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!

GBIm 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.

GBThe method really does matter! I have always thought that I didn't have the aptitude for language learning. Everything I've tried in the past had failed. What I didn't realize was that it was just the teaching methods that were not clicking for me, the method really does matter! I successfully completed their free Russian Made Easy podcasts and was excited to be learning so quickly and deeply that I had to try Russian Accelerator. It is absolutely phenomenal! You learn the material, it's not just endless memorization. It teaches a good base vocabulary and grammar. It is absolutely worth your time. Easily, the best money I've ever spent.

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!

GBSo 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.
