Hello, world.

Yelena here, greeting all fellow fascinated wanderers amidst the global (mis)communication.

I am fluent in two languages, my native Russian and English. Yes, I am one of many who struggled with English spelling&grammar. Oh, THE bane of Russian students, those confounding articles... It was hard and boring. At first. Did not grasp all that on my second try either. Yet love and effort conquer all.

Now I know the way, how to go about learning a language, how to boost motivation, get results, keep improving. And enjoy the fruits of your effort.

Does it make sense to you? Hopefully, my writings are intelligible enough. Thank you for reading my excited ramblings, by the way. So, if by any chance you feel similar pains in the arduous process of language learning... ok, I'll just ask.

ЯRussian gives you trouble? IF so, THEN let me guide you into the vast world of our delightfully difficult language. Here be declensions, but fear not! We can use some backdoors...

Now, a bit more about me for those who can read Russian, yay.

Люблю говорить и думать на трёх языках. Сейчас лучше всего это получается на русском, усвоенным с детства, и на английском, который работать и жить помогает. Однако северную погоду нашу точнее и лучше всего величать ласковыми карельскими словами! Жду в уютном скайпе. Tervehytty teile. Здоровья вам.

    Hello, world! Yelena speaking.

    Early on, at an age of four or so, I had an epiphany: people speak different languages and don't understand each other that well! That led to my life-long infatuation with linguistics and language learning.

    Education History

    As a graduated Historian and tour guide, I studied at Petrozavodsk State University, Solovetsky Museum-Reserve and the Kizhi State open-air museum.

    Since 2016, I teach Russian as a foreign language and give tours for English-speaking tourists who come to Northern European Russia from all over the planet. Also, my biggest aspiration now is to learn Karelian language to such an extent that I become capable of teaching it, even at a basic level. It would be great to help ensure a brighter future for the language of my ancestors, creators of immortal "Kalevala".

    Russian is my first language, and as my English fluency is quite sufficient, I'd love to share my knowledge. Even if I have some experience of teaching Russian to Chinese and Indian students, it would be most beneficial if you speak English at least a little. Thank you for reading this, and let us learn more together!
