How to Learn Russian 🇷🇺

Learn RCRussian

1. Get used to listening to Russian.

🔻So, while you do have to learn the Cyrillic alphabet to get started learning Russian, you'll pretty quickly pick up which letter each sound corresponds with.

2. Watch Russian TV with subtitles.

3. Write down new Russian vocabulary every day.

🔻This is particularly handy while you're watching movies and TV shows because you're far more likely to come across colloquial Russian sayings that you probably won't encounter in a textbook.

4. Learn the Russian Alphabet.

🔻There are 33 Cyrillic letters, but nearly a fifth of them are the same as their Latin counterparts, so you won't be totally in the dark.

5. Invest in Russian Books for Beginners.

🔻Of course, no one expects you to read untranslated Dostoevsky novels, but it's well worth picking up a Russian-English dictionary, some workbooks, and even a couple of easy children's books (pictures encouraged!) to get you started.

6. Speak Russian out loud when you're alone

🔻Build up confidence when there's no one around to impress, and before long you'll be able to hold a conversation with a native Russian speaker.

7. Make Friends with Russian Speakers.😁🤝😊

8. Don't obsess over Russian Grammar.

🔻But the upside is that you don't need to stress out about any of that right now. You can learn basic Russian words and phrases and make yourself understood before you ever need to pick up a grammar textbook.

9. Take a vacation to Russia.

🔻Travelling to a Russian-speaking country is a great way to learn Russian, and conversing with native speakers will help you level up in fluency.
