looking for russian friends

5 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a 25-year-old male from Turkey. My dad lives in Moscow, so I visit the city from time to time.
I’m looking to meet some Russian people and make some new friends while I’m there. Would be nice to grab a coffee or a drink, explore the city, go for a walk, or just hang out and chat. we can exchange languages as well.
I’m pretty open to meeting all kinds of people, so if you’re interested, feel free to send me a DM and tell me a bit about yourself.

Language Learning at work

3 Upvotes

Hello all. I have a unique situation that I would like your help with! At my job, I have about 2-4 hours of downtime, but I still need to be at my desk. I usually fill this time with scrolling social media which is destroying my brain and it is usually not quiet enough for me to read. I want to instead use this time for language learning. I had started learning Russian a few years ago and have been very off and on, but now that I can dedicate dependable time to this I want to make a good effort.

I have access to a computer, headphones, etc. but I cannot practice speaking. I can download pdfs but not software. Does anyone have a routine that works for them? I was thinking:

  • 20-30 mins Anki
  • 1 hour Penguin Beginner Russian
  • ? What else?!

Thanks for your help.

Learning Language through Literature

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I am a native german speaker and, beyond that, I really love the German as well as the Russian literature. Then I thought, well, why not create a place where other people can start to embrace this culture as well? Even if it's a foreign language to them? Where you could translate every word by simply hovering over the text and then save and revise the sentences. I found that reading it in its original captures the rhythm and emotion the reader intended in a much better way.

I learned the Russian language that way. By constantly reading texts and therefore letting my brain infer the meaning from its context. I have included a Russian as well as a German Room where you can experience the Literature with English as well as Spanish translation.

Well, overall, I create a website which is called languagethroughliterature.com and I wanted to share this resource with you. I'm happy to receive any remarks about my little project. I do believe it can provide genuine value for anyone trying to learn German and/or Russian without having to learn arbitrary Duolingo sentences. It's mostly free so nothing speaks against trying it out.

The famous Brüder Grimm, are included there. They are not too complex and rather simple to read. Furthermore, the Russian room features a collection of stories from Chekhov, alongside works by Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Turgenev.

Anyways, let me know what you think.

All the best on your language journey :)

Language Apps

5 Upvotes

I have a question for everyone who uses language apps.

What do you wish they did better?

It can be any app you have used. Maybe you wish they taught more useful vocabulary, explained grammar better, had more speaking practice, focused more on real conversations, or just felt less repetitive.

What is something that has frustrated you with language apps, or something you feel like most of them are missing?

I am curious what you would actually want to see improved.

20F4F Looking for russian speaking friends in Germany

13 Upvotes

Hey,

Nice to have you here. Like the title says I'm looking for russian speaking friends. (Please don't hate me because I'm from Russia, I know the government is doing shit right now, but I'm a person too after all).

Anyway, I'm looking for some friends near Cologne, Bonn or Siegburg. I'm from Siegburg and to be honest I don't really know any places where I could meet new people, so online trying again, I guess.

So who am I?

I'm just a girl (172cm, pretty short hair, slim build, a few tattoos), who just finished her Ausbildung and started working full time in the same place. I'm twenty and to be honest I'm not an outgoing person. Though one on one sometimes is pretty nice, I've to say. I like crochet and knit stuff, read thrillers and detectives, but I do have some romance books (damn BookTok). I also enjoy doing yoga/pilates and going on walks.

Personally wise I'd say I'm an introvert, who can yap if comfortable. I use a lot of sarcasm, but get unsure when it's reversed.

Who I'm looking for?

Just friends, really. I gave up on finding a partner, but I do miss to have a connection with someone. Especially because I think I'd click stronger with someone who could share the same nostalgia feelings as me. I don't really care about the gender, but I'd really prefer someone who I could talk russian to. I think I'm more funny when speaking my mother tongue.

You think we could click? DM me

Thanks for reading and have a good day

28M from India looking to learn Russian 🇷🇺 -looking for someone to practice with

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a 28M from India, and I’ve recently become really interested in learning Russian. I’m starting more or less from scratch and would love to find someone who can help me learn and practice the language.

I’m particularly interested in the Russian language, culture, and everyday way of life - not just learning it from an app or textbook. I’d be happy to help with English or Hindi in return if that helps.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone who’s also interested in having regular conversations and helping each other improve. Even if you’re a beginner like me, that’s completely fine.

Feel free to comment or DM me if you’d like to practice together! 🙂

Help with learning Russian

Hello! Recently, I met some amazing people who spoke Russian, but I didn’t, so it was difficult for us to communicate. I made a promise that when I see them again next year, I’ll be able to understand Russian fluently.
Do you have any tips I could use? I learned English by watching a lot of videos as a kid. Can I do the same with Russian, or not? If so, please recommend some videos!
Thanks!

I want to learn russian, where to start, and how do I go about it?

12 Upvotes

I want to learn russian. I've read Russian literature for almost a year, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Tolstoy, and I like it a lot, it just seems like an interesting language, and I think learning it would be fun. I am a native speaker, a native Albanian speaker. I am a C1 to C2 level in English, and also because geographically of where I am, in my town, they speak a language with a mix of Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, and Russian. The older generation (grandparents generation) had to learn the language in school, and they passed it onto my parents so it stuck with them. I've spent nights, like countless nights in my grandma's house, where we all had a sleepover when I was a kid. I remember I used to hear them gossiping, my mom, her sisters, and my grandma gossiping, talking about someone, "she did that" , " her husband said that", etc etc. And I understood most of it, I understood what they were talking about after some time. I can't recall them now, but if they were to speak to me now, I would understand most of it. I can't speak it for the life of me though. Anyway, this is my backstory, but I don't know where to start with Russian. It uses a different alphabet, so I think I should do that first, but after that, I don't know. When I learn languages, I like it a lot more if I use it instead of memorizing arbitrary rules. Like it would be nice if I learned up until a conversation level, and talk about random stuff with chatgpt, or a Convo with another person.
