If you are a parent who is looking for an enriching Russian language learning environment for your child, I enthusiastically recommend the Berkeley Russian School. Here is why: First of all the Director, Yelena Glikman, and the teachers make the learning experience fun. (Children from ages 3 to 14 are accepted.) My two children (ages 3 and 4) love the school and teachers. They bring home incredible artwork, poems, and fun activities. They attend once a week, three classes, and they talk about the school every day! Ours is a home where Russian is heard daily from my husband, and the teachers at Berkeley Russian School are patient and supportive of dual language households. You can see their website at /www.berkeleyrussianschool.org/ J. G.

My children used to be fluent in Russian (my language) but lost most of it b/c we can only speak English at home (their dad doesn't speak Russian).

I would like to enroll them in some kind of language classes that would restore their language. However, I am not looking for a full-blown program taking the entire Sunday, but rather just a normal language class - just like they teach kids Spanish, French etc.

My children are 7 & 4, we are in Oakland hills, but could come to Berkeley or other nearby areas if we find a good program.

Could anyone direct me? Maria

For three years, my daughter has been going to the Berkeley Russian school. There, every Sunday she has lessons-an hour of each:music, math,and Russian language and curriculum. Additionally, every year a play is staged, in which all the children sing, dance, and act. Last year, the school opened a summer camp in which everyone had fun and learned music, art, art history, got to be in the play and make their own leather bound book.This year the school is opening the camp again. It is going to be from July 31 to August 18, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For further information, call Yelena Glikman at (510) 526-8892
