Have solid conversations in Russian in 90 days
A course that teaches you how to speak conversational Russian in 90 days.
Save years of effort and thousands of dollars.
I know people that have spent years trying to learn Russian - what did they get in return for all their effort and huge investment in classes?
Best case scenario: they could read Russian and hold conversations. Worst case? The ability to mumble a couple of heavily-accented phrases and confuse native Russian speakers.
Why risk being the latter? Learning Russian is a complex skill. Many people think it's one of the hardest languages in the world.
Not only is the vocabulary completely different from English (any non-slavic language, really). Also, the pronounciation gives many students nightmares.
Can you say (or hear) the difference between Ш and Щ?
Exactly.
And I remember the day I found out Russian had 6 cases. Knowing only Dutch and English, that was the day I seriously considered quitting learning Russian forever.
Look, the problem why many people fail to reach a conversational level is not some personal flaw, laziness, or 'lack of motivation'. It's not even the fault of many language schools.
The problem is that most people take a one-sided approach. All grammar, no speaking? Yes, that's 90% of language classes.
All speaking, no grammar? That's what you hear from famous bloggers.
Or how about Duolingo's promise?

It's a great app to get some basic vocabulary. But there are 1000's of people who are Duolingo masters, yet can barely speak a coherent sentence...
The main problem today is not that the knowledge isn't available.
The main problem is that there's too much information available. And if you pick the wrong courses, or even the wrong approach for your personality... that can cost you years of fruitless learning.

Learning the Russian language is not like learning how to bake a delicious apple pie.
It's a complex skill with moving components. Memory, verbal cognition, processing speed and listening, all need to be trained to have conversations in Russian.
Duolingo is great for memorizing common words, but it does nearly nothing for the rest.
Learning Russian is more like picking a lock. Just focusing on one lever won't help you break it.
You need a clever tool set that focuses on gently moving each lever of the lock in position.
A verbal tool set that helps you:
- learn words and remember them
- understand SPOKEN Russian
- connect grammar to speaking
- form coherent sentences yourself
And most importantly: keep things reasonably fun for yourself to stay motivated in the longer haul.
That's why I'm offering you:
The Russian Conversational Blueprint

About me
Ari Helderman
I'm a Dutch guy who started learning Russian 5 years ago. I got tired of seeing how many people struggle (or even quit) learning the Russian language because they're taking ineffective approaches. So I decided to make a course how I learned Russian at a high level - and how you can do the same.
I've been featured on:

Why this course is different from other methods of learning Russian
Most courses about learning Russian are made by native Russian speakers. That's great if you want to learn grammar, but they're not that helpful for speaking.
I'm a native Dutch speaker. I learned Russian the hard way. I've gone through all the mistakes myself. I know how it feels to learn Russian from scratch. I also didn't know the alphabet when I started. I struggled with Russian cases. And spend a lot of time figuring out how to learn (and remember) weird sounding Russian words.
Also, the course is not a Russian words or grammar guide. It won't teach you the 100 most common phrases you need as a tourist. Or how to conjugate the genitive case for plural masculine nouns. Anyone can find that with 1 Google search. The course is a method that explains you how you can effectively learn conversational Russian from home.
You'll avoid all the common mistakes that Russian learners make. You'll save tons of time, energy and money by following an effective method that focuses on speaking.

Who should buy this course
( + who shouldn't) ?
It's an investment, really.
If you want to learn Russian, you have several options in 2021:
- Go to university: plan to pay $10,000 to $50,000 and 4 years of your life.
- Move to Russia: potentially super effective, but life changing.
- Take classes: depending where you live, you'll pay $20 to $50 per class. 3 times per week for 52 weeks is on average $5460.
- Online tutors: the average private Russian teacher online is $9 per hour. Again 3 times per week for 52 weeks is $1404
I know this is like comparing apples to pears in a way, but the point stands. Why risk getting an old-fashioned class/teacher/university for a large price sticker? Especially since most classes and teachers use the old-fashioned 'high school' language lesson method, I wouldn't take the risk.
I've learned Russian on my own. I've never taken classes. This course teaches the principles I used to learn Russian. It uses modern technology and resources + it focuses on speaking.
You also get email access to me, so if at any point you're stuck with something, send me an email. I'm usually able to quickly pinpoint the problem, and give you concrete advice how to start progressing again.

What others say about the course:

-Max Jansen
"I expected a course filled with more Russian words, but this course has a strong emphasis on something more important: The psychology and logistics of learning. And perhaps most importantly: how to have fun! This is a clear, concise, no-nonsense, comprehensive how-to course on how to learn Russian in the 21st century.
Ari provides timelines and a step-by-step path for the most common types of lifestyles and schedules. He also sets appropriate expectations and gives me confidence that I can achieve a decent level of speaking within the given time-frames, if I just follow the schedules."

-Nick van Bommel
"It is no secret to an avid learner of any language that the internet is filled with courses and videos to help you achieve all your linguistic dreams. You probably tried a few of them yourself and found that after the honeymoon is over the struggle begins and you find you're having a harder time keeping to your studies.
That is where the Russian Conversational Blueprint comes in. It does not aim to learn you verbs, nouns or cases. Instead, it seeks to teach you HOW to learn the language itself, which makes it an immensely valuable course besides any course material you might already own."
There's no better time to start working on your Russian skills than NOW.
Don't delay - this is your chance to turn your dream of speaking fluent Russian into reality.
I'm ready to share all my experience and knowledge with you.
I guarantee that if you want to learn to speak conversational Russian - or upgrade your current skills - then this course is a Godsends for you.
It's $79 for the knowledge of a lifetime. And every single cent is backed by a full money-back guarantee for 90 days. You simply cannot lose.
I guess I've said all I can.

This is the course I wish I had taken when I started learning the Russian language 5 years ago.
