Course Overview

Welcome to the full course at Russian From Scratch. Each lesson is designed to immerse you in real Russian through video, audio, and ready-made Anki decks — giving you everything you need to learn naturally, without pressure.

The course is meant to be followed in order, but there's no rush. You can move forward when you're ready or revisit previous lessons as often as you like. Repetition is part of the process — it helps your brain internalize the language over time.

Whether you're actively studying or passively listening while walking or relaxing, the key is to keep the input flowing. That’s how understanding deepens — and how Russian becomes a part of you.

If you’ve finished today’s lesson but want to keep the input going, head over to the resources page — you’ll find free Russian podcasts, videos, and other tools to keep immersing yourself in the language.

Lessons are grouped into levels from A1 to C2 on the CEFR scale.
