You know what I'd like? A good male Russian teacher. After years of listening to and speaking with Russian women, I've gotten quite used to the lilt and melody of the feminine Russian voice. Unfortunately, the comparatively monotone, and decidedly terse mumblings of their male counterparts remains, to me, enigmatic. In addition - it seems anyone who would become a teacher uses their position to shamelessly practice their English.
So, at the risk of inciting accusations of sexism - anyone know of a few good (preferably younger) men? (Real teachers - no "exchanges" please.) -Dustin On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 2:00 PM, The Vip Moscow ( SwordBros) < [email protected]> wrote: > Anna Dmitreyeva > > + 8 925 509 44 07 > > She is a good teacher > > Best regards > > > *From:* Susie Garden <[email protected]> > *Sent:* Sunday, October 17, 2010 7:48 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Cc:* aislu van rain <[email protected]> > *Subject:* Expat List Russian teacher > > Hi, > > Any listers looking for an excellent Russian teacher?
