Courses in Russian online

Hi, babes.

A couple of days ago I found the official site of Pushkin Institute and it’s awesome. It is translated into several languages, e.g. English, Chinese, German, Spanish and others.

There are Russian courses for students of any level.

There are also lots of courses in Russian, for example, a course on cooking the Russian way, modern Russian art, Old Church Slavonic course and many other topics. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are subtitles for these courses and the courses themselves are in Russian, so I’d recommend them to people with B1+.

And here you can take a test to assess your level of fluency.

There’s also a site for children here. It has very simple materials so it might be suitable for A1-A2 levels. Here are words by themes and here is a little video on verbs of motion and here - on types of verbs.

Sir John Gilbert (1817-97) spent much of his time at the city office where he worked sketching the busy life of the great city thoroughfare especially military displays which he could see from the windows, before he fully devoted himself to learning every art technique known to man
