What our students say about us
Katalin Forró
Beginner, Pre-intermediate, and Intermediate Russian courses;
Russian-speaking clubs
I had been postponing the moment to start studying Russian seriously since childhood, but taking this online language course has been a very nice experience for me. Annamaria and Nina, our instructors, are well-prepared and genuinely enthusiastic teachers. They present their expertise in a way that is both clear and engaging. The lessons are effectively organized, and they provide online platforms for both collaborative and independent study, enhancing the overall learning experience.

The lessons are well-structured. It is fun to learn with them! I appreciate their unique, playful, and creative approach. The classes maintain a pleasant atmosphere, featuring plenty of pair work and a well-balanced mix of grammar and conversation assignments, along with cultural immersion. Every student finds themselves in real-life communication situations and has the opportunity to practice and ask questions.

The lessons are not only instructive but also filled with tips, ideas, and recommendations (books, tests, dictionaries, learning platforms, etc.) for practicing at home. Boredom is never a concern, and the teachers go the extra mile by organizing various online and offline activities during the summer break to keep the learning experience enjoyable. 😊

The success of the educational process depends on both parties involved, and Nina and Annamaria make lots of different assignments and exercises, like a big 'all-you-can-eat buffet.' It's evident how much effort, time, and energy they've invested. Our role is to absorb the knowledge and actively participate in the process, turning it into a genuine learning experience.

I am optimistic that in 1-2 years, I will proudly say that I have succeeded in speaking Russian! 😊

Я с детства откладывала момент, чтобы начать, наконец, серьёзно заниматься русским языком.

Несмотря на то, что я никогда раньше не посещала языковые курсы онлайн, мне это очень нравится. Аннамария и Нина – хорошо подготовленные и по-настоящему увлечённые преподаватели, они передают свои знания в понятной и интересной форме. Они хорошо распределяют время на уроке и предлагают онлайн-платформы, где можно эффективно учиться вместе или самостоятельно.

Уроки хорошо структурированы. Учиться интересно! Мне нравится необычный игровой, творческий подход. На занятиях царит приятная атмосфера, много парной работы и идеальный баланс грамматических и разговорных заданий с погружением в культуру. Все студенты оказываются в ситуации реального общения, у каждого есть возможность практиковаться и задавать вопросы.
Во время уроков даётся много советов, идей и рекомендаций (книг, тестов, словарей, образовательных платформ и т.д.) для занятий дома. Скучать не приходится ни минуты. 😊

Летом, когда нет занятий, преподаватели проводят различные онлайн- и офлайн-мероприятия, которые помогают учиться и развлекаться!

Образовательный процесс, как и многие вещи в жизни, зависят от обеих сторон. Нина и Аннамария собрали настоящий «шведский стол» из заданий и упражнений: можно почувствовать, сколько труда, времени и энергии они вложили в них. Нам остаётся только впитывать знания и принимать активное участие в этом процессе, чтобы это стало настоящим опытом обучения.

Надеюсь, что через 1-2 года я смогу сказать, что у меня всё получилось, и я говорю по-русски! 😊

The classes at Fortochki have a truly laid-back atmosphere, the exercises are taken from real-life situations and packed with terms and expressions from the present-day Russian language. Annamaria and Nina are dedicated teachers to guide you through grammar, vocabulary and the rich cultural heritage of Russia. Also, the girls provide you with all sorts of easy-to-use language material to improve your oral and writing skills, vocabulary, and general command of the Russian language. I can strongly recommend getting a taste of Fortochki's way of learning the Russian language.

Russian slang and memes course
Nina and Annamaria are the most remarkable professors!

I took a course on memes and slang. The course was just fire! There are just a few courses like this, that's why this one was even more precious. Nina and Annamaria created a great atmosphere in the classes, and I looked forward to each new lesson. We learned new vocabulary and a lot about Russian culture, and such knowledge is not taught anywhere.

Thank you both for a great course, I'm looking forward to more courses!

Greetings from Zagreb ♥♥

Нина и Аннамария – самые замечательные профессора!

Я прошла курс по мемам и сленгу. Курс был просто огонь! Существует мало таких курсов, поэтому этот был еще более драгоценен. Нина и Аннамария устроили классную атмосферу на занятиях, и я с нетерпением ждала каждое новое занятие. Мы узнали новую лексику и многое о русской культуре, а таким знаниям не учат нигде.

Спасибо вам обеим за великолепный курс, я с радостью жду новые курсы!

Private classes with Nina
What I liked the most about learning with you is that you were always prepared and chose the material based on my knowledge. I have learnt many new things which are useful in everyday speech and not just something that exists in textbooks. You were patient with me even though I was struggling with speech and you also encouraged me throughout. Your knowledge and teaching experience is no doubt enormous. If anybody needs a good Russian teacher I will be sure to recommend you!
Pre-intermediate Russian course
I really loved the Russian classes with Panni and Nyina.
They offer so many modern & playful ways of language learning methods while they are always there for the team (I can honestly say in 0-24 hours). You can always count on them!🙂
They encourage and can give you also personalized extra tasks to practice, they appreciate your efforts.
I also liked my teams, which I attended - the guys were always cooperating, helpful and kind.
...and I still didn't give up to come back to Nyina' and Panni's Russian classes!😊 (Not to mention, how interesting they could make them!)
