| Does anybody know anything about Orange Language Centre in St. Petersburgh? Even a little "I heard from a friend, who heard from a friend" would be fine with me. I've got no idea about a reputation for these guys. |

I googled them up and looked at their web site. It looks like a kids summer camp language program.
Have you any experience with Russia? |

| Yeah, I spent last year in Russia. Not quite sure why I want to go back. I checked their website too, though I can't say I got the same impression. |

There's an Irish, English and Scottish pub here in Ekaterinburg.  Come on over and I'll get you a drink, mdk!

| "Orange Language Centre is a small, friendly school located right in the centre of beautiful St. Petersburg. Currently employing 15 teachers to do work both onsite and in-company we are looking to expand in the near future. Courses are generally with adults in small groups (maximum 10) across all levels in general and business English. We also have a number of individual clients, exam preparation courses, conversation classes, children's language camps and a children's English language drama group, so there is something to suit the interests of most teachers. We have also been expanding our work with corporate clients, hosting business skills seminars in conjunction with a local newspaper." |
This is from the net. They are situated on Nevsky Prospect and seem to pay a good salary. They teach all levels, not just kids.

I hope this helps. They seem to be a good school. Of course nothing is better than speaking to a teacher at the school, which they should let you do.
