Hey,
I'm going on a Russian immersion course for two weeks in October. It takes place with the British Council and is in Yaroslavl. Does anyone have any photos or information on the city. What's it like? Are there many shops restaurants etc. I'm 17 by the way so anything that might apply to that age group. Thank you!

Hi, nathanuk! Actually, I'm from Yaroslavl. It's quite a nice city. There're many shops and restaurants here. There are night clubs too. But October is not a good time to come because of the weather :) ... Pictures... Lampada's pictures are beautiful but they show churches but not Yaroslavl. I can send you photos if you like.Quote:

4. I dunno what to say about the city. Ask questions
Ха!
Our school has an immersion program that partners "Moscow International Gymnasia", a school in Moscow. It is a private school that partners some UN program, so all the students that attend are rich. Unfortunately, they get our hick-ass-selves. But we get to go to Moscow (Слово Бога 2008).
And you get to go to Yaroslavl. I thought I'd be an ass and point that out.
Yeh, you're an idiot.Quote:

That was really anal, pissing on the guy's parade like that. Besides, I happen to think that Moscow isn't all it's cut up to be. Yaroslavl is just fine -- and I'm willing to bet that in terms of the Russian environment there, it'll be a bit more authentic, rather than an overly expensive metropolis...(I'm still sore about the extra 2 or 3 roubles that my bread cost me there! That's like a whopping ten cents! :P ).
Exactly, some people don't like big cities, especially big foreign cities. And for learning a foreign language a smaller place is probably better.
And also Yaroslavl' will be a hell of a lot cheaper than Moscow.
I hope you get robbed in Moscow, subpar.
I first met my wife in Yaroslavl.
Just so you know.
I first met your wife in Kazan'.Quote:

I heard it once in a song. Does it have some special meaning?Quote:

haha actually I am envious that im not going to Moscow. I like big cities. I want to know what's in Yaroslavl becuase i have to spend two weeks there! We are going to Moscow though!
I presume subar is American with his usage of "ass" all the time. Not a English thing. So yes us English folk like a bit of class on our school trips! :p meh. I'm still looking forward to it whatever, more oppertunity than most kids my age.
Yeah. Like the Spaniards (people who study Spanish as opposed to awesome Russian). They get to go to a textile factory just out of town. But whatevah, they chose the language.Quote:
