The club is really awesome. I have honestly learned so much during my time here. It's fun, and I promise there is nothing to be afraid of. If you want to learn Russian, but you are scared, and just dive in head first. Alena will catch you. She's little, but she's a strong Russian woman and a wonderful teacher!
