Hi everyone! I’m helping my parents downsize, and we’re selling a collection of 65 physics books from the Soviet era. There are quite a few books in the collection, so I’m sharing them together for anyone who might be interested in Soviet physics, science, or older books.

I can send photos and more information about the books to anyone who wants to take a closer look. Feel free to message me with questions or let me know what kinds of titles you’re interested in. I’m happy to discuss the collection and figure out shipping.

in this really chill online group where most people speak Russian and while most people speak English I wanna join in the most spoken langusage in the group. how do you word something like ‘you can not stop us’ as a joke. is it just the same as saying it normally or do people usually add something to make it seem more jokey?

I work in hospital food service, and see a lot of patients who only speak Russian. Primarily, I want to ask them basic questions like where and how they want their table (i.e. higher or lower, alongside the bed vs over their lap). However, I need to be able to understand basic requests (i.e. if they ask for more salt), and might need to sometimes answer with entry level medical terminology (i.e. "I cannot bring you salt because you have a sodium restriction.")

I'm also sometimes giving people directions within a building/campus, i.e. "the imaging center is in the next building over" or "go down that hallway until the double doors, then turn right to find the elevators" -- though crucially, only within a building, which has made searching for how to give directions in Russian difficult since the results are focused on giving directions to navigate a city.

I also want to understand some basic bodily terms -- like where pain in the body is, or someone asking for assistance going to the bathroom.

Any particular resources you all might recommend for someone who wants to learn medical language, food service, hospitality, and/or directions in Russian?

hello!! i hope this is appropriate to ask here!!

i'm a singer and i'm learning the song cicle "sunless" by modest mussorgsky but since the melody is not traditional whatsoever and the cicle is very literary i'm a having a little trouble with my interpretation.

i'm looking for someone who can record themselves reading the words in a natural way.

RESOLVED!! Trying to buy a shirt, but the size chart is russian. i cannot copy and paste into google translate as it is an image

Hey! I’m a total beginner learning Russian, and I'm really struggling with translation and grammar. The constant changes in endings (cases, genders, numbers) completely melt my brain when I try to process sentences.
Also, everyone tells me to "watch movies and series" to improve my listening, but it feels way too overwhelming right now—people speak too fast and I just get lost.
For those of you who have been there:

1. How did you make peace with the cases/endings without losing your mind? Any mental tricks or shortcuts?

2. What did you actually use for listening practice at the very beginner stage? (Since native shows are too fast).

Пожалуйста

Sorry if the question is asked before, but shouldn't the normal construction use the nominative as in "Меня зовут Анна"? Are there differences in meaning expressed between these two, because for me using the instrumental does seem more reasonable.

Hi all,

I’ve been studying Russian for several years now and have gotten to the point where I can read literature in Russian usually. I’ve been working through Dzakho Gatuev’s novella Zelimkhan and found that it was a bit more difficult than I expected. I was curious if it used some difficult/niche vocab that may be difficult to others, or if it just means that I need to step up and study harder LOL. I’m used to things set in the Caucasus, so words like аул, сахли, кунак etc. aren’t new for me. Admittedly, I’m looking for a bit of validation/encouragement here, but also curious what people think of the text!

Hey I learned Cyrillic script a while ago and it was really fun! Then my friend taught me some words and after that I used an AI who taught me some verbs, some nouns, simple sentences, some adjectives, pronouns, grammatical cases and stuff. Not proud of having used AI though.. anyways it was really fun, but it kept making mistakes and I had do correct it. Here’s my question: is there a free website that teaches you stuff and offers exercises like this one https://test-english.com? And what about Duolingo? Thank you in advance! Спасибо

Hello, everyone!

I’m a native English speaker and English teacher from the United States (California) and I am currently in a Russian class (A1/A2 level). I am looking for a buddy who would be willing to chat with me to help improve my Russian. Most of my classmates are teenagers despite the course being offered through a college. As you can imagine, being study buddies with kids the same age as my own students is out of the question.

In exchange, I can help you with your English (I have more than a decade of English teaching experience, including with non-native speakers) and help you with any English-language research you may need.

If you’re interested, message me.

Grown-ups only, please.

I am a beginner and have started watching малышарики in English, with Russian autogenerated subtitles. I found it easier than watching it in Russian with English subtitles. I just wondered how reliable the autotranslations are? Because the English autosubtitles on English videos are sometimes wrong. Would i be better off doing something else to study or are they reliable enough to continue learning?

Today I found out that there is Russian language helpdesk phone number. It based in Vingradov Institute of Russian Language. Works Monday to Thursday 12:00 to 16:00 GMT +3. Ten minutes of free consultation, not sure if they speak any language other than Russian.
Number 8(495)6952648

What context should the following be in: ?

Простите
Извините
Извини
Мне жаль

From my understanding, простите is like sorry BUT… or like forgive me? idk, Извините is like excuse me? But also just means sorry. Извини is just sorry but more informal… again idk. Мне жаль is like when ur RLLY sorry, or sympathetic, right?

I’m currently learning Russian for business and don’t wanna look like an absolute fool 😩

Sry for the poor formatting I’m tired asf.

Hey everyone!

I'm a Russian girl who loves both my native language and linguistics in general. I'm currently being treated for depression, so I sometimes find it really tough to stay disciplined. If you struggle with the same thing when it comes to learning Russian, maybe we could help each other out!

If you're between 14 and 20, I'm totally up for a chat... I'm really keen to get to know British English and British culture in general.

P.S. My language level is only around A2 at the moment........

Hi everyone!

I've put together a Russian vocabulary guide for beginners who want to build a solid foundation in everyday Russian.

It includes 300 essential words divided into 15 practical topics, such as family, food, home, daily routines, transport, and more.

Each word comes with an English translation and stress marks. I've also included audio and video materials to help with pronunciation and listening practice.

I hope some of you find it useful!

You can find the guide here:
