Good start to Russian

Not a lot of vocab learned in this lesson, but the repetition makes it easy to remember. Nice that they revisit words learned earlier in the lesson to help with recall.

I good way to learn a new language

I bought these because they were on sale on Audible one day and I’d always wanted to learn Russian. I listened to these on the train and though at times I napped while listening I still learned. I’ve listened to this book several times and I can understand individuals speaking Russian the news. Give it a go and see what results you get.

I actually know 50 Russian words now!!!!

usually it's almost impossible for me to learn a foreign language this method really breaks it down and audible lets you slow the speaker down also so now I actually know around 50 Russian work very excited can't wait until next months book credit comes I'll do level 2!

Excellent for very beginner

Excellent breakdown of how to say each word in Russian. Goes a little fast on conjugation of verbs (I want vs you want) so you have to pay close attention when you are learning I vs you. Other than that the pronunciation of words is clear. Lots of repetition to help you remember. If it goes too fast you can just back up and repeat a segment. Feels like you are learning to speak the language right away (vs just learning vocabulary).

Very helpful!

Program is well paced and enjoyable. Challenging in places but not too bad. Russia speakers are very good. I’m learning a lot of Russian already! :) Highly recommend.
