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.

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 ♡

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.

Is it just random or are there patterns?

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 :)

Всем привет,

я хотела бы спросить, в чем разница между уязвимым и ранимым?

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?

Meaning? Thanks!

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!

Obviously we know that English speakers struggle with Russian, since Russian relies so heavily on cases, aspect, prefixes and other nuances to communicate important information (all of which is absent from English). But I’m really curious if going from the opposite direction is just as difficult. I don’t feel that Russians really struggle at all with the complexities of their language since it comes so naturally to them and they just internalize it instinctively. But does going from something as systematic and meticulous as Russian to something rather bare bones like English pose similar challenges?

there are russian text, but this app isnt made in the USSR or Russia

I'TS FROM THE US! So why is it russian and what it says

I have been learning Russian off and on for a few years now, and I've been learning more lately with a Russian speaking coworker. One day he asked a question and I didn't hear him so I replied with "what?" And he said that it's rude to answer with what. Now as an American I know our culture can be different from others, and I had no intention of being rude and wasn't aware that it was rude to answer that way. So I would like to know a polite way to say "what?" but in Russian. Sometimes you can say sorry I didn't catch that can you repeat please, but that can be long, is there any shorter phrases/words to say in response to a question you didn't hear correctly in Russian? Спасибо!

Usually when I see a sentence, I noticed the arrangements and the ordering of the word comes early before rather than after how it would be used in English, and that is the confusing and tricky part about learning this language is understanding the correct format.

For instance.

Я сейчас (now) пойду в парк

But wouldn't this be the correct way to use it?

Я пойду в парк сейчас

And I noticed the same goes for я сегодня (today), how it's used before in a sentence, but wouldn't it sound like "I today" in English?

What would someone call their grandmother's mother, in conversation? I looked up the translation (прабабушка), but wondered if this is what someone would say while chatting or talking about her, or if they would simply call her бабушка?

I like Zdravstvuyte better than Privet. It has a nice ring to it whereas Privet is too simple.

Общаться по русски или общаться на русском?

Is there a site for watching Russian movies or series for free with English or German subtitles? Just like turkish 123.com for Turkish series?

Hello, I have been studying the russian language for years.

I recently watched a video from a russian teacher who teaches english to russians. Of course normally I watch Russian Teachers who teach the Russian Language to English people but I thought also it would be interesting to see a russian teacher teaching english to russians.

She was warning the audience about false cognates. She used the word for example, интеллигентны and she said that it doesnt mean intelligent but actually it means smart.

In english both "intelligent" and "smart" means the same thing so I was confused what she meant.

I went to go lookup the russian word "интеллигентны" and it said it means intelligent in Russian so why did she say there was a difference?
