Fortochki Russian
with Nina and Annamaria

At Fortochki Russian, you can choose from group courses and private classes online. Your teachers are Nina and Annamaria.

Why would you choose an online group course instead of an offline private one?

  • We like using modern technologies: interactive desks, online tests, videos, flashcards, learning applications, and so on.
  • If you miss a class for any reason, you can watch the recording and catch up on the material you missed.
  • In this way, people from different parts of the world gather at our courses to speak Russian and exchange their knowledge, experiences, and emotions.

If you hesitate, read what our students say about us, watch our online materials, listen to our podcast, and feel free to contact us.
