Russian from Zero to Hero

My name is Irina. I am a Russian language teacher. This is my podcast, where I speak Russian slowly, simply, and in an interesting way. I take topics from textbooks but tell real stories.

This is an exclusive episode from my conversational course based on my podcast.

Episodes of the first course were about personal and professional relationship. This time, the course will focus on self-development topics such as time management, productivity secrets, goal setting, and building lasting habits.

✅8 weeks of total immersion in real Russian: Every week, you’ll get access to 2 exclusive podcast episodes. The first one will be simpler to help you learn new words easily and without stress. The second will be more advanced, with conversations between two native speakers. These podcasts are only available to course members, and you’ll have lifetime access to all materials.

✅A workbook better than any textbook (in pdf and interactive platform): It includes podcast exercises to help you to understand the podcast, vocabulary and grammar exercises, transcripts with timecodes, stress marks, and teacher’s notes on keywords and expressions.

✅Quizlet sets with the most important words

✅Weekly discussion meetups

✅A private chat with interactive revision

✅Cultural insights and engaging content: Our podcast listeners love learning about Russian culture, psychology, health, languages, and more. This course turns Russian into a tool for exploring new ideas and personal growth!

Join Irina, a Russian language teacher, and her husband Anton, a native speaker, in their podcast.

In this episode, we dive into the myths and stereotypes surrounding psychotherapy in the post-Soviet space. While seeking therapy has long been a common practice in many Western countries, it has only recently become more accepted in Russian-speaking communities. We discuss why mental health care was often stigmatized, how attitudes have slowly started to change, and the challenges that still remain.
