    Introducing the New RussianPod101.com Dashboard!

    Greetings from Team RussianPod101!

    We’re stopping by the blog today to tell you about an exciting new feature we’re slowly rolling out on the website. A few select users have been chosen to test drive the new Dashboard feature.

    Log in to your account today to see if you’re one of them!

    The new Dashboard aims to help you track your Russian learning quickly and easily. We’ve produced a lot of lessons in our lifetime and while we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of lessons to our users, we realized that it can been pretty overwhelming for some.

    Where do I start? What level is best for me? What series do I move on to now?

    These were common questions coming in from avid users like you, so we set out to solve these commonly asked questions, and the Dashboard was born!

    We’ll of course continue to listen to our fans and tweak the Dashboard to provide the very best experience for everyone. If you have questions or feedback for us, send us an email here.

    To help you get started, here are a few of the big changes:

  • Dashboard Home: The dashboard is now your homebase at RussianPod101. Anything you need to know about your account and learning progress can be found right here. You’ll see:
    • Your learning progress
    • Recommended lesson alert
    • Your learning profile
    • Account information
    • Quick links to useful tools
  • My Courses: For any series, when you check a lesson complete, your progress will be updated on the Dashboard.
  • New Lesson Recommendation: To help new members get started quicker, we’ve created a recommended learning curriculum based on your level. These series were chosen by our teachers as the the best way to start with RussianPod101.com.
  • RussianPod101.com News: Be sure to check the news each time you log in for feature updates, amazing deals and more!
  • Quick Links: Of course, there’s more to our website than just the Dashboard. We’ve compiled a list of quick links to help you get to helpful site tools like Flashcards, My Word Bank and the Browse Lessons list.
  • Footer: Finally, we gave a facelift to our site footer because…well, we just felt like it! Just like before, you can learn all about RussianPod101.com and parent company InnovativeLanguage.com from the links in our footer.
  • We hope you enjoy the brand new Dashboard! Stay tuned for more tweaks and updates to the site and head over to RussianPod101.com to test out the new Dashboard beta.

    Speak Russian in 3 Minutes with a New Video Series!

    Hello Listener,

    What can you do in 3 minutes?

    You can…

    Check your Facebook feed…(and accomplish nothing)
    Stare at your homework assignment in confusion…

    OR learn to introduce yourself in Russian, pick up new phrases and start speaking a new language.

    Three minutes is all you need.

    Introducing our newest video series, Learn Russian in Three Minutes.

    In this 25-lesson series, you’ll learn the basics needed to talk confidently with Russian speakers. Our Russian lesson host will take you step-by-step through must-know phrases such as “Hello, my name is…” and “Thank You/You’re Welcome.” The phrases and conversation get more advanced as the series progresses.

    How It Works
    In each lesson, every phrase is broken down on screen while the lesson host explains the grammar and composition. That’s the beauty of video!

    Plus, you’ll get what many Russian beginners don’t get to learn until much later: tips on sounding like a natural when interacting with Russian speakers.

    Three minutes is all you need.
