GBI 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!

GBBest I have seen Best I have seen! I learned so much from the podcasts that I just had to sign up for the full Accelerator course. Mark's method is working for me better than anything else has. I am FINALLY getting back the Russian I had in college. I wish I had discovered this earlier. Recommend highly!! Срасиво волшое!!!

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

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!

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.
