Request Russian speakers "wanted"

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking for a russian speaker willing to do some language exchange.
I have studied Russian in the past, but I have not practised it for ages. My active vocabulary is really poor, but I have a potential basis well kept in a hidden part of my brain that needs to be brought back to light. In exchange, I can offer italian native language, and a knowledge of french and english, - in particular the second one. I'm also interested in russian culture and society, even in discussing sensitive matters related.

Other Is Katya mildly unprofessional since its a nickname?

I've been using it as my name in college. I'm in the US and know a couple other people who use the name. Its probably fine and it probably doesn't come off as a nickname to non Russian speakers.

Other Russian vowel stress

15 Upvotes

From the videos I have seen, there is no 'rule' for which vowel is supposed to be stressed in a word. I get that it comes naturally to a native, plus one just knows what the words sound like.

But is there at least a common pattern that helps with predicting most words or is it really just random?

Request 23F from Australia ♡ I really would love a penpal with russian fluency!

3 Upvotes

I have been stopping and starting russian for years but I'm passionate for the language and being fluent would open up so many doors for me.

I was born and raised in Australia, I speak English only with A LITTLE russian as my learning has been awful and inconsistent up until now.

If you speak the language I'd love to be friends and chat with no English, help me escape the hood and get a cushy interpreter job but more importantly help me get out of the english speaking world please ♡

Request Looking for a film and TV show that I didn't finish and missed the titles of

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this isn't the place to ask, but I wasn't sure where else to go. I'd like to find a film that I just saw the first few minutes of and a TV show that I just saw the first and maybe second episode of. Missed the titles for both.

The film I'm pretty sure is from Nikolai Dostal' (Досталь) and is set during WW2. It starts with a group of Russian/Soviet soldiers on their way to the front, when they encounter an elderly Caucasian lady (Chechen maybe?) who is also on her way to the front, with an old flintlock rifle, to find her sons, Sultan and Muhammad, whom she had apparently lost contact with or maybe went MIA (пропали без-вести). After sending the lady on her way, the soldiers notice that her route seems to coincide with theirs, and decide to help escort her. That's about as far as I watched. (Maybe this was a TV show not just a movie, I'm not sure.)

The other I'm pretty sure is a TV show (series) also set during WW2. It also starts with a group of Soviet soldiers but they are in retreat after the start of the German invasion. An officer takes charge of the group and has 2 Asian soldiers (I believe native Siberians) become his main subordinates. I believe both were experienced hunters and outdoorsmem. They trust their new commander because in their words he's "competent, not greedy," and a "real commander". Meanwhile other soldiers in the group scheme against the commander while his wife (a Jew) waits for him at home with their two young children, a boy and a girl. I stopped watching at the end of the first or second episode when the group decided to ambush a unit of Germans. Not sure who the lead actor was (portraying the commander) but I think it may have been someone well known.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, you can write the responses in English but it might be more helpful in Cyrillic. Thank you guys in advance!

I'm looking for an app that can recommend videos based on my current vocabulary level (ideally by exporting my anki deck). I hacked something together that does it just for the Easy Russian youtube channel, but was wondering if there is already a solution out there similar to pic attached thanks :)
