Большое спасибо тебе, дорогая Христина.
Христина очень терпеливая, веселая, и испытанная. За три года мы прочитали стихи и книги, обсудили о фильмах, сериалах и новостях, и поиграли много игры. Мне так повезло что, я нашел Христину.

Another great lesson with Khristina. I am continuously amazed at the level of detail we can go into during our lessons when she explains complex grammar topics. I always feel I leave the class knowing more of the Russian language and leave feeling l excited that I actually understood the grammar which is all explained in examples. Khristina is patient, very good at providing history to any topic we discuss and enthusiastic about teaching her native language. The lessons go by so quickly! Thank you for making Russian such a joy to learn!
