the question - why do the celta in Russia has been answered.

Students are different apparently - depending on their nationality.

Getting used to the no nonsense approach takes some getting used to. Having a month to practice on russians is invaluable. In saying that one of my students the oher day said (he's originally from the regions) that moscow lessons are different to those in the regions and the students are different. Suggesting that people outside moscow are less demanding and are more polite.

I've been here over a year and i still can't say i'm used to it all.

Another thing about celta is - during the course the students know you are training so they can be more helpful with feedback.

Gentlemen (and/or ladies), thanks again for your helpful comments. That definitely makes perfect sense to obtain a CELTA in the country you believe you will spend all or most of your career, as you will receive invaluable experience with students of that country. Again, I appreciate all your insight.
