We start with the basics, learn the Cyrillic alphabet, and the many (over a thousand) words that you can immediately read, understand, and use. Until you reach the first level A1, as certified by TORFL, which allows you to:

1. Meet your basic communicative needs in a limited number of everyday life situations.
2. Understand and use basic expressions to meet elementary concrete needs (in shops, post offices, banks, restaurants, libraries, in class, on public transport, at the doctor's, etc.).
3. The ability to introduce yourself and others, ask and answer questions about personal details related to where you live, work, or study; ability to provide information about relatives or friends and the objects you own.
4. Use greeting and farewell formulas, courtesy phrases, wishes, thanks, and apologies.
5. Ask for and communicate the time.
6. Interact with a Russian-speaking interlocutor, as long as they speak slowly, clearly, and are willing to cooperate.
Happy studying!
Yula 😘

Meet Yula, your #RussianLanguage teacher

I'm a professional language teacher and linguist -- I obtained a Ph.D. Doctorate in Linguistics and taught at the University of Rostov. Born and raised in Russia, I also studied in America, England, Italy, and briefly lived in Tenerife, Spain. In England, I obtained the CELTA teaching certification from the University of Cambridge.

In addition to Russian, my mother tongue, I speak English, Italian, and German fluently and am currently studying Spanish.

Why choose a polyglot teacher?

Having learned many languages, I'm familiar with the challenges and know how to help you overcome them easily! In this course, I will guide you, hand in hand, as you discover my native Russian language. Are you ready for the adventure? ✈️
