Language study Ukraine

[teo823]

I found a place called ELC, Ltd for russian lessons. Can someone tell me if they are reliable? I want to come to study in kiev for 16 weeks in spring 2006.

Also does anyone know of job prospects in kiev for the same time period. I'm american.

Finally, does anyone know of homestays or cheap accomidations around $200 a month.

Please email advice to teo823@msn.com


Spicba!

Yes, it's a well-established school. There is also http://www.epoch.kiev.ua. There are many more, First State Courses of Foreign Languages, Svitanok, International House (http://www.ih.kiev.ua/en/index.htm). Universities offer pre-course language training to foreign students, which are believe are open to just about anyone.

Kiev Post (www.kyivpost.com) made a surway of the Russian language schools in Kiev but I can't find it.

Not sure how to find an $200 apartment without a working knowledge of Russian, maybe ask Americal Councils to post the add through their email lists: assistant@alumnicenter.kiev.ua

I think the guy also runs home-stay and offers 'Russian courses' but i can't say anything about quality. Definately not something I heard of.
