WHAT STUDENTS SAY

How did it go
for other students?

“It’s a great course, thank you very much. I used what I’d learned to start lessons with a tutor, and he was impressed that in just a few weeks I was able to read at that level and speak my first phrases.”

“This program really helped me! I couldn't figure out where or how to start learning Russian, but thanks to these materials, within just a week I was already asking all my relatives what they did for a living and talking about myself 😂”
J
JackCanada
“For a long time I tried to pick up the basics of Russian on my own from various sources, mostly by watching YouTube videos and searching Google. However, whenever I tried to put what I’d learned into practice, I kept running into rules or words I hadn't encountered before. In the end, after already knowing some vocabulary and a bit of the alphabet, I completed the program and cleared up all my questions regarding the essentials and now I’m moving forward with confidence!”

“I hadn't really planned on learning Russian, but I really love your content on Instagram. So I decided it would be cool to know the basics and be able to read in Russian to get a feel for the learning process. This course fully met my need for a solid foundation. Очень хорошо!”
L

“At first, even the Russian alphabet looked intimidating to me. I liked that I could take it one small set at a time and study at my own pace. A few weeks later, I caught myself reading words out loud and putting together a little introduction about myself. I didn’t expect to get there so soon.”

“I met an amazing Russian girl, and I felt I just had to impress her with my knowledge of Russian. But I soon realized that the language is far from easy to learn! I tried many different options before finding this course, which guided me through the basics practically holding my hand the whole way. Now, I’m continuing to learn Russian with my girlfriend’s help :) Thanks for such a solid start!”

BEFORE YOU START

A few questions
you might have

I’m a complete beginner. Can I start from zero?

Absolutely! We’ll start with the Russian alphabet and pronunciation, so you can join even if you’re starting from scratch.

I’ve already started learning Russian on my own. Is this program still for me?

Yes! We’ll go through the basics step by step, so you can connect what you’ve already learned and fill in the gaps. The quiz above will give you a feel for whether there’s still something new for you here.

What will I be able to do after 30 days?

You’ll be able to read Russian, introduce yourself, say where you’re from and what languages you speak, and talk a little about your family and work. You’ll also learn 400+ useful words and phrases — the building blocks for your first simple conversations.

How does the program work?

I’ve organised everything into daily Quizlet sets, with Russian audio recorded by me. You’ll just need a free Quizlet account to use them.

How much time do I need each day?

I recommend setting aside about 10–15 minutes a day. Some days have a couple of short sets, but that’s just a guideline. You can move through the program faster or take your time, whatever works best for you.

Can I study at my own pace and come back to the materials later?

Of course! The 30 days give you a suggested path, but you can take it at your own pace. And you’ll have lifetime access to the materials, so you can come back whenever you like.
