My name is Ina, and I’m your Russian teacher. I was born in the same city where the famous artist Marc Chagall grew up and created his art, in Belarus.

I really enjoy teaching Russian, and like you, I also study other languages. For over 10 years, I taught languages (Russian, German, and English) at a German school in Germany. My goal is to share methods with you that make learning Russian easier, more natural, and engaging! Learning a language also means learning its culture. The topic of Russian culture is highly relevant in my YouTube videos as well as in my lessons. Guided by my approach to teaching Russian in context and an engaging manner, over the past years, I have developed several online courses and simplified Chekhov’s story.
