Description: Bellnor Language School offers an impressive variety of Russian and Estonian language courses for overseas students. We also offer English, German, French, Swedish, Estonian and Russian language courses for the local students. We are experts in teaching languages. We have years of experience. All of our teachers have university degrees in the languages they teach. Russian and Estonian are taught exclusively by teachers who are native speakers of those languages.

Highlights: By now, you may wonder why you should choose Estonia as a country for learning Russian. There are quite a few reasons to do so.

Native Russian speakers: About 50% of people living in Tallinn are native Russian speakers. As strange as it may seem, Russian spoken in Estonia is significantly more correct than Russian spoken in Russia by an average person. The reason is a rapid decrease of literacy in Russia during the post-Perestroika decade. You cannot expect much of a country's education system if you keep the school teachers waiting for their salaries for months. On the other hand, Estonia is a country that has been experiencing a tremendous growth in economy after breaking apart from the Soviet Union, and here comes another reason to learn Russian in Estonia. Quality of living in Estonia does not differ from the European average. If you feel yourself comfortable in Scandinavia, you will feel yourself comfortable in Estonia as well. You will definitely enjoy friendly and customer-oriented service in public places, spectacular vistas of medieval Old Tallinn, rich cultural life, lots of entertainment. On the other hand, the cost of living in Tallinn and in Estonia in general is significantly lower than in Scandinavia or in Europe, so you will get the best of the two worlds. By the way, Tallinn is regarded as one of the safest capitals in Europe.

Language learning traditions: Tallinn has been a crossroad of international trading for centuries. Knowing that, you will be less surprised that the ability to speak 3 or 4 languages here will add you a certain amount of plus-points, but won't really surprise anybody. That means you will feel comfortable here even if you are just getting started with your Russian or Estonian studies.
