Learn Russian

thanks for your suggestion, brazzaville! even though I didn't get the most part of it (actually, only understood some names of places and other minor words so far :) ), it's very very nice, specially for getting the pronunciation, which was my goal. hopefully, soon I'll be able also to understand more of it ;)

here I put some direct link to my favorite russian radio station's web streaming.

Мегаполис-89.5 MGPS.FM (http://fm-megapolis.nightparty.ru:8000/megapolis-128k.m3u)

Радио Монте-Карло (http://217.16.18.76/MonteCarlo-22K)

Радио MAXIMUM (http://www.radio.comcor-tv.ru/playlist/radio.m3u?station=maximum&stream=128)

My personal favorite is Monte-Carlo. Maximum features Rock music and Megalopolis is for the dance lovers, by the way.

enjoy ;)

From:

Monte-Carlo - the best! )

I share a podcast series with two other authors. The Russian there is not that simple, but not too badly spoken. We produce two or three episodes a week. The podcast is on jazz/improv music, though. If it does not scare the socks off you, here's (http://jazzru.rpod.ru/) the Web site, and here's (http://jazzru.rpod.ru/rss.xml) the iTunes subscription.

From:

no, hehe. the subject is great, even though I'm afraid I won't get anything from it for still some time :) anyway, it's good to listen to more people speaking, specially native, to get over my problems with pronunciation, and specially to train my ear :) thanks for your link, I've already subscribed to it!

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have written scripts for my personal episodes (which is some 40 per cent of all series,) so if you need it in written form, in order to try to trace the spoken version along the script, just tell me which episode ##s you need, and I can either upload them to my web site, or e-mail them to you.

From:

oh, that would be great, Cyril! if that's not a problem for you, I would love to get such material.

maybe if you put it online could be of help for someone else too, but if it's better for you, email for me is great also :) thank you very much!

there is http://rpod.ru

but, there are too much podcasts.
i'd recommend such things as

http://unknown.rpod.ru/ - very funny show, with professional voices
http://strelnikov.rpod.ru/ - the Father of Russian Podcasting, and the Man with fantastic voice

and my own (sorry :))
http://jenya-japan-journal.rpod.ru/ - I'm telling about my live in Japan
"Двое в Токио" may be a bit harder to understand, because there are at least two people to speak.

(sorry for my poor english)

From:

thanks pocker_girl! I'll check them out! :)

From:

(oops, a typo: pockeT_girl! sorry! :) )

UCLA's Russian department has a couple of good ones:

The business one is all business vocabulary, but she's really good about repeating herself and emaphasizing which cases to use, etc.
