Seriously?

Bro! Episode 1, reads a 3-minute paragraph, then asks what percentage I understood…how many words. Dude, it’s lesson ***ONE***! I understood exactly 0. What did you expect? Bye

Amazing!

This podcast is great! I love how many different topics Fedor covers while teaching. And it’s always fun to listen to him and Victoria. It’s taught me many new things and had improved my listening abilities as well. I highly recommend!!

Great pace and use of vocab

I’m an intermediate Russian student and I love listening to Fedor’s narrations. He speaks clearly and authentically with stories that a learner can easily follow. I recommend his podcasts to my fellow students.

Самый лучший подкаст!

This podcast is excellent for learning ! I enjoy how fedor has different styles of learning from story telling , monologues, conversations, and teaching a student his wife. The talks with Victoria are my absolute favorite! I am Victoria and I have learned so much ! Я вижу прогресс во мне! I listen to episodes everyday and find myself and friends using the phrases fedor teaches and it allows for more fluent conversation! Спасибо спасибо за все!

love the new format with Victoria learning !

I absolutely love this new format with Victoria learning. I am about the same level. What a charming young woman. I really enjoy learning this way. I like the English lesson in the beginning and then an extended period of Russian speaking. It works extremely well for me and there’s really nothing else like this. Thank you so much. It’s been my dream to learn Russian since I was a kid and I’ve only gotten around to it now in my 50s.
