New! My Tools for Premium Members Updated

Hello Listener,

Just one of many redesigns coming your way!

Recently became a Premium member? Don’t know your way around?
Premium tools can really speed up your Russian progress. If you know how to use them, that is.

When you visit My Tools you’ll notice a cleaner layout, descriptions, quick links, and video tutorials perfect for new members who have just started exploring the fast track to Russian fluency!

Ready to start?

Check out Word Bank and Flashcards! Since you’ll come across a lot of words and phrases in our lessons that you’ll want to remember, save them in Word Bank and drill them with spaced repetition Flashcards. More words means having more to say in Russian, after all!

Want to review your lessons later? You should – the more you review, the more the Russian language will get stuck in your head. Take notes with Notes as you listen, bookmark lessons in Favorite lessons, or download them with My Feed!

Find RussianPod101 on Google+

Hello Listener,

Social media is all the rage nowadays. Networks are popping up left and right. And dropping off as well. Anybody remember MySpace?

*crickets* Hello?

Ah, well… In the meantime, RussianPod101 has made its way to Google+!

In case Facebook isn’t your cup of tea but you’re looking to squeeze in some extra Russian learning in between reading your friends’ updates, pay us a visit!

You can also stop by to ask a Russian related question, or just say hi! Or if you’re on every social media network (like us!) and just want to expose yourself to more and more Russian…

What’s interesting at Google+

1) Circles and Streams: Create a circle exclusively for Russian learning. Selecting to see the stream from the Russian circle narrows the content you see on your homepage down to Russian exclusively.

What this means: Posts like the Word of the Day and lesson notifications won’t get lost in a sea of cat pictures and status updates. Get JUST the Russian content. That’s focused studying for you!

2) Hangouts: Have up to 10 people on group video chat.

What this means: Get to hang out and practice Russian with other Russian learners!

However, we’re total Google+ newbies so bear with us as we get the hang of it!
