Memrise is a great resource as it has Memrise courses and user-created courses. These are the official Russian courses if you go through them one by one they amount to approximately 54 hours of content. The thing I like about Memrise is they test you on your pronunciation, and they have lots of videos by Russian native speakers. So it really tests you in all your skills.
Russian 1 by Memrise
Russian 2 by Memrise
Russian 3 by Memrise
Russian 4 by Memrise
Russian 5 by Memrise
Russian 6 by Memrise
Russian 7 by Memrise
These are some unofficial Russian Memrise courses you might like too. Although they tend to not have audio and they don’t have pronunciation tests or native speaker videos, they can still be a good resource.

Dates and Days of the Week
How to write it?
The order is:
Year: 년
Month: 월
Day: 일
Day of the week: 요일
예: 2010년 5월 7일 목요일 (2010 May 7th, Thursday)
For dates you will use the Sino-Korean numbers, so if you gotta check that lesson yet, you can do it here
몇 년?: What year?
예:
2010 년 = 이친십 년 이친십 년: - 이친 (2.000) - 십 (10)
1998 년 = 천구백구십팔 년 천구백구십팔 년: - 천 (1.000) - 구백 (900) - 구십 (90) - 팔 (8)
1864 년 = 천팔백육십사 년 - 천 (1.000) - 팔백 (800) - 육십 (60) - 사 (4)
몇 월?: What month?
January: 1월 / 일월
February: 2월 / 이월
March: 3월 / 삼월
April: 4월 / 사월
May: 5월 / 오월
June: 6월 / 유월 (not 육)
July: 7월 / 칠월
August: 8월 / 팔월
September: 9월 / 구월
October: 10울 / 시월 (not 십)
November: 11월 / 십일월
December: 12월 / 십이월
며칠?: What day?
it’s not 몇 일 as we could guess with the others, but 며칠 all together and combined.
And the days are:
1일 / 일일
2일 / 이일
3일 / 삼일
4일 / 사일
5일 / 오일
6일 / 육일
7일 / 칠일
8일 / 팔일
9일 / 구일
10일 / 십일
11일 / 십일일
12일 / 십이일
13일 / 십삼일
14일 / 십사일
15일 / 십오일
16일 / 십육일 (read it as 심뉴일)
17일 / 십칠일
18일 / 십팔일
19일 / 십구일
20일 / 이십일
21일 / 이십일일
22일 / 이십이일
23일 / 이십삼일
24일 / 이십사일
25일 / 이십오일
26일 / 이십육일 (read it as 이심뉴길)
27일 / 이십칠일
28일 / 이십팔일
29일 / 이십구일
30일 / 삼십일
31일 / 삼십일일
무슨 요일?: What day of the week?
You can either write the whole day, aka 월요일, or just write the first part, aka 월 in your diary or some calendar. Actually you will find it in the short form in most of the agendas or calendars since it’s already know that the days of the week end with 요일 and would be useless to repeat it all the time
Monday: 월 / 월요일
Tuesday: 화 / 화요일
Wednesday: 수 / 수요일
Thursday: 목 / 목요일
Friday: 금 / 금요일
Saturday: 토 / 토요일
Sunday: 일 / 일요일
In conversation
A. 오늘이 며칠이에요? (what is today’s date?) B. 5월 5일이에요 / 오월 오일이에요 (it’s May 5)
A. 오늘 무슨 요일이에요? (what day of the week is today?) B. 화요일이에요 (it’s Tuesday)
A. 언제 결혼했어요? (when did you get married?) B. 2001년에 결혼했어요 / 이천일 년에 결혼했어요 (we got married in 2001)
Activity
Complete each sentence with the appropriate dates in Korean:
1993.06.23 (금)
2009.03.18 (토)
1982.09.07 (일)
2013.10.31 (목)

莉犬くん - Virtual youtuber who makes small blogs.
辻ちゃんネル - A mom with her young children. Blogs and routines.
So I’ve decided to run with the idea of making a langblr & linguistics directory. I think it’s important for the langblr community to be just that - a community.
As someone who’s new to ‘langblr’ it was pretty daunting trying to find blogs to follow - and it was tricky trying to find blogs of interest that were actually active. Which is why I think something like this would be really useful for us all.
It’d mean that people can easily find active blogs about their target language/s, or check out lesser-known languages or even languages they’re curious about learning. It means that even smaller blogs can get a bit of promotion and be involved in the community from the very beginning.
If the directory gets pretty popular I can also expand it to be a directory where people can advertise the tutoring they’re doing.
If you’re interested in joining all you need to do is go to: https://langblrdirectory.tumblr.com/submit and fill out the submission form. You don’t need an account with a certain amount of followers, an account over a certain age, or even to post original content. You just need a blog that’s dedicated (even slightly) to language learning.

Went for a run
Finished cleaning and organizing my room
Finished reading ‘milk and honey’
Wrote down German vocabulary
Hi, my fellow language learners! I'm back from a way to long break! My dashboard went pretty inactive while I wasn't on Tumblr, so i want to refresh it a bit. Reblog if you:
- are active langblr
- learn German (or German is one of the languages you learn)
so i can follow you.
Today I've learned about 'zwar..., aber...', 'wieso, warum, weshalb // weil' and 'woher, wo, wohin'
Zwar can basically go everywhere, aber goes right after the coma, and nothing is impacted.
Ich bin zwar kalt, aber ich esse Eis.
Wieso and weshalb are synonyms to warum. They are all three answered by a sentence with weil. In the 'weil' phrase, the conjugated verb gets yeeted to the end.
Ich bin kalt, weil ich keine Kleidung habe.
Ich bin soltz, weil ich Deutsch gelernt habe.
Woher + kommen : where are you from? is answered by aus + dative, but if one comes from some islands, one can say use von + dative.
Ich komme aus Frankreich.
Er kommt aus dem Kongo.
Sie kommt den Bahamas.
Wo + leben : where do you live? is answered with in + dative. With the islands, auf + dative may be used.
Du lebst in Paris.
Sie leben in der Schweiz.
Ihr lebt auf den Bahamas.
Wohin + reisen : where are you going/traveling to? is answered with nach + accusative, but if there is der die das die, it's in + accusative, and islands may use auf + accusative.
Es riest nach Berlin.
Wir reisen in den Jemen.
Sie reisen auf die Bahamas. (yes these are the only islands whose name I know in German)
As always, corrections are welcome!
