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

18.91 € /h

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).

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).

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

My name is Daniel. I was raised bilingual with the Dutch and Portuguese language. I can also communicate well in English.

I have actively worked with these languages both during my education and at work and in my private life. Switching between these 3 languages is no problem for me. I have been teaching since 2019 for various schools as well as privately.

From my own experience I have experienced how lost you can sometimes feel as a person in a foreign language environment. Therefore, I give tutoring / language lessons Dutch -and Portuguese to (still) non-Dutch/Portuguese speaking persons. I have the possibility to teach online.

My focus is on communication and fluency, so that the student will quickly feel at home within the new (language) environment and will be able to express himself. Different teaching materials can be used during the lesson, according to the needs and level of the student.

Heeft jouw kind moeite met een bepaald vak of wil hij/zij extra oefenen voor de doorstroomtoets, CITO of IEP? Misschien is leren lastig door ADHD, dyslexie of een ander leerprobleem. Ik help graag om jouw kind weer met meer zelfvertrouwen te laten leren!

Na jaren als groepsleerkracht (groep 1 t/m 8) te hebben gewerkt geef ik nu online begeleiding en bijles aan leerlingen die net dat beetje extra hulp nodig hebben. Met mijn ervaring en vakkennis bied ik persoonlijke ondersteuning bij verschillende vakken en help ik kinderen goed voorbereid naar de middelbare school.

Persoonlijk
Elke les is 100% afgestemd op het niveau, de (leer)behoefte en de leerstijl van de leerling: spelenderwijs, met meer herhaling of juist veel afwisseling. Jij als ouder blijft altijd betrokken: na elke les ontvang je een korte terugkoppeling en we bespreken regelmatig de voortgang.

Deskundig
Tijdens - en vooral ook na - mijn jaren als groepsleerkracht in het basisonderwijs heb ik veel (vak)didactische en pedagogische kennis opgedaan. Mijn aanpak is theoretisch onderbouwd. Ik werk met gestructureerde materialen, ben op de hoogte van de verschillende lesmethodes die op school gebruikt worden en blijf zelf ook leren.

Visueel
Veel kinderen begrijpen en onthouden beter als ze het kunnen zien. Vaak helpt een schema, een tekening of een afbeelding heel erg om iets te begrijpen. Door middel van 'visual thinking' worden dingen inzichtelijk en onthoud je het ook beter! In mijn online lessen delen we daarom samen een virtueel whiteboard, waar we allebei aantekeningen op kunnen maken.

Doelgericht
Volgens het principe Leren Zichtbaar Maken neem ik leerlingen mee in hun leerproces. Samen zoeken we uit welke leerdoelen al goed gaan en welke nog niet zijn behaald. Ik maak een plan van aanpak met daarin gerichte oefeningen, strategieën en ondersteuning, afgestemd op de behoeften van je kind. Aan het begin van elke les bespreken we aan welke doelen we gaan werken en gedurende de les kijken we daarop terug.

I am a French teacher (with a degree in French and Romance languages and literatures with a focus on teaching). I support young people from across the French-speaking world (Switzerland, Belgium, France) in their academic journey to help them achieve better results in French and, above all, gain more self-confidence.

I work with both native teenagers and foreign students living in French-speaking countries.

I adapt to the curriculum, exams and assessments provided by their school.

Looking forward to meeting your children,
Regards,
Laurie
