My thesis was about how to teach elementary students to speak, so I can say that conversational practice in my lessons is a must. But it doesn't mean just speaking, it's learning new words and mastering new grammar through communication. I believe that learning a language is easier when you put the material into a meaningful context, so I always try to find what interests my students and bring it to my lessons.

Awesome lesson. This was an introductory call to see where I was starting at and we then went over self-introductions, reading, and pronunciation

I asked Alina to help me translate a letter from English into basic Russian that I could speak out loud, and she did exactly that. She also offered helpful suggestions and tweaks to make it sound more natural, which is something no auto translation can do. 10/10!
