Hi there!

Do you come across new Russian words that you forget faster than you learn?

Yep, happens all the time.

Here’s what you do. Create a word list and start adding new words you’ve been learning. It’ll be your best friend for mastering new vocab, improving your Russian and just becoming an intelligent all-round Russian speaker.

While we’re at it, care to access other Russian learners’ word lists too? As of now, you can!

With Custom Lists, an exclusive mobile web app for Premium and Premium PLUS users, you create, study and share your Russian wordlists with others.

Custom Lists is a mobile web app, accessible with any browser on any device, PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, or tablet. It’s your own ever-growing collection of vocab lists to study. Create your word lists by making new entries or by picking from lists created by other users, or default lists provided by RussianPod101.

What’s even better is that you’re not the only one. Other Russian learners are creating their lists and adding words, which you can sneakily swipe for yourself through the Discovery or the Word Feed section.

In short, with Custom Lists you can…

• Create new lists and add your own Russian vocabulary
• Add pictures to your entries with a camera functionality
• Browse, steal or just get “inspired” by other users’ custom lists with Discovery
• See the most recently added words by other users in Word Feed
• Access ready-made default lists provided by RussianPod101
• Access the mobile web app on any device and browser
• Track your progress and the number of words you’ve added
• Use Custom Lists for all 29 of our languages

Custom Lists is currently open to all RussianPod101 Premium and Premium PLUS users!
Simply visit https://customlists.innovativelanguage.com on your computer or mobile device and make sure to save it to your home screen. Use your RussianPod101 login details to sign in and start making your custom word lists!

As usual, we’d like to know what you think! Let us know your suggestions and recommendations, as well as bugs and glitches. Shoot us an email at customlists@innovativelanguage.com

Hello and Wishing You Holiday Cheer,

Well it’s that time of year again when we run around trying to make everyone we love feel special and appreciated (pulling out our hair out the whole while!) but we’re going to dare to ask you one very simple question:

“Why Not?”

Think about it:

• Why Not treat yourself to mini exotic adventures whenever you want?
• Why Not prepare yourself for true adventures in Russia like no tourist could?
• Why Not pad your resume and potentially boost your earnings potential – all while having fun and doing so at your own pace?

And Why Not give yourself the gift that your friends and family will NEVER think of giving: By Finally Learning AND Mastering a New Language Instead of Just “Thinking About It”! We totally understand that life is hectic and that you think there’s no way you have the extra time to learn a new language on your own and that it’s way too expensive to get one-on-one lessons from a bona-fide native speaking instructor…but you’d be 100% wrong!

Because today and today only….

On “Why Not” Wednesday, We’re Offering You a Full 41% Off ANY Premium Subscription Which All Include:

And why not? Each lesson gets you one step closer to mastering the language and opening up a world of new possibilities including better job prospects, traveling and experiencing a foreign land like a true local, and meeting a whole new group of new and exciting people.

And don’t worry: You are indeed going to open a world of new possibilities by truly mastering Russian thanks to our advanced language learning system.
