Hi I have just found this community and decided to join. I am really interested in the country and anything to do with Russia. Therefore I have recently just started to teach myself the language. Any tips? I started learning how to pronounce words but found it diificult because I don't know anyone who speaks russian. Are there any websites compatible with linux which have pronounciations of words. I'm now learning how to write in russian which I am finding easier.
So any tips that people can give a beginner?

I was wondering if anyone here likes Russian movies.
And have you used Russian films as a tool to learn Russian?
I have a Russian Movie reference directory:
http://www.geocities.com/rusatg/dir.htm
Been working on it in my free time for last 8 months.
Maybe someone here will find it useful.
Also would like to know if you have any favorite Russian movies.
Mine is Обыкновенное чудо / Ordinary miracle

hello. I'm kinda in the same boat as everyone else is that's been updating here. I've fallen in love with Russia and the old Soviet Union. I've been teaching myself basic phrases. I've been reading different forums to learn about life in the new democratic Russian Federation.. but then I realized I have a livejournal and this will be the best way!

I'm considering spending next summer in Russia and taking the second language programs there. I'm very interested in living there too!!


I would love to talk to anyone who lives in Russia that would be willing to talk to me. I want to learn about the culture, living conditions, everything.
