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 am Russian./ Unfortunatelly, I got no info about the sites you need, but you can talk to me. And ask. And listen to me even :)

CD's

I just started a couple of weeks ago, and ran into the same problem w/ just learning the written language. I picked up the Pimsleur Russian course on CD for about $40 US, and I'm liking it a lot so far.

As for Linux compatible websites, sorry; I just went through the list of bookmarks I've accumulated and all that I've found require Quicktime, WMP, etc.

Well thanks for looking. Do you know if you can get that cd in england?

The one I have is a Barnes & Noble edition: here (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=0760744475&itm=1). I know B&N.com will ship to the UK.

Damn. The CD's are about $12 cheaper online. I should've checked before I bought them in the store :-(
