Learn Russian with RussianPod101.com! You are sitting in your class at the university in Russia today, and your professor promises a special challenge. You must admit, you are a little nervous. In the past, ’special challenge’ has meant anything from pop-quizzes to his grandmother’s secret recipe…blech, now THAT was a challenge! As your professor approaches the podium, he starts up the projector and begins showing slides of what appears to be animals from Australia. You are thoroughly confused now. He explains in Russian, “Your test results on the last exam were so bad that I decided I would give you an easy bonus grade. For each of these animals that you can name in Russian, I will give you five points on your exam…and believe me, you ALL need it!” With that, the class erupts into applause…but not you. You learned the names for common pets in Russia and even the Russian names of common zoo animals. But you NEVER thought about learning how to say ‘platypus’ or ‘kangaroo’ in Russian. Well, you’ll know when you retake his class next semester… Learning Russian with RussianPod101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Russian!

Learn Russian with RussianPod101.com! You are enjoying what was a quiet picnic lunch in a quiet Russian park, when suddenly, your children come barreling towards you screaming! It seems like it takes ten minutes to calm them and their friends down enough so that you can concentrate on one voice at a time! Your son yells in Russian, “Mom, mom!!! We were at the pond and we saw something moving in the water!!” His friend, equally excited, continues in Russian, “Come see, come see!! Pleeeease! What IS it?” Laughing, both out of relief and because they are adorable, you agree to go explore the depths of the pond with them. As you reach the edge of the water, both boys are tugging at you and screaming in Russian, “See it? There it is!! What is that???” You move a little closer to get a better look, almost stumbling into the water (which you are SURE they would have enjoyed tremendously), when you realize what it is they are talking about. You point to the little swimmer in the water and tell the boys in Russian, “That is a frog…and that one there, that is a newt.” The boys stare into the water with a newfound fascination; you can almost hear the wheels spinning in their heads, when they turn and look at you and both reply in Russian, “Can we keep him, can we keep him?
