SIA Liden & Denz Riga

(Translated by Google) I was in Riga for 4 weeks. The school was demanding and that's why I reached a respectable level within a short time. I can warmly recommend! Don't forget to take part in the excursions, Natalia will be happy to see you, say hello to her from me :).

After 4 weeks attending a Russian language course at Liden & Denz I can truly recommend it! The teachers there are really dedicated and the environment could not be better. They spoke only Russian the whole time. Quite tough at first but I made so fast progress!

Für 4 Wochen war ich in Riga. Die Schule war fordernd und dadurch habe ich einen respektablen Level innert nur kurzer Zeit erreicht. Kann ich wärmstens empfehlen! Vergesst nicht an den Exkursionen teilzunehmen, Natalia wird sich auf euch freuen, grüsst sie von mir :).

My name is Mark Kennedy, and I spent six weeks both doing an internship for and studying Russian with Liden and Denz in Riga, Latvia. I was immediately impressed in my first lesson at the ability of the staff to not just explain the language, but to help me integrate what I learned into everyday life. In terms of outside the classroom, I've really enjoyed getting together with other students and hanging out with my flat mates. I've been able to get along very well with everybody. I would recommend studying Russian with Liden and Denz to any student wishing to further their language capabilities, and I plan on coming back in the future.

The materials were useful, and the school is in a great location with good facilities. Victoria was an excellent teacher however the other two teachers I had were difficult to work with. Both were patronising and would routinely try to humiliate students for making mistakes.The management and administration staff were also very nice.
