Another Fall has come and gone and just like that, another iPhone model has hit the market, along with iOS updates for all. If you’ve updated your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to iOS 6 already and tried looking for your favorite InnovativeLanguage.com podcast, you may be scratching your head wondering if we’ve packed our bags and closed up shop.

We haven’t. In fact, we continue to release new lessons every single week in over 25 languages!

Here are some tips on where to find us and listen on-the-go!*

Using the Podcast App

To find these apps using iOS 6, you’ll need to download Apple’s Podcast app. (Here’s a quick link to the free download.) Once you have the Podcast app installed, you’ll be able to find us under Education or by searching for us. With one tap of a finger, you can download our latest lessons and subscribe to our feed. Once you’re subscribed, these podcast feeds will be added to your library in the Podcast App.

The app itself is made with podcast users in mind. Jump forward and backwards by 10 and 30 second intervals (great for when you want to jump right to the grammar or go back to review the vocabulary) and share your favorite lessons through Twitter, Message and email. The recent update of the Podcast app also allows you to keep your podcast library up-to-date across devices using iCloud.

Using iTunes to Sync

If you prefer using the built-in Music app on your iPhone or iPad, you can still access your podcasts by syncing with iTunes on your computer. Just be sure to delete or not download the Podcast App and know that you won’t be able to download new lessons from your device. (Unfortunately, that’s only possible through the Podcast app.) Using the Music app, you can still tap to view our lesson dialogue and create your own playlists.

No matter how you choose to listen to our lessons, be sure to sign up for a Free Lifetime Account at RussianPod101.com to access 7 days of free Premium access and free tools like the Russian Word of the Day, Core 100 Words List and more!

Dear Reader,

“You’ll Never Master a Language!”

That’s what my foreign language teacher, Mr. Barry, told me many years ago. “I’m sorry, you just don’t have an aptitude for languages” is what he added.

Well, he was wrong, and I knew it.

I went on to master Japanese, a much harder language than the one Mr. Barry taught, obtaining a master’s degree from a top Japanese university and founding a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo.

My name is Peter Galante, founder of Innovative Language Learning, and I’m here to tell you the story of how I proved them wrong.

So how did I go from language class failure, to founder of a language learning company with over 200 million language lessons delivered?

The secret lies in my story below. Most people will spot it the first time through. So read slow and carefully.

First, learning a language – what does it take? Brains? Genes? Memory?

Sure, they help. But as my teacher had honestly pointed out, I couldn’t do it.

Learning Japanese as it’s spoken in real life was my goal. I wanted to use Japanese I heard in real life, in movies, songs, online, in letters from friends.

I didn’t want to learn boring grammar out of a book…I wanted to speak to people, watch movies and learn about Japanese culture.

But this was frowned upon. Using fun and interesting phrases outside the textbook was frowned upon. We were studying to pass some silly tests.

My passion for learning languages was deep; however, and I stuck with learning languages on my own. When I learned Japanese, I learned from Japanese speakers who give you what you need to know – authentic, real life Japanese.

It’s no different for you and Russian.

With lessons that guide you through conversation and translations that break it all down, word by word, grammar point by grammar point.

After all, if you had all this, you’d be ready to speak Russian right away, right?

Well, this is the fun, fast, and easy method I learned with.

And this is the same exact way the very first lesson was created. And the method works. How do I know? Because these lessons have reached over 200 million downloads worldwide and that number grows hourly.

“You’ll Never Master A Language?”
