STUDY RUSSIAN IN THE HISTORIC GOLDEN RING CITY OF VLADIMIR

The picturesque city of Vladimir is an ideal setting in which to become
immersed in Russian language and history.  This 1,000 year old city of
nearly 400,000 is located on a well traveled highway approximately 120
miles northeast of Moscow.  Students will be met at Moscow airport and
driven past vast birch forests, through villages and small towns to this
former capitol of ancient Rus.

FEATURES:  Room and board with a Russian family (two meals a day).
Intensive one-on-one or small group lessons (no more than 6 students) for
at least 3 hours a day (4 Russian "academic hours"), 5 days a week.   These
lessons will frequently be "on site" in an open air market, on the trolley
bus, and elsewhere in the community.  Classroom lessons will be in the
comfortable, well equipped American Home--through which you will be able to
meet a variety of Russians who study English there.

For more information on the American Home see our website:
www.serendipity-russia.com.

DATES:  Open--beginning May 15 through August 30.  (Additional dates in the
fall and winter may be available.  Please check with us.)

COST:  Approximately $2,500 for an eight week individual program--including
room and two meals a day (breakfast and dinner), at least 15 hours a week of
Russian lessons from very well trained native speaking teachers, and local
excursions.

Shorter and longer stays are also available, as are side trips to St.
Petersburg and other cities.  Please check with us for cost.

SIGNUP DEADLINE:  At least two months prior to departure.  A $500 deposit
is required to reserve a place in the program, and the balance is due at
least 30 days prior to departure.
