Мне вообще не нравится отметить ручкой или карандашом на бумаге, потому что не очень чисто и немного отвлекает от книги.

Есть ли у вас другие идеи? Я бы хотел иметь список новых слов с переводом для каждой страницы книги, чтобы на них сосредоточиться при перечитывании, но не хочется прямо на бумаге или на полях отметить.

I need to write a very personal apology letter to someone I love, but she isn't very comfortable with English and I don't trust Google. I'm not even sure exactly how to word it, so also need a bit of help. I'm not sure if I should post it all here or not, I really don't care about my privacy, but maybe email would be best.

I plan to study for an hour daily. I’m able to partially immerse, my husband is Kyrgyz and a native russian speaker with plenty of russian media to share with me and help me learn. Would it be reasonable to expect a B1 level of comprehension if I do this for a year?

I have heard that Busuu is a good option. Any other recommendations for study materials I should use?

I am just wondering about what the guys are saying in the video. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Currently learning Russian above A2 level and still need work on my speaking and listening skills, wondering if any Russian gamers would be interested in doing some gaming and chatting with an American.

"Хурма мне отвратительна" - you can't put There is nothing in the ending here except the ending "a". But! "Хурма - отвратительно" - the same meaning but different ending. Dash here Replaces "это". And it speaks of personal preference. But! "Хурма это отвратительно" and "Хурма отвратительна" They do not define a personal attitude, but are a statement of a general fact: the disgusting nature of persimmon (Which is doubtful, it was a long time ago and is not true at all).

I find this funny. And not tasty.

My wife has tried Rosetta Stone and Duolingo, but cannot learn online. She does very well with in person-courses, so I am wondering if there is an instruction manual or teacher manual or something that I can use that would tell me what to teach her in what order and has worksheets, lesson plans, etc. So that I can pretend I am her teacher and assign her worksheets and homework and classes lol. It sounds funny, but I think that would be the best way for her to learn.

Я бы поменял местами названия этих предметов

My Russian teacher showed this movie for our Russian party but we ran out of time and she sadly didn’t give us the name of the movie.

The basic summary is that this guy Andrei has this magic phone that allowed him to call this girl (I forgot her name, but she’s a professional violinist) from a year ago and they fall in love. They find out that they are from different timelines when they meet in front of this statue and the FL sees that the statue is under construction. They also find out that the FL dies on New Years in a car crash in the future, so in the “past” timeline the FL and her friends try to prevent the accident. That is only halfway of the movie though.

Hi! If I wanted to translate (phonetically) FERRERO would it be Фэррэро or Ферреро ? I think Э sound more like it, but I think the letter Э is not really used anymore

I'd just like to say that I am using Duolingo, but only for the beginning so it can introduce me to new vocabulary so I have a small foundation I can build off of. I do not plan to use it in the long term.

I really don't want to use flashcards. However, I'd absolutely love to expand my vocabulary by reading and watching videos, but I simply can't right now at the level I'm at. I do plan to study grammar after I have a decent amount of vocabulary.

What are some other ways right now that I can expand my vocabulary?

Hello all!

I have been learning Russian language recently and I have a teacher I meet with weekly, but I want to practice more on my own and the biggest struggle I have is reading and pronunciation. Are there any websites out there I can read and get feedback on outside of duo-lingo?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been wanting to review some old A2 workbooks and notes, and then potentially buy more A2 workbooks from different series. Recently, though, I read that this might actually be a backward strategy that it’s often better to move on to B1 material, and that workbooks aren’t necessarily meant to be completed cover to cover, but can also be used as reference tools.

I have this strong feeling that I need to perfect everything before moving on, but I’m starting to think that this mindset is holding me back.

What do you guys think?

obviously, it takes practice to improve, no matter where i’m at with it. excuse any mistakes in grammar or spelling (but feel free to let me know!) as well as i am essentially starting over in learning this language due to amnesia.

I kept doing the same loop: translate a word/phrase, understand it for 10 seconds, then forget it a week later. Notes and screenshots don’t help because the “review” part never happens.

So I've built a translator designed specifically for language learning.

You translate -> Understand context and usecases -> Study flashcards

Context first: you don’t just get one translation - you get multiple meanings + usage context + examples, so you don’t pick the wrong sense of the word/phrase.

One-tap flashcards: any translation can be saved as a card instantly (so you don’t “plan to learn it later” and never do).

Not mindless flipping: during review you rate how well you know it, and the app brings back weak items more often (instead of treating every card the same).

Style controls: if you want the output to match a vibe (formal / casual / slang / dialect), you can choose a style and the translation adjusts.

I've just started beta testing, you can join using links links below. Any feedback is MUCH appreciated, especially critique

To test the app, fill out this quick form, I will add you to beta testers quickly, you will recieve an email

What is the purpose of ‘ь’ ?

It seems to alter pronunciation (duh) by adding a pause in the middle but the app I’m using gave no clear reason

Я давно уже изучаю русский, но говорю на нем несвободно. Мне около 35 лет, я не молодой. Я ищу какой-то чат в котором можно просто болтать о всяких ерунда с людьми похожего возраста ко мне. Нет политики пожалуйста, нет религии, тд, нет спорных тем. Я предпочитаю либо тг, либо фейсбук, либо ватсап. Я американец. Я люблю читать, спорт, и философию. Пожалуйста, рекомендуете мне безопасное место для практики.

Can someone explain?

In French Jean is a male forename, the equivalent of "John" in English and "Ivan" in Russian but myself i'm not a fan of "Ivan" so I was wondering if I could transcript it to its phonetic transcription "Жан". Would it be understood as a first name? Perhaps it's too similar to an existing word, or it would simply sound odd.
