Maria Komarova

Great lesson with Maria! We started with small talk about shopping for groceries and for Christmas gifts. Maria had a presentation ready all about food. We talked about eating habits and about the food we like/don't like. I learned a lot of new vocabulary. Maria does a really nice job updating our shared document with new and useful vocabulary and sentences. She always helps me out when I don't know a word and is easygoing when I make a mistake!

Great lesson with Maria! We started with small talk, and I talked about my neighbor. Maria asked me if I watched any of the cartoons that she sent me, and we talked about the "new Prostakvashna" that had I started watching. After that, we continued going through the presentation that Maria created about "house/home". Maria was very patient and helpful while I was talking and helping me with the correct word (or giving hints) when I needed it!

Excellent lesson with Maria! We talked about the "Простоквашино" cartoon. We also finished going through Maria's presentation on "animals". Lessons with Maria are really helping because she is very patient as I try to work out what to say sometimes and she is always positive and supportive!

Great lesson with Maria! We started with small talk about family gatherings and personalities. After that, I described the "new Prostokvashno" cartoon that I continued to watch. It was not easy to do, but Maria helped me with grammar and vocabulary. Maria is doing great at helping me practice speaking and becoming more comfortable/natural!

Super lesson with Maria! We started by talking about the "Зима в Простоквашино" cartoon that I watched. Maria asked me a lot of different questions about it. After that, Maria showed a presentation that she created about "homes". Maria was very patient while I paused to come up with the appropriate word to say, which really keeps the stress down and makes me feel more at ease!

Had another chance to improve my spoken vocabulary with Maria. She helped out in an excellent way with pronunciation matters and extended our joint document with new glossary and idioms from today's class. Focus put on exams, admission processes and professions.
