How a student from Slovakia learned Russian in just 6 months (VIDEO)
Andrey came to Russia for the first time. He's going to study at the St. Petersburg State University and hopes to become a diplomat one day.
The Slovakian student started learning Russian at the Russian Center for Science and Culture in his homeland. After six months, he says he's achieved such a level of language that he'll immediately begin the first university year, skipping the preparatory faculty.
How did he do it? Well, to improve his Russian, Andrey spent a couple of months at the Pushkin Institute's summer school in Moscow.
