Interdependence of oral and written skills

Interdependence of speaking, listening, reading and writing “It is common place to see a remarkable special effect on a television screen by exclaiming: “How did they do that?” It is not quite so usual to exclaim when we observe someone speaking, listening, reading, writing, or signing.

My Testimonials

As a busy professional learning Russian, I'm aware what a difference having a good teacher can make. I consider myself very fortunate to be learning with Ludmila. She is enthusiastic and patient, and I find her teaching style very productive. I particularly value the way in which she has understood how I tend to learn best and has adapted her teaching material accordingly. Learning with Ludmila is a pleasure, not a self-imposed chore, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a Russian tutor.
