I came from China to study in Russia. I did not know the language and took preliminary courses at Samara State Medical University. But later, I chose the profession of a Russian language teacher and entered the Faculty of Philology at Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education.
Of course, it is so interesting to know more about the traditions and culture of the country you've been living in for a long time. I have many friends who help me feel at home here. I speak Russian well already and know a lot about Russia. When I have free time, I like to walk along the embankment and go to the cinema. So I enjoy staying here.

I decided to study in Russia because I want to speak Russian fluently and, of course, understand Russian culture. I've been living in Russia for 5 years already, and I like studying at the Faculty of Economics very much. At first, that was very difficult for me because I didn't know Russian. But now it is much easier, and I get only good and excellent marks. Thanks to my teachers of Russian, I can speak Russian rather well now. I have my favorite teacher who helps me learn the language and understand Russian culture and Russian people's traditions much better. Come to study here, learn this beautiful language, and get acquainted with this mysterious country.
