Anyone learning Russian? Learning resources? - xiows - 2011-12-17

Hello,

I'm familiar with this forum and the resources for Japanese learning (KO2001, smart fm core 6000 and various textbooks) as well as the whole AJATT/immersion principle.

I was wondering whether anyone was learning Russian and whether there were any similar resources, is there a Russian equivalent of the smart fm decks or sentence packs for example?

With this community having previous knowledge of those kind of resources I figured it was the best place to ask.

Thanks.

I've been learning Russian for a year. Unfortunately, recently I've lost most of my Russian stuff, including web bookmarks, but I can give you some pointers.

I recommend the free Princeton Russian course, it's really good:

I think, you should build your own Anki deck, that works best. I can upload some Stardict Ru-En and Ru-Ru dictionaries and a large word frequency list if you want.

Swac, free audio recording of 5000 words:

Swac plugin for Anki:

If you need some more or something specific, or have any problems, let me know!

Multilingual pop-up dictionary ABBYY Lingvo, definitely the best collection of Russian dictionaries.

Русский язык как иностранный

Wow! I didn't know about that! Thank you!

I 've already read this one:

Грамматика русского языка в иллюстрациях
http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3695613

It's grammar through pictures, highly recommended for beginners (and ARATTers).

By the way, the only English language textbook/grammar book worth reading in my experience is the above-mentioned Princeton course, all the others are either oversimplified or overcomplicated, don't have examples or audio, etc.

I ADORE THIS PODCAST !
http://russianpodcast.eu/podcasts.html

It's good for upper-intermediate learners and up. There's a pdf for every podcast Smile

Here, have the best Russian band ever. I'm sure it's good for immersion.

(if anything, knowing Мама Анархия is the best way to befriend a Russian)

And here's a link I found just today !

Zgarbas Big Grin ! I know the band ! A semi-Russian friend of mine gave me many albums for them but to be honest.... I never touched them :/ (the songs were named with numbers so I couldn't find what I wanted to listen to Big Grin)


Anyone learning Russian? Learning resources? - Zgarbas - 2013-01-22

You should! They're made of awesome Big Grin. Videli Noch is a local drinking anthem.

xD


I'm retaking Russian in March and continuing till I become fluent (I only stopped because of Anime --> MUST LEARN JAPANESE Big Grin )
So I'll definitely be looking for more music, and coming back to this thread (Get ready, I WILL ask for a lot of bookmarks Tongue )............ if it's alright Smile


Anyone learning Russian? Learning resources? - Stansfield123 - 2013-01-23

If I was learning Russian, I'd just read Dostoevsky all day. Smile


Anyone learning Russian? Learning resources? - psychopatate - 2013-01-23

That's definitely something I'd read much later, but if I were to choose between Harry Potter in Russian and Crime and Punishment, I wouldn't even think about it ! *Harry Potter of course*
I need something I can sentence mine, and classic literature doesn't work for that, don't you think ? Smile


Anyone learning Russian? Learning resources? - psychopatate - 2013-01-23

I MUST post this !

GCSE Russian Vocabulary Book :

I went through a French one and it was awesome ! Perfect with Anki Smile


And a 2000-word list, divided into (nouns-verbs-prepositions-adjectives....etc) :
http://www.learnrussianfree.com/vocabulary

I memorized this list before I knew Anki... :/

Anyway, if anyone stumbles upon this thread and has anything to share, please do (and thanks for those who already did) ^^
