This was a very enjoyable and useful lesson. I learned some more words and inflections that I might not have uncovered on my own. I clarified some aspectual and other semantic distinctions in Russian verbs of motion. I will always return for more informative lessons with this instructor.

Really great introductory Russian lesson. Mike gave a realistic and positive perspective on learning the language to fluency, the atmosphere in the session was relaxed and conversational; Mike is supportive and presents the subject matter very clearly and with evident enthusiasm & knowledge. I will absolutely be returning for many more classes to come!
