Hi, i am wanting to learn russian an was wondering if any of you know some good websites or software (preferably free!) that will provide lessons from beginner to advanced. i would get one of those rosetta stone programs but they are really expensive. help is much appreciated cheers
also if it includes stuff like audio clips thats a bonus!

My husband immigrated to the US 12 years ago from Russia. He is looking into the Navy, specifically CTI. His step-father (who is a retired Navy recruiter) has implied that he would be able to go for Russian, but didn't mention any of the schooling information that I've found on line. What are his chances of getting to speak Russian?

ASVAB scores are well above what is needed for this rating.

I'm trying to learn Russian, and it wasn't specified in the books I'm using. One book didn't even include anything about handwritten Russian!

If there are any websites or anything that can help with this, they would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, Im lookin for a Russian song that talks about losing someone you love...do you know any??

I want to learn languages so that I can join the CIA when I am older. I would rather not pay. I need to know idioms and figures of speech also.

I got a programm that is written in russian, my computer with Swedish Windows Xp cant read these letters, instead its shows only ????.

Is there a reason for such a double standard?

I don't want the text posted, but if you can, send me an email to: georgehotzinthis@yahoo.com please?
Thanks.

The hotel is in america. The owners are not american, nor are they russian. However, 50% feels it necessary to speak the russian whenever wherever, frankly, it stinks of discortesy and an unwillingness to absorb a trace of american english. How can I broach this subject to the superiors and get it halted or slowed?

In the word Het (no) it is pronounced "nyet"
however in this word очень, it is pronounced ochen?
WAIT or am I just being weird and making up ochen and it's actually ochyen.
Also, I still don't quite understand the ъ and ь things. I know it's soft and hard sound, but what does that even mean?! Examples please!

besides podcasts?
idk those might work the best actually.

I LOVE Russian folk music. I also play piano. I would love to be able to play some traditional Russian pieces on the piano, but it's near impossible to find piano arrangements for Russian folk music. I'm talking about sheet music with two hands, not just a melody line. I would really appreciate anyone who could direct me to some online or a sheet music book on an online store somewhere. Thanks!

I'm majoring in International Studies and I have to pick a language to study. French would be better if I went into diplomacy but learning Russian seems so interesting. Any words of wisdom?

Who can tell me how I can say "have a nice flight" in russian language. Please use both Kyrril alphabet for original phrase and latin or IPA for pronunciation.
I know something like "dobroma puti". What does this exactly mean. It is spelled as it is.

Oops! It looks like you have 2 misspelling(s).

I already have Rosetta Stone Russian levels 1, 2, and 3. But I need to start out with the basics like the Alphabet and basic words, Rosetta Stone is great but it just starts out too fast.

I need to speak with a Russian accent for a play I'm doing but I'm having issues with it. I know the basics but I really want to be able to hear it. Are there any movies or shows with people speaking with a Russian accent?

did any of you know who write that story its just cartoon or did one of the great Russian writters write thank you ?
yes Iam libyan born and raised and living in Libya
no we do not we are poor
no we do not

I need to learn how to say certain words in russian,but i can't seem to find a translator that allows you to hear the translation aswell, where should i go ?

I've already got the alphabet down and all of the sounds, but are there any websites for grammar or vocabulary? And if you speak Russian as a second language, tell me how hard it was. I think it's a lot like English, but maybe that's just me. Can you give me any free websites that you learned from. And if you've used Rosetta Stone, tell me how hard that was and about how long it took you. And yes, I use LiveMocha.

My girlfriend got a message from her Russian grind that has the word "Krasav4ik" in it. I know the 4 there I don't know if it was a mistake or some Russian Internet talk can anyone help me find the meaning?

I understand this person is possibly mad at me and i know it has cuss words in it, but i really need to know what it mean. can you help me out?
Privet. Kak pahzivayesh? Khorosh? Alyasta awalakega umenya udachi dovinish. Spasciba zevali yabalo' na kaleni cyka. Sosi moi hoi suka pizdet govno.
update
I spoke to this person and someone else added the other words, it was someone else who was rude.

I'm considering Russian to be a 2nd language. Also tell me how interesting the culture is and how usefull the language is.

Where do I select languges my box can accept? I'm talking about a Yahoo mail box. Thank you.

Which do you think is the hardest/ easiest and the least/ most fun to learn?
I will be using Rosetta Stone

i want to go to Russia in a years time, what is the chance learning it on my own and will i be able to understand if they speak to me. Do I have to get a tutor?

Thank you.

I want to learn one. Either one will do, but I just want to know the best way to learn if you live in the U.S.A and surrounded by people who only speak English?
Note: D: I don't have enough money for a Rosetta Stone, so that doesn't count. TT.TT
