Feedback:
Polina is probably one of the nicest teachers I’ve ever had. I wish my teachers over the years were as sweet. I liked how in this grammar class we not only learned grammar, but practiced using it in context either by using them in stories, playing games, or talking with our peers. The homework and quizzes were manageable. I also really liked the topics we covered. I feel like we went over all the hardest grammar topics I struggled with in Russian. I finally understand the whole никого, ничего, кто-то, что-нибудь catastrophe.
