I haven't made a post about Russian in a while so I thought I'd drop some links for stuff I'm currently using and enjoying! (1 Year ish update :)

Feel free to add your own reccs. I would esp love some good books for like B1 maaaaybe B2. And films that you think are good!

Learning materials:

Russische Grammatik by Dr. Elena Minakova Boblest

This one's German but really good. A complete and consize overview of all major Russian grammar topics with exercises. The same author has also published Russisch mit System for Langenscheidt which I can't attest for but I assume is good judging from this.

Short stories in Russian for beginners by Olly Richards and Alex Rawlings

These are not the best stories for sure story wise but they're definitely for beginners and interesting enough! Contain a lot of basic vocab. I started these a few months in and with the questions at the end and the vocab they were comprehensible. I'm almost done now but I don't know that I will finish cause I can now just read something good.

Russian for free case exercises

They're case exercises. I've done all of them multiple times at this point 👍 I still love this website. So much.

Anki Deck: Top 5000 - 1,395 Russian Verbs

It's verbs with example sentences and audio. English to Russian only. Occasionally the English translations aren't the best but you will notice this. Sometimes you also need to or check the Pefective imperfective pairs. But it's genuinely so extremely good for building vocab I really recommend it.

Entertainment

Podcast: Почему мы ещё живы

A medicine history podcast going over various medical topics. I recommend the one on Acne. Episodes are 45+ min. Published by libo libo which has other things that also seem interesting if you don't happen to care for medicine.

Podcast: Главный медицинский

Another medicine podcast, this one is more about here's what x illness is and what we do about it. Less interesting but still good, shorter episodes (10+ min) I liked the one about migraines.

YouTube: филолог всея Руси

I love this one! Shorts and videos around language and linguistics topics. Also occasionally books tho I haven't watched any of those. Very fun presentation, very interesting!

Video game: Stardew Valley

It's available in Russian has a load of dialogue thats written fairly naturally with a bunch of expressions. A lot of every day vocab. It's cute I like it and already know it. It's available in a bunch of languages ppl may be learning so I do think that's a great bonus. A downside for sure esp if you're starting out is that it's text only, no voice over.

Films:

I've not started any Russian films mostly been rewatching Ghibli movies in Russian which has been good. Also ofc Чебурашка. And there's an underwater documentary on Netflix in English it's narrated by Obama???? Anyways the Russian subtitles fit the Russian audio (rare) so that's also a rec.

is it actually possible to learn multiple languages myself WITHOUT being in classes for them or speaking one-on-one with native speakers?

i dont have the money or the ability really to do classes, and spanish and japanese are really the only languages i could justify learning right now because yhe rest of my family is interested in spanish so we're seeing bout a family tutor, and japanese because of my boyfriend

so itd be kinda useless for me to try 3 other languages on top of those, right?

Мы утратили всю человечность My utratili vsyu chelovechnost We have lost all humanity

Нас в конце поглотит в себе вечность Nas v kontse poglotit v sebe vechnost In the end, eternity will consume us

Мы так долго ждём наконец тепла My tak dolgo zhdom nakonets tepla We've been waiting so long for warmth at last
