What students say

“Buying the slang pack was a great idea. I've been learning Russian for a long time, but 80% of these words were new to me, because I'd always studied from textbooks. I want to have real conversations, and for that I need slang. Thank you so much!”

JaronA2+

“I've been learning Russian for almost a year, but I still struggle to understand how people actually speak. This pack explains so many expressions I kept hearing but couldn't find in my textbook. Really useful!”

E
Emily R.

“My Russian friends say things like «щас» and «ваще» all the time, and I never really understood them 😂 Now it makes so much more sense. I also love that it tells you which phrases are okay to use and which are more casual.”

D
Daniel M.

“Such a handy little guide! The examples are simple, the pronunciation tips help a lot, and I actually enjoyed the dialogues. For €2.49, there's a surprising amount of useful stuff in here.”
