Russian Online with Anastasia Polo
This is an educational portal for Russian language learners where you can find everything that you need in one place: text documents, video tutorial, tests for self-improvement, blog, and of course help and support. The founder Anastasia Polo: “I don’t like just to teach people the Russian language – I also want to present my culture to you all. So, learning with me is not only about grammar lessons, it is also about modern cultural trends, about significant Russian impact on art and literature and of course about the ineffable and incomprehensible Russian soul.”
