About the project

We built this site for everybody who wants

  • to put their own knowledge in order
  • to fill the gaps and move up a level
  • to start learning a language with the least time spent*

Every answer carries its source

Any and every answer to a question is backed by a link to a source that can be checked.

No AI

We are not an accredited educational organisation

But our material has been helping people for several years now**

  • to translate anything at all from Russian into English, correctly
  • to start speaking freely
  • to prepare harder for any interview, test or exam

How it started

  1. 21 May 2022

    A channel on Telegram

    Created at the request of people who had proved their level with an international certificate and wanted to keep it, or go further.

  2. 1 July 2022

    The first post of the community

    The date the community first appeared online, and the line after which our material could have been copied.

  3. Today

    This site

    The times set new conditions, so we took the harder road and built the site.

Welcome to teach yourself community!***

Notes

  1. *

    The articles describe the nuances we have not found in any Russian-language textbook. If you find something like them, please tell us — and if the textbook came out before 1 July 2022, the date of the community’s first post online, then after that date our material could have been copied.

    It all began on 21 May 2022 with a channel on Telegram, created at the request of people who had confirmed their level with an international certificate and wanted to keep it, or go further. That was enough for a while, but the times set new conditions, so we chose the harder road and built this site.

    None of us has confirmed any level of Chinese yet — we are only working towards it. Join us! There are, however, many among us who speak English freely, so the speaking club carries on: the date, the time and the material for discussion are published here. For beginners, at elementary and pre-intermediate level, we will organise a speaking club of its own if there is interest.
