Test Of Russian as a Foreign Language = TORFL.
Learning the Russian language by e-mail makes the process of understanding Russian grammar easier. That's why e-mail-based Russian lessons give you more practice than visiting Russia and living in Moscow does. So you can study the Russian language via e-mail instead of making the long journey to Russia.

my national symbols are written. So, to be able to write with russian lettes I must remember by heart the layout of russian symbols.
So I can read russian messages on my screen, but it's too difficult for me to write my own messages in russian letters! Can you help me??
This is too expensive for me!
Is there a simple way to start trading with Russia?
How can it be that you live in Russia and have californian fax-number?
I live outside of USA. So, sending a fax to number 209-927-5726 is rather expensive for me.
However I'd like to use fax for learning Russian. What should I do?
My native language is Spanish. Can you teach me Russian using Spanish for comments and explanations?
Frequently asked questions:
Let's get acquainted!
My name is Leonid. I was born and still live now in St.-Peterburg. I guess this is
the most beautiful russian city. And I'd like to say that if you visit my city, you'll
never do it in vain!
My native language is Russian. My occupation is teaching Russian for foreigners.
As a hobby I like to correspond with different people over the world. It's very interesting
for me to discover how the people live, which tradition they have etc...
But the most interesting thing for me is linguistics. So, as a language teacher I make
my work with pleasure. It is very important for me.

How can I learn Russian language via e-mail?
If you have Microsoft Word installed on your PC, we can write letter to one another using attached Word-documents.
(You may download Russian fonts here)
If you have a sound card installed on you PC, we can talk to one another by attaching sound files to our letters.
If you have a fax-machine at home, simply send your Russian homework to me by fax. You may also send
it by e-mail. Although we live in different countries, and are separated by thousands of kilometers, you can learn Russian as if we were sitting in the same room.
If you have some software problems, then you may wish to use fax as means of communication.
This helps in situation when your software does not allow you to use
russian fonts or when you
have no russian keyboard. Anyway tiping in Russian without seeing russian letters on your keyboard
is very difficult. In this case you may simply write with a pen on a paper and send this message
to me by fax. Wonderful, isn't it?
If you live in USA, then sending fax-message to me won't be very expensive for you. That's because
my fax-server is located in USA (not in Russia!). Any message sent to this fax-server will be automatically redirected to my e-mail box by CallWave.
If you make your first steps in learning Russian, then we'll start learning using
english or german language (I understand the both of them). But if you have already
some experience in undestanding Russian, then we may use Russian as often as possible.

How long have I to learn before I start understanding Russian?
All depends on you. Some people can start talking Russian after
4 months of learnig. Now they are able to understand and use in
their speech a lot of russian proverbs, common sentences fast
without dictionary.
As a rule it takes 8-12 months at the first level to start understanding russian speech.
After passing the first level you can enter the second. The Second level also takes 8-12 months
of learning. On graduating you will be able to visit Russia and to live there without help of
interpreter.

Is it possible to listen to russian songs? Can you correct my russian pronunciation?
Yes, during this russian course you will learn a lot of russian songs and proverbs, read russian fairy
tales, solve different puzzles etc... For correcting your russian pronunciation, learning russian words,
training your speech habits and developing your listening scills, you have to pass through a sery of
exercizes.
Listenning to russian songs helps very much to obtain a strong knowledge of russian language. Making speech-based
exercises, writing dictations, playing speech-based games will allow you to improve and polnish your Russian.

in a very short period of time. Now it's time to tell me about your decision. My mailbird is ready

I don't believe that somebody can learn some foreign language only via e-mail, without having direct contact with his teacher!
Why do you say "without having direct contact with teacher"? The electronic contact is contact too!
For example, one can attach sound files to his letter. At the same time you may both read and listen
to such letters. Of course, I won't send you the whole letter as a sound file (because I don't want to
force you to spend your time for long downloading. I appreciate your time and your money!). Only the most
important data such as examples of russian prononcion, dialogues, songs, intonational models, short
stories and dictations will be sent as voice-attachment.
The size of sound file is usually 300-800KB and it never exceeds 1MB. But there are some exception
from this rule. If you cannot (or may be don't want) to receive such large files , -- we can agree
upon needed filesizees.
In order to make communication to russian teacher more easy in use, you may use fax as a way of
sending your russian homeworks to teacher.

Russian language is too difficult for me!
Good beginning is half the battle. At the beginning of every doing it seems to be
very difficult. But after you've started to do it it seems much more easy!
If you are in earnest about learning Russian then learning will be easy for you...
When going from simple to difficult, you will learn a lot of interesting things.
If learning Russian is interesting for you then you have nothing to be afraid of!

My native language is Spanish. Can you teach me Russian using Spanish for comments and explanations?
Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish. However I advice you to avoid of
using your native language during the proccess of learning russian language.
REMEMBER: During the time you are learning a foreign language your native language is your enemy!
Even if I were able to speak your native language, it is recomended not to use this possibility!
If you read this text now then you are able to use English for communication with me.
If English is too difficult for you then you may use German for communication with me.
Currently I am in proccess of learning French. Now I can read in French, but it is still too difficult for me to to write in French.
Can you translate from English into Russian?
Yes !
But letters, technical literature and advertisements only !
Please, see price-list!
Send me your text by fax or by mail. I will translate it as soon as possible. Please, do not hesitate to ask me about how to translate some sentence into Russian.
Usually if your question does not take from me much time, I do it for FREE. However, if it takes much time I will ask you to pay for my work.

My children learn Russian at school. Can you help them?
Yes, I can. But you have to help your children to install needed software properly.
If you have some troubles, please, feel free to ask me! Write about your problems in
a letter and let my mail-bird deliver it! I'll try to help you.
FAX: 209-927-5726 E-MAIL: leo@incastle.com
You may wish to comunicate via FAX (not via e-mail). This is also possible. My fax number is
209-927-5726. The fax-server is located in California. Any fax sent to this number will be automatically redirected to
me by e-mail.
Sending letter by fax will allow you to learn Russian with pen and paper instead of using keyboard and mouse.
If you have problems with russian fonts you may either install them or use FAX as way of communication to teacher.
Children like drawing pictures. One of the tasks which I give to children as an exercise in understanding Russian
is something like this: "Please, listen to a short story and draw on a piece of paper all masculine subjects used in the story".
Children like exercises of this type. They draw pictures with a pleasure.
In this situation the easiest way of sending the child's picture to russian teacher is faxing
it to number 209-957-5726 a fax. (The picture may also be sent by e-mail. However it takes some efforts
for scanning and converting ...).

They are adhesive labels made of plastic (or other material) with russian letters on it.
People use stickers in order to be able to type in Russian.
You can purchase
right now. However, if you wish to access russian teacher by fax then you don't
need to buy russian keyboard stickers. Make your homework as you usually

You may solve this problem by purchasing russian keyboard or russian keyboard stickers.
If you live in USA, you may communicate with russian teacher by fax. Using fax makes your life easy. Now you may write your message on a piece of paper and fax it to russian teacher without
thinking about fonts, software, keyboard etc...
How much time lasts one lesson?
You'll receive continually homeworks by e-mail. On receiving homework you may disconnect from Internet
and start working _o_f_f_l_i_n_e_ .. On doing your homework you send it to me by e-mail or by fax , then you receive next
homework. etc...
The majority of my students say that homework in Russian takes all their spare time. That's why I advise
you to subscribe to one lesson a week. (Later you may change regularity of the lessons). In this case you'll have
a whole week for prepairing your russian homeworks. If the terms of learning are very important for you and
you want to learn Russian as quickly as possible (and if you also have much time), then you may choose
2-, 3-, or 5-time-a-week lessons. If when doing your homework you have some questions, then please, ask me
without hesitating. (You may ask me at any day you like. It is not neccecary to wait untill next lesson begins!).
Such way of learning will give you a chance to ask me questions at any moment, to experience russian way
of living and thinking, to understand Russian Language from the point of view russian people.
On average one can say that the efficacy of one single lesson by its productivity equals a whole month of
learning at school.

Can I access russian teacher by fax?
Yes, you can!
Please, fax to number 209-927-5726. Your message will be automatically redirected to teacher's mail-box.
You have californian fax-number and you say you live in Russia.
How can it be that you live in Russia and have californian fax-number? Do you live in California?
No, I live in Russia. I use fax-to-e-mail gateway provided by CallWave . You send your fax to CallWave, then CallWave redirects your
message to my e-mail address which is located here, in Russia. That's why you don't need even to have Internet access
to be able to send me a message. Because there are a lot of places from where a person may send fax, you will be able
to send your homework to russian teacher almost from everywhere in USA! However, you should have Internet-access for receiving messages from russian teacher. But if you like to use faxing both
for receiving and sending messages, please, contact CallWave and ask them if it is possible!
I guess, learning Russian with pen and paper is much more easy than learning Russian with keyboard and mouse! Try it!

How to start trading with Russia?
This is too expensive for me!
The most of people ask me this question because they think that during a lesson
they must be online in Internet.
Nothing of the kind! I repeat: You will learn always o f f l i n e.
You'll use e-mail for receiving lessons and for communication with a teacher.
(If you have some software problems you may use FAX for sending and e-mail for receiving messages. )
If you are young (bellow 30) and have no permanent income , you may participate in program for young people.
Russian Pictural Grammar
Note, that you may learn russian language together with your friends.

So if you join as a group of 5 persons -- everyone pays only 7USD.
