Your teacher
Hi, I am Liza
A real Russian teacher and cultural insider, here to make Russian feel simple through the Simple Russian Method.
My story
I grew up in Belarus, where we speak Russian. A few years ago I went on a trip to Bali, got stuck there when the world closed for the pandemic, and I have been travelling and teaching online ever since.
Teaching Russian to foreigners is what I do every day. I get the same questions in almost every lesson - and that is exactly why I started writing simple guides and books: so the answers are in one friendly place, in plain English, the way I would explain them to a friend.
The Simple Russian Method
Conversations first. Grammar when it helps. Speaking from day one.
Conversations first
You start with short real Russian sentences, not with a wall of grammar theory.
Grammar when it helps
I show you what a sentence is doing first, then the rule finally has a reason.
Speak from day one
You say small useful lines early, before you feel perfect.
Real life, no grammar wall
People, family, food, culture, travel and the Russian you will actually use, kept simple and warm.
What I have written
“A good and effective teacher. The best one I know.”
