Russian, from zero to B1A1

С нуля́ до B1Russian, from zero to B1

A 76-week course for adults: three short lessons a week, two live sessions with your tutor, and a level check at the end of A1, A2 and B1.

Lessons done: 0 of 3 published so far.

How the course works

You test yourself every lesson

Each lesson ends with a short questionnaire. Pulling an answer from memory teaches more than reading it again.

Nothing fades

Three questions in every quiz come back from earlier lessons, so old material keeps getting practised.

Every answer is explained

Right or wrong, you see why, and each lesson ends with one clear next step.

Speaking happens live

The lessons prepare you. The two weekly sessions with Екатерина are for speaking and correction.

One picture per week

A single plate shows the whole week at a glance, and every lesson repeats it as text.

Real exam targets

Each level closes with an exam-style check at the official TORFL pass mark of 66%.
