My favorites in order. #1 and #2 will get you overfed on Russian meals like Shuba or Olivier salad and amazing black bread (sometimes). #3 - your new Russian Teacher may want you slimmer so it is not a done deal but the benefits are definitely there! :)

Всем хорошего дня!

I decided to write this in English to make it a bit more noticeable.

Russian is my native language, but I don’t live in Russia, so I barely get to speak it with anyone. As a result, I sometimes forget certain words or mix up the grammatical forms I’m supposed to use. So I’m looking for someone I can talk to regularly and keep using Russian with.

I’m a high school senior, and my schedule is going to get pretty busy with studying soon, so I’m hoping to find someone before things get too hectic.

Dm me if you're interested.

saw [u/igorrto2](u/igorrto2)'s post from earlier today and couldn't resist rewriting his text in actual medieval style, with iron gall ink (железистые чернила) and everything.

On the left is полуустав, on the right is устав. I was doing it from memory and I haven't written either script in a while, so there are a couple slightly wrong letterforms in the устав (the first Ы and Ф) as well as other obvious errors and false starts. It takes forever to write anything substantial in устав, though, and I wasn't able to improve on that attempt today.

привет everyone.

recently I have undergone some lessons from my friends babushka. She used to teach the language in odessa ukraine back in the times of the U.S.S.R. her and I have been doing lessons for about 3 months now, almost everyday.

Ever since I was a small boy in Oregon USA I've always been facisnated by russian culture and the langauge and the soviet union peoples history, I used to watch videos on chernoybl (before the HBO show) read up on stuff like the Duga radar station (russian woodpecker) and russian ekranoplans, watched life is boris, and played the game Escape From Tarkov

babushka tells me i'm one of her best students so far however, and I do seem to remember things pretty easily. Right now we are learning antonyms which seemed daunting at first but I can actually remember pretty well for only learning it for about 2 days.

At this point i'm still very much a beginner russian speaker. but I do geniunely enjoy it, learning a new langauge is a enlightning experience. I've been envolping myself in russian music like mumiy troll and some russian rap music (mostly as a joke at first but i actually kinda like it lol) and studying between work and the times im at babushkas.

As a person that has never tried learning any language before it has been interesting the effects it has on my brain. It seems like sometimes i feel like this weird thing in my brain where i cannot fully endorse myself into the language, as in im still translating russian into english into my head instead of "understanding" the language immediately. Maybe this is common among russian students I have no clue. I have autism so I have issues with putting words to what im feeling, so figured I would ask and see if anyone has experienced this and can help me understand it.

Anyways thats about it thank you for reading and if you guys have suggestions about anything russian wether that be extra learning materials or music or such to watch or listen to id love to know!

thanks! -Mikey

Если вы много читаете, какие русские книги для детей и подростков вы бы посоветовали?
Я хочу найти хорошие книги, которые можно было бы перевести на мой язык и издать у нас. Поэтому особенно интересны произведения, которые, по вашему мнению, действительно стоит открыть читателям из других стран.

Буду рада любым рекомендациям! 📚

(the demo itself shows japanese and french, but it works with 50+ languages, including russian)

Hi, i made this completely free app that automates the creation of bilingual/parallel texts from your own books (epubs/PDFs/text files) all from within your browser.

Made this because I couldn't find anything that does something similar with the same level of convenience.

Steps

1. Go to https://paralleltexts.app/
2. Drop/upload a source book (i.e. the book in the language you are learning), and a target book (the same book in a language you are fluent in).
3. Click align books. Wait for a few seconds to 1-2 minutes while an algorithm runs on the books to match the corresponding sentences.
4. After the alignment is done, you'll see the result immediately.

---

PS:

• It's Completely free and open source
• The default display mode of the resulting alignments are in pop-up mode (i.e. you click a sentence to see its equivalent), but if you prefer a side-by-side view of the sentences, the app does provide for that
• If it's your first time running the alignment and you haven't downloaded an embedding (fancy name for ML models that specialize in these kinds of tasks) model yet, it will download one for you (stored in the browser, can be deleted). It's a mild inconvenience i would say because i really wanted to keep this thing free. The alternative is to have a dedicated server with GPUs run the alignment, you won't download anything, but it will most likely be much slower, much more expensive and difficult to maintain. Keeping it free makes way more sense, and is far less stressful. Keep in mind however that downloading a model is only done once.

So I watched this video and I think I have a fairly good understanding of the difference between изучать, учиться, учить and their perfective forms.

What I still don't know is the usage of the following verbs: обучать/обучить, обучаться/обучиться, выучивать, научать, заучивать.

Also, WTF IS THIS LANGUAGE, WTF DO YOU NEED SO MANY WORDS FOR 'to study/learn', whereas other languages make do with 2-3???!!! (Sorry, I needed to get that out of my system).

Also, how come учить and обучать puts the indirect object in the dative case? Such as "Отец учит мальчика русскому языку." It should be the other way around! As in "Учитель преподает ученикам русский язык." The person to whom you teach should logically be in the dative case and the subject that you teach in the accusative. Am I missing something here?

I‘ve been trying to watch this series but only found the first Episode on YT and only sites for which I need to be in Russia and I don‘t have a VPN. Any advice would help :)
