Perfect your Russian pronunciation with the New & Improved Voice Recorder. Here’s how…
Hi there listener,
You’re regularly exposed to Russian speakers and conversations in RussianPod101 lessons. But do you actively practice pronunciation and the proper accent?

So, naturally, recording and comparing yourself is one of the best ways of knowing how close your Russian is to native Russian.
In fact, you can start doing this with your Russian lessons at RussianPod101.
We've upgraded & re-added the Voice Recording Tool into your lesson pages. If you’re a Premium member, you’ll find the Voice Recorder in the... Show more
