How to Get Really Good at Russian: Learn Russian to Fluency and Beyond

by Polyglot Language Learning

Millions of people learn Russian but only a very small percentage of learners can actually speak it fluently. Why is that?

People in general are quick to point out that some are naturally built more than others to learn Russian and other languages. This is not necessarily true, however, since we have all come to learn and speak our native language fluently.

If you find yourself overwhelmed trying to study and review thousands of Russian phrases and vocabulary words or are struggling to speak Russian with native speakers, try this book! This is not a basic Russian for beginners textbook designed to teach the Russian language but a book that will teach you how to learn Russian the smart way and get you to fluency faster using highly effective language learning methods and techniques.

There exists hundreds of Russian language coursebooks, Russian phrase books, and online resources to learn Russian, but without smart language learning techniques and strategies, you are likely to forget what you have studied and reviewed and especially during a conversation. There exists an easier and more fun way to build your overall Russian language ability.

In How to Get Really Good at Russian , discover how you can easily conquer the Russian language using highly effective methods and strategies used by polyglots (language learning experts).

I am a little bit inspired. I once read and spoke Russian very well, maybe never quite fluently, but close. I remember a lot, but my ability has faded over the years, and I would like to bring it back, so I thought I would look to this book for some hints, and I got some good ones. The book suggests a number of tools that are readily available on the internet and provides a sensible program for how to use them, but the main lesson is to not be afraid of reading real native Russian writing and listening to real native Russian speech. Just dive in. It may be largely incomprehensible at first, but understanding will come with time and practice, and the main thing that you need is repeated exposure that you can find a way to make enjoyable so that you don't give up. I am not sure that I have the time for this in my life right now, but if I at least try a little, I'll be ready for the moment when I have more time.

Great resource

This was definitely helpful and motivating in my quest to learn Russian, particularly the section on palatalization. Though it probably wasn’t out at the time of publication, I would love to know what the authors think of the apps Memrise and Duolingo, particularly Memrise, as it seems to incorporate many of the principles outlined here.

There were some very good suggestions in this book but I found that it was an advertisement for Anki. It even breaks down how to use Anki, so if you are interested in learning how to use that app this is the book for you.
