Online Russian classes for K–12 students: heritage speakers from Russian-speaking families and learners of Russian as a foreign language
Root and Affix, formerly known as Russian School of Boston, is a small business that teaches Russian as a foreign language to K–12 students and adults. All levels are welcome, and its courses are online.
For kids it lists two class types: Russian for K–12 students from Russian-speaking families (heritage speakers), and Russian as a foreign language for K–12 students. For the heritage class, the site asks you to email them if you are interested.
The foreign-language courses start at Intro-1, for total beginners, who learn to read and write in Russian, basic grammar, conversation and vocabulary. Intro-2 adds more grammar, reading and practice. Classes meet online once a week for an hour, and instruction is in English.
