Learning Russian in Russia

[Dr Yoshimasa Tsuji]

Hello,
A student in our faculty wishes to spend a year in Russia to
learn Russian from this March/April. I recommend him to
employ one or two teachers, stay at a private home in a quiet
provincial town where no one speaks Japanese. The tuition fee
in Russia seems to be seven US dollars per hour or US$5,800 for
a course of ten months, but being an expert on salaries, I am sure
there are people who would be willing to look after him at a much
lower cost. My rough estimate is US$200 a month, three hours every day
from Monday to Friday.
  If you have any idea about whom to contact, let me know. Thanks.

With best wishes,
Tsuji
