Tell Us Your Story!

Hello Listener,

Once in a while, we like to pop in out of nowhere and ask:

How you doin’?!

As in, how is your Russian progress going? How has RussianPod101 helped you with learning Russian, school, traveling abroad, or with your Russian grandmother?

We love stories from our listeners about why they started learning Russian, the adventures they’ve been on, and how Russian has become a regular part of their lives. Similarly, we also want to hear about your results and progress!

Whether you have a crazy story for us or just want to drop a few thoughts on how RussianPod101 improved your language skills – we want to know.

Tell us your story – email us at testimonials@russianpod101.com

Celebrate the WTF Holiday – 30% OFF 3-Day Sale

Oh. Don’t act cute with us. We both know WTF means Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. In fact, it’s a holiday that was recently invented by us. Why? September is a relatively dry month – it marks the beginning of a new school year. It is the Monday of Months.

We’re celebrating the WTF Holiday with a 30% OFF Sale on all premium subscriptions.

WTF means the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 30% OFF Sale from 9/21 until 9/23. By sheer coincidence, it also means Where’s the Fridge, and Welcome To France. Strange, we know.

Click here and use Coupon Code WTF for 30% OFF.

The fun and educational audio lessons are what our subscribers love the most! At 30% OFF for all premium accounts, you get to enjoy your favorite series with more of the benefits, at a lower price. Get access to our huge audio and video lesson library, lesson documents, memory building flashcards, 2,000 must-know words (that’s 80% of all conversation), and more.

Users are ready to speak from the first lesson, But – the catch is – this big discount only lasts 3 days because not every day of the week is W.T.F. And nobody is excited about Mondays or Tuesdays. But if you are, let us know in the comments below!

The WTF Sale lasts from 9/21 to 9/23. Get 30% off all premium accounts and lock in at a cheaper price. That’s smart.

Hi Listener,

Remember getting smileys on your homework? Where have those days gone? Smiley face stickers in first grade evolved into nasty red-inked comments from college professors. Learning should be fun and rewarding.

There’s no such thing as too much practice. So, if you’ve been studying hard or easily breezing through, we want to give you an extra push.

1. You’ll become amazing with lots of practice.
