Some more feedback:

"My name is Ekaterina, I am a 4th year student of the direction “Foreign Regional Studies”. For four years now I have been studying one of the most difficult languages in the world: Chinese.

It was hard at first. Learning Chinese seemed unrealistic. There were minutes when I could give up, quit everything and leave. But now I can say with confidence and joy: it is possible to learn this language from scratch!

China is an interesting country with a thousand-year history and culture. Studying opens the door to an amazing world. As a result, I got what I dreamed about. I was captivated not only by the language, but also by the atmosphere in which I lived these four years. Teachers passed invaluable knowledge in a friendly, “home” environment, we felt like in a large and friendly family! Classes were productive and at the same time insanely exciting."

"My name is Anna, I am 18 years old. In 2019, I entered the first year in the direction “Foreign Regional Studies” with the profile “Study of regions and Asian countries” (Vietnamese)

"My decision was based on the fact that the Institute of Oriental Studies students are offered a highly specialized program. This reduces the time spent cramming unnecessary information, but special attention is paid to language lectures. It's nice that there is the opportunity to communicate and learn culture with a native speaker.

The program cannot be called very complex, but it contains all the basic knowledge that a competent regional specialist should have."

...

"My name is Nastya, and one year of my studies at the Institute of Oriental Studies in the field of foreign regional studies with a Chinese profile has already passed.

What conclusions did I draw during the year? In terms of the quality of knowledge received by students, it is in no way inferior to the leading universities of the country. FEFU can be proud of its teaching staff. These are amazing people with a talent for teaching! unimaginable love for students, willingness to tell and show everything, patience - evoke genuine love of students for both the teacher and the subject that he leads"
