Live Russian Group Classes

10 Weeks of Weekly 1-Hour Classes with 5 Students Max

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could just take an actual Russian class,” this is the closest thing… except you can do it from home.

You’ll meet live with a native Russian teacher and a small group of other learners. Since the classes are small, you’re not just sitting there listening. Speak Russian, ask questions, practice conversations, and get corrections right away when you make mistakes.

Here’s how the Live Group Classes work:

Before class: You get assignments to complete before your live session.
During class: You get to practice speaking, ask questions, and get feedback in real time.
After class: You get feedback from your teacher so you know what to work on before the next class.

If you enjoy learning with others while receiving instruction from a real teacher, live group classes are a great option for you.
