Immerse yourself in it. I found my Cantonese leveled up after going to Hong Kong. It kind of forces you to learn faster if you need to order food and the person doesn't speak English.
I saw this ad the other day where this guy offered what he calls "coffee shop Spanish classes" where you meet up with him at a coffee shop to chat only in Spanish. I thought this was really clever as it kind of gets you more in tune with how you'll be using the language.
I have family members who have taught themselves a language with the help of TV as well. Perhaps there's Russian language programming you'd be into watching. Pop that closed captioning on and see how much you can absorb?
Yeah, Moscow is full of workers who speak English, but Saint Petersburg, not so much.moscow is full of workers who don't speak russian, let alone english.

if you are going to watch films to enrich your language knowledge, you better choose those made in soviet times. first, they are not ****e. second, modern russian actors just can't speak clearly.

It's easier to learn a language that has the most similarities to one you already know. Also one which has plenty of resources. Typically German is a good second language to learn for a native English speaker.And Russian is only 3rd most difficult to learn for a native English speaker.
It's easier to learn a language that has the most similarities to one you already know. Also one which has plenty of resources. Typically German is a good second language to learn for a native English speaker. Dutch is close however there is fewer resources. Once you learn a second language it becomes easier to learn a third and so on. Also there's free places such as Duolingo to learn/practice another language.
Unfortunately, Duolingo does not do Russian yet, not even in beta, even though it's the most widely spoken Slavic language. Strange. I do have 6 months of Babbel to try though, so I will see how I get on with that. If my tethering ever works...
example: go here (http://project-modelino.com/movies.php?site_language=russian&learn_language=russian) and look for the films labeled (http://project-modelino.com/images/review_video_cc.png). they should be on youtube with english subtitles (i just checked that with Afonya).Immerse yourself in it.

I think the TV show is a good idea. I'm not sure how I would go about finding one with English subtitles
Are you guys implying that katushkin should go to the bloody oppressive dictatorship named Russia?

I am tempted to go on holiday to Russia. Maybe Sochi. But more than likely Moscow. Or Volgograd. I actually used to be fascinated by Soviet Russia and it's been a dream of mine for like 10 years to visit...

Saint Petersburg. It's forever the cultural capital of Russia. Visit the Hermitage/Winter Palace, the Church of the Savior on the Spilt Blood, and take in a ballet or opera at the Mariinsky Theatre.

Our latest two presidents probably have an IQ of 85, combined.Bush isn’t smart by president standards, but he’s way way above average IQ for a Texas Republican.
