This language school is located in the historic centre of Kiev, a short walk from the Saint Sofia Cathedral and the remains of the Golden Gate, which was once the main entrance to the city.

Es war fuer mich sehr interssant. Kontaktpersonen in Deutschland und auch vor Ort in NovaMova waren freundlich und kompetent. Das Land - die Ukraine befindet sich im Moment in einem sehr desolatem Zustand, fuer mich war es vor Ort und durch viele Gespraeche sehr interssant das alles zu sehen, deshalb 5 Sterne Personal sehr freundlich und kompetent. Lage perfekt, Konzept durchdacht. Meine Gruppe war sehr klein. Es gab auch noch interessante Angebote nach den Lektionen Es war insgesamt eine sehr gelungene Woche!

Ik heb een hele positieve indruk van mijn taalreis naar Kiev bij taalschool Novamova. De school bevindt zich middenin het centrum. Op B1 niveau werd in de klas gefocust op conversatie en vocabulaire ontwikkeling. Dit ging naar mijn mening op een bijzonder prettige en voldoende uitdagende manier en ik heb het gevoel veel vooruitgang te hebben gemaakt.Kiev is een ontzettend leuke en toegankelijke stad waar veel te doen is. De taalschool Novamova speelt daar goed op in door studenten steeds op de hoogte te houden van activiteiten waaraan zij kunnen deelnemen. Daarnaast organiseert de school zelf ook in de namiddag vaak extra activiteiten zoals een kookclub, filmclub en uitspraaktraining.

« Ja, hoewel ik er maar voor twee weken was heb ik het gevoel dat ik met name in het spreken en verstaan van russisch beter ben geworden. De docenten vielen nooit terug op engels om iets uit te leggen. Daardoor werd ik continue gedwongen mijn woordenschat actief te gebruiken. »

Ich war überrascht wie freundlich, offen und hilfsbereit die Kiewer sind, Der Unterricht in dieser kleinen familiären Schule ist sehr kompetent und ich wurde sehr gut betreut. In meinem Gruppenkurs hatte ich in der ersten Woche nur eine Mitstudentin, in der zweiten Woche war ich sogar allein. Andere Studenten habe ich in der Pause oder an freiwilligen Anlässen getroffen und da haben wir konsequent nur Russisch gesprochen. Es sind natürlich keine westeuropäische Verhältnisse, die Gastmutter hat mir ihr Zimmer überlassen und hat selber auf dem Divan im Wohnzimmer geschlafen. Ein Schreibtisch im Zimmer wäre praktisch gewesen, vor allem wenn ich länger geblieben wäre. Aber für zwei Wochen ging es. Die Gastmutter hat sich sehr viel mit mir unterhalten, das habe ich sehr geschätzt.

Recomiendo NovaMova, mi host family y la ciudad de Kiev por su generosidad, belleza y tranquilidad que ofrece a sus visitantes sin esperar nada a cambio. La profesora fue muy competente y el resto del personal muy ddidacado tambien. Una mujer y un niño encantadores. Alto nivel de inglés hablado. El primer día me llevo a un concierto y me dío toda la confianza y ayuda posible.

Das Team ist sehr engagiert und professionell. Die Lehrer flexibel, offen, bieten gute Materialien und wenden sie auch sehr kompetent im Laufe des Unterrichts an.Während meines Aufenthaltes waren allerdings wenige Schüler zu sehen (Vorteil -> kleinere Gruppen, Nachteil -> weniger Austausch und soziale Kontakte). Das kann aber an der Winterzeit liegen. In meinem Zimmer gab es keinen Schreibtisch. Ich durfte allerdings den Schreibtisch im Zimmer daneben nutzen. Es wäre dennoch einfach ein Vorteil gewesen, einen Schreibtisch im eigenen Zimmer zur Verfügung zu haben. Meine Aufenthaltsdauer war zu kurz um die Angebote richtig nutzen zu können. Das Angebot schien auch nicht sehr ausgebaut zu sein - was aber meiner Schätzung nach an der geringeren Schüleranteil der Wintersaison lag. Einige Freizeitangebote werden so augenscheinlich doch gestrichen weg. Anmeldungenmangels.Das Ausflugsangebot habe ich nicht benutzt daher mittige Bewertung

Il soggiorno linguistico è stato piacevole ed interessante, tanto da studiare una settimana in più rispetto alle due programmate. Il personale della scuola NovaMova è competente, gentile e disponibile e il direttore è presente ed attento. La città di Kiev ci ha colpiti favorevolmente per l'ordine e la pulizia, per i suoi parchi e i sui spazi. Gli abitanti sono educati e pronti a fornire indicazioni. Siamo molto soddisfatti di aver fatto questo viaggio gradevole ed istruttivo.

Novamova, Kiev
Duration: 3 weeks

I have just come back from my third language stay in Russia in the following cities: Odessa, St Petersburg and Kiev. First of all, I want to point out the efficiency of the ESL Paris agency for the advice, the implementation of the administrative procedures and for organizing all my stays. On site, I was very happy to notice that the means used for teaching are of very high quality, the teachers listen to the students and gladly teach the language. My progress is so significant that I look forward to preparing a new stay.

In 2016, I went to Kiev to take a Russian course. The educational team was very professional and the staff was very nice. My host family was very friendly and I spent some really good moments with them. And the food was amazing! The city is great and there are plenty of things to do (museums, theatres, parks, shops, etc.). Transports are easily accessible. In a nutshell, it was a wonderful stay!

Host family
Discover the daily life of a Ukrainian family during your language stay in Kiev! Your carefully selected host family will be happy to share their culture with you and guide you through the city. All of the families are Russian-speaking and will offer you a warm and friendly setting for practising Russian. According to your preferences, our partner language school can offer you a family in the centre of Kiev, some 30 minutes from the school, or within a larger perimeter around the capital (50 minutes max).

Shared apartment (26.05.-14.09.2019)
For more independent students, the school offers the possibility of living in a shared apartment with one or two other students from the school in the centre (30 mins. max. from the school). You will meet students from around the world and benefit from a friendly, international atmosphere. In the comfortable apartment, you will have your own private room and share the kitchen and bathroom with your roommates.

The school can also offer you accommodation in a private apartment in the centre or suburbs of Kiev.

Take advantage of the original activities offered at the NovaMova Russian language school to add a cultural dimension to your language stay! Once a week, a classic of Soviet or contemporary Russian cinema will be shown at the school. The movie screenings – in Russian with English subtitles – are preceded and followed by discussions in order to clarify vocabulary and allow students to share their impressions on the film. NovaMova will also take you to discover Kiev’s major monuments and attractions, and if you are a sports fan, you can even attend a football match in one of the city’s stadiums. On the weekend, excursions to the most beautiful sites in Ukraine will be organised: to the majestic Monastery of the Caves and the World War II Museum and also to the port town of Odessa and the vibrant and touristic Lviv, in the east of the country. In the summertime, every other week NovaMova hosts a cooking club where a professional chef gives master classes in cooking a local Russian or Ukrainian dish.
