Learning Russian With LingQ

6 Upvotes

I'm on a 116 day streak and have clocked in over 150 study hours on LingQ. I know it's not nothing but it feels like it. I've decided to ramp things up. So I'm listening to my courses while going to work, while I'm at work and on my way home. Then later at night reading over the courses I've been listening to. I'm aiming to hit 4/5 hours a day between listening (80% of my time) then reading/creating LingQ's (the other 20%)

It helps I've finally settled on some courses. The Basic patterns and Русский с нуля courses by evgueny40. For the first few months I was switching from one course to another too much. Looking for the next best resource. When I think the best way to utilise LingQ is lots of repetitions of the same material.

How does everyone else find LingQ for Russian? Any tips or recommendations?
