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:

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.

Hi, everyone.

I have been also learning for some time now...

could anyone recomemmend a site that actually CONJUGATES verbs in all possible variations?

Thank you.

This one requires free registration, but it has sound files of many conjugated forms.

Hi,

Thanks for the responses everyone. It looks like there is a good selection of stuff out there.

This website has a great overview:

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

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 ! 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 )

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

I'm retaking Russian in March and continuing till I become fluent (I only stopped because of Anime --> MUST LEARN JAPANESE )
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 )............ if it's alright

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

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 ?

I MUST post this !

GCSE Russian Vocabulary Book :

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


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) ^^
