Good lesson. We kind of went off-topic on a diatribe about the differences between Slavic languages but as a linguist in training that kind of stuff just fascinates me.
Overall, Alin is helpful in that she lays out plans to solve issues you might face but hands-off in that she gives you the freedom to choose whatever you think would best work for you.
My pronunciation has become better after two lessons and I am feeling more secure in pronouncing individual words with good accuracy provided I know the necessary information, which in practice is solely the placement of the accent.
I would still recommend Alin if you're looking for a knowledgeable teacher and I am curious to know what our lessons will look like once we get to the meat and bones of the language.
