Weekly Vocabulary: Real-Life Russian Words 🗓

With Weekly Vocabulary, you’ll explore Russian words and expressions in real-life context, learning how they are naturally used in everyday speech. This series helps you expand your vocabulary step by step, remember new words through practice, and speak more naturally with everyday expressions.

How It Works

Each episode focuses on a few essential words and expressions. Many of them are common in everyday Russian but are often skipped in textbooks. You’ll first see each word in a real-life situation, then get a clear definition, followed by 2—3 short example sentences to understand it in context. After watching, interactive exercises let you review, practise, and remember what you’ve learned.
