In my opinion, you have to do a lot of work on your own. Study grammar rules, learn unknown words, ask questions for every little or silly thing that you may come across. Listen to russian songs (so that you get familiar with the pronunciation) and watch russian movies. Listen to radio. Read as many articles as possible, of various content. Even read easy books, say for kids, at least for the beginning.
In general, you should read, study, listen, ask, read, study, listen, ask and last but not least, find someone to practice the language orally!
Good luck!
Also, little by little, you can start typing words, then phrases and then a whole text. You have to be patient in the beginning.
Don't forget to pay attention to the russian handwriting, which differs from typed texts!
