Your Russian Pronunciation Learning Path
The 20 episodes are cumulative — each one assumes you’ve mastered the last. This path groups them into five stages so you always know what to do next.
How to use this path
- Go in order. Skipping ahead breaks the cumulative logic of the course.
- Repeat out loud every time the native speaker prompts you — silent listening won’t fix your accent.
- Drill with the “Exercises Only” audio on each episode page once you’ve done the full lesson.
- Use the checkpoints. Don’t pass the Episode 10 midterm or Episode 20 final until you’re comfortable.
Stage 1
Foundations
Episodes 1–3Build the muscle memory the rest of the course leans on. Don’t rush — everything after this assumes you’ve nailed these.
Stage 2
Fluency & Core Sounds
Episodes 4–8Add a fluency technique, then attack the sounds English speakers find hardest.
Stage 3
Consonants in Depth + Midterm
Episodes 9–10Understand voicing, then test everything so far before moving on.
Stage 4
The Tricky Letters
Episodes 11–14Knock out the remaining individual letters that trip learners up.
Stage 5
Real-World & Mastery
Episodes 15–20Apply it to songs, names and places, then sit the final exam.
