Russian Language Class For Kids?
Nov 2008
I am a Russian speaking Mum who has two smalls kids and an English speaking husband. I am trying to get my 4.5 yr old daughter to speak Russian, but I am failing. Does anyone know of a Russian class for kids or may be someone will be interested in getting together a few kids with similar situation and sharing a private teacher? elena
Please come to the Berkeley Russian School. You can look at the web site www.berkeleyrussianschool.org or call the director Yelena Glikman at (510)526-8892. There are a lot of families with kids similar in age to yours where only one parent is a native Russian speaker. Classes meet on Wednesdays in the afternoon and Saturday mornings. yulia
Summer camp for newly-adopted Russian 8 yr-old
April 2007
I just received the thrilling news that I can go to Russia to adopt my new son in April. Since I'll be stuck there for more than a month, we won't be home till late May, which means there's no point in enrolling him in school this year anymore. Keeping in mind that he doesn't speak English (or will just be learning then) what camps would you recommend? He's also had less schooling than American kids, so it can't be anything involving academics, either. I live in Oakland, work in Berkeley. Please drop me a line by email. Thanks so much. Monica
Berkeley Russian School http://www.berkeleyrussianschool.org/ runs summer camps in Russian. Russian Center of SF on Suttter and Divisadero offers classes & enrichment activities (academic, dance, etc.) in Russian. Maria
Russian classes for adults
2001
I'm seeking Russian language classes (or possibly a tutor for 2 adults) for adults in the East Bay (used to be available thru UC Extension and Albany adult school, but no longer). Thanks!- Roxane
A few years ago I sought the same & contacted the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at UCB. They maintain a list of graduate students (many of whom are native speakers of Russian) who are available for tutoring. I found a great tutor and brushed up on my Russian conversational skills after many years of neglect. Strastvuyte! Eileen
If you use Facebook, there is a group called Russian-speaking East Bay. You’ll find lots of options for formal language classes, social/cultural experiences, and informal play dates by searching through the posts.
