FAQ

  • Do I need to have any background knowledge to enroll into this course?

    Yes, you need at least to know some basics of Russian alphabet. You can watch my free video lesson on YouTube.

  • There are lots of free video lessons on YouTube. Why should I pay for your course?

    Yes, there are lots of free lessons on YouTube and other platforms, but they provide only traditional techniques to improve Russian pronunciation (from Russian textbooks), which are really useless in practice. In this course, I apply really effective and practical techniques already tested on many students. Moreover, my course include ALL possible and impossible topics on Russian pronunciation. The course is well-structured and provides fun and effective exercises to make you sound like a Russian.

  • Am I on my own during the course? Is there any support and feedback?

    Sure, I will guide you during the whole course. You will be able to send me any questions, tasks and I will send you my feedback via email or WhatsApp. In addition, in the end of the course, we will have a Skype meeting to celebrate your results and see what you can do next to improve it.

  • Why is this course so expensive?

    This course includes 5 parts with lessons that constitute over 10 hours of video lecture. You have an access to this course for 3 months and you will be able to get daily feedback from me. Believe me, individual courses with a teacher will not only cost you much more expensive but will also give you less results as the majority of Russian language teachers use techniques from Russian textbooks that are only good in theory.
