Kevin van Guilik

For Kevin, what began as a personal motivation to communicate better with his partner grew into a keen interest in Russian language and culture. Kevin shares how our Russian courses not only helped him improve his language skills, but also felt like “a warm welcome” thanks to his teacher and fellow course participants.

“My adventure with the Russian language began in 2010 in the heart of Russia, at Moscow State University (MGU). It was not just a language course; it was the beginning of an extraordinary journey that changed my life. The driving force behind it? Love. I met the love of my life and decided it was time to unravel the secrets of the Russian language to better communicate with my partner.

However, after the birth of our beautiful daughter Eva, learning Russian was temporarily put on the back burner. The hectic pace of life took its toll, but the connection with Russia, my many Russian friends, and my love for the country motivated me to keep improving my language skills. That was why I decided to take a course at In'to Languages.

At In'to, I enrolled in several Russian language courses, from Russian B1 to Halfway to C1. In'to Languages was an obvious choice, given their excellent reputation, proximity, and appealing programme. The approachability, openness, and friendly atmosphere both online and on campus enriched my experience. What made the classes special was not just the knowledge I gained, but also the real sense of connection with my fellow course participants.

What kept me most enthusiastic to continue learning was the positive dynamics in the group, the progress I observed in myself and, above all, the excellent guidance of Natasha, my teacher. Her expertise and dedication are admirable, and her classes feel like a warm welcome. Natasha is always open to help and she creates an environment in which learning is not only an educational experience, but also an enjoyable one.

For me, the most enjoyable aspect of the courses at In'to Languages is the opportunity to provide input, which makes the classes even more closely tailored to our needs. All in all, my language journey with In'to Languages not only improved my Russian skills but it also deepened my love for the language and culture. It feels like a journey without end, thanks to the inspiring environment and Natasha's wonderful guidance.”
