Aunque aún no he estudiado todos los niveles o lecciones, estoy muy satisfecho con la adquisición de mi Curso, ya que me permitirá a lo largo de 2026 incrementar mis conocimientos del idioma ruso y, seguramente, llegar a dominarlo. Me gustan las lecciones, su estructura y manera de llevar al estudiante de una manera bastante sencilla al conocimiento del idioma. ¡Altamente recomendado!

Para mí el mejor curso de idiomas que he conocido Muy bien estructurado y se avanza realmente Las clases online son el complemento perfecto Ya llevo casi 60 en este año que llevo con Kalinka Y es todo Los vídeos muy bien explicados Los ejercicios de gramática intensiva de alta calidad Lo único que falta es organizar viajes a Rusia de estudios para estar ahí un tiempito Pongo esa idea sobre la mesa

Sistema Kalinka has really helped me improve my Russian! The lessons are easy to understand, rich in vocabulary, and well-structured. Each topic builds naturally on the previous one, making it simple to grasp and apply in real conversations. Overall, it’s a great program for anyone who wants to increase their fluency and confidence in Russian.

Every day I am amazed by the beauty of the of Kalinka materials. It is so well-structured, that learning sometimes feels almost effortless. (I came with some previous knowledge of Russian, to learn the grammar.) I also find our teacher Anastasia very inspiring and motivating, I just love to study with her. In the video lessons, I love how she comes back to review difficult things during next lessons, so we students won’t miss anything important. And she also explains, why we learn what we learn. She really cares that we would learn things properly. I love the humour, which goes like a red line through the texts and conversations! This course makes my days feel good 😊.
I would recommend to purchase books together with the online course. It makes a big difference. And supports the ability to write by hand. One can also easily make own notes and go backward to refresh things. We learn to recognize the grammatical cases while underlining the nouns & prepositions with different color pencils. That really helps to visualise, what is going on in the sentences. The quality of books is also excellent. The content is supported by good paper and pleasant design.

Russian being the fifth language I am studying, I really enjoy that when learning online, I am actually the one who answers to ALL teacher’s questions! 🙂 (Comparing to learning in class with 15 other students, where you usually answer only on your turn.) Video lessons are highly interactive. That makes studying really effective and nice. (Don’t expect just passive sitting and memorizing.) I am going to start the 3rd book & 3rd level now, and I would like to thank to Kalinka school for the amazing experience.

This course is fantastic—super comprehensive and full of great materials. It definitely takes some real studying, especially once you get to Stage 4, but it’s worth the effort. Anastasia is a wonderful teacher and always takes the time to answer questions by email. I’d absolutely recommend this course to anyone serious about learning Russian.

I attended almost a half of the course then I had to stop it because of very busy period of time I faced... I recommend it (obviously it's better to use other studying materials besides it). I think I will resubscribe it when I will be a bit less busy.
