More than just vocabulary

In my other classes at school, we spent so much time just on vocabulary that we never really spoke the language or practiced using full sentences or conversations. I think this camp was really different in that even when we only knew a few words, we were still practicing talking to each other and using them in different ways to really get that speaking experience and real world conversations.

Language immersion

The experience is more than just the language. You’re not learning just Russian and Chinese or whatever language you choose – you’re learning what it’s like to be Russian and what it’s like to be Chinese or what it’s like to be Persian.

Culturally focused

I would describe the Russian program as very hands on, very culturally focused, and the teachers are very experienced. I would say that if you want to learn the Russian language, I don’t think that there are really any other programs that are greater than this one.

Amazing experience!

I had a great time, this was an amazing experience. It was wonderful to learn from people who grew up speaking the language, and I learned so much, and I think it will probably help me a lot in the future!

New friends and a new language

Great program, very interactive, small class size. Would definitely recommend it to a friend! Teachers are great and it is very fun to hang out with new friends while learning a new language.

Cultural aspects

I enjoyed the cultural aspects of this class, as we got to make Persian food, listen to Persian music, and even learn a dance to show the program.

Making cherished memories!

I love the teachers, and their constant willingness to help us to succeed in this program. I really enjoyed being a part of this program, and I will cherish the memories I made, and the connections that will remain with me forever.
