Welcome to 30-30!

Добро пожаловать в тридцать-тридцать!

This is an audio based program for learning Russian where you’ll learn 30 new words in each 30 minute audio lesson. That’s a LOT, but don’t worry, each lesson builds on the previous lessons with lots of repetition to help you really ‘lock it in’. And we have plenty of other material and lessons in addition to this ‘high-speed’ series for learning Russian.

If you'd like to read along while you listen, you can click here to view the PDF, but we suggest you simply sit back, relax and enjoy. You can then review everything that was covered below.

In the review section, if you want to 'pause' or 'repeat' a sentence, it's very simple. Use 'Ctrl' for 'pause/play' and you can single click on any text and the audio will play that line. To then pause it and give you extra time to try saying it, hit 'Ctrl'.

You can also slow down (or speed up) the audio using the 'slider' below the audio player.

And here's the remainder of the extra practice, starting with "please", "thank you", and "you're welcome":

hello (casual)   (здравствуй)
hello (formal)   (здравствуйте)

Hello. (on the phone)   (Алло.)

And,
Excuse me. (casual)   (Извини.)
Excuse me. (formal)   (Извините.)

And the word for 'okay' : хорошо

And how do you say:
My name is..   (Меня зовут ..)
Nice to meet you.   (Очень приятно.)
Me too.   (Мне тоже.)

And the other way to say ‘Me too.’?
Я тоже.

I don’t know. (Я не знаю.)
I know, I know. (Я знаю, я знаю.)

Who’s that? (Кто это?)
I don’t know. (Я не знаю.)
I don’t know either. (Я тоже не знаю.)

Do you remember these words:

you (casual)   (ты)
you (formal, plural)   (вы)
he   (он)
she   (она)
they   (они)
we   (мы)

We’re at home.   (Мы дома.)
I don’t know where she is.   (Я не знаю, где она.)
I don’t know where he is either.   (Я тоже не знаю, где он.)
It wasn’t me.   (Это не я.)
It wasn’t me either.   (Это тоже не я.)

Me or you?   (Я или ты?)
Him or her?   (Он или она?)
Us or them?   (Мы или они?)
Me and you.   (Я и ты.)
Him and her.   (Он и она.)
Them too.   (Они тоже.)

Is that nice?   (Это приятно?)
Very nice!   (Очень приятно!)

My name is..   (Меня зовут ..)

Me too.   (Мне тоже.)

who, what, where   (кто, что, где)

Not him!   (Не он!)

Excuse me. (casual)   (Извини.)
