    Advice from a Russian who, let's say, knows English and tried to learn Hindi, Bengali, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
    1. Your level is nan, zero, you are completely oblivious of the target language. If you don't have a luxury of getting stranded somewhere in the city of the target country, do duolingo for two weeks. Taste the language.
    2. If you are fine with it, throw duo away and learn phonetics and alphabet. I mean it. There is one common thing between Russian and your language, presumably English: the sound comes out of a hole in the head, that is it.
    3. Start reading very good (interesting, as much as it can be on this level) graded readers that are limited to 100-200 common words. Read aloud. Grasp the idea of proper stressing. Forget about English sounds. There is nothing in common as I said.
    4. Make flashcards (anki) out of unknown words and do them in moderation. If it is too painful, leave it. Just read the graded books again and again. But anki is a great supplement. Anki is not a substitute for reading. You must read a lot and read aloud. This way you will learn words and their context.
    5. Regarding the cases - forget it. Complexity grows exponentially the more words, genders and tenses you know. It is imposible to learn conciously, but it is easy to acquire without even registering it. It is easy, but it requires time, years, actually. So be merciful and compasionate to yourself. Just read aloud and continuously understand (not translate, understand) what you are reading.
    Extra advice:
    The above steps alone may not give you enough stress to fire up your neurons, so I would highly recommend a monolingual Russian companion, or one who barelly speaks your language. His only task should be to listen to how you read aloud and correct, read himself and make you repeat. This is pretty cheap, from 7 to 20 bucks for 60 minutes. I personally forced my Chinese teacher to do just that lol and it works pretty well.
    Grammar and other fluff can be googled when YOU need it.
    This path I described is a slow process, but it is, nonetheless, the fastest.

    i agree about learning slow; dont get into bad habits - coz most people won't correct you - and i found by doing this slowly with duolingo and conversations i watch and hear, and films, I can *CLICK* have an "AHA moment" on how the grammar works.
    i honestly find, from years of learning chunks of different languages - and having learnt french and german good enough to talk, and spanish & portuguese good enough to read, and often listen - that as they said, getting a good foundation, and letting it slowly integrate is good.
    we ain't all like Kazuma, and whilst I'd love to buy a copy of his book he released; i think because he FOCUSSES on languages all the time, instead of having a life, it's gonna come quicker.
    honestly I don't know how he does it; it's mad watching him speaking huge chunks of like 30 -40 languages!! (then say he only speaks 8, humbly)

    To all Russian learners - Russian is a language you have to listen to A LOT to learn it faster.
    Although I’m a Russian native, I’ve a bunch of experience teaching the language to my international friends. Believe me, nothing will help you learn cases or grammar faster AND easier than listening to music/short stories in Russian on repeat. There’s a bunch of playlists of these on RUclips, good luck! удачи!

      ⁠@@kingofthejungle2894 the only thing i would recommend is to listen to a lot about what you love/passionate about, but the deep search is required as it is no easy to find stuff you love in russian when just starting to learn the language especially. but constant listening is a huuuge boost to your russian grammar, to understanding cases especially (based on my experience)
      speaking of music, there are a couple of bands/music artists i recommend - Монеточка, МЫ, Перемотка, Би-2, Земфира, Flëur, Мумий Тролль, Порнофильмы, Сироткин, Пасош, Буерак, Oxxxymiron, Noize MC, Кино, Дайте танк (!), Три дня дождя, Нервы, Пошлая Молли…the list could be endless lol
      and yes i’m teaching russian just for fun

    3:39 чаще всего это неверно - носители не ошибаются, а говорят на изменившемся языке. Язык мутирует и это естественно.
    Конечно, носители могут ошибиться, но только в момент, когда сдают тест на знание формального литературного языка - то есть ошибка происходит в литературном языке, когда говорят на литературном языке, - вне этого, ошибок такого рода, нет.
    Если люди говорят в повседневной беседе, то они и не говорят на литературном - они говорят на своём, личном языке, а не на формальном.
    В повседневной жизни люди и не говорят на формальном языке и не сдают тест. Потому что формальный предназначен для формальной сферы - это инструмент, который уместен в определённом месте, а не везде. И говорить, что человек ошибся в момент, когда он и не поменял конкретный инструмент - неверно.

    So something I think is important for Russian learners like myself is to break down the groups of the language and spend your daily practice going through the list or which ever you feel like needs more work. Grab your notebook and write down all the groups of Russian language.
    Vocabulary
    Grammar
    Reading
    Speaking
    Writing (don’t focus too much on it unless it’s your specific goal)
    Cases
    Also apart of vocabulary but it might need its own group but for me it’s the use of more advanced words. Don’t just learn one word, learn the synonyms too
