Course Description

I am offering a Russian language crash course making it easy and enjoyable for you to learn this language.  

What other people wrote about my course:

“Many thanks to Dr Chakirova for an excellent introduction to the Russian language. Engaging instruction and plenty of content.”

“Not only was this course engaging but it also met most of my expectations. Thankfully, the speed at which the course was conducted was quite slow and therefore, easily understandable. Thank you for conducting this course, Dr. Chakirova. :)”

“Dr. Chakirova is a very good instructor, and she doesn't shy away from introducing the Cyrillic alphabet at the beginning, so we learn to read the language along with starting to speak it. Very nice indeed!”

“I achieved what I set out to learn from this course which was get a good introduction to the Russian language. This course kept my attention and the handouts are really great. The production quality is excellent throughout.”

“This course is wonderful. I appreciate all the time and effort that the instructor, Dr Goultchira Chakirova put into the course and all the resource materials. Thank you"

“Great introduction! Lessons started with the alphabet (letter names and pronunciation), and moved on to useful words and a few phrases. Just enough grammar to help those who want to progress to Level II and beyond, but not enough to confuse beginners. Cпасибо!”

I hope you will enjoy learning Russian and will find my course useful and interesting. So, let’s get started with Russian for Beginners level I!

Instructor Details

Goultchira Chakirova

I am a doctor, programmer, teacher, blogger, writer, and a scientist. My background is in Medicine (Medical Degree and specialty training in Psychiatry (The Novosibirsk State Medical University, Russia)) and Neuroimaging (MSc in Neuroscience Research (Distinction) and PhD in Psychiatry (Department of Psychiatry of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK).

There are two areas that I am really passionate about: medicine and languages. All my activities revolve around those fields. This is why I founded the Hippocrates Medical Academy (HMA). It is through this organization that I wish to share my knowledge and experience with you. I am organizing medical and language courses including Latin and Russian. I wish to teach you Russian because Russian is my native language, I believe it is reach and beautiful, and the knowledge of Russian language will provide you with access to an incredible Russian culture and mentality. I will also be making a Latin language course because of the widespread use of this language in medicine.

I hope you will enjoy learning and I would love to hear from you.

Very good, but if the presenter spoke quiet slowly, the lesson would have been more effective. Thank you!

By Camilla Pollitt on 11/28/2017

I've learned Russian before in school, but never got really into it. When I decided to meet up some friends from Russia, this course seemed really helpful to simply learn some basic words. With a bit of former knowledge this course is very nice to refresh your skills in the language.

By Jennie on 8/20/2017

The teacher has a beautiful soft voice which is easy to listen to and learn from. The material is presented clearly and in an easy to follow manner, with clear repetitions of Russian words for learners.

A great course teaching dialogue useful for everyday Russian speaking. Delivered in an eloquent manner with both the English and Russian spoken words.
