Dive into a 70-hour immersive Russian language experience designed for high school students who have little to no background in Russian! At TerpsTalk, you'll explore the language in small groups and through one-on-one tutoring, learning to introduce yourself, talk about your interests, and connect with Russian speakers. While you’re learning the language, you’ll discover cultural products, traditions, and must-see spots in Moscow and St. Petersburg. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation to keep learning—whether in high school, college, or on your own.
