Il tuo messaggio pasquale è molto bello ed anche ben fatto, sei proprio una brava regista. Hai comunicato la tua emozione. Inoltre io ho capito tutto anche perché le parole importante le hai scritte e a me servono per non dimenticare il Russo.

Con affetto, Piero

Time to speak Russian is the greatest, the funniest and the most complete online platform to learn Russian, to practice (in case you already know the language) and also to teach Russian (if you are a teacher looking for resources and ideas). So many teaching tools! So user-friendly! So much energy and enthusiasm! I especially enjoy the Instagram shorts by prof. Ania Petanova. Any free minute I have, be it at work or whereever, I check my Instagram and there is almost every day something new to grab easily and quickly. Time to speak Russian is more than just learning a foreign language. It also provides a space for a full inmersion into the Russian culture and history! I just love it so much!

I started to study Russian 5 months ago because I moved to Moscow for my job. I thought it was going to be not only tough but also boring. After 5 months studying with Time to speak Russian and with Anna as a teacher, I changed my mind: yes, it's still difficult and it needs a hard work to learn, but their method, based on a mix of real everyday situations, funny stories and grammar explanations, helps in making the whole thing very interesting and pushes you to go on with your efforts.

I started learning Russian in January 2023 with Anna. I find her very professional, precise and very passionate about teaching. She uses a website designed by her and her colleagues which I find very well designed amd helpful. She provides her students with extra exercises plus the ones already existing on the website. Anna also has been giving me tips on where to visit and where to eat. If you want to learn the Russian Language, I'll strongly recommend Anna Petanova.

Уважаемые авторы проекта "Время говорить по-русски"! С наступающим Новым годом! Ваши замечательные видео очень помогают моим студентам лучше узнать Россию. Мы с огромным удовольствием и с большой пользой смотрим все ваши ролики на занятиях в Русском центре Университета Дамаска (Сирия). На предновогоднем занятии вместе с вами побывали на экскурсии по фабрике ёлочных игрушек и в конце занятия приготовили для вас новогоднюю открытку. Жаль только, что не можем её сюда прикрепить.

I have been studying with Anna for several months now and have seen a significant improvement in my speaking, reading, and writing ability.Becoming fluent in Russian is extremely important to me so I am very excited and appreciative that Anna has helped me so much. She is very organized and has various texts and materials at her disposal. My favorite thing about her is her ability to find all of the holes in my knowledge and address them directly. If I am struggling with a particular grammar concept, she can find me the appropriate and relevant passage in any textbook almost immediately. Anna is also unfailingly professional, warm and kind. I enjoy our lessons immensely and hope to meet her in person someday when the current political climate allows. Whether you are a beginner or much more advanced, I wholeheartedly recommend Anna!

Sincerely,

    I’m very happy with my current teacher, Yulia. She is a fantastic instructor—extremely patient and attentive to my interests. She consistently prepares topics and exercises that align with my preferences, and our speaking practice has been particularly beneficial. I can confidently say that I’ve made great progress under her guidance... I find her teaching stye highly effective.
