💡 Why Choose a Flexible Schedule? This class is perfect for learners with busy schedules or those who prefer learning at their own pace.
🌟 No live meetings—learners can complete assignments anytime throughout the week!
💡 Pro Tip: Spread out the work over the week to maximize retention and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
📌 A Note for Parents:
This class is not for beginners. Learners should already be comfortable with the Russian alphabet. If your learner is not comfortable with it yet, please consider enrolling in my class that covers the whole Russian alphabet.
