A free Russian course
Learn Russian by listening, one short conversation a day.
Understanding comes from exposure. Each day brings a short, natural conversation in everyday Russian, with an English translation and stress marks, from your first words to fluent speech.

- A1 to C2 six levels
- 325 with audio
- English translations
- Free Anki decks
- No sign-up
How a day works
- Listen
Hear the day's conversation, recorded by native speakers. A lesson still waiting for its recording is read line by line.
- Read along
Follow the Russian with its English. Stress marks show which syllable to stress.
- Review
Keep every line with a free Anki deck, mark the day done, and come back tomorrow.
After each day, spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Russian, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.
Why listening first
Inspired by input-based methods like Antimoon, AJATT and the ALG method: no grammar drills, no speaking before you're ready. You understand more each day, and speaking follows.
No need to search for materials either: native audio, simple guidance and ready-made Anki decks to review what you've heard are all here, so you can learn Russian naturally and for free.
Who is this course for?
- You learn best through input: by listening, reading, and taking in language in context.
- You want to build understanding before worrying about speaking.
- You use, or are open to, tools like Anki for long-term memory.
