AMIGOS is not just a language school, our target is to TEACH COMMUNICATION SKILLS in INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS. Communication is the main target of any language but, unfortunately, sometimes even if you can read, write, speak or understand a language, the communication is still not good enough. Maybe you are wondering - How can it happen? You will find the answer to this question just thinking about the way you learned your native language. Did you start studying grammar while being a baby? For sure not, we simply experienced the need of transferring some information and we learned to do it just listening and repeating what other people are saying.
It means we FIRSTLY learned how to COMMUNICATE and only AFTERWARDS how to read, write or speak according to the GRAMMAR rules, and never in the other way around. This is exactly the main philosophy of AMIGOS, to make our students learning the communication as a native would do it, without splitting the learning process into different parts (reading, writing, listening, etc) but just taking it as a whole.
HOW TO GET IT? AMIGOS offers an alternative based on the combination of the most efficient parts of classical methodologies. The result is an innovative way to learn a foreign language, following the requirements of the REAL LIFE but, at the same time, adapted to the INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS of each student.
The nationality and age mix at Amigos Language School varies over different time periods, courses and levels.

AMIGOS Language School - Zhilyanskaya is located in Kiev city center with easy access by public transport (Metro Vokzalna - Tram - Main train station - Bus - Minibus)
My weeklong stay at Amigos Language School to learn Russian was very pleasant and improved my language skills. We were two students with a young, cheerful and engaged teacher. She never ended the lesson before its official finishing time but gave us manageable homework. Though the school is a bit hidden, I very much liked the small classes, the teachers and their style.
I would like to come back to Amigos Language School next year.
First thing to mention is that the language school is located on the other side of the house and you can find a map on the website.
I really liked my classes, although I signed up for groups from 2 to 5, I mostly got private classes with Polina. She was very careful and teached me whatever I had to be teached. She corrected my homework and chose the exercises based on my weaknesses.
I would recommend to stay at a random hostel you choose by yourself, so as I did. Because even though I had private lessons, I still got the possibility to interact with others at the hostel.
The amigos language school is a pretty good way to improve your skills!
It is not a study center, but just a small space in poor condition. There is no indication of the existence of a school and the neighbors did not know about this school either.
In three weeks, only one other student showed up occasionally, so there was no exchange or social activities or cultural immersion. Really, in the end, I just received private lessons. But the teacher was nice and did his job well.
The people there were very nice and I learned many things I did not know before. The housing is not the best, but it was not cold there and it was cleaned.

Show details » Read more...Anna, the teacher, was exceptional and made class an enjoyable educational experience. The location was conveniently accessible near a metro stop. My only suggestion for improvement is to get new desks for the classroom.
Show details » Read more...I studied at the Amigos Spanish School. During the study of language the school organized regular outings, informal meetings at which I was able to talk the other students, in native English and Spanish! After the course, I not only learned the Spanish language, but also found a lot of friends!

The language school has an excellent location, between the University and the Central Station, very close to Tarasa Shevchenko Blvd.
Our Russian teacher was very communicative and passionate about her job. Also her English skills were magnificent, so she could help us out when we got "lost in translation". ;-) In the classes, the main focus was put into basic grammar and pronunciation.
There were also lots of social activities organised (bowling, drinks, picnic), and we got plenty of chances for using our recently acquired knowledge and make friends. The atmosphere was very laid back! Learning Russian in Amigos was definitely a great experience for me.
Generally speaking it was a very good experience. I did an intensive course and my language skills had improved quite a lot I think. Teachers are well prepared and atmosphere with them and with other students is fine. About location, facilities and so on, I think they are adequate.
Show details » Read more...Simply perfect. Since I arrived in Kiev, Amigos' staff helped me with any single detail making my stay really comfortable and productive. The school fits 100% with the description showed in internet, friendly and efficient, with a high qualified staff that ensures a very familiar environment. My level of Russian has improved as never before after these four weeks of intensive course. I strongly recommend it.
Thanks Amigos, I will be back soon :)
I enjoyed very much my time with the personnel of Amigos Language School. From the first moment, they helped me, from when I arrived in Kiev until we said goodbye at the airport. Even though I had a tight spot with an accommodation that I booked by myself, my teacher helped me in a nice way. So on the personnel side, they were friendly, reliable and were a great support when I needed it.
With regards to the classes, they were a perfect mix of fun moments and serious methodology. I feel that I made a step more in my Russian language thanks to those classes. I only regret that I didn't spend more days there. Anna is a very good teacher.
In summary, I recommend this place for study very much.
Thank you,
Diego
