This will be the fourth time the challenge is running since it was first created by me in 2017! Each year I step it up and add something new. 🙂

You can see the record for previous years through our hashtag #rfasummer on Instagram and TikTok.

Who can participate?

Everyone! You can choose to learn Russian 🇷🇺 or any other language! You can sign up alone or with a friend! 

How long is it?

All summer! We start June 1 and we finish September 1, when winners are announced!

How does it work?

You will download a learning plan that you will need to fill out weekly and share with us on Instagram or TikTok with the 📌 #rfasummer. (rfa = russianforamericans). All of the learning, materials, 📚 etc. you will need to do on your own.

How do you win?

Follow the guidelines. You will need to record a weekly video of you speaking a foreign language and share it on social media. You can set your account to private or public, as long as you add me and other participants (who want to follow you) to it. Take screenshots of weekly progress based on the spreadsheet I provide.

🎉 What are the prizes?

Prizes will be awarded randomly! 🍾 Non-US residents will get a digital prize and US residents will have more options:

1. Free course admission
2. Digital books
3. Paper books
4. Souvenirs
5. Surprise boxes

How much does it cost?

There is a $5 admission fee that will go towards the gifts. It is not refundable. This fee is waived for my current students. 

Will there be other students?

Of course! You will be able to see what others are posting on social media. We will also have a group on Telegram. This time I want to also set up support groups and we will even have a prize for the best group!
