I have tried so many ways to learn Russian, which is really a difficult language to learn, and was close to giving up. Then I found Russian Accelerator and understod that the problem I had faced so far hadn't to do with me, but rather with bad pedagogic. Mark and his team at Russian Accelerator are on a whole other level, making it easy and fun to learn - and surprisingly fast, as well as to understand important principles. It's almost like healing yoga classes to sit down with the lessons and that's why it's easy for me to give 5 stars! Me: Swedish speaking, without any special talent for foreign languages.

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 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.

One of the best language learning programs I've used to date. Based on contextual language learning, Russian Accelerator/Mark and his team provide lessons that I truly enjoy starting my day with or listening to in the car. If you're looking for a Russian language program, I highly recommend this one.

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.

I cannot recommend this course enough. Mark & Team's method of instruction is insanely effective. You're able to speak relevant sentences right from the beginning! The course is everything you wished your high school Spanish could have been. Skip the memorization of verb endings, teach the most relevant vocabulary first, learn whole phrases in context, listen to native speakers with fast speech and varying pronunciation. I went through the Russian Made Easy (free) podcast on Spotify first and was concerned the Russian Accelerator would be repetitious, but it has been the perfect complement. The Read Russian videos on the site (also free!) worked so well, and made Cyrillic a breeze. This course is empowering and truly makes learning a (very difficult!) language entirely achievable. Thank you so much, Mark and team. 100/10 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!

In all my years and many attempts to learn Russian, I've always had to move on to some other focus for a while. When I come back to learning, I find myself frustrated at having forgotten too much, and having to backtrack significantly, which affects my enthusiasm. Listening to the Russian Made Easy podcast was my first time truly understanding certain grammatical concepts. I didn't fully understand why I was finally getting it, I just knew that it made sense like never before. When I finished that, I didn't hesitate to sign up for Russian Accelerator. Predictably, I recently had to take a bit of a break. I was dreading coming back to it, because of my previous experience of having to backtrack. But to my delight, the concepts stuck, I picked up right where I left off, and my enthusiasm has not waned. You could point to the specific techniques used, or you could say it has more to do with my attitude and dedication, but I think there's something more to it. There's a certain magic to the way that RA works, at least with my own way of digesting information. I can't wait to learn more, finish, review, and enjoy using this beautiful language.
