USAbsolutely 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!

USI LOVE this class I LOVE this class. I did all of 'Russian Made Easy', their free podcast, and loved it so much I decided to do the Russian Accelerator course as well. I've learned so much, and the lessons are paced really well so i dont get burned out or over whelemed. I think Mark (the teacher) is delightful and im personally grateful to have such an awesome learning experience. Im on section 12 of 18, I havent finished the entire course yet, but I sincerely recommend it so far!

USBest Course Out There I am finishing up Unit 3 right now. I have taken a few language courses in school, but none have compared to this course. I am really enjoying the course and seeing myself grow in the language. I finally understand what you mean when you say "thinking in Russian," I catch myself doing it all the time throughout the day. By far the most comprehensive language course I have ever taken. Thank you for your awesome work Mark and Russian Accelerator Team! I look forward to progressing in the course!

USMark 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

USRussian 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.
