Mark 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

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

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.

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!

Absolutely 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!
