What it actually is
The Russian branch of Easy Languages: unscripted conversations filmed on the street, subtitled in both Russian and English so you can watch the same clip at very different levels. The 'Super Easy Russian' series slows everything down for near-beginners. Videos are free; membership adds transcripts and exercises. Publishing is slower than the bigger Easy channels — roughly a couple of videos a month.
