So far so Great! Love the course! So far, this has been an awesome course очень классно!. Although, I can’t necessarily speak the language with confidence at this point of this review. I am confident that with time and continual practice I will be able to. This course has catapulted my desire to improve with the language. I can now better understand when people are speaking Russian around me and get the gist of what is being discussed. With as little time as I have worked on Russian Accelerator and the language, if I was dropped off in Russia for whatever reason, I believe I would be able to get by. Currently only in unit 9 and have much more material to cover which is exciting. In addition to the course, I also listened to Marks podcast Russian Made Easy and his other great content.

Stop the war!! Stop the war!!! Слава Украине!

I cannot recommend this course enough I cannot recommend this course enough. Mark & Team's method of instruction is insanely effective. You're able to speak relevant sentences right from the beginning! The course is everything you wished your high school Spanish could have been. Skip the memorization of verb endings, teach the most relevant vocabulary first, learn whole phrases in context, listen to native speakers with fast speech and varying pronunciation. I went through the Russian Made Easy (free) podcast on Spotify first and was concerned the Russian Accelerator would be repetitious, but it has been the perfect complement. The Read Russian videos on the site (also free!) worked so well, and made Cyrillic a breeze. This course is empowering and truly makes learning a (very difficult!) language entirely achievable. Thank you so much, Mark and team. 100/10 recommend.

Russian Accelerator Rocks! Russian Accelerator Rocks! I also finished Mark's free Russian Made Easy podcast then tried Russian Accelerator. If you are reading this and did the podcast then have no doubt, R. Accelerator is next level stuff. For me, thanks to Mark's teaching, Russian went from kind of impossible to get a hold on to.. "Hmm maybe I can actually do this..." and finally to where my Russian co-worker was actually impressed and I impressed myself really. Trust your gut on this one and go for it. Big fan here. Hats off to Mark and crew.

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!
