Не позволяй душе лениться!
Чтоб в ступе воду не толочь,
Душа обязана трудиться
И день и ночь, и день и ночь!
Гони ее от дома к дому,
Тащи с этапа на этап,
По пустырю, по бурелому,
Через сугроб, через ухаб!
Не разрешай ей спать в постели
При свете утренней звезды,
Держи лентяйку в черном теле
И не снимай с нее узды!

Унылая пора! Очей очарованье! Приятна мне твоя прощальная краса — Люблю я пышное природы увяданье, В багрец и в золото одетые леса, В их сенях ветра шум и свежее дыханье, И мглой волнистою покрыты небеса, И редкий солнца луч, и первые морозы, И отдаленные седой зимы угрозы.

I studied at Betula Academy in the A2 course. I really enjoyed studying online. I’m studying from China. The platform is convenient — a lot of videos, flashcards, everything is up to date))) The teacher always explains everything 😊 Thank you.

I live and work in Russia, and after work, I study at Betula Academy. It’s very convenient because you can just turn on your computer and start the lesson. I feel that my Russian has gotten better. I speak a lot and am not afraid to make mistakes. I see great progress!

The Russian language is very interesting but difficult 😉 Before, I couldn't remember words, but here they have dictionaries😉 There are assignments too, which is good — I don’t like homework, but I do it. I feel that I speak better and understand more. Super!

I am learning Russian at Betula Academy additionally, because at the university, the group has many students and it’s difficult to understand the material. Here the lessons are online, and I can study at a convenient time after classes. I am satisfied, I passed the TORFL.
