Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take me to start speaking confidently?+
Russian is known as one of the world's most challenging languages, so it takes a little time and consistency. Most students see real progress after 2–3 months. In about 6 months, you'll be able to hold simple conversations, and after a year — discuss more complex topics. Of course, everyone learns differently, but with weekly lessons and some self-study, this timeline is absolutely achievable.
Who are the teachers at Putnik School? Are they native speakers?+
Yes! All our teachers are native Russian speakers and professional educators. That combination is especially important at the beginning — when pronunciation and grammar foundations need the right start.
How are lessons different from other online Russian schools?+
Our lessons are built around a unique, conversation-first method designed at Putnik School. You won't just memorize grammar rules — you'll use them naturally as each new topic unfolds. Every class is focused on practical communication, cultural context, and building confidence to speak in real life.
Can I try a lesson before paying?+
Yes! We offer affordable trial lessons for our private courses — plus a free consultation to help you choose the best program for your goals.
What payment methods do you accept?+
You can pay securely by card (including Apple Pay and Google Pay) through Stripe. We also accept bank transfers and, if needed, cryptocurrency payments — just contact our support team to arrange those options.
Can I learn on my phone or tablet?+
Absolutely. You can study on any device with an internet connection. All our videos, lessons, and student dashboard are mobile-friendly. A simple notebook for notes is optional but always helpful.
Do you offer lessons for kids or complete beginners?+
Our courses are designed for learners aged 14 and up — perfect for complete beginners! We start from zero and guide you step by step toward confident communication.
