Korshub's take

A gentle on-ramp into Russian, alphabet and all

This crash course is designed for absolute beginners and pairs speaking practice with the Cyrillic alphabet from day one, so you learn to read Russian alongside learning to say it rather than treating the two as separate stages. Instructor Dr. Goultchira Chakirova is repeatedly credited by past students for a clear, unhurried pace and strong supporting handouts.

What to expect

Introduction to the Cyrillic alphabet — letter names and pronunciation
Core vocabulary and a handful of practical phrases
Just enough grammar to prepare you for a Level II course, without overwhelming a first-timer

Who it's for

Complete beginners who want a structured, slow-paced introduction to Russian rather than a rushed overview — the course is explicitly built to keep material understandable before adding complexity.

If you've bounced off other beginner language courses because they moved too fast, the deliberately measured pacing here is the standout feature worth trying.
