#Обновление прогресса/Progress Update - как выучить русский язык/How To Learn Russian
Помощь носителей языка Английский с Голосе.
Helping native English speakers with Golos.
So if you're reading this it's possible, even likely that you're learning Russian.
It's also possible that you've followed my this series so far.
If so, well done and thank you. Now it's time to take a short rest, review what we've covered and get ready for the next lessons.
Firstly, however I'd like to clarify something.
Having been told 'I'm following your course and I'm not learning Russian.' is disheartening. It is also entirely missing the point. I am not directly teaching you Russian. You will need to take care of the bulk of your learning yourself. Instead, this course shows you how to learn Russian. Supplementary reading exercises are designed to slowly introduce you to grammar ideas you will meet whilst anecdotes and humour are designed to pique interest and rekindle flagging spirits. I hope that's clear.
Having said that, here's an index of what we've covered so far.
#1 A general introduction and advice for tackling the alphabet
#2 Concerning the Russian soul and feeling like a Russian
#3 Familiarising your brain with the sounds of Russian
#4 Practical steps for self study
#5 Some humour and some recent Russian history
#6 A little vocabulary and some beautiful Russian culture
#7 Short sentences and the story of Rasputin
#8 Using sex as a motivator to learn
#9 A very simple introduction to noun cases
#10 The life of Dostoyevsky
You may drink one glass for each post you have read...
So what's next?
Firstly I'd like to offer you the chance to ask questions.... I'll try and answer. If I can't I'll consult a Russian and get back to you.
Also, in addition to the Learning Russian series I'll be offering a blog of my personal progress learning Russian. Hopefully it'll be an interesting read and a little bit different from normal blogs.
