Mini Boot Camp for students is back!

​
Mini Boot Camp is a chance for you to learn (or refresh your knowledge of) the default Russian mouth position, the foundation for all Russian sounds!
I'll also help you get a handle on stress, intonation, and one of the most difficult Russian sounds – Ñ‹.
​
Zoom with me and students from all over the world on Thursday, 9/25/25, 7:30-8:00 :p.m. ET (that's East Coast time).
​
If you can't Zoom live with us at that time, no worries – I'll record the session and everyone who registers will receive a password they can use to access the video, which will be available for a couple of weeks.
​​
Boot Camp is free to all students and teachers of Russian. Tell your Russian-studying friends, and see you there!
Office Hours & Singing for Students
Zoom with me for 30-minute "office hours" on pronunciation with a leetle singing! You can ask me questions, I'll try to help you, and we'll sing a song or two. Students and teachers are welcome - bring a friend!
