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.

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!

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!

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!

Top tier course Excellent course with a great teacher. Mark is really engaging and explains things brilliantly and makes learning Russian super fun and easy. Also being able to email and get fast responses from real people really make it worth the money. Would definitely recommend!
