My name is Irina, I teach Russian on private lessons for 2 years. I'm not a professional language teacher, but teaching (and learning) languages became my passion. I always take an individual approach in teaching, and have a keen interest in developing training aids and learning materials, which would serve the needs of a student in the best way. If you already learn Russian, I could provide a good spoken practice, or help you to correct a text you need to write, for example, an essay. By education I'm a physicist, and I've also completed a course of additional professional education (entrepreneur activity in scientific-technical sphere). I graduated from State University of Nizhny Novgorod (Russia) in 1998. I create different learning materials (tables, schemes, mindmaps, texts, audios, videos) - everything, what can help my students to understand the lesson, to memorize the rules and words, and to refresh their knowledge in memory, when needed. My native language is Russian, I also speak fluent English and good German (B1 Zertifikat Deutsch level). Except teaching Russian, I can offer some spoken practice in English and help with German grammar till B1 level for Russian- or English-speaking students. An example of my learning materials (a video) can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqDLDfYoO2o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSVVErI-5uA Communication channels will be added in a short time. Right now if you have any questions or would like to take some lessons, please write me to email: [email protected]

    Time to love A short story. Some thoughts about life. I would be grateful for correction of my mistakes in this text. No doubt, there is time to love. Love, friendly heart warmth, understanding, compassion – that are the true treasures of our earthly life. Different feelings flow through our heart in a stream, but love is indeed the key to the power and wonders of the Universe. It warms and opens our hearts, through love we gain the strength to accomplish for our loved ones something, what we maybe couldn’t do for ourselves. Love is that very basis, energy, powerful force, which penetrates and holds together everything in the Universe. Human is given the freedom to choose, he is granted an honorable role of co-creator in this world. When heart is open and clear, love lives in it and flows from it generously, like a crystal pure stream – and it will never grow scarce, because the source of this love is the energy of the whole Universe. And it seeks the possibility to express itself – to create, to bring joy, warmth and tenderness, to say beautiful words, to bestow gifts and to share generously the miracle-working power of its love. How possibly such a source could grow scarce?.. Loving heart is the most precious treasure of the Universe, its most generous gift, since it is the key to its boundless power and might. Loving heart can make miracles and dispel the strongest darkness, like the sun, which flared up in the night. Love is like water, which always finds its way. There are thousands of ways to express it. Loving heart leads us on the true way. Loving heart is the most reliable compass of the Universe. No doubt, there is time to love. And this time is our whole life.

    Basic Greeting and Introduction In Russian

    Здравствуй! Меня зовут Освальд (Oswald), приятно познакомитЬся.

    Hi, Oswald! Good start:) By the way, if you want to greet a group of persons (for example, entering a classroom), the first word would be "здравствуйте" (plural). When you address to one person, it's "здравствуй". 

    I wish you success in learning Russian! :)

    Some years ago I was learning German and at the same time trying to improve my English. It was interesting, although demanding. I think translating, for example, one phrase or text from the languages you learn into the native language was a good practice. One of my students used cards to memorize words: she wrote a word in Russian, French, German and English. And absolutely agreed with Lora: strong motivation is very important.

    You can start from alphabet. Maybe this video can be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqDLDfYoO2o It shows block and handwritten letters, and the way to write by hand, as we learn it in school.

    Yes, you understand it right. I would say, it is an advice to avoid the adventures if possible.

    I'm agreed, that learning process goes much easier, if you have some funny materials, some games and small stories, which make you smile. For example, while learning German, I found it very interesting to read some anecdots, illustrating certain grammar rules and constructions. One more technique, which I found helpful, was that what I call "key phrases": you firmly learn the whole phrase, which illustrates, for example, the correct use of a verb or word combination (case of the noun or pronoun, preposition, if required, etc.), with exact understanding, why this phrase is constructed so. Then, when it comes to the use of this construction, but with other words, the phrase you've learnt comes to your mind and serves as a template to bulid a phrase you need. In my learning practice this method of memorization gave me better results than just learning words. You can try as well to use color marks to denote, for example, grammatical gender of the nouns.
