Quiero hacer un peluche a mi novia y he encontrado este plantilla pero esto en ruso y no logro entender nada y ningún traductor me ha ayudado en nada, alguien que me lo pueda traducir por favor.

I'm Egyptian and I want to learn Russian because of Dostoevsky (specifically his novel Crime and Punishment)... My problem is I don't know where to start with Russian. Currently, I know the alphabet and how to write it. One of my friends suggested to me that I downloaded the Anki app, and I already downloaded a few things, but...The problem is I'm new...any advice?

I (22F) was born in Ukraine, but when I was two, my family immigrated to the US, and I grew up here. My family is from a region of Ukraine that was predominantly Russian-speaking, so Russian was the language I spoke at home.

I also attended Russian school once a week, where I learned to read and write at a basic level. However, over the years, my Russian has been getting worse. I've been losing some of my vocabulary, and I often feel like I make grammatical mistakes when speaking or writing. This is especially noticeable when I'm texting. I don't keep in touch with my Russian-speaking friends and family as much as I'd like because it takes me so long to write messages in Russian, and it can feel overwhelming.

I also feel a bit embarrassed because I don't always understand the nuances of modern Russian, especially when it comes to knowing when and how to use trendy expressions or slang appropriately. Most of my Russian comes from the way my parents speak, and I feel like that makes it difficult to develop my own personality and way of expressing myself in the language, if that makes sense.

I've been thinking about getting back into reading books and watching shows or movies in Russian. I was an avid reader growing up, but I mostly read English books. I currently own a Russian copy of Anna Karenina and books like Anne of Green Gables, but I don't really have anything more modern.

I also sometimes watch math lectures in Russian for fun since I'm a math major, and they really make me want to improve my Russian and become more proficient in the language.

Could you guys recommend any interesting books, movies, or TV shows that I could get into to help improve my Russian? I'd especially appreciate recommendations that would help me expand my vocabulary and become more comfortable speaking and writing naturally!

Any other advice on improving my Russian would also be greatly appreciated)

I want to learn Russian so bad, i would appreciate some help on how to start and where.

im starting to learn cyrilic and ive been trying to implement it into my natural handwriting, but im afraid that some letters might be unrecognisable or confusing to a native speaker. do u see any issues? for reference, 2nd pic is my handwriting in english

Thank you all for voting! The title phrase you chose was «Одна из мильона» (“one in a million”), and that’s the version I went with.
Here’s the short:
A quick note for Russian learners: the standard form is «миллиона», but «мильона» is a colloquial, sung form. It fits the rhythm of the original melody better and sounds more natural in a song.
As always, the vocals are AI-generated (Suno), and the translation is my own.
Does it sound natural to you? And which song should we vote on next?

How’s it like to study in Russiaas a student who finished high school this June , plus how’s the social life there and what to expect there like economy,friendships,language,costs etc.

Additionally I would like to study in English programs( I don’t mind learning Russian with it but not like mandatory since I will try to familiarise myself with the language anyway.

I would appreciate any help here🤝

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of TonePerfect, a pronunciation app. Posting once here because the sidebar says that's ok.

There's a free accent check, no account needed: you read 3 short Russian lines, it scores every sound and shows you the one that gives your accent away, plus a small 7-day plan.

https://toneperfect.app/accent-check?lang=ru

The lines go after the usual suspects: ы vs и, hard vs soft consonants, the rolled р, and unstressed о.

It doesn't tell you what sound it heard instead, and it doesn't give you a level. It just scores.

Two things I'd love help with:

1. If you were picking 5 words to separate a good accent from an ok one, which would you pick? ы, soft/hard pairs, щ, stress?

2. If the score disagrees with your ear on a word, tell me which one. I'd rather fix it than argue with it.

This is a russian song of a hungarian band, but unfortunately I couldn't find the lyrics in any language. :(

Far far away, in a non Russian speaking country, I live with my Russian speaking boyfriend for about two months now, although we've known each other for some time and some dramas.

He gave me a nickname which kind of resembles my name - he calls me ноша sometimes.

I thought it was cute, but then I tried to type it in Google translate and found out it's not a very flattering name to call your friend.

When I tried to gently ask him about it he said it's a word no one actually uses today.

I don't have anyone else to ask so here I am - is it a legitimate nickname or is it done kind of a joke I was not supposed to understand?

Спасибо большое!

So I’ve been looking deeply into Russian phonetics lately, and I have a question.

Russian is not exclusive to the thing that's called "rolling R's" — some other languages have that too (e.g. Spanish, Arabic). Basically, it sounds like trilling. And everywhere these kind of rolling R's are quite vibrant, right?

Russian's supposed to have 2 ways of pronouncing the letter "Р" — hard (blue) and soft (green), according to this attached phonetic chart (bad quality, sry). We've heard stereotypical hard R's in Hollywood movies, yes. And even to that Russians say that it sounds softer in reality.

So I went to Forvo to check out the difference across random words

1. Hard sound [ r ]: - "КваРЦ" (quartz) — [ к в а р ц ]: Р is followed by another consonant, keeping it hard. - "РАкета" (rocket) — [ р а к' е т а ]: Р is followed by a hard-making vowel.

2. Soft sound [ r' ] : - "РЕка" (river) — [ р' е к а ]: Р is followed by a soft-making vowel. - "ИнвентаРЬ" (inventory) — [ и н в' е н т а р' ь ]: Р is followed by a soft sign (ь).

When I listened to the soft examples where "рь" was at the end of the words — the trill [r’] felt almost completely imperceptible to my ears. I guess, it was so soft that I could barely hear any rolling vibration at all.

That got me thinking. If a prolonged, stereotypical Hollywood hard Р sounds like a growl, could a prolonged soft "Рь" sound like a cat purring? I'm not trying to be condescending, I'm just genuinely curious, I swear...

Anyway, since I want to rely on actual people rather than just short Forvo clips, could some native speakers try a quick experiment for me?

1. If you read the words on the list or the words similar to them out loud, how does the vibration of the "Р" (R) change for you between the hard and soft versions?

2. What happens if you play around and try to deliberately prolong that soft "рь" [r’] at different volumes (normal speaking, shouting, and whispering)? Does it stay vibrant, or does it change somehow?

I'm learning Russian, but I'd also be glad if other Slavic language speakers contributed to my small research too. Along with Russians, I'd love to hear from Ukrainians and Belarusians too, because to my knowledge, there are soft signs in all 3 of those languages. Although at the same time, the internet says there are no soft R's at the end of the words in Ukrainian or Belarusian?

Regardless! Just please share your own perception of different R's, I really want to hear what you think! Thank you!! ❤️

I really loved the films and wish there were more than three films. I loved its whimsical and cozy vibe, mixed with philosophical and existential undertones, making it appealing to adults too. Can y'all recommend any similar films/short films. Thanks.

I've been looking around for Russian music, and there has to be Russian equivalent to songs of

Any ideas or recommendation?

I just recently started learning Russian. Something that I thought up while I was driving was how to write my name in Russian. My surname has a standard translation that makes sense, so that was an easy choice. However my first name, Garrett, is a little more difficult and maybe it's just on me. I've seen it written as Гаррет, which is a direct spelling but feels like it misrepresents how it should actually sound. I came up with Гэрыт, since that feels like it properly represents the phonetics in English how it should sound in Russian. But I figured it's probably best to get the opinions of people who are native or at least more knowledgeable than me on the matter.
