But first, if you don’t yet have access to our language learning system, sign up for a free lifetime account right now. Just click the link in the description to get your free lifetime account.

You’ll see lesson one on your dashboard, so click go to lesson to get started. And each lesson is about three to 15 minutes, so you can finish one anytime you have a few spare minutes. Since the lessons are audio and video format, you can just listen or watch, which makes it way easier to consume than reading a textbook, and you can listen on the go with our app, Innovative Language Learning. How do the lessons work? So you might be wondering, how do lessons actually work? Well, it’s super straightforward, and it’s all designed to help you learn as quickly and naturally as possible. All you have to do is press play on a lesson. All lessons are hosted by real teachers and native speakers, so you’re getting authentic language right from the start.

After that, our teachers explain the main grammar point, the words, and any cultural nuances that pop up. Finally, you’ll hear the conversation one last time, but now you’ll actually understand it. When you’re done, we’ll guide you to the next lesson in the pathway, which will build on what you just learned. So you start with basics, like greetings in lesson one. Then in lesson two, you’re introducing yourself. By lesson three, you’re asking how someone is, and all the way from beginner to advanced. Extra tricks for learning faster.

Our teachers are there to respond and help you out. And fourth, use the premium dialogue track. This track is just the conversation in the target language. No translations or anything.

How to Use Parting Phrases and Expressions
Welcome to Can-Do Russian by RussianPod101.com. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use parting expressions in Russian. For example, “Goodnight” is Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) Marina Maslova is talking with her former colleague, Rose Reznikova . As Marina says goodbye, her children join her in saying goodnight. Before you hear their conversation, let’s preview some of its key components. До скорого! (Do skorogo!) “See you soon!” До скорого! До скорого! Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) “Goodnight” Спокойной ночи. Спокойной ночи. Доброй ночи! (Dobroy nochi!) “Goodnight” Доброй ночи! Доброй ночи! До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) “See you. Bye!” До встречи. Пока! До встречи. Пока! Focus on the way each person says goodbye. До скорого! (Do skorogo!) Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) Доброй ночи! (Dobroy nochi!) До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) Once more with the English translation. До скорого! (Do skorogo!) “See you soon!” Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) “Goodnight.” Доброй ночи! (Dobroy nochi!) “Goodnight!” До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) “See you. Bye!” Let’s break down each of these expressions. First, do you remember how Milena says, “See you soon!” До скорого! (Do skorogo!) This starts with до (do), meaning “until.” До . До. Next is скорого (skorogo), meaning something like “upcoming,” in this context. Скорого . Скорого. Note скорого (skorogo) is from скорый (skoryy), meaning “upcoming.” Скорый (Skoryy). Together, до скорого (do skorogo) means something like “until the upcoming,” but translates as “See you soon.” До скорого! (Do skorogo!) Note, до скорого (do skorogo) is a shortened form of the expression до скорого свидания (do skorogo svidaniya) literally “until upcoming appointment,” but translates as “until the coming appointment.” До скорого свидания (Do skorogo svidaniya). When using this expression, свидание (svidaniye), “appointment,” is usually omitted. До скорого! (Do skorogo!) До скорого (Do skorogo) is fairly informal, which indicates a close relationship between Milena and Rose Reznikova , her former colleague. Do you remember how Marina says, “Goodnight.” Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) “Goodnight.” Спокойной ночи. Спокойной ночи (Spokoynoy nochi), literally means “[have a] restful night.” Спокойной ночи . Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) And do you remember how Mikhail says, “Goodnight.” Доброй ночи! (Dobroy nochi!) “Goodnight!” Доброй ночи! Доброй ночи (Dobroy nochi), literally “[have a] Goodnight,” but it translates as “Goodnight.” Доброй ночи! Both expressions used by Marina and Mikhail are used to say goodnight to Rose. You use спокойной ночи (spokoynoy nochi), “Goodnight,” when you don’t plan on seeing someone again that night, and when someone is about to go to bed. It’s like saying “have a goodnight’s sleep.” It’s very informal, and rather used with people you are close to. Do you remember how Rose says? “See you. Bye!” До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) “See you. Bye!” До встречи. Пока! First is до встречи (do vstrechi), “See you.” До встречи. This starts with до (do), which means “until” in this context. До . До. After this is встречи (vstrechi), “meeting.” Встречи . Встречи. Together, До встречи (Do vstrechi), literally “until meeting [you again],” but translates as “See you.” Note: До встречи (Do vstrechi) is an informal parting greeting, and you should avoid it in a formal situation. Next is пока (poka), “bye.” Пока . Пока. All together, До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) “See you. Bye!” До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) This sentence is informal. Rose uses this to say goodbye to everyone. She’s the most senior person in the conversation, and she uses informal language to sound friendly. The following expressions are used when you expect to see the person, or people, again in the near future, such as this week or the following week: До встречи (Do vstrechi), “See you.” До скорой встречи (Do skoroy vstrechi), “See you soon.” Увидимся (Uvidimsya), “See you.” When parting, it’s not unusual for speakers to add an additional good-bye phrase to their parting greeting. For example, Всего доброго (Vsego dobrogo) or Всего хорошего (Vsego khoroshego), literally “all of good,” but it translates as “all the best.” Бывай здоров(а) (Byvay zdorov(a)), literally, “be healthy,” but it translates as “take care.” Note: Бывай здоров, is kind of old-fashioned, and it’s often shortened to бывай (byvay). There is an interesting Russian expression worth mentioning: Прощай (Proshchay), meaning “farewell.” You use this phrase when you do not expect to see someone ever again. In colloquial language, Russians often add давай (davay) to good-bye phrases. For example, Давай, пока (Davay, poka). “Bye.” Давай, пока . Literally, давай is a command meaning “give.” Adding давай (davay) does not change the meaning of the greeting. Let’s look at some examples. Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speaker. До скорого! (Do skorogo!) “See you soon!” До скорого! (Do skorogo!) Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) “Goodnight.” Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) До встречи. (Do vstrechi.) “See you.” До встречи. (Do vstrechi.) Пока! (Poka!) “Bye!” Пока! (Poka!) Доброй ночи! (Dobroy nochi.) “Goodnight!” Доброй ночи! (Dobroy nochi.) До свидания. (Do svidaniya.) “Goodbye.” До свидания. (Do svidaniya.) Did you notice the last parting expression? До свидания. (Do svidaniya.) “Goodbye.” This starts with до (do), “until” in this context. До. Next is свидания (svidaniya). “Appointment.” Свидания . Свидания. Together it’s до свидания (Do svidaniya), “goodbye.” До свидания.. До свидания. You can use this greeting in all situations, no matter if you plan to meet the person again or not. It can be used in formal and informal situations. До свидания (Do svidaniya). Let’s review. Respond to the prompts by speaking aloud. Then repeat after the native speaker, focusing on pronunciation. Ready? Do you remember how to say, “See you soon!” До скорого! (Do skorogo!) До скорого! (Do skorogo!) And how Marina says, “Goodnight.” Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) Do you remember how Mikhail says, “Goodnight.” Доброй ночи. (Dobroy nochi.) Доброй ночи. (Dobroy nochi.) Do you remember how to say, “See you.” До встречи. (Do vstrechi.) До встречи. (Do vstrechi.) And how to say, “Bye!” Пока! (Poka!) Пока! (Poka!) Do you remember how to say, “See you. Bye!” До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) Let’s practice. Imagine you’re Miroslav Maslov , and you’re talking with Rose Reznikova . Respond by saying “Goodnight.” Ready? До встречи. Пока! (Do vstrechi. Poka!) Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) Listen again and repeat. Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) Спокойной ночи. (Spokoynoy nochi.) Let’s try another. Imagine you’re Mikhail Maslov , and you’re finishing class. Respond by saying “Bye!” Ready? Пока. (Poka.) Пока! (Poka!) Listen again and repeat. Пока! (Poka!) Пока! (Poka!) Let’s try one more. Imagine you’re Marina Maslova , and you’re finishing coffee with your college friend, Natalia . Respond by saying “See you.” Ready? До скорого! (Do skorogo!) До встречи. (Do vstrechi.) Listen again and repeat. До встречи. (Do vstrechi.) До встречи. (Do vstrechi.) In this lesson, you learned how to use basic parting greetings in Russian. This plays an essential role in the larger skill of using basic greetings. Let’s review. Do you remember the polite way to say “Hello?” Здравствуйте (Zdravstvuyte) Здравствуйте (Zdravstvuyte) Do you remember how to say, “Good evening?” Добрый вечер. (Dobryy vecher.) Добрый вечер. (Dobryy vecher.) Imagine you’re Marina Maslova , and you’re meeting your friend Natalia Ivanova in the morning, after a short small talk you part your ways. Do you remember the informal way to say “Hello?” Привет! (Privet!) Привет! (Privet!) Respond to your friend Natalia greeting you first. Привет! (Privet!) Привет! (Privet!) Listen again, and repeat. Привет! (Privet!) Привет! (Privet!) And do you remember how to say “Bye?” Пока! (Poka!) Пока! (Poka!) Respond to Natalia Ivanova . Пока. (Poka.) Пока! (Poka!) Listen again, and repeat. Пока! (Poka!) Пока! (Poka!) Well done! This is the end of the lesson and the Can Use Basic Greetings unit of this course. Remember, these Can Do lessons are about learning practical language skills. What’s next?

How to Learn MORE Russian Words Fast
Wanna learn new words and phrases fast, so you can speak and understand more of your target language? In this video, you’ll learn all about Spaced Repetition Flashcards You’ll learn about why this particular study tool is so useful and how using it can help keep vocabulary words fresh in your mind. First: here’s what’s new with our flashcards You can now access your flashcards on any mobile device. They’re mobile responsive. So, visit the site on any device: iPhone, iPad, Android or any tablet. Access the Flashcards, and learn anywhere, anytime. But what if you’re a new language learner and have never seen this tool before? Second: What are spaced repetition flashcards? What are they and how do spaced repetition flashcards teach you words and phrases better than regular flashcards? First, imagine a regular flashcard. Imagine a teacher is quizzing you with paper flashcards. On the front, you see the word in the target language. The meaning of the word is on the other side. Your teacher shows you the target language word and asks you what the word means. If you get the answer right, your teacher puts the card in a pile of “correct answer” cards. If you get the answer wrong, your teacher puts the card in a pile of “wrong answer” cards. Spaced repetition flashcards are like a digital version of this, but a computer sorts your answers into “correct answers” and “wrong answers” and then chooses which cards to quiz you on accordingly. With a spaced repetition flashcard, you see a word. You mark whether you know it or not. You learn whether you were right or wrong. Then, you get the next word. But what exactly is Spaced Repetition? Third: How Spaced Repetition works This is the part of the tool that makes the flashcards so powerful. If you get a word wrong, you’ll see that card more often, until you get it right. The card will keep popping up until you remember the answer. Spaced repetition flashcards help you focus on the words you don’t know yet, or the words you’re weak with instead of asking you to review words you already know well. If you get a word right, you’ll see that word again in perhaps 2 days. If you get the word right again after waiting 2 days, you might see the word 4 days later. Then 16 days later, and so on. As you study and remember words, the flashcards will appear less frequently. This is because you’re remembering the vocabulary and don’t need to spend time studying the words you already know. Spaced repetition flashcards help you study words at the right time. The flashcards will track your progress. This means you don’t have to remember which words you got right or wrong. The flashcards you are quizzed on will be customized to your knowledge level every time you study. And the quizzes will also help you keep your memory fresh. Remember, we don’t learn things simply by seeing them once. By repeating our studies over a period of time, we remember things better. And the best part is that you can study vocabulary and phrases in just a few minutes a day. So, if you’re on the train or bus going to work, you can put that time to use. Take out your phone and learn new words. Just a couple minutes every day will help you learn new words fast.

How to Give Your Name in Turkish – Part 1
Hello! Merhaba! What’s up everyone? Welcome to another Turkish whiteboard lessons. Today we have a fun topic. We will talk about how to give your name in Turkish. Are you guys ready? Let’s get started. First, let’s look at our dialogue. Merhaba, Ben Demir Dilber. Memnun oldum. Ben de memnun oldum. Ben Defne Deniz Now let’s look at the English translation. Hello, I’m Demir Dilber. Pleased to meet you. I’m also pleased to meet you. I’m Defne Deniz Do you see the structure here? Let’s look at the structure. Let’s see our sentence pattern. Ben [Name] Ben Seda, for example. Or you can say, Adım [Name]. Again, same structure. Ben [Name] Adım [Name] Ben Seda Adım Seda Easy, right? Okay, let’s see what we have here. The grammar. Okay, let’s see the grammar. As you can see, to be verb often omitted in Turkish, which makes it very much easier. Ben means I. As you can see, you don’t say I am. You just say I. Ben Ben Seda Or let’s look at this one. Adım This means my name. My name As you can see, we don’t have my name is. We don’t have M is are. We don’t have the to be. Ben Adım That’s it. Just one word. If you learn that one word, you can say your name in Turkish. Okay, let’s see what we have next. We have the vocabulary. Let’s see our Turkish vocabulary first. Merhaba This means hello. And I want to say something. Normally, we don’t read the H in merhaba. We say Merhaba Let’s see the next one Memnun oldum Pleased to meet you. Let’s see the next one. Ben de memnun oldum. I’m also pleased to meet you. Okay? Okay, let’s see the next part. Let’s see our linguistic insight. If you want to say this, pleased to meet you, in a full proper form, you would say Tanıştığımıza memnun oldum. Okay? I’m pleased to meet you. But literally, tanıştığımıza means that we met. I’m pleased that we met. How this goes? Tanışmak. Okay? This is to meet. And when you add tanıştığımıza, this is the suffix. A little bit complicated for now. But this makes the sentence that we met. So, memnun oldum. I am pleased that we met. Okay? So, you know the formal structure as well.
