I'm very interested in learning Russian but because I don't have a formal teacher I would know where to start. My school only offers French Spanish and Japanese taking French not my choice. Are there any beginner guides I can use so that I will know how long I should spend on a topic.

I'm thinking of learning Russian for fun, I know it's not going to be easy but I've been trying to roll my R's and I just can't do it. Can I still learn and will I still be understood even though I can't?

So, im contemplating on learning russian. Is there anything you can tell me about it that can persuade me. hahah

right now im very fluent in spanish, and im learning french.

whats so different about russian that makes it hard? Like iknow they have a different alphabet, but what else is hard?

i think an example of this is grammer, can anyone tell me what its like in english. Like how in spanish and french they say the adjectives after the words.... But how would stuff be in russian?????

The website, Deutsche Welle ("German World") is an excellent website for learning German, because they have, among other things, the ability to listen to slowly-spoken German lessons. It is great. Does anyone know of such a website for learning Russian? There are, of course, Russian radio stations, but they speak too quickly for me to understand, so I am looking for a place where I can hear it spoken more slowly.

Besides learning Russian, I heard I should learn French. French was used primarily during the eighteenth century so I was just wondering if it would be a good idea. Thanks!

I've noticed that my biggest problem with learning Russian has been my inability to remember vocabulary. I can remember (most of) the rules for which gender/case/tense gets what ending, but I spend far too much time looking up words in a dictionary.

Does anyone have any recommendations for effective ways to learn foreign language (particularly Russian) vocabulary? I'm well aware that there's no "shortcut" to learning a language, but maybe some of you have some useful suggestions!

Thanks a lot!

I am a graduate student in Daejeon, South Korea. I need to learn to read and speak Russian for some reason. Do you know any good russian language learning website? At this point, I know nothing about russian. I don't even know what"Hello" is in Russian.

I also need something that keeps me have interested in learning russian. Do you know any good Russian movies or pop-songs and any website that I can download them free?
Thanks.
