What is the best & fastest way to learn Russian?

I am looking to learn Russian quite quickly, but I would prefer to learn it correctly than learn it badly. I am would like a book/online course/program that I can easily pick up and put down for about 10 minutes to 45 minutes a day.
I would also like to stay at home, so no actual in-person courses.

How do you write "Always in my heart" in russian?

how do i write my name in russian?

my name is rebecca :)
and what is my russian name as well?

If there is not, is there an elementary school that would have a similar culture?

Also, I know there are language schools in LA, but would they be very useful if you were a child, but could already speak Russian?

(NOTE: I am asking this on behalf of my cousin who has lived in Russia for four years. She has a six year old son who was not born in Russia but can speak fluent Russian. My cousin cannot speak Russian as good, and does not want her son to forget the language. They may be moving to LA, but hope to move back to Moscow in a few years, and she doesn't want him to forget the language or culture.)

I just started studying Russian a couple months ago. I am moving along at a good clip and am wondering about the case system. I more-or-less understand the point of the cases and the role they play, but I'm wondering if I need to learn that right away, or if I should just focus on memorizing conversational situations for now. I am not trying to avoid learning the cases, I just want to know if they will confuse me if I learn them too early, while I am still trying to get a feel for the language.

i have to know it for a school project. but tell me in english alphabet.

There is a song in Russian called "Our young funny voices." I would really appreciate it if you could tell me who wrote the song.

Me and a few friends have recently started learning russian. One friend has sent a text to the rest of us and he's blatantly used popular phrases, so I'd like to text some back with a translation of the phrase in the title as a joke.

Thanks for the help!

Oh, also it'll have to be in english letters, God help my phone's predictive text if I dare venture into the Russian letters with it!

like download it on the computer

Should I learn Russian or Czech?

I'm in college and speak English and German. I want to throw a third language into the mix, either Russian or Czech. I have a great interest in studying in Prague, so Czech is the obvious answer on the surface. But I want my line of work to include traveling and speaking other languages, so in this case, Russian would be more useful. However, since I already know German, and German is spoken/dealt with in the Czech Republic, would learning Czech in addition to knowing English and German make me more marketable?

Thanks to anyone who tries to help.

last name my grilfriend i need tow spelling in alphabet russian

I just woke from a dream where I was speaking Russian...

It started in San Diego. I was climbing down the side of a building to escape some people, then ran down the street. At some point I found myself walking snow streets in a Russian uniform. Someone on the phone and I were speaking Russian (i understood everything I and they said clearly, even when I woke)... It was a conversation about Soviet Russia and my mission.

Next thing I know.. I'm spotted by these Mexican soldiers in a car.. they pull their riffles on me, but I escape into the shadows.. Then take cover in a metal shed.. It seemed more like a make-shift break room for industrial workers.. There was coffee, a tv, some large machine blades and there were piles of scrap metal outside across from the other entrance.

I had a backpack with me.. Street clothes were in it so I changed quickly, to not be recognized and then i checked my gps to discover I'm now in Mexico.. I also noticed there was 4 hours left on my mission..

I ended up calling my bf (he's an actual marine) to come get me...

there were two specific names of GREAT importance in my dream.. one was russian and one was spanish... I can't quite recall them now.

I feel I should mention that I wasn't watching, thinking or listening to anything about Russia or Mexico before bed... the only thing that might have influenced my dream about was "Surviving the Cut" an episode on EOD training.. that was 2 hours before i went to bed though, and i watched comedy shows after it...

And... I don't speak Russian. I did try to learn it a while back but got distracted, I know one of the words I said in my dream which was hello... in russian. As for spanish, I can speak a little of it, and understand a little of it.. But the spanish in my dream wasn't on my level of speaking.. I only know basics..

hi, im going to a med school in moscow, and it's going to be in english but since im going to live there as well, do i really need to speak fluent russian language or just the basic?

Can someone tell me of some more russian music?

Like artists. I just want more music so i dont forget my russian since i stil didint learn to read and write in russian. Can someone tel me some russian artists?

For reasons I won't bore you with, I want to learn to speak & write Russian. Or whatever could be considered the most mainstream, and likely-to-endure-as-mainstream, language easily understood and spoken by a good majority of people in the former USSR nation states.

Not looking to take college classes right now or hire expensive tutor.

Of course I can google things.....and I get a zillion results for learning language, but what is the BEST way if anyone has some real experience - in a low cost way to begin learning Russian? Good websites / material / books from library - something I can handle and won't get too overwhelmed doing a little each day?

currently, I am fluent in english and spanish.

Should I, a non-Slavic person, learn Russian?

I'm Asian-American with a Chinese look. I've heard lately about increasing racism in Russia against those of non-white background, mainly non-Slavs. I would really like to learn Russian and perhaps visit Russia one day, but the talks of attacks make me nervous. Suggestions?
