Yula - Online Russian Course - I am happy that I found it.
Dear Trustpilot Community!
In the last couple of decades I tried to learn several languages. And I more often failed than succeded. I would be the first guy to admit that maybe I am just not too talended in learing languages, but to be honest I often felt that it is not entirely my mistake when I am not able to learn this or that languages. I often saw that language teachers have talent to learn languages but not to teach languages - so they can't understant that 'normal' people can't learn effectively from their often photocopied sheets of paper or in case of any other inconsistency. Then I found Yula, tried her app and it was shocking for me that learning languages could be fun! So Yula is totally different. I try to collect why:
- She has a great platform (app), which made according to logic and works well.
- There is consistency, the material build up according to common sense.
- Probably because she is not just a teacher but a language learner as well, she learnt 4 different languages, probably that's why she has practical knowledge about what method is effective, how much practice is ideal, and more importantly, how to motivete that learner. How to think with the mind of a learner.
- She does not advertise any magical, unique, secret, ... method. She has just built up her material by using already known methods and she combines them properly, eg.: flashcards. There are a lot of different type of tasks, not boring at all.
- And maybe the most important is that she is cute, and very enthusiastic, thus motivating. I have never met her personally, so I don't know if she really happy when I pass a small test, but she can make me belive via her online surface that she is really happy for my success.
- Her app often makes you to repeate, practice already learnt words, grammar. Generally this is a boring part of language learning. But she does it on a way, that you don't even reallize that you do it.
- You have to pay for it, but the monthly fee costs much lower than a typical fee would be in case of a language class or regular lessons from a private teacher. Much lower, and (at least for me) much more effective.
