how can I learn russian in fun/intersting way?
Hello
I learn the alphabetic from this site:
http://langintro.com/rintro/index.htm
and I learn some words from this:
http://www.ilike2learn.com/ilike2learn/ ... index.html
and from then I read news from Google news in Russian and translate the words with Google translation tools, and copy some of the word to Wordquiz:
http://peterandlinda.com/wordquiz/index.php
Actually to Kwordquiz which is the Linux version of it.
but it is boring....
also to learn words which not connect to anything it's boring.
How can I learn Russian in not boring way?
for example, other languages have advantages like Spanish and Japanese since there have fun unique culture ( soap opera and anime, manga)

Or, here

'i' is wrongfullly accented in addition to stress on last syllable.
And,

here comes aspirated k... ( where should be unaspirated ), and for some reasons pronounced as 'kfasss'

Kofyyyye. ( as he was taught to pronounce 'e' like in 'yet'. Now that's forever.
and

obyyyed.
And... For Russian speakers !

Much better, however have problems with leading ( and only leading ) 'r', pronouncing it like 't' or 'p'.

Well... Recodred ( in soviet times ) classic theatre plays? At least is't easy to obtain subtitles for it. I don't consider listening to something without understanding at least 50% is useful.

Even though
culture has been defined as "a luxury; an elite's prestige commodity; a simple aesthetic appreciation; (or) solely a folkloric epiphenomenon."
(Verhelst T. 1990, No Life Without Roots, London, Zed Books, p.17),
and
the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity, proclaims:
Culture takes diverse forms across time and space (Article 1),
it is pretty hard to accept that whimsical and fanciful idea of “culture” in connection with “soap opera” and “anime”. (Globalization of Culture ?)
I cannot but suggest you to read the first paragraph of this good piece of advice:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learn ... ge65.shtml
And to finish with, a well known didactic story.
There's a story about a teacher who told his students: “You know you're making progress in Russian when you speak in Russian , think in Russian , and dream in Russian . “
One day a student came into the class very excited and said, "Teacher, Teacher, last night I dreamt in Russian ." The teacher said, "That's wonderful. What did you dream about?" And the student said, "I don't know, it was in Russian ."
