Help me to learn Russian please!

This site is designed for self-studying learners. We can answer your questions and help with an advice, but it’s up to you to make your studying regular and moving forward.

I don’t understand some lessons even if they are for my level.

The division by levels on this site is not strictly academic but rather conventional, so it’s totally ok if you can’t catch everything for the first time. If you find some lessons being too difficult, just skip them for now and get back to them later. You’ll see it’s going to be much easier next time.

Can I have a private lesson?

We don’t provide private lessons. If you are looking for a private lessons via Skype or a Russian tutor, there is a list of them here: Russian lessons via Skype.

Where can I download a Russian grammar book?

We don’t offer free downloads on our site. If you are looking for Russian grammar lessons try out a free online Russian grammar course. For example, Learn Russian Step by Step.

      Hi Vincent,
      That’s an impressive research. Very interesting, thank you.
      However, I’m not sure what is going to be easier, learn those regularities or just get used to the way the words sound. )

  3. Bonjour,
    Je viens de commencer à apprendre le russe et notamment la leçon concernant l’alphabet.
    Comment puis-je faire passer en pastille grise cette leçon étudiée car là cela n’apparaît pas.
    En effet, malgré que je l’ai étudiée cette leçon apparaît toujours en vert et non en gris. Et je voudrais voir au fur et à mesure les leçons que j’ai étudiée et celles qui me restent pour me faire une idée de ma progression hebdomadaire.
    Merci par avance.
