I came across this company when i downloaded their free language resources; Cyrillic in 3 hours & Russian Made Easy. After completing the RME course I moved onto Russian accelerator and honestly, I think its the best learning decision I've made in my life. Russian is rated as one of the most complex languages to learn. Yes, of course, I likely have not progressed onto the super difficult parts of Russian - however, the Russian I have learnt is significant given the short learning period during which I have been using RA. Russian Accelerator (And RME) use incredibly intuitive methods of teaching to make learning Russian as simple as only needing to dedicate 30 minutes a day in order to feel like you are progressing. Mark and the team use methods such as Super literal translations, allowing you to literally think in Russian just after you learn the new word or phrase. Something I find really handy is that they teach you little catchphrases for each word you learn. It may sound silly, but having these small, friendly sentences in your head is genius and they help you remember tricky Russian words easily! I have sent a few emails to the team over the course and you really do get the sense that they care deeply for you - If I were to email Duolingo or any other app that teaches Russian with a question about the lesson and ask for an explanation, you'd likely not get a response. Whereas with Russian Accelerator, I received replies within hours in a friendly tone and easy explanation!I started learning Russian back in August 2022, and now, at the time of writing, November 2022, I comfortably speak the occasional sentence with my Russian partner; who is shocked every evening about how fast I'm picking up new words and the small grammar changes in the language when talking. I understand fluency is far away from my current ability, but I had never even thought of pursuing Russian beyond basic conversation before taking up RA and RME - now I want to become as fluent as possible! To solidify my learning, I began taking a Russian beginners course at my University (One of the top unis in London for teaching languages) and it is awful in comparison to this course. Even after 2 months of in-person Russian lessons with a native language speaker, I still have not bypassed the difficulty level of Russian which I now understand thanks to these courses. The price of the Russian Accelerator is also awesome!$1 for a 21-day trial?!! Insane value for money and even after the trial has finished, the $300ish price for the course is incredibly cheap for what you are accessing. If anyone reading this is wanting to start Russian, I would recommend following the route I took. 1. Cyrillic in under 3 hours 2. Russian made easy 3. Russian Accelerator The 2 courses before RA helped to build a foundation of Russian grammar which the Accelerator course then build an immense vocabulary upon. Many thanks to Mark and the RA team, what you have created is incredible and a true merit to society. I will update this review in a couple of months with how the course progresses. UPDATE: After 9 months Russian Accelerator is complete! I feel so confident in what I have learned and all I require now is a larger vocabulary to allow me to speak in more situations! All the major grammar patterns and verb conjugations are mastered! I have travelled to Bulgaria and Russia this past year and everyone is truly amazed at the quality of my Russian after only 1 year! Now onto Russian Accelerator 2! Henrik
