Russian as a foreign language
Thank you so much for participating in our survey!

You can skip most questions if you don't want to answer them, whatever the reason may be. However, we would really appreciate it if you answered as many as you can: the more details we get, the easier it is for us to draw clear conclusions.

The whole survey will take from 5 to 10 minutes.

What tools did you use to learn Russian?
Please, describe your experience in learning Russian. How did you learn it? What methods did you like and why? What didn't you like and why?
What is the main problem in learning Russian?
Please, describe the most difficult part of your educational process. Apart from the complexity of the language itself, were there any obstacles (maybe lack of practice, bad teachers, boring text books, something else?) Did you find a solution?
The perfect way to learn Russian
Imagine a tool (or a combination of tools) that would be ideal for you to learn Russian (even if it doesn't exist in reality). What would it be like?
How much are/were you willing to pay for learning Russian?
It can be monthly expenses, or the total cost to achieve a certain level of proficiency. What percentage of this sum would you be willing to spend for an online service, and what percentage for a tutor?
Have you ever used audio podcasts for learning any foreign language?
Please, describe your experience. What did you like or dislike about it? If you've never used podcasts, why?
What do you think about RusPod?
If you have a free minute, please take a look at our sample lesson: http://ruspod.com/lessons/beginner/1/. Every episode consists of a short dialog in Russian, a 15-minute podcast in English (in which two hosts translate the dialog and help you learn new vocabulary and grammar, and also talk about Russian realities), then detailed lesson review and tests. What do you like about it? What would you change? What don't you like? Why?
Can we contact you later in case we need some clarifications?
If yes, please write down your email address. If not, leave empty. Thanks for your help in any case!
