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

Tutor or course for Russian refresher

Sept 2004

Any suggestions for tutors or courses for a Russian language refresher course? UC Extension no longer offers Russian, and UC has only daytime classes, 4x weekly. I'm in Berkeley. Thanks. Marian

A few years back I was trying to find the same thing. I called the Departemtn of Slavic Languages at Cal and they had a list of grad students who tutor. If I were you I would give them a call and ask. I got to work with a native speaker and she lived in the UC Village so it was really fun and convenient. Eileen

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
