So, I Want To Learn Russian.

[scarbunny]

I have used Rosseta Stone to learn a few languages, Italian and Spanish/Latin American, they are quite good and try and teach you organicaly, similar to how you learn to speak as a child, it takes a little emmersion in the country to learn a language fluently though.

However Italian and Spanish are quiet simple compaired to Russian and I think I would struggle to become fluent with out a lot of interaction with a Russian speaker.

Once you have conquered that ***** of a language, go to USA and boisterously sing the Russian national anthem over the US's. Then send me the video.

This idea makes me happy, but you realize there's a 90% chance someone will announce him a terrorist and shoot him, right?

Only 90%? Are the NRA away on a conference or something?

Russian is meh.

I'm from Poland, but I know some words (and understand most) in Russian. Letters aren't that hard to learn, accent is much harder.

Yob te mot

Yob tvoya mach, actually. English doesn't have the "ć" letter used in few Slavic languages. The easiest to show it is a spanish "ch", it's almost the same.

And it means "f**k your mother". "Scur-vy-sin" means "son of a *****". I don't think there's a mo-fo in their or our language.

I've been browsing the web, and I looked at a few products. Initially I thought about Rosetta Stone, but all the necessary apparel for it comes to... wait for it...

£339!

Yes,

So, I need some more options. Google is great and all, but I don't really trust testimonials except from actual people.


So, any suggestions for learning Russian or- while we're at it- any other language?

One of the best free sites on Languages:

http://www.ielanguages.com/russian.html

also provides audio, flashcards, resources and whatnot all free. The other section such as French is also very good.

That's only if he holds a Qu'ran and speaks in Arabic.
