I guess I'm old school:
http://isbndb.com/d/book/russian_for..._workbook.html

I've used the russian and english editions. The Russian edition has zero english in it.

100% Russian pedagogy; not for the weak of heart, but you will speak it like a native.

Is it your major, or are you just taking it for fun?

Here is my other grammar book.
http://www.amazon.com/Introductory-R.../dp/0471007382

This textbook rocks, you'll learn a lot.

BTW, where are you studying at?

[ajrimmer42]

totally wish I knew russian

[Sledgehammer427]

I took the dive and got the rosettastone for russian.

I haven't touched it in a while, but I always intend on going and doing some more learning. I will once I truly don't have anything better to do.

It's very nontraditional, I kid you not, the commercials have it bang on, you learn like you were picking up your native language.
starting with learning boys, girls, boy, girl, man, woman, men, women, then things like the man is running, the boy is swimming, and things like that. I just got past learning colors. since I'm not in any situations where I can use it every day my russian is always a little rusty. but I can read cyrillic somewhat.

while I will probably never be able to speak it on a native level, I do intend on being able to keep conversation.

I think their system is 100% immersion; I learned it the old school way, learning all of the mechanics of the language. I wish I knew english grammar as well as I know Russian

По-моему Susexx прав: если можем, даваите работаем с Skype, так можем говорить вместе (или "одновременно": спасибо, Susexx, я научился что-то новый сегодня ). Через две неделы увидим как будем делать?

У меня один вопроса. это не о язвике а о културе. В лекции нам всегда говорят что если говоришь по-русский, говори "на вы" и "на ты" только если знаешь человек с кем говоришь. Как правое это? Когда могут говорить на ты и если я не говорю на вы когда должно, я дурак?

И вот пожалуйсто, если вас интересует, линк: http://radiosputnik.fi/. Не знаю если работает за границей, а это финское-русское радио который могут слушать в интернете тоже.

Обращение на "Вы" только к незнакомым, пожилым - вежливая форма. Обращение на "Ты" это в кругу друзей, к близким или при полном неуважении к собеседнику (например оскорбления на улице). Чтобы не было ошибки лучше обращаться на "ВЫ", по этикету собеседник сам должен предложить перейти на "ТЫ".

Okay, we need to read that Pushkin poem now. It address this subject

ТЫ И ВЫ

Пустое вы сердечным ты
Она обмолвясь заменила,
И все счастливые мечты
В душе влюбленной возбудила.
Пред ней задумчиво стою;
Свести очей с нее нет силы;
И говорю ей: как вы милы!
И мыслю: как тебя люблю!

Note: great for picking up chicks

Что не могут научиться тут в Subsim? Спасибо болшое (снова).

Im taking it at the University of Tennessee. And no, its not my major or even required of it. But i can fill cultures and civ requirments by taking Russian. So, im going for it. Those books look stout lol... And yea, thats the one.

[nikimcbee]

Well, good luck. It's a tough subject. If you need help, feel free to drop me a line.

I majored in it, so by my second year, I rarely heard any english.

Russian is also in a sense similar to Finnish, which has helped my learning a lot. Not only do we borrow some words more or less from the language, but more so many things are said in similar fashion as they are in Finnish. Russian often feels logical, because I would say the same thing in the same manner in Finnish too.

Im trying to self teach myself Russian, I've made a lot of progress on the alphabet i can just about read the language

im fluent in spanish and english a bit of german too and yea the words are kinda similar

wish me luck on my "learn it yourself" journey

I just found a digital version of Stalker, the 1979 movie from Andrei Tarkovsky.

Russian language movie, english subs, with enough luck I can start correlating the words with the spoken language and learn russian like I learned German via Das Boot.
