+- Will your program work for me?
Our “software only” programs work well for everyone who is disciplined enough to consistently use them. Unfortunately, not everyone has this level of discipline.
Fortunately, our Intensive Russian programs work for almost everyone with a much lower level of self-discipline required. While you still have to show up online and study to learn Russian, our intensive programs are much easier to stick with because the live teachers are so motivating.
+-Which software only package should I buy?
For software only packages, you should buy the cheapest plan that will meet your study needs right now. You can always upgrade later.
+-How many Intensive Russian weeks should I sign up for?
Any intensive study plan of two weeks or longer will very noticeably improve your ability to speak Russian. Total beginners will become conversant in about 8 weeks. Pick a number of weeks that fits your schedule and your budget.
Longer courses done all at one time are MUCH more effective than spreading out the same amount of study weeks over a year.
+- I already speak a little Russian, can I buy Russian 2 or 3?
Yes, you can. The price is the same as Russian 1. Just buy the Russian 1 package and then contact Customer service and they will manually change your order to the one you want. If you only buy Russian 1 or 2 now, you can add 2 or 3 later for $100$50 per month.
+- Will Language101.com work on my phone, iPad, tablet, Mac, etc?

+- When will we charge your card?
If you are signing up for one of our software only packages, after you click on the second “Start My 30 Day Free Trial” button at the bottom of the sign up page, you will be offered an additional 20% discount to pay now instead of at the end of 30 days.

If you are signing up for an Intensive Russian course, we will charge your card after your first free day, and only if you have decided to continue.
+- Who shouldn't buy our program.
Our software only programs are for self disciplined people who want to focus on speaking and understanding Russian . All of our software only success stories (see below) are from people who have a strong ability to consistently do hard work that is often boring before it’s finally fun. That is a small minority of people.
Our Intensive Russian courses work for almost everyone (even people without much self discipline) because our live online teachers are so motivating. If you know that you don’t have much self discipline you should take an intensive language course either from us or from some other school.
