Master the Basics of Phonetics: Speak Russian Confidently from Day 1

Von 18.99 € /Std

Are you ready to unlock the Russian language? The secret to success lies in a strong foundation. In this lesson, we will focus on the most important part of starting any language: Phonetics and Pronunciation.

What makes this lesson special? I don’t use boring textbooks. Instead, I use exclusive presentations with rich illustrative materials. These visual aids help you create mental associations, making it much easier to memorize the Cyrillic alphabet and complex sounds. What we will do together:

The Alphabet & Beyond: We’ll cover the letters, but more importantly, the sounds they make in real speech.

Articulation Training: As a professional philologist, I will show you exactly how to produce those "tricky" Russian sounds like 'ы', 'ж', 'щ' or the difference between hard and soft consonants.

Visual Learning: My bright and clear slides will guide you through every step, ensuring you don’t feel overwhelmed.

First Words: You will leave the lesson knowing how to read basic words and introduce yourself.
Who is this for?

For absolute beginners: no prior knowledge required.

Materials provided: I provide all necessary materials: a copy of the presentation, links to video or audio materials, and homework (if you choose to complete it).

Zusätzliche Informationen

Please have your laptop with the camera open. No prior preparation is required.

Приятного аппетита! О еде, вкусах и здоровых привычках (B1)

19.25 € /Std

Bon Appétit: Food, Flavors, and Lifestyle (Level B1)
This lesson goes beyond the menu. We will explore how language describes our physical changes, the nuances of taste, and the colorful idioms Russians use when talking about food and personality.

🎯 Who is this lesson for?
Level: B1 (Intermediate).

Students who want to sound more natural by using common idioms.

Learners interested in topics of health, nutrition, and lifestyle.

What will we cover?
Word Formation: How to turn adjectives into verbs of change. For example: худой → похудеть (thin → to lose weight), толстый → потолстеть (fat → to gain weight), старый → постареть.

The Science of Food: Understanding nutrition labels in Russian. We will study белки (proteins), жиры (fats), and углеводы (carbohydrates).

Flavors & Sensations: Descriptive vocabulary for tastes (bitter, sour, spicy) and how to use the verbs «удалось» (managed to) and «пришлось» (had to) in a culinary context.

Idioms & Expressions: Master vivid phrases like:

Свежий как огурчик (Fresh as a daisy/cucumber).

Ни рыба ни мясо (Neither fish nor fowl — about a person).

С кислым лицом (With a sour face — looking unhappy).

Teaching Methodology and Materials

Lexical Approach: We focus on how words are transformed and combined in real-life speech.

Discussion: Tell us about your diet: what you had to give up and what you managed to achieve.

Город или деревня? (А1+- А2) Cравниваем по-русски.

18.99 € /Std

Level: A2 (Pre-Intermediate/Basic).

It is perfect for students who have a grasp of basic Russian but want to move beyond simple phrases and start comparing objects, describing locations, and expressing opinions.

Vocabulary Expansion: We will learn and practice essential antonyms used to describe surroundings, such as noisy/quiet (шумный/тихий), expensive/cheap (дорогой/дешёвый), and crowded/empty (многолюдный/пустой).

Grammar Focus: We will master the comparative degree of adjectives (e.g., better, cleaner, more comfortable), which is vital for everyday communication at the A2 level.

Speaking Practice: You will participate in a discussion about the pros and cons of city versus country living and create your own "ideal living situation" ranking.

Communicative Approach: My goal is to get you speaking! I prioritize active conversation, where 70% of the lesson time is dedicated to your output.

Interactive Materials: We will use visual aids, flashcards, and short situational dialogues to make learning intuitive and help you memorize new words faster.

Supportive Environment: I provide gentle corrections and help you find the right words to build your confidence in speaking Russian.

Required Skills
To get the most out of this lesson, you should be familiar with the Russian alphabet, know how to read, and be able to construct basic sentences in the Present Tense. Don't worry about making mistakes with endings—at the A2 level, this is part of the process, and we will work on them together!

Dear student/Querido alumno

My name is Denise I’m a Mexican Spanish as Foreign Language tutor (ELE Español Lengua Extranjera as acronym) certified by "Escuela Internacional Cervantes" with a Bachelor in Spanish Literature by the University of Nuevo León Mexico (UANL).

I started teaching and tutoring Spanish at a very young age helping my colleagues from High School achieve better scores and later I formalize this activity while finishing my university studies.
For the last seven years, I’ve been teaching Spanish in America and Europe to a broad variety of students: children/teenage tutoring, in-company adult students, online orientation and freelance translation for diverse projects.

I follow a flexible method adapting to the student’s level and personal goals.
During our classes the student will receive exercises, activities and extra resources as a plus for their class time.
My tools are diverse: textbooks, videos, podcast, newspapers, etc.
We can also discuss politics, arts, fashion or your favorite topic in order to develop your verbal or grammatical skills.

I invite you to contact me so we can achieve our learning goals together.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.
