I have finally unlocked my “Russian brain” After a year of college based Russian I found myself reading short stories, writing essays, but unable to have even the most simple conversation. This course is amazing for learning conversational Russian! I finally feel that I’ve been able to unlock the Russian part of my brain when it comes to forming sentences in conversation. And no doubt this would be great for total beginners too. The interactive podcasts are great way to squeeze in some extra conversation practice on the morning drive to work. Well worth the price!

Im learning Russian I tried different books and russian classes but all I did was getting frustrated, until I tried this. Its a simple way to really understand how russian works and the lessons are short and approachable, with a ton, yes a ton of resources to help you speak russian, not just memorize word, but actually speak and understand russian. Highly recommended, this is a must for those trying to learn russian.

I can understand and speak! Being new and early in the course (unit 6) I have been successful at speaking and understanding native Russian speakers where I work, in the healthcare setting. I can't thank the Russian Accelerator team and Mark enough for what I learned in such little time. Today, I was able to introduce myself in Russian to a nurse/ translator and to the patient. My patients eyes lit up to see that I am trying to learn Russian. She pulled me aside and held my hand to tell me, "thank you for learning Russian. It makes us feel much good in a country where we do not know American language well. And you speak it very well!" She was too kind, and I was so happy to see that I am making a difference! I was also able to ask her in Russian, " как это называется? " When I picked up a blanket. I am proud to learn my families language and to help Russian speakers feel more at home in this country! I've had many other Russian language experiences, but this happened today so it's fresh in my head. Anyway, большое спасибо! And happy learning!

Definitely Recommend! I really enjoy the method of instruction! They employ many different methods of instruction which really helps you to apply the language in practical, day-to-day life. It makes so much more sense than learning Russian out of a textbook. I took a year of Russian in college, and felt like I learned more usable Russian in three Units than I did over one year. Definitely recommend!

Better than the best! I have tried so many ways to learn Russian, which is really a difficult language to learn, and was close to giving up. Then I found Russian Accelerator and understod that the problem I had faced so far hadn't to do with me, but rather with bad pedagogic. Mark and his team at Russian Accelerator are on a whole other level, making it easy and fun to learn - and surprisingly fast, as well as to understand important principles. It's almost like healing yoga classes to sit down with the lessons and that's why it's easy for me to give 5 stars! Me: Swedish speaking, without any special talent for foreign languages.
