Zdravstvuyte! - здравствуйте - (that means hello)
^ congrats! you just learned your first Russian word!

I am doing things a bit differently

than the other language tutors, in the sense

that I will be learning this language with all of my students!

For as long as I can remember,
I've always wanted to learn Russian, but

I was never able to access any resources to assist me
in my goal. These days, with the help of mobile & computer applications,
anyone is able to learn a new language (or advance their knowledge in a familiar language)
by simply downloading an app! My personal favorites include Duolingo and Memrise, but here, we

will be working exclusively with Duolingo. Please make sure to download that app, because it will be where

all the lessons are taught! We will keep a tally of everyone's scores and progression on a post within this subsection.

As your instructor,
I have taken a few lessons

already in Russian on Duolingo, so I will be
a bit ahead of you all at the beginning, so that I can
help you out along the way. However, I have a very very basic

knowledge of Russian. My main objective was to choose a language where we
would all be starting at the same level and grow together. (:
