Russian Language Tutor Wanted

Submitted by GunsBikesGuitars t3_10jsxej in springfieldMO

I have started learning to speak Russian through audiotapes, and I would like to meet a native Russian-speaking person who would be interested in doing some in-person language tutoring. We could probably meet at a local library once a week. They do not need to be a professional, I would just like to learn how to speak simple Russian in a way a native could understand me. I am offering to pay, of course. If you are up for it or know somebody who does, please reach out! Thank you.

There are actually a good number of Russian and Ukrainian immigrants in the area. Sacramento was the big landing pad years ago but due to…reasons…SW MO emerged as the secondary place to go for first generation immigrants.

There is a…Russian or Ukrainian oriented food store just E of National and Republic Rd. Might be worth inquiring there.

And yes, there are many sudden views on Ukraine/Russia…it’s a totally diff mindset and worldview that most average people still don’t quite know how to feel after watching hours and hours after watching both sides like I have. That said, most immigrants here from there I’ve dealt with are good, hard working people. If you find a good local dual language teacher you will learn the language and the nuance.

What are some of these reasons of which you speak? I’ve noticed this and been fascinated by it and wondered why.

I am using a tutor through italki.com for Spanish. I would recommend finding one there.

You realize there is a significant difference between Russians and Putin. Get your position straight before you blame people that can barely get food.

Fuck Russia indeed, but there are sound practical reasons for wanting to learn that over Ukrainian. There are far more Russian speakers than there are speakers of Ukrainian, for starters. And if you went to Ukraine, you could probably find your way about with some basic Russian, whereas Ukrainian would only get you around in Ukraine.
