Answer 3

One of my students liked – Russian Stage One: Live From Russia! Volume 1

Here is the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuX_YDeQ2Gg&t=315s

Also, here is the second part / volume 2:

Russian Stage One: Live from Russia! Volume 2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB6ss7vWM2g

I know that there is a book for these videos. You can check it out on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=live+from+russia+volume+1&crid=2RAZIJ1YCDYBI&sprefix=Live+from+Russia%2Caps%2C154&ref=nb_sb_ss_ac-o-p_1_16

We did not use the book though; he was watching it on his own and then we were discussing the videos and vocabulary as a supplemental material.

Answer 4

Hello,

There are quite a lot of Russian podcasts for Russian learners to choose from. For instance, Speaking Russian https://player.fm/series/speaking-russian-28185 or Learn Russian https://player.fm/series/learn-russian-russianpod101com-1362171

The lessons offer something for everyone. They include culture and current issues in each episode to give the most informative podcasts.

Best,

Svetlana

Answer 5

Hello!

I can suggest two more podcasts:

1) Speaking Russian - short episodes in English discuss simple Russian words and useful phrases appropriate for different levels.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speaking-russian/id263176339?mt=2

2) Очень по-русски (Very Russian) - a fun podcast that goes beyond standard textbooks and discusses Russian slang and idioms. The podcast is in Russian. Full transcriptions and translations are provided.

https://podcasts.apple.com/ru/podcast/очень-по-русски-learn-russian-slang-with-podcast/id467374785?mt=2

Hope you'll enjoy the podcasts!

Best wishes,
