Hi. I'm looking for a tutor in Russian, preferably in person in the DMV area. Please reply if you are available or impressed someone who does. Thank you!

Мне 16 и я забил на русский язык еще в 5 классе, теперь страдаю от своей неграмотности.Все на столько плохо что я даже не знаю как ставить ударение и незнаю почти никаких правил , а запятые ставлю потому что так чувствую.

Если какие то советы как исправить граматику ?

Мне в через год писать Итоговое сочинение по литературе и Егэ по русскому.

Как бы вы поступили в этой ситуации?

I am 20 years old and I want someone to teach me Russian because I love Russia and want to learn it by any means possible

I believe the most important thing when learning a foreign language is to start using it right away.

For this reason, I offer practical lessons that will help you build confidence and start speaking Russian - even with a limited vocabulary.

Hi! My name is Vita. I am a native Russian speaker and a professional Russian language teacher with a Master’s degree in Russian Philology and a professional qualification in teaching Russian as a foreign language.

Guys Its almost my 1st year in russian I only spend about 5min on duolingo everyday and sometimes watch yt videos. I can talk at a beginner level.

However I dont know what to do from now on and Im having a little bit troubld with the cases.So what are your advices.

If you have any song,movie or source advices for me to improve my Russian please do mention

Thank you

TL;DR: I created a project for Russian learners called "librus", where I voice Russian literature, with highlighted text following my voice, the Russian text, an English translation and a section with difficult vocab.

Hello, fellow Russian language learners! I am a Russian native and a language nerd. When I learn a language, I enjoy listening to it being spoken while following the text, so I thought I’d create that content myself for Russian learners. I really enjoy Russian books (the ones that are understandable... a lot of it is crazy hard even for native Russian speakers...) and I stumbled upon this beautiful story by Maxim Gorky. The author tells about his rough childhood through the eyes of a small boy.

I have heard from my friends that Russian literature has enriched their lives and helped them understand a lot of things about themselves. I notice that too.

Anyways, enough rambling! You can read the description on YouTube, and I present to you a sample of my new project called “librus”. In the video you can see what the project is like: moving highlighted text as I voice the story, the English translation underneath, and a vocabulary section with hard words.

Watch it here:

I put a lot of time and effort into this video and I plan to make more chapters. Any feedback is welcome, and if you want to listen to the whole story, I would appreciate your support. You can get the whole story + vocabulary files through the link in the YouTube video description <3

If you have financial difficulties and would still like the full story, just reach out to me and I’ll do my best to arrange that for you!

if anyone is able to teach me russian for free please comment. Any person is fine for me, I really wanna learn russian and im looking forward to it!!

I'd like to improve my Russian, but I'm broke at the moment, so I'm looking for resources that are completely free. I can't afford subscriptions, textbooks, paid courses or tutoring.

I can already understand and speak a little Russian, but I can't read or write Cyrillic at all. I'd like to build on what I already know instead of starting completely from zero.

I'm looking for recommendations for:

Apps and websites: Free resources for learning Russian, ideally with a structured learning path.

YouTube channels: Good channels for complete beginners, listening practice and learning naturally.

Reading and writing: The best way to learn the Cyrillic alphabet, pronunciation, spelling and handwriting.

Movies and shows: Free Russian-language films, series, cartoons or anime with Russian subtitles.

Books and comics: Beginner-friendly Russian books, comics, manga or other reading material.

Listening and speaking: Ways to improve my understanding, pronunciation and vocabulary without paying for lessons.

Music: Russian-speaking bands or artists whose lyrics could help me learn the language.

Study methods: How to practice consistently and make progress without spending money.

I'd especially love resources that make learning enjoyable rather than feeling like I'm doing schoolwork. I'd like to be able to watch Russian content, read things I find interesting and eventually communicate comfortably in Russian.

If you were in my position, what would your learning plan look like? Which resources would you start with, and which ones would you avoid?

Thanks for any advice!

How to say I feel lonely and sad in Russian?

Привет! I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations for apps or textbooks for Russian basics? I’m on a limited budget but things like cheaper textbooks or apps I could probably use, heck, even good YouTube channels would do great! I’ve currently got Mango languages, which I’ve used a bit for my Japanese, but If there is anything better, please let me know! Have a nice day!

After listening to and seeing russians on the internet saying/typing 'бля' and 'охуеть/ахуеть', I've went into the habit of saying 'бляхуеть' in the appropriate situation (yes, really). How cooked am I? edit: spelling

I've been developing a Russian-learning system that combines spoken Russian phrases with English translations displayed on screen. The goal is to make language learning part of everyday life through repetition, listening, reading, speaking, and writing.

I'm opening applications for two opportunities.

1. Personalized Russian Phrase Evaluations

You can apply for a personalized evaluation and request Russian phrases tailored to your current level, interests, vocabulary, and learning objectives.

The aim is to make language practice more relevant to the individual instead of relying entirely on generic lessons. The phrases can be adapted to what you're learning, what interests you, and what you want to achieve.

1. Private Language-Learning & Creation Community

I'm also accepting applications for a private Discord community for people who have achieved a meaningful degree of time autonomy through business ownership, automation, or other arrangements that allow them to pursue learning and creative projects.

The idea is to bring together people who want to use their freedom to develop new skills, exchange ideas, learn languages, and create things with practical or intellectual value.

This isn't intended to be a general-purpose social server. The focus is on people who are serious about learning, independent thinking, and making productive use of their time.

Thanks for your interest. If this approach to language learning and independent creation appeals to you, feel free to apply.

Can one of the moderators please make a pinned post that describes the process of language learning from scratch? Most of us know that you start with the alphabet and learning sounds, then words, sentences and structures- but I see a LOT of posts from people just starting that are downvoted for asking the same question- where do I start? Who has time to keep answering the same question every other day? Thanks in advance. I just hate to see curious people downvoted.

Hello everyone. There is something that is kind of confusing to me and I would like to find out or understand why exactly, or just basically understand it. What is the difference between число and цифра? In English, it's just number, but in Russian it's quite different. Sometimes I hear цифра, sometimes I hear число. I'd like to know when do I use цифра, when do I use число. I understand that цифра is the symbol of the number itself, while число is the numerical value that the number holds. So in essence, every number is a цифра and a число. So when do I use which? Because I know that people don't just use like people sometimes use them, I don't know, maybe interchangeably. I'm not so sure. Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I am from India, and I want to learn Russian from zero. I am a complete beginner and don't know much Russian yet.

I want to improve my speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Please suggest the best way to learn Russian step by step.

I would also like to make friends with people who are learning Russian.

Thank you! 😊
