“I've been learning Russian for a while, but I don't feel like I'm actually progressing.” We hear this all the time from students when they first come to us.
If this sounds like you, this post might be exactly what you need.

In this carousel, I'm sharing all the open spots in our Russian mini-groups, as well as the new groups we're forming for September.

And if you're thinking, “I have no idea what my level is” — don't worry about it.

You can book a free diagnostic session with us. We'll:

— identify your strengths and weaknesses
— look at your typical mistakes and give you practical tips on how to work on them
— show you what to focus on next
— help you choose the group and learning format that fits your goals

No obligation to join us afterwards.

Even if you decide not to study with us, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of where your Russian is now, what's slowing your progress down, and what to do next.

Want to join a group or book your free diagnostic?

Comment “+” in the comments, and we'll send you all the details.

You understand Russian.

But when it’s time to speak… suddenly, everything disappears from your head.
You start thinking about grammar, searching for the right word, worrying about making mistakes. Do you understand much more Russian than you can actually speak? You’re definitely not alone.

And no — the problem isn’t necessarily that your Russian “isn’t good enough yet.” There are reasons why this happens.

If you recognize yourself in this story, check out our "Speaking" Highlight.

There, I share what I’ve learned from 5+ years of teaching Russian: why you can understand so much but still struggle to speak — and what actually helps you finally start speaking Russian.

P.S. 👀 But did speaking Russian actually get easier for Jamie?

Stay tuned for Part 3 — and let Jamie tell you herself what changed and what we managed to achieve together.

The treats featured in the video:

1. зефир — a light whipped dessert made with fruit purée and egg whites.
2. ирис — soft, chewy caramel toffee.
3. квас — a traditional fermented bread drink.
4. казинаки — roasted nuts or seeds held together with honey or caramel.
5. гематоген — a sweet bar made with condensed milk and iron (yes, it's a real thing!).

Where to buy them:

🍫 «Коммунарка» & «Спартак» — chocolate and traditional sweets.
🤍 «Красный пищевик» & «Красный Мозырянин» — зефир, пастила (fruit confection) and мармелад (fruit jelly).
🍪 «Слодыч» — cookies and biscuits.

🧦 «Брестские носки» & Mark Formelle — socks and everyday clothing.

And don't leave without trying «Столичные» chocolates (or the «Столичный» chocolate bar) — one of Belarus's best-known sweet treats.

Let me know in the comments what surprised you the most!

Belarusians, what else would you recommend a foreigner bring home from Belarus?

I knew this July would be special for me. And it was.

I lived almost every moment in the present. My focus was on family — not work, not my phone, not endless thoughts about tasks. Just life.

I'm incredibly grateful I get to live this life.

And now I'm returning to my other life in Warsaw. It feels like summer holidays at grandma's are over — and it's time to go back to school.

How's your summer going?
