Speaking
Russian conversation practice
Conversation lessons are for students who understand more than they can say. You know the grammar, you can read, but the moment someone speaks to you, the sentence disappears.
The lessons are structured but genuinely conversational. We choose a situation, prepare the language you need, then use it — with corrections that help you finish the thought rather than stopping you every three words.

How a conversation lesson works
Each lesson has a theme: a cafe, a doctor’s appointment, a work meeting, a family argument, a film you watched. We start with a short warm-up, introduce or revise the language you need, then practise it in a realistic exchange.
At the end, you get three or four specific things to work on: a sound, a case ending, a phrase that kept coming up. Nothing vague.
Topics we use
If you have a specific situation coming up, bring it. We can rehearse it directly.
- Everyday life: home, work, food, travel, health.
- Social conversation: family, plans, opinions, stories.
- Exam-style speaking: describing a photo, role-play, discussion.
- Professional situations: meetings, email follow-ups, small talk.
Correction style
Constant correction kills fluency. We correct the error that matters most in the moment, note the rest, and return to it after the exercise. You always finish the sentence.
Over time, the corrections become a personal list of patterns: the cases you avoid, the verbs you overuse, the sounds that slip under pressure. That list is the real syllabus.
Who it suits
- A2 and above: you can hold a simple conversation but want to sound more natural.
- B1–B2: you want to move from “correct” to “fluent”.
- Exam students who need to speak under time pressure.
- Adults returning to Russian after a long break.

Questions
Short, direct answers. If yours is not here, send a message and we will reply within one working day.
Can I do conversation lessons as a complete beginner?
Yes, but they look different: more prompts, shorter exchanges, and more support. If you have never read Cyrillic, start with the beginner route first.
Will you speak only Russian?
At A2–B1 we use Russian for the main exchange and switch to English when a rule needs explaining. At higher levels, almost everything is in Russian.
Do you correct every mistake?
No. We correct what blocks meaning or repeats a pattern, and keep a note of the rest. Being interrupted constantly is not practice.
Can I choose the topics?
Yes. Bring a situation, a film, an article or a work scenario. The lesson is built around it.
How is this different from the general lessons?
The focus is speaking and listening rather than a full syllabus. Grammar is addressed when it helps you say what you mean.
