Fall 2025 - This course was primarily led by our TA, Polina, who did an excellent job facilitating the class. She was consistently kind, approachable, and supportive, creating an environment where learning felt accessible and engaging. Her office hours were particularly helpful for clarifying concepts and working through specific areas of confusion, and I felt that I gained a great deal from the course as a result of her instruction. I would also like to acknowledge the Russian language tutor, who was equally supportive and made the language both interesting and memorable. Her clear explanations and practical examples were especially valuable when navigating challenging grammar concepts and vocabulary. Overall, I greatly appreciated the support from both Polina and the tutoring staff and truly enjoyed this class. I would gladly take it again.

THIS IS FOR RUSSIAN 1 and 2: I am currently taking Russian with Naya Lekht, and she is amazing. Probably one of the best teachers I've had here at ucla thus far. If you're looking for a foreign language requirement, and can't get into spanish cause of sucky enrollement times, this would be the class. It's easy as the class stresses more of participation and showing up to class rather than tests and quizzes. I got an A+ in Russian 1 and probably will get an A in Russian 2. This is for Naya Lekht as I couldn't find her on here. Take Russian with Naya if you can!
