Hi everyone! I've always loved Russia and the Russian language. I know the basics but I would really love to become fluent in it. Most people recommend learning as many vocab words as possible and to not fixate on the grammar. Any tips would be very much appreciated.
I haven't learned Russian, but German and Spanish. I like listening to music to keep my language skills up. I've found podcasts of German news specifically for non native speakers, maybe you can find similar in Russian. Don't stress on understanding every single word. I feel like that will come with practice and time. Just get the gist of what's being said. I also like to pick up kids books and videos to give me practice; those will have simple words and sentence structure to help you work up to the big stuff. Best of luck in your learning!!
That's good advice for learning any language, at least any Indo-European language.

Posted by JettyI wonder if this works in any other language, though, in Chinese, for example.
Posted by JettyWait! You don't pronounce the L?! 😂
Posted by David_CooperI've often seen these in English, but doubtless the rest of the world does them too.
