Anyone know of some good schools based in EE or SA where they would teach more than one language based on English? Not sure if that exists outside of the anglo world.

Ideally Russian and Spanish but others as well.

which languages you want to learn and why?

I would be interested too but haven't come across them yet.

It kind of sucks because in Korea I found out a lot of Hagwons there (maybe there is some kind of government subsidization I'm not aware of?) would sell classes for like $200 a month. And a lot of Churches had free Korean lessons too. Whereas when I tried to look up Russian classes in Eastern Europe people wanted nearly $1,000 a month ( ) when a lot of locals probably make 1/5 of that per month....... (some middle man is getting filthy rich for sure).

Then people overseas get angry at me for not being able to learn locals languages... yeah if the cheapest option for me is $800+ a month then it would be crazy to pay when considering my housing costs are lower than that.


And people are annoyed that "Americans can't speak anything except English" but of course if your only means of instruction (after high school level) is $1,000 - $4,000 a month for language lessons then what do you expect? The only alternative are some electronic language sets but most people report that they're shit for the most part.

Better to hire a tutor but some schools might be the big public universities, as they usually have foreign language departments, such as Moscow State Linguistic University and St Petersburg State University.
