Hello everybody,
I'm studying Russian at the university and would like go there next semester via exchange. However this was harder than I thought - the only exchange offered from my uni is North2North, but none among those russian universities offer russian language courses for foreigners. The normal language courses via private companies are too pricy for me as well.
Question: Do you know of any "alternative" language courses/schools in Russia with resonable prices? A few years back I learnt german in Berlin in a alternative language school called Babylonia, it was very pleasant and friendly and so on, hopefully not just a german phenomenon.
Question 2: What do you think about going to, say Moscow, and put up an ad to make contact with a teacher there to take private lessons. What about the official invitation then?

Lastly, I have to point out that I see this as punk, some just call it cheap. Doesn't matter, I can't afford 4000€/semester anyway.

Привет! (Извините моего плохой Русский)
Я шведский студент и хочу зчаю о бозможностях что едет на например Москве и туда находитьця "алтернативный" курсы Русского языка, то есть дешёвых курсы, может быть из учителних с сосиалный или политическый мнение.
