Hello Listener,

Today, we have 3 ways to help you FULLY understand Russian conversations…simply by listening and reading along. In fact, it works so well, it’s almost like cheating.

Imagine listening to a new Russian conversation: Oh! A word you know! Tons of words you don’t know. And…you’re lost. But, what if you had the lines and translations – everything that’s being said – to read along with? Simply by listening and reading along…

• You understand 100% of the Russian that you hear.
• You stay laser-focused. It’s easy to get distracted with reading or listening alone. Here, you’re much more engaged by 2 senses at the same time.
• Result: You learn Russian faster. New words. New phrases. They’re all translated for you. Your listening improves. If you read out loud, your speaking improves.

How can you do this at RussianPod101? There are 3 ways…
You already learn conversations with every lesson. But here’s how you apply this “listen and read” strategy to truly improve your Russian. If you’re a Basic or Premium user, check these 3 methods out! If not, take advantage of the 31% OFF extension on ALL Premium plans by Nov. 2nd.

1) Brand New Feature! Get Your Lessons in Writing with Lesson Transcripts.
This is a simple but powerful tool. You get the entire transcript of a lesson, word for word. It’s our newest feature. Everything teachers say – dialogues, explanations, tips – from beginning to end, is here for you to read. Find it in the Download PDFs section of any lesson.

Print it out or save it and read along with a lesson!
Click here to check out the new Lesson Transcripts.

2) Read in Russian or with English translations!
This breaks the conversation down so you can hear each line as much as you want. However, it’s just as useful for reading and understanding everything 100% with translations.

Find the Line-by-Line Audio inside the Lesson Materials section.

3) Read along with the In-Depth PDF Lesson Notes
Your lesson notes also carry the conversation in Russian and English. Find them in the Download PDFs section of any lesson. On top of this, you also get in-depth notes on grammar, culture and bonus sample sentences.

4) Sneak Peek Bonus! Captions for Your Video Lessons!
Surprise! There’s a fourth tool, but it’s not quite ready yet. Soon, you’ll be able to read along directly on the screen as you watch your favorite video lessons. Currently, this feature is being tested on several SpanishPod101 video lessons.

Simply by listening and reading along, you’ll master all of the Russian conversations you hear. You’ll never miss a word. You’ll understand everything with instant translations. It’s almost like cheating! Try it out for yourself.

Hello Listener,

Every Russian learner will feel these at some point: “I’m not good enough yet.” “I don’t think I’m making any progress.” Russian learning fears – we all get them from time to time. What are yours? And are they worth being scared of this Halloween season?

But, before we get into the top 4 learning fears, our Monster-Sized Sale starts now!

‘Til Halloween, get 28% OFF the most effective Russian course and start learning Russian! Unlock over 140 hours of audio and video lessons, Premium study tools, apps and more! Basic is as low as $2.88/month and Premium is as low as $7.20/month.

So, below are the top 4 Russian learning fears according to our listeners.

We’re killing all 4 of these fears just in time for Halloween!

1. “I’m not good enough to start speaking yet.”

Here’s how you overcome it.

• The best way to get good at speaking is to start speaking from day 1. If you’re holding yourself back because you think you’re not good enough, well, that’s exactly why you’re not good enough. You need to open your mouth and start talking! But if you’re wondering what to say…
• The second way: In our lessons, you get the exact phrases and scripts for introducing yourself, making small talk, ordering food, expressing opinions and much more! So, if you don’t know what to say, the lessons will give you the exact lines to say.
• Or the third way: Learn with your own teacher with our Premium PLUS plan. You get an actual native-speaking teacher to tell you what to say and how to say it, so you truly do learn to speak with the help of a real native teacher.

2. “I’m afraid I’ll never be fluent.”

Fluency is a very vague, distant goal and focusing on it will set you up for failure. But, if you aim for small goals like 5 minutes of Russian conversation this month, then aim for 10 minutes next month, you’ll soon be speaking Russian with confidence. So while fluency is a big vague goal, small, measurable goals are not. You’ll know when you’ve reached them. You’ll see your improvement.

• Set small measurable goals that you can achieve.

Also, it’s just a matter of time.

The longer you stick with learning a language…the better you get.

3. “I’m afraid that I’m not making any progress.”

There are two things you can do right now:

• First, use the RussianPod101 Dashboard to track your progress. Our Dashboard shows how much you’ve accomplished based on the Russian lessons you’ve completed.
• Second, try a harder lesson. You might not understand it, but you will in minutes. The lessons come with translations. Our Russian teachers explain everything. THEN, you’ll be making progress because you now understand something you didn’t minutes ago.

4. “I’m afraid of not understanding anything I hear.”

This is a very common fear among language learners. To beat this…

• Simply read along with the Line-by-Line or PDF Lesson Notes. By reading along, you’ll instantly understand all of the Russian you hear. This is the fastest way to understand every single word you hear and boost your listening skills.
• Hear the lines again and again with the Line-by-Line. Or, if you’d like to hear a certain line of the dialogue again, listen to it as many as times as you want until you can pick it apart. Still not sure?
• Slow the Russian conversation with the lesson player. Although our teachers slow the conversation down for you, you can also slow down the lesson speed to hear it in super-slow mode.
• And for real-life situations? Learn useful phrases like “Can you say it slower?,” “Can you say it in simpler words?” or even “I don’t understand.” Check out our Survival Phrases series for must-know phrases like this. Know these and you’ll be able to ask a native speaker to slow down and explain what they mean.
