This is a fantastic course for beginners wishing to learn how to write Russian cursive. I have been learning Russian from a textbook for a while, but became slightly frustrated by the fact that I couldn't seem to find a good resource - online or in a book - for learning how to connect Russian letters as they are written. This course helped me out immensely and has allowed me to begin forming words as Russians themselves write them, rather than relying on the printed capital letters that are used in my textbook. This course has been immensely helpful, and, I must say, very enjoyable as well. Thank you!

Instructor Bio
Hello, Russian language lovers,
My name is Olga, and I’m a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language.
I’m here to show you that learning Russian can be fun and easy.
I have a certificate in Teaching methodology and thousands of hours of teaching practice that means that I can explain everything in a simple way.
In 2014, I met an exchange student from the US. She told me that she is looking for a language teacher. It was my dream to teach Russian. These classes made me understand that I want to make teaching Russian as a Foreign Language my profession and several months later I got a certificate in Teaching Methodology.
This gave me an opportunity to make an input in creating Preparatory Faculty for International Students in a university. There I gave classes to the students from African, Middle Eastern, and European countries. In such diverse group I saw the importance of development of intercultural competence at the lessons. This topic was addressed in my Master’s dissertation.
I am also proud to be a participant of the educational program Ambassadors or Russian language in the world.
I invite you to an exciting journey deep into Russian culture and look forward to introducing you to the beauty of the Russian language.
