo in Novosibirsk, and truly believe that there is no way that I would have improved as quickly in any other setting. Before the course I could barely string two sentences together without making grammatical mistakes, and always dreaded having to speak. Now, I cannot wait to practice my spoken Russian more and hone it further! The teachers at the school are real experts in their field, and their tailored lessons helped me to fill the many gaps I had in my grammatical knowledge. Although Russian grammar is hard, by the mid point of the course it was like a switch had been flicked in my brain, and by the end it felt as if every piece of the jigsaw puzzle was falling into place! Exlinguo has given me lasting positive memories of Russia and of Siberia in particular, and I really hope that I will be able to return in the future.
Dette var min andre tre ukers periode hos Exlinguo, Novosibirsk. Som sist var oppholdet supert og jeg kan virkelig anbefale skolen til de som vil lære Russisk. Lærerne er høyt utdannet og veldig kvalifiserte. De er superentusiastiske og bruker ulike virkemidler på å lære oss grammatikk etc på en engasjerende måte. Undervisningen tilpasses studentenes interesser. I tillegg er det aktiviterer på kvelden som feks film, musikk, lage russisk mat osv. Jeg har lært mye mer enn jeg trodde på forhånd og er ganske så komfortabel med å prate russisk nå. Novosibirsk er en veldig hyggelig og trygg by, ikke minst er de som bor der hyggelige, litt "sjenerte" og veldig hjelpsomme. Kafelivet og utelivet generelt er helt topp. Konserter, Opera osv likeså. Umulig å kjede seg i byen :). For norske er klimaet i Novosibirsk omtrent som hjemme. Når jeg har vært der i april/september har det vært litt varmere enn hjemme.
L'esperienza ad Exlinguo è stata unica! L'immersione qui è totale e questo mi ha permesso di avere un grande miglioramento, che mi ha portato ad essere tranquillamente in grado di sostenere la certificazione TRKI alla fine del soggiorno. In questo mi ha aiutata anche il fatto di soggiornare in famiglia: un valido aiuto per continuare a praticare russo anche dopo la fine delle lezioni. Nonostante le classi siano particolarmente piccole (2-3 persone nel mio caso), consiglio vivamente di prendere parte anche a delle lezioni private: io le ho trovate particolarmente utili e ben organizzate, essendo "costruite" sui miei interessi personali. Il corso è a mio parere ben strutturato (le classi sono piccole e a lezione, affrontando diversi topics, non solo si arrichisce il lessico e si migliorano le capacità espressive, ma si imparano anche nuovi costrutti grammaticali, senza i classici e pesanti "tomi") e molto interessante (anche grazie alle attività facoltative che vengono proposte alla fine della giornata: un'occasione in più per imparare qualcosa di nuovo sulla cultura del paese che ci ospita). Per concludere posso dire che sono rimasta piacevolmente colpita dal mio soggiorno: la mia prima volta in Russia si è rivelata uno dei migliori viaggi-studio della mia vita, tanto che ne sto già programmando un secondo =)
Salve! Sono di Roma e studio il russo nel tempo libero. Ho appena trascorso tre settimane al centro linguistico Exlinguo di Novosibirsk. È stata una bellissima esperienza. Il centro e' piccolo, ma proprio per questo ogni studente viene seguito con particolare attenzione da insegnanti e staff qualificati e professionali in un'atmosfera tranquilla e familiare. Ogni settimana il centro organizza attività nella scuola e in città, le cui ampie strade, i teatri, i cinema, le biblioteche e gli spazi verdi offrono numerose possibilità di svago e arricchimento culturale. Inoltre nei fine settimana vengono organizzati viaggi in altre città e luoghi di interesse. Penso che chiunque è interessato all'apprendimento della lingua russa e alla cultura di questo grande paese possa fare lo stesso tipo di esperienza in questo centro nella città che è il cuore geografico (e non solo) della Siberia.
Le stage était super. Les professeurs sont souriants, dynamiques, mettent à l'aise et les cours sont très variés (musique, dessins animés, cours, jeux...) Les cours se font en très petit comité (4 max), donc c'est presque un cours individuel ! De plus, ma famille d'accueil était formidable. Ma soeur russe super sympathique m'a aidée dans tous mes déplacements, et m'accompagnait quand je voulais aller dans des endroits en particulier (musée, zooparc...). Je recommande !
Diesen Sommer habe ich zum zweiten Mal einen Sprachkurs bei Exlinguo gemacht, diesmal in Novosibirsk. Neben der freundlichen und offenen Atmosphäre im Sprachzentrum und den sympatischen Lehrern kann ich nur betonen, dass sich mein Russisch stark verbessert hat. Es wurde genau auf die Inhalte eingegangen die ich bisher noch nicht gut beherrschte und die Lehrer haben ein sehr gutes Gespühr dafür, wo man sich noch verbessern kann. Zum Abschluss meines Aufenthaltes habe ich das TRKI-1 Examen gemacht und meine Lehrer haben mich innerhalb von 2 Wochen sehr intensiv und gut darauf vorbereitet. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und kann Exlinguo nur weiterempfehlen!
The course in Novosibirsk is incredibly personable
Exlinguo is one of the most professional organisations I have ever used in order to facilitate my own private learning. I was apprehensive when I first searched on Google for a great course to supplement my Russian (as I moved to Russia for work). The staff were a joy to communicate with and the whole process before arrival was fantastic. It is important to mention that the tutors and teachers employed are the heart and soul of the course, they truly go beyond what is expected to welcome you and make you feel settled in. The course in Novosibirsk is incredibly personable and feels more of a family environment which makes it a pleasure to be there. The extra excursions to Krasnoyarsk and Lake Baikal were well worth it and turned the trip to Siberia to one I will look back on with memories for a lifetime. I normally read testimonials with a pinch of salt when it comes to companies I have not heard of before, but they deserve their glowing praise. This is one of the rare times I have actually wanted to write one as I feel the staff need to know how much I valued my time there as well as wanted others to have the confidence to take the plunge. I am very much considering a further trip in the not so distant future when work and life next allow. Thank you.
Exlinguo ist wirklich eine sehr gute Sprachschule. Die Klassen sind klein und die Lehrer, die sehr kompetent und geduldig sind, gehen stark auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Schüler ein. Der Unterricht ist kommunikativ gestaltet, so dass man in relativ kurzer Zeit seinen Wortschatz stark erweitern kann und sich außerdem ans Sprechen gewöhnt. Der Unterricht ist sehr interessant gestaltet und wird durch ein ebenso interessantes Kulturprogramm am Nachmittag (durch das man Land und Leute kennenlernt) abgerundet.
La qualité des enseignants, l'ambiance chaleureuse
Mon séjour de quatre semaines à Exlinguo a été d'une grande richesse, tant du point de vue de la pédagogie que des apports des activités culturelles. La qualité des enseignants, l'ambiance chaleureuse de l'école et la gentillesse de nos hôtes nous font quitter avec regret ce centre !
Dit was de tweede keer dat ik Exlinguo bezocht in Sint-Petersburg en de eerste keer in Novosibirsk. Zoals altijd was de kwaliteit van het onderwijs, huisvesting, excursies, nevenactiviteiten, op en top. Ik heb weer een gigantische stap voorwaarts gezet in mijn kennis van de russische taal. Ik kan nu al boeken lezen zonder om de haverklap een woordenboek te moeten openen. En ik kan vlot communiceren met russen en russisch sprekenden. Ik raad Exlinguo vol overtuiging aan, aan ieder die niet enkel de russische taal wil beheersen, maar ook de russische kultuur wil ontdekken.
Je rentre de 6 semaines de stage à Novossibirsk où j'ai passé un séjour très satisfaisant sur tous les plans. Exlinguo assure vraiment tant au niveau organisation qu'au niveau enseignement ! Les activités sont très variées (atelier cuisine, excursions, jeux, cours culturels ...) et les cours sont dynamiques. On y va avec plaisir parce que les profs sont super sympas et à l'écoute et parce que le matériel pédagogique est au top ! Je recommande cet organisme à tous ceux qui souhaitent apprendre. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe !
