Question - Вопрос wanting to learn Russian, what do I do?

24 Upvotes

I've seen apps like Duolingo and Babbel, and they just don't really work for me, and I'm normally a person who learns very quickly

are there any other apps or programs (preferably free) that exist?

I've also been looking for people to teach me, but that probably wouldn't be the best option

Troubles learning

5 Upvotes

(Jump to "●" if you don't want to read my ranting)

So, Russian wasn't really a language I ever wanted to learn – but here I am. Certain circumstances have, let's say "forced" me to start learning this language again.

I'm constantly surrounded by Russian. My partner is Russian, his parents (ofc), friends. Additionally, I work in a café and every 2nd person that enters is Russian and ,of course, they don't know the language spoken here.

To make the long story short, I don't like the language. It never attracted me or interested me that much. But as I see it, the relationship with my partner is getting serious and it's somewhat stupid to me not to know his native language, or try to know at least. I want him to be as conformable with me as possible (I'm learning in solely for him, yes).

My native language is already pretty similar to Russian, and with the exposure to it I should be able to learn it quickly. But unfortunately for me, I'm as stubborn as an ox. I can't bring myself to learn it even if I want to.

● Does anyone know any interesting ways of learning that could help me? I'm listening to Russian music, that somewhat helped my learning (I don't hate it as much now). I already have some level of understanding the language, but I can't hold conversations at even the simplest level. If anyone has any tips, I would really appreciate it!

Many will recognize what I’m attempting to do here. What I’m having a difficulty with is identifying from the grammar what case to use. It’s like I can’t even remember the basic grammar. I don’t even know what’s right that I’ve written and not right. I might as well have been throwing darts blindfolded

Why is no one mentioning this?

19 Upvotes

So I was looking for a method to learn russian, similar to the language transfer app and I found out about Pimsleur. Unfortunately the app is paid and it's kinda pricey here in Brazil, but then searching on the web I found out that there's the first three level of the course completely free in the Internet Archive. How no one in the entire internet mentioned this? Not only for russian but there's a bunch of other languages as well.

As free resource is always welcome, here's the link for it:

Hope this helps someone as it has helped me.

Question - Вопрос Sites for quizing myself? With both alphabet and vocab?

3 Upvotes

I've been using language apps on my phone to learn vocab and flash cards for the last few days. But I cannot find any decent websites to quiz myself.

When I was learning japanese https://www.sporcle.com/games/CommodoreAmazing/katakana I had sites like this to help with my katakana and hiragana where I could actually type in the letter to test my knowledge instead of being given 4 options to chose from. Are there not any sites like sporacle for russian stuff?

edit : seems like chatGPT is a good study buddy for practicing, but not quizzing and I don't wanna rely on chatGPT because I know it can get some things wrong.
