Hello!

Russian is my first language, I am also fluent in English and beginning to learn my grandmother's tongue, Lyydi Karelian. Learning languages is my passion which I am happy to share with other language learners. So let us help each other in these wonderful times of instant voice communication all over the planet! My main tools are Skype, WhatsApp, MS PowerPoint, MS Word, and a bit of SonyVegas, Adobe After Effects, VirtualDub and such apps where I can make short videos with subtitles.

Thank you for reading this and have a very successful day!

Congratulations Елена!

While others are only dreaming, You are already doing! Fall in love with language learning and make learning a part of your daily routine.

About Me

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!
