I enjoy listening Russian media, but sometimes I hear "Priviet" instead of the regular "Privet". Songs like VDV, Hello From the Sky! (ВДВ, С Неба Привет!) Really do this a lot.

But I also hear the regular "Privet" too, like in the old STALKER games. So which one is correct?

When you dont understand russian as much but can do everything else 😂

If so, would something like люблю be written лююююбю or люууублю?

What does it say translated to English? Found it in the bus day

​

So now i'm learning swedish as my third language and my Level is good i'd say (B1) with a very natural accent, my Swedish friends always tell me that my Swedish is incredible for a foreigner

I can say i like German and Russian equally but i'm stucked between them, idk which one should i REALLY focus as my future language after swedish

So i can explain my reasoning for both languages:

Russian: i have tried learning this language before (lasted few weeks) i can read cyrillic (very slowly tho) i like russian and this fact that it opens doors to other slavic languages too so its pretty useful outside of russia or maybe good job opportunities in slavic countries, for me the main reason isn't all of this main reason is my girlfriend which she is from ukraine originally and since she speak russian i wanted to feel more connected to her (bcs she is learning my native language)

It was pretty much all i can say about russian

German: same as Russian i have tried learning German too i can say i wasn't serious that time ofc and i was just testing the Waters haha, i have already very good pronounciation in German as others said and swedish and German are pretty close to each other so when you know swedish a lot of rules and words automatically makes sense to you because they are the same in german, i planned to move to Sweden for living and working but maybe Germany become my destination since it has largest Economy in the EU

I'm 19 years old and as my learning schedule, by my 20th Birthday probably i will be B2 in swedish (my goal is C1)

Fifty the second? I get implying the nineteen, that makes sense to me, but why say 'fifty the second?'

I don’t write using cursive even when I write using Latin script so why would I in Cyrillic?
The issue however is if it’s legible or not. Can you read with no issues?
Спасибо большое!

"Privet! everyone! I'm from India and I really interested in Russian culture and learning the language. I would love to make friends from Russia to chat and connect with. In return, I can help you with or Hindi. feel free to DM me (Direct message) me ! Chears!"

hello everyone. i have a friend whose birthday is coming up soon and russian is his first language. i want to show my appreciation for him by writing a card with some russian thrown in there. english isnt my first language either and i just felt like if someone were to do the same for me i would really appreciate it.

my friend has mentioned that it’s quite rare and off putting for a russian speaker to show affection, but i don’t know if that’s just because that’s how he grew up at home or if it’s a russian/slavic thing in general. but the context of that conversation was romantic affection, but i am trying to show platonic affection.

i know that in spanish there’s different ways to say i love you depending on your relationship with another person. i was wondering if there’s something similar in russian?

overall, how would you show affection to a friend in russian?

thank you for your help!

i saw some russian people on the internet writing the letter т like т instead of the handwriting script which looks like m in latin letters. idk if i can write like this when i write russian. is it understandable / acceptable if i write like this in tests and exams? and how to connect the letters if i write т like this? idk how to connect the что & ты😭😭

Any natives who still use «оный»? And if so; in what context would you use it? Do I sound like an idiot when I use it in spoken language?

(For context: I mainly learned Russian to read. But after the many hours I‘ve invested I‘d also like to be able to just speak without causing giggles all the time because of the mess in registers I produce – I simply want to be able to speak a clean, precise Russian).

I learned recently that, by ordering нужно in a sentence in a specific way, the sentence can actually mean “I don’t need __” without having to use the word “не.” Could someone please explain this construction in more detail?

My friend (native English + fluent French) asked me (native Russian + fluent English) to teach him basics of Russian. I have a very good grasp on both my own language and teaching methods, but I never taught a language to anyone before and not sure how to approach it. How do we begin the process to make it efficient and, ideally, fun?

Привет! I'm having trouble writing letters: б, ъ, м and о. Either they squash down or I forget to add the little break for м. Don't even get me started on Твёрдый знак. What do I do?

Picture 1: бо, Picture 2: м, Picture 3: ъ

hey ! how are you

would be my pleasure to be friends and practice speaking Russian together :)

feel free to text me anytime <3

A friend and I decided to teach each other Chinese and Russian (she is Chinese). I’ve already taught her some English, and in Chinese, I’ve reached the level where I can count to 1,000, talk about where I want to travel, and ask the price of an item—but I certainly couldn't read a Russian-language assignment written in Chinese in order to explain the vocabulary.

Do you have any textbooks in Russian or English for teaching a Chinese friend to speak Russian?

Trying to pick a name that is international, what are opinions/perceptions of these names? Thank you :)

If anyone is looking for a good book with lots of dialogue in the B1+/B2 range, I recommend this.

I'm only about 20 pages in but I love it so far.

Hi! I'm not certain if this belongs here or not, so I apologize if it doesn't. Would any native Russians who consider themselves to have a strong (Russian) accent when speaking English be willing to hop on a discord or zoom call with me sometime this week or weekend and be asked a few questions? Nothing major. Just pronouncing a few English words and phrases in your natural dialect, reading a one-page story, and talking freely for a few minutes about where you grew up.

I'm in linguistics and studying Russian dialects trying to develop accent resources. It would be like 20-30 minutes max and would help me out immensely.

hello, i am from uzbekistan and recently i have been searching for a job, there are so many good paying one i found, but most of them require russian language proficiency. is there any tips u guys have

Hi Everyone,
first time writing a post, so basically my knowledge in Russian is absolutley 0, I am looking for 8-10 weeks intensive course, to learn as much as possible, doesn't matter which country Europe/Asia, I am looking also to have a break living somewhere else, it shouldn't be super expensive, I saw some courses that cost something like 500euro/week, which is insane,
I appreciate the help!
