First of all, I decided to study Russian in order to know a Slavic Language. I love learning languages as a hobby. I enjoy practicing languages while traveling.

I am learning Russian for a few years. During this time, I have been using several materials, especially audios and vídeo-lessons, and few textbooks about grammar.

Personally, having very little free time is one of the main difficulties to study Russian as well as having bad memory to remember new vocabulary. Russian words are very difficult for me to memorize. I need lots of repetitions.

I like so much "Russian through stories" because the program is based on the "Storytelling method", which is my favorite method to learn foreign languages. Crazy short stories help me remember words associated with situations, not just isolated words. At the same time, using short stories, after many repetitions, I can reproduce language structures and grammar automatically, without thinking. This is the best way to be fluent in any language.

I would like to recommend the "Russian through stories" podcast course to anyone interested in studying Russian. You can even learn many cultural aspects of Russian culture by using this course. You can hear the lessons anywhere: while cooking, while driving while practicing sport... I especially like the short version of the lesson, which is very useful to focus on repetitions.

I will dedicate myself to studying only with this method until I finish all the letters.

Thank you very much for your incredible work. Very professional.

I'm very interested in Russian literature and the Russian countryside (and its culture).

I love how the language sounds and Russian-speaking people always seemed to be very friendly to me. And I like tea and vodka :)

I mainly use Dmitry Gurbatov's Storytelling-method, and I try to combine those courses with the abundance of learning material available online. For now, the only method I use that actually includes active talking is the Story-telling method.

The main difficulty I encountered during my (ongoing) learning process was to learn the vocabulary and the vocal stress (and the lack of accent use in the written language…) – the grammar was fine for me as a native German speaker.

I think Russian podcasts are very good. I like to listen to them when I go for a walk! The quality is great, and I especially enjoy the lessons with Jan (Reverse translation part)

I like the interactive aspect of this program, the clear and entertaining explanation (opposed to the usually very boring explications you'd get in many other language courses) and the rapidly advancing degree of complexity (without becoming overwhelming) – the material is quite dense and enables you to use the language quite fast if you stay put and study with some discipline.

Marlon Görnert, 24 years old, Germany

Translator, teacher, polyglot

I started to learn Russian for travel. I want to visit Russia and see all that beautiful stuff that I see on TV.

Usually, I use YouTube videos by Real Russian Club and others, and sites like pen4pals and Masterrussian.
The main difficulty I encountered was mostly poor memory and a bit of lack of time.

In "Russian Through Stories" program I like that it solves the issue of lack of time, since I can listen whilst going to work, and while doing my work.

Also, I liked this method of Storytelling, even before the story began I was already learning things about Russia, like in the first one where you explain the relation of vodka and perestroika. The second one about the Dachas and so on... Cultural knowledge it's very interesting too.

I think listening is very important, as long as practicing with native speakers, writing and/or speaking.

Thank you two for spending your time to help people!

Меня зовут Марибель Гаравито, я Колумбийка. Этот метод прослушивания эпизода мне очень понравился, потому что это очень интересно, это не скучно и я могу узнать о русской культуре.

Мне 35 лет. Причина, по которой я решила изучать русский язык, заключается в том, что сейчас я живу в Москве и собираюсь учиться в университете РГГУ. В настоящее время я учусь по книгам и грамматическим упражнениям, но так может быть очень трудно учиться, и поэтому я рада этому методу обучения. Я рекомендую его, потому что очень легко учиться, когда вы понимаете и можете слышать каждое слово.

My name is Maribel Garavito, I'm Colombian. I really liked your method because it is very interesting, it's not boring and I can learn about Russian culture.

I am 35 years old. The reason I decided to study Russian is that at the moment I live in Moscow and am going to study at Russian State University for the Humanities. I am currently learning from books and grammar exercises, but it can be very difficult to learn this way, and therefore I am happy with your learning method. I recommend it because it is very easy to learn when you understand and can hear every word.

I'm learning Russian because I want to live in Russia.

I'm doing my best to learn, except watching movies. I`m listening, reading.

Overall, the major challenges I encountered were motivation and humility to learn from mistakes.

In your program, I loved the didactic and interactive way of learning through dialogues and stories.

The lessons are interesting and fun, the theme is topical and there are lots of interaction with dialogues and appropriate vocabulary;)

My advice to those who also want to learn Russian is to have perseverance, humility, and motivation.

Xavier Campos, 38 years old, Spain

I started to learn Russian because initially, I was interested in the culture of the post-Soviet block as well as wanting to communicate with Russian-speaking friends.

I did it on my own through textbooks and private lessons through iTalki.

The main issue I encountered was a lack of time. At the time I was studying full time at university and had different obligations. It was hard to properly devote the time needed to study Russian.

In Russian Through Stories «от А до Я» I like the fact that the stories about the letters of the Russian alphabet are presented in a very interesting way.

The dialogues are appropriate for lower-intermediate learners and are interesting.

I would recommend this program, together with supplementary iTalki

I live in Bogota, the capital of Colombia. I'm 35 years old. I'm learning Russian because I'm going to a Russian university.

I'm using a lot of scholastic materials like textbooks and lectures. The problem is it's boring to learn a language this way. I also have relatively poor memory and vocabulary doesn't stick.

"Russian through stories" program is different. It's very interesting and it teaches you the language in a completely different way. It's something you want to listen to. And this is exactly what one needs when learning Russian.

You should know why you're actually doing this, what is your goal. And since It is not the easiest language to master you should really love it. That's where your program helps!
