And now for the news...

I want to practice reading Russian and want to keep up to date with Russian news, but if I tried to read 'Pravda' or one of the other Russian papers it would be three days before I even managed to finish the first artical :o

Does anyone know of any Russian websites aimed at younger generations, early teens maybe, that talk about the current news in Russia but use more basic grammar and vocabulary so I might have more chance of understanding the news and learning vocab and structures from it?

Try checking out BBC Russian news. They have a section called "English for Russians" where they translate a lot of political and news terms between Russian and English. While the section is titled "English for Russians", it still works for people learning Russian.

Gazeta.ru isn't too bad either.

Gazeta doesn't look too bad, I shall give it a go. And I didnt even know the BBC did that. Thanks :D

hello,

does anybody know where i can order a russian newsletter for free?

that would help me a lot!

thank you

I've never seen a website with a worse layout than pravda.ru. What are those bozos thinking? If I click on a picture, I expect to go to a page with an article about that picture. Instead, they send you off to чёрт знает -- some page that has nothing to do with the image link.

Arggh!!! :x
