CAI spent over a year using other apps… I spent over a year using other apps before discovering this podcast and then course. The way mark explains Russian grammar in a way that works excellent for the english speaking brain. Helpful support, with quick response time, as needed! Loved it!

GBMark makes learning Russian doable After completing Mark's Russian Made Easy podcast, I was convinced that he was the right teacher to take me through the process. I'm only a couple of weeks in but the course is excellent. I've tried Pimsleur, Rocket Languages, Duolingo and more, but none of them strike the right balance between repetition and actual learning like Russian Accelerator. The sections are split up cleverly and each time I log in, I feel like I'm actually learning things and building on prior concepts and words. It's a tough language, but Mark makes it easier. Five stars

GBReally impressed with the service I really struggled for a while trying to find a course which I could get along with. Learning Russian seemed like such a monumental task, however soon after beginning the course I found mark and the team break it down into easily manageable chunks. The extra source material they pack into this course is huge so you never run out of bits to practice with. His relaxed friendly manner makes it feel like he's sitting there with you one on one. Also, the customer service is great, if you ever need to contact the team for help they respond very quickly. Didn't want to spend the money at first but now I'm really glad I did as this is a skill which will last a lifetime. Really impressed.

GBDefinitely 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!

GBAbsolutely amazing - super happy user and a big fan! Absolutely amazing. I've tried so many ways to learn Russian and always floundered after a few weeks. But as Mark from Russian Accelerator says: the method makes the difference, and he is absolutely right. Video is the perfect format for learning the language and he introduces vocabulary, grammar, and cultural insights in an engaging manner at a steady yet never stodgy or overwhelming pace. A masterful accomplishment by a great teacher and a great team! With any luck, they'll develop similar courses for Japanese and other hard-to-learn languages! :-) Pro tip: do as Mark suggests early on in the course and USE FLASHCARDS and a GRAMMAR NOTEBOOK. It makes a world of difference! To learn a language you need to do what works—not what's most convenient!
