What my students say
Great course
Great course, one of my best investments. This course has grown my confidence and given me a strong foundation in grammar. The content is fantastic for visual learners.
The lessons are well composed
The lessons are well composed with great examples. For example, you explain what the accusative case is, provide a table of words then present examples how to apply the case in a sentence.
This makes me feel as if you are here in my study.
Hello Zhanna,
I will do this. I like the quiz at the end of the lessons because it sums up the lesson with key points in simple form and words. I really appreciate you answering and following up with your student’s questions. This makes me feel as if you are here in my study. Thanks.
My Russian sounds more natural and seems to be understood and accepted in my area.
I have enjoyed the logical progression of the course. Mixing the grammatical lessons with the conversational is nice because I can use what I have learned in small conversations with people who live near me.
Because of you teaching what is formal, informal and commonly used, my Russian sounds more natural and seems to be understood and accepted in my area.
I would tell someone who wants to learn Russian that your course is very logical and enjoyable. The lessons have useful homework and notes. As long as they are willing to study and practice the will be able to begin speaking quickly and sound natural. By learning greeting and small phrases it makes it enjoyable because you are able to begin communicating.

Zhanna needs to change her rating system of 5 stars to a BILLION! And she would still get a trillion stars from me.
