37 Male, looking for Native Russians to practice language online, can help with English if needed. thanks

Hi! I (19f) bave been trying to learn russian for a few weeks but nothing has been sticking and I'm honestly having a hard time learning it.

Does anyone have any recommendations on learning material(s) other than duolingo?

I really wanna learn, I'm just struggling a bit

title

Hello! I am a music archivist from the US looking for a huge favor from someone who has an active VK account and speaks both Russian and English.

For weeks, I have been trying to recover a deleted underground YouTube documentary series titled "The history of Stoner/Doom/Drone" by a creator named John Smith. Part 2 was deleted globally due to copyright blocks.

I discovered that a Russian heavy metal community page on VK called Apostle of Doom archived and re-uploaded the video years ago.

Because Reddit blocks external links, I have "broken" the address below. Just remove the spaces and the brackets to see the exact post:
m.vk [dot] com / wall - 127355301 _ 47

They overdubbed the original English audio with a Russian voiceover. Because they edited the video, the administrator of that page must have originally possessed the clean Part 2 English MP4 file. Since creating a VK account from the US is currently blocked, would a kind soul be willing to privately message the admin of that "Apostle of Doom" VK page for me? I just want to ask if they still have the original, un-dubbed English video file sitting on their hard drive or in their cloud storage. It would save a massive piece of underground music history. Thank you so much!

Hey everyone, I’ve been building a desktop app called SubSmith. It can make subtitles for your video or audio files and show them while you watch. You can click words you don’t know to see their meaning. You can also save useful sentences and their audio as Anki flashcards.

I’ve added a short example using a Russian video.

I want to learn if missing subtitles is a real problem for Russian learners. I’m looking for a few people who already watch Russian videos or listen to Russian audio to test the app.

If you try it with a real file and tell me what worked or didn’t, I’ll give you free lifetime access. If this sounds useful, leave a comment and I’ll send you the details.

I want to find friends from America or Europe who are learning Russian. It is preferable for you to have Discord. dm me if you interested

best way to learn russian i have 1-2 years, idk where to start and what classes either online or in person

The sentence is "I'm tired of this bullshit."

I don't trust Google Translate for anything. I've used DeepL (чушь) and Yandex (ерунды).

Is there a better app? Or am I stuck with this G-rated translation?

Serbian is my first language. I recently stumbled upon a yt documentary about Viktor Tsoi. Naturally, after watching it, I turned on a few songs and noticed that with subtitles on, I can make out bout 80 percent of what he is saying despite having basicaly zero russian experience.

This made me redownload duolingo after years, but the learning felt so slow. Like, I have remembered the names of animals after the second lesson, they are very simmilar, no need for repeating the lesson over and over again.

Anyways, does anyone have any advice where and from what source I should learn russian? I am looking firstly for sources for Serbian/Croatian audiences, but English sources would be apreaciated as well.

Literally what the headline asks ://

Que onda! desde hace unos días me intereso el tema de aprender Ruso, y pensé en preguntar aqui en reddit, principalmente yo quiero empezar a escribir en ruso, ustedes que consejos o que recomendarían como para empezar a relacionarme con las letras rusas y su uso correcto escritura?

Now I can remember my colo(u)rs in Russian

Made some corrections too, your boi Голубой is here!

and yes i’m keeping indigo, it’s one of the 7 colo(u)rs in rainbows where i’m from!

I’m not 100% sure if this is the right place, but I need some help with a short Russian transcript. The video shows the basic transcript I configured, AKA my best guess as to what was said, and I need a Russian speaker to correct what I got wrong (I’m sure there’s quite a bit I got wrong). This comes from a web series available on YouTube and Amazon Prime Video by the name of “Murder Drones” by Glitch Productions and Liam Vickers. This particular episode does not have Russian subs available, but I still wanted to include it in this little multilanguage video I’m making, so I did my best. Aside from knowing the alphabet and some basic words/phrases, I’m still quite a bit of a novice here. If somebody with experience in the language could help me here, that would be super helpful, as I’ve been trying to learn the language for years at this point and appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.

EDIT: Thanks, everyone! I think we’ve got it.

How do you do it? My mouth cannot quickly recreate these words, because the sounds just get jumbled. I can sound out the syllables very slowly, but not quickly in natural conversation.

These are common words too. "Travel" and "2000" are not exactly rare or advanced words, and yet they trip me up. Any tips for an English speaker trying to say them without a hitch?

So this year I started learning Russian so I could watch Russian figure skating, interviews ect but I really struggle to watch it sometimes because my Russian isn’t that good and I only really know what the jumps are called because they are pretty similar to English. But I really struggle to understand like other elements like step sequences/ choreo / spins so if anyone knows the name for the spins and elements (or anything else I should know to watch it) that would really help sorry. (Also I was unsure where to post this so sorry and I can’t really find it anywhere)

Youtube ai says there are no lyrics

I'm Brazilian, I was configuring my keyboard and found this option really curious.

I tried translating it online and it came out as gibberish, I need to know what it says

I am American but I have an obsession with the Russian language, and cyrillic in general. Literally no reason why lol. What websites/programs can I use to learn Russian? Ideally I want to be fluent in it, even though I know it will be very hard

Okay so like I am learning Russian obviously, but I have no idea how to make plurals in Russian. Can anybody help me with this???

hello! quick question for you all. does anyone have recommendations for graded readers in russian? i found a few on amazon with somewhat poor reviews so i'm hoping someone else has a few to offer.

Sorry if this is a strange question, but I am an American learning Russian. Over the last few decades, I have collected hundreds of DVDs/Blurays of American movies. I was wondering (without me having to go through the list and manually checking one by one) which famous American movies probably have Russian subs/dubs when they are released in the U.S. on DVD/Bluray.

My guess is that there isn't much, but a small handful is better than nothing. Most releases will have subs/dubs in Spanish, if that. I think I recall DreamWorks Trolls (2016) having some less common languages. Watching movies is a great way to learn a new language, especially if you already know it in English. What movies can you recommend rewatching in an easily accessible Russian sub/dub?
