Real Russian, explained by a native tutor.

I’m Nastya. I help you start speaking Russian and understanding native speakers, with the words people really use.

Nastya, Russian tutor Приве́т!

My goalМоя́ цель

A place where Russian is easy and quick to learn, so you can start speaking as soon as possible and actually understand native speakers.

My whole approach fits into three Russian words. Here they are, the way they look in my materials:

SafeЛегко́[ likh-KO ]easyЭ́то легко́!It’s easy!On this site: Clear explanations and simple tables, no academic jargon.
SafeБы́стро[ BYS-tra ]quickly, fastЯ бы́стро учу́ слова́.I learn words quickly.On this site: Short lessons you can use the same day.
SafeПо-настоя́щему[ pa-na-sta-YA-shi-mu ]for realЯ хочу́ говори́ть по-настоя́щему.I want to speak for real.On this site: The Russian people actually speak, slang included.
New every week

I’m still building this site and add new materials every week. Don’t forget to come back and check what’s new!

Two things matter most

In my view, learning a language comes down to two things: grammar and speaking. My whole approach is built on them.

Грамма́тика

Grammar, quick and easy

Learn the rules fast, without the pain, and put them to use in real life straight away.

What students say

“I bought the 100 Russian Words in 4 Weeks course and I love it. It's really easy to practise and learn new words and phrases. My favourite part is that I can read and listen to dialogues with the new words straight away.”

“Buying the slang pack was a great idea. I've been learning Russian for a long time, but 80% of these words were new to me, because I'd always studied from textbooks. I want to have real conversations, and for that I need slang. Thank you so much!”

“Nastya, thank you for the course. The audio is the best part: you have a lovely voice, and I love that I can practise copying a native speaker's pronunciation.”
