As Liden and Denz is the school that provides Russian Language Training for British Diplomats, I worked closely with the staff of Liden and Denz while posted to the British Consulate General in St Petersburg. The school has an excellent reputation with the expat community, and provides a full range of language courses from short courses to get to know the language, to teaching Russian to Ambassador's in Moscow. The staff and teachers are friendly and helpful, and the school ensure that not only do you learn Russian, but you also learn about Russia, with the many events that they arrange.

I completed a 2 weeks beginner Russian language course at Liden & Denz St Petersburg centre - March/April 2010. The efficiency of the staff, the professionalism of the teacher and methodology - the kidness of my host family made my St P. stay and learning experience extremely positive. My personnal learning abililities in Russian language is like for Dancing: I am not gifted at all, but I love it. Most of all, Liden & Denz course, gave me the appetite to learn more about the language, the people, the history and the culture of THE largest country in this world! Didier (Paris)

I did a one on one beginner level Russian course at Liden and Denz and found it to be the best language class I have ever had. I was taking another one on one class at the same time with a private tutor and did not get nearly as much out of it as I did out of the Liden and Denz class. I would highly recommend this school.

I was very satisfied with the professional level of the teachers. Also, the support staff were wonderful. They were very helpful, courteous and friendly. If I had a problem they could and did solve it. I was very surprised at the Russia methods of teaching. They are very, very different from American methods. Overall, I have really enjoyed my time at Liden & Denz. I would recommend this school to anyone who seriously want to learn Russian. Again the is outstanding. The teachers are all very professional and skilled. I hope I can continue my association with this school for many year. I am proud to say I am a student at Liden & Denz.

There are a lot of things to say about my overall impression of Liden & Denz school. Quality , hospitality, flexibility, a very through one on one program. Very skilled and qualified teachers that meet your goals and your needs. When I first came to Liden & Denz was in March of 2008 . I had never been to Russia before. I knew very little Russian and could not read the Russian alphabet, but now with the help of Liden & Denz I can read Russian very well with less then three months of intensive study, I feel I have a good foundation of Russia!! I have been to Saint Petersburg 3 times every time I have studied at Liden & Denz. I have always been amazed the quality and care that Liden & Denz puts into there students. My goal is to ultimately become fluent in Russian with the help of Liden & Denz I know this is diffidently not my last time to study at Liden & Denz, I know I will return to Russia to study here many time and time again!!

I started my studies at Liden & Denz in November 2008/ Before that I knew almost nothing about Russiam culture, life in the real Russia outside the Swedish media image, and I couldn't speak any Russian at all. Today "Piter" is like a home to me. I feel very comfortable in school, learning and making friends from all over the world. I try very hard not to think about that I have to go back to Sweden. Piter is my favourite city now, and living and studying here is an experience, not only educationally and culturally, but also an experience of personal growth.

Liden&Denz St. Petersburg is one of the best language schools I have been to. Professional teachers show you every day how to easy learn and practice the Russian language. Since St. Petersburg is also a very Eastern European city most of the people do not speak English. This means you have to learn Russian - FAST! ;) Living in a host family has its advantages too! The families are friendly, open-minded and love to show the real Russian way of life! ... Not all of the hosts are perfect but if you are willing to adapt some of their traditions and rules you will for sure have a good time. In addition, the city of St. Petersburg is amazing!! Especially in summer time when the White nights start and the whole city is not sleeping ;) I learned to speak Russian in St.Petersburg within 2 months (good level) and I would recommend it to everyone who wants to learn this *exotic* language...

If you learn Russian at Liden & Denz, you will not only learn the language, but also see how it is to live in Russia. Living in a host family gives you the opportunity to experience the Russian way of life. You will learn fast, because you hear Russian language all the time and you also have to use the language. You will see your progress every day, by practice what you have learned. To study Russian in Russia is for sure a great experience.

After reviewing all the schools available to me to study Russian in St Petersburg I decided to choose Liden & Denz after learning of the school’s facilities, experience and reputation, and, I am happy to say, the school completely met my expectations and more.
I was slightly nervous and apprehensive about heading to Russian and felt that a school with a strong international intake of students would ease my transition and it was. The school is well furbished and equipped and has its own canteen which is a great place to meet with other students and socialize and reflect on the agonizing process of studying Russian.
At the beginning of my course, the prospect of successfully studying Russian seemed daunting and unobtainable but the classes, whilst being demanding, were engaging and supportive and ensured that I progressed rapidly. Living with a friendly host family who were more than happy to tolerate my clumsy, messy Russian has further helped my linguistic development.
In addition to the classes, the school organizes numerous cultural and social events every week, which ensure that when you first take plunge into the city you will be able to do so with other people in the same position as you. It also offers an opportunity to be fairly dependant on the school until you have enough confidence, or Russian competency, to boldly strut the streets of St Petersburg independently.
I thoroughly recommend Liden & Denz to anyone studying in St Petersburg, the city is a sumptuous slice of European culture and the school has complemented and enhanced my entire experience.
