About Me

Hi! I’m Olisiia — a professional Russian teacher and creator of “Not Textbook Russian” 🇷🇺✨

I graduated from Moscow State University (MSU) with a specialization in teaching Russian as a foreign language (РКИ).

For almost 10 years, I’ve been helping students from different countries learn REAL Russian — not just grammar from textbooks, but the language native speakers actually use in everyday life.

My goal is simple:
💥 help you understand real Russians
💥 train your ear for natural speech
💥 make Russian feel alive, emotional, and fun

On my YouTube and Patreon, you’ll learn Russian through:
☕ real-life situations
✈️ travel videos
🎭 dialogues
😄 humor
🎧 listening practice
🇷🇺 authentic spoken Russian

Because language is not only grammar.
It’s emotion, culture, personality, and real communication 👀

✨ Join me on my YouTube and Patreon to learn REAL Russian together.
