This Language program is a great place for us to get in touch with the real Russia. Here in Siberia, we saw countless birch trees, which always represent the symbol of Russia. We got chance to know what's the food native Russians have since every day we eat the same as they do, and more important for me, a Russian language learner, my Russian vocabulary expanded impressively during this short period. And the most cool thing about the program is that here we meet many hospitable and nice people. We learn a lot about Russian culture from them, not mention Russian language itself. Surely this program is a worthwhile experience for us. And a lot of people and things there remain as our sweet memory.
