Learning Russian using Stranger Things only

    This week I spent some time learning Russian, the language of Russia and the former Soviet Union. However, I didn't try and learn it the conventional way; I decided to try and learn it using nothing but Netflix's Stranger Things season three. I deciphered all the Russian dialogue from the show and had help from my friend Ana to come up with the translations and pronunciations. In the end I wasn't fully able to have a full conversation in Russian but at least I learned a bit and gained a new liking in a new language!
    My name is Cyrion Willems and I believe that life is too short to spend it in your comfort zone, life is too short to follow all the rules and life is too short to not embrace the adventure!

    The funny thing is that I am Russian and do not understand the words that Americans speak Russian language. In Russian you need to clearly pronounce every sound. You're an exception, I understand what you're saying.

      Not really there are hubdredss of proples in federation and moscow is made of emigrants you can barely find a single russian there. You don't need to pronounce perfectly you just need to at least make an attempt and spend 2 hours once learning the alphabet. instead of ignoring half of the letters making up sounds on the fly and outright not caring

    Your Russian accent is pretty good. But you do have some mistakes in the words. Like using certain words that don't fit in the sentence. But other than that, It's pretty good.
