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!

This course is great! This course is great! The methods used to teach Russian make the content as easy as possible to understand and keep you engaged. Throughout the day I always looked forward to being able to sit down and progress my language skills with Russian Accelerator. If you do happen to get stuck with something or want a clarification, Mark and the RA staff were always quick to respond with help. If you are considering learning Russian, I highly recommend Russian Accelerator.

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!

RA USES PROVEN METHODS RA uses proven methods. As a former teacher, I highly recommend this program if you are serious about learning Russian. It is easy to follow and allows you to use what you have learned immediately. The grammar is introduced naturally making it easier to grasp. As they say, it is how we all learned to speak our native language.

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!
