It was definitely worthwhile. I can now watch videos and movies in Russian, so this experience definitely opened up a new world to me. Jacob Werner - University of Cambridge View Entire Review
I learned a lot, not only about Russian, but also the local culture and history. I also learned a lot about what it is like to be in another country interacting with a foreign culture. Michael Hamilton - United States Naval Academy View Entire Review
