Looking for a language learning accountability partner

Hey everyone. I’m about to start learning Russian consistently every day and I’m looking for someone serious about accountability and progress.

I’ll be using Duolingo and some YouTube podcasts and tutorials to start, then possibly moving to better platforms/resources later on. Any advice on a good learning path is appreciated as well.

I’m not necessarily looking for a tutor, though conversation practice eventually would be nice. For now, I’m mainly looking for:

  • daily consistency
  • check-ins
  • progress tracking
  • motivation/accountability when either of us falls off track

Planning to study around 45–60 mins daily for now (work takes most of my time).

We could do things like:

  • sharing goals
  • reporting progress
  • streak accountability
  • occasional voice/text check-ins

My main goal is to build enough consistency to handle very basic everyday Russian conversations over the next 6–7 months. By “conversations” I mean simple exchanges like buying things, asking questions, and basic day-to-day communication (very simple, broken-level speech), not fluency. I know language learning is a long-term process, but that’s the initial target for now. Let me know if this sounds too ambitious.

Please reach out if you’re also beginning to learn Russian or just want consistent accountability. Thanks.

My main goal is to build enough consistency to comfortably understand and communicate in basic Russian over the next several months.

DM me if you’re also beginning to learn Russian or just want a consistent accountability setup. Thanks.
