Hi I am learning Russian using duolingo and i dont understand when "o" is pronounced ah and when it is pronounced oh. I also cant tell which one is being said; for exmple, there was a listening exercise in which the options were мал and мол but i couldnt tell if the answer was мал or if it was мол with the o pronounced as a. The answer was мал.

I want to learn Russian and I’m a beginner and know nothing about the language. Where and how do I start? Should I start by learning the alphabet? I think duolingo is useless. Any guidance and advice is much much appreciated

Hello! My name is Irina. I'm Russian. With me, you will learn to speak, write, and read in Russian - without stress, in a relaxed and trusting atmosphere. Your success is my job.

In 2003, I completed my studies at Tver State University with a Master's degree in Teaching Russian Language. Since 2009, I've been working as a tutor, helping people who speak English to learn the Russian language.

As a certified teacher, I have the linguistic knowledge needed to explain the unique features of the Russian language, such as its system of cases, verbs of motion, differences between animate and inanimate objects, variations in verb tenses, and more. I ensure better understanding by providing relevant comparisons to English.

I offer: Conversational Russian; Russian for beginners; Intensive Russian; General Russian.

*Conversational Russian. Well, being a native Russian speaker, we can chat about anything :D. I guarantee you: expanding your vocabulary and improving your grammar; learning idiomatic phrases related to different topics; picking up slang (if relevant to the topic).

*Russian for beginners. Beginners are my favorite kind of learners: they're new to the language and don't know about cases yet. I welcome all newcomers and enjoy working with those who are starting from scratch; we'll get along just fine.

*Intensive Russian. Do you have limited time, but you need to learn a language "yesterday"? No problem! We will study 5 times a week, 2-3 hours a day, and by the next day, you'll need to learn a ton of material. Sounds tempting? Come on in! :)

*General Russian. I'll guide you through all the possible structures of the Russian language. It's a lengthy journey if you're starting from scratch, but it will be a calm, steady, and productive process.

First, we'll figure out your needs and level. From there on, we'll move at your pace, according to your preferences, and aligned with your interests.

However, the most challenging part for anyone learning any language is to start speaking and understanding real-life conversation. With me, you'll have a safe space to speak, make mistakes, and improve – a place where you can grow confidently.

Feel free to visit my site (check linked site in my profile) and check reviews and prices! First meeting is always free :)

Hey guys, so I need your help to check and give feedback on anything. My spelling grammer and also how I can make it better. Basically I'm trying to make a russian version of the book Lingua Latina.

Hello everyone, I started to learn Russian 3 months ago, and I have a question, does all verbs conjugation is the same as (работать) ? Like Я работаю, ты работаешь, он работает

This is my first time learn diffrent alphabet what would you recomment any tips and tricks for russian alphabet ? Or book video ?

Здравствуйте всем!

I know that whenever there's handwriting on here it's by a learner like me instead of a native, sorry; I do wish I could see a native write more, so I could see exactly how to make some letter connections etc.

Anyhow, I like to learn through songs, and was writing the lyrics of one I'd learnt recently out by heart in VR to consolidate memorising it, and thought it'd be an interesting exercise not only re the writing itself (which comes out looking a bit nicer in vr), but also re whether all the letter directions/connections are being written properly.

Perhaps a native speaker could do a similar video to show how they write/connect some letters eg capital letters, о or б?

Also, does anyone recognise which song it is? I only recorded writing the end of the last verse, here, but I zoom out briefly at the end 😉

I've been learning Russian on Duolingo for almost a year now but I still haven't figured out how to pronounce these letters correctly. Any help?

Ive been studying in russia for almost a year now and i still havent been able to speak russian languange properly. It suck that my university doesnt provide any full cousre russian languange class. I really need to find someone who can speak russian and understand english well. If anybody are interested in becoming my buddy, please let me know.

As the title suggests when do I use какой-то какая-то какое-то какие-то?

ChatGPT gave me some examples like:

• Он оставил какие-то книги у меня. (He left some books at my place.)
• Он проявил какие-то странные черты характера. (He showed some strange character traits.)

When I put in Google Translate (English > Russian) I get the following in ru:

• Он оставил у меня несколько книг.
• Он проявил некоторые странные черты характера.

It basically changed какие-то to несколько & некоторые.

​

So, how is it correct to use it?

I was wondering where I can get exactly this one from? "Марина Аникина: Лестница. Учебник-книга по русскому языку."

I've checked so many websites, but can't preview e-book or even download it. Even though I tried buying it, it doesn't let me to purchase, says "out of stock".

Need help with this one.

Hi, I'm only just starting with learning Russian, and i would like to know if there are free and useful sources on learning it via comprehensible input (both listening and reading)? I find that this is the best way for me to learn languages, so pls, if anyone knows any sources, please reply.

Iv been practicing my cursive, just need to work on capitals, some letters, and some connections. Also under the red, is it 1 or 2?

I want to know how to say “heard” in Russian but I’m coming here in case it’s situational. In restaurants if you are responding to someone in a way that says “got it, I heard what you said and I will take that Information into account” you just say “HEARD!” And I say it a lot daily. So is it just “слышал” or is there another way to say it for only restaurants?

Hi there, just a (hopefully) straightforward question: for a writing project about the philosopher Peter Kropotkin, I’m wondering what the meaning of his last name is, if in fact there is one. I can’t seem to find any answers on a cursory Google search. Any insight is much appreciated!

Hello i was wondering if someone could help me with this phrase. Is it the correct translation?

не важно что = no matter what

In a sense of ,,no matter what happens, i will make it‘‘

Thanks in advance :)

Hello! I'd like to introduce you a YouTube channel, where you can find materials both for beginners and advanced students:

• Alphabet and Pronunciation (short but detailed videos with examples);
• Grammar (some basic things, all models of Russian verb conjugation are present);
• Also grammar, but mixed with vocabulary;
• Russian verb prefixes (for now just about 5 prefixes, but it's to be continued);
• Useful Words and Expressions (words about certain topics + examples of their use + translation into English + both English and Russian sentences are colorized to make the sentence structure clearer).

Best regards,

Yevgeni Yeliseyev

Do you know any resources to learn Russian?

I speak German, and English like normal. I can convey what I mean most of the time in Spanish. Also I can read Cyrillic.
