These lessons are paying off immediately. My friends are seeing and praising my progress. With the professor's careful guidance, I understand what to focus on and how to become more productive with my studies. Plus, I am learning extras about linguistics, e.g., synthetic vs. analytical languages. The joy of learning! La joie d'apprendre!

A happy student here. Uncovering so much depth in seemingly simple topics! The course is well paced: its complexity increases, but not too fast. The lessons are entertaining, informative, and useful. The teaching bar is high -- the target is at the university or grad school level - but fundamentals are very accessible. My professor speaks multiple languages (so do I) and leverages them to give powerful and efficient examples and explanations. Can't be happier!

So much depth and so many nuances I would have overlooked without Dr. Irina's help! Can't be happier, even the course requires homework on my side :)

OMG!!! What a gem! Background /Before italki: I have been trying to practice phonetics with voice recognition software. Software recognizes that I am wrong (or, rather, it doesn't recognize me at all) . My teacher, Mrs Irina, PhD, notices the most subtle nuances of my mis- pronunciation and provides immediate feedback and correction suggestions. This helps me to fine tune my articulation on the spot, train my vocal muscles, and create vocal muscle memory.

Уроком довольны. Учительница создала доброжелательную и тёплую атмосферу. Ребёнку понравилось занятие. Будем учиться дальше.

AWESOME
