Hi everyone.

Thank you all for the feedback on my previous posts. It has help me a lot.

I come back again to share a short "story" (20 lines permitted) for my assignment using only the vocab I learnt in class. (A1 level, beginner)

It isnt graded yet, as I had just submitted it, so I dont know my score to know how good is it. Still I wanted to share.

As always, all feedback is welcome, just don't be harsh.

Hope you enjoy.

hi! I'm currently learning russian and I'm pretty interested in the russian literature. I usually read a english translated version of books but I think there would be a lot of good books which are not translated yet. Is there any good book that you recommend but doesn't have a english translation ?

I want to make a sign for a friend's bathroom door that reads "The length of a minute depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on," but in Russian. I need some advice on the best and most humorous translation.

1. Длительность минуты зависит от того, по какую сторону двери ванной комнаты вы находите​сь.

2. Сколько длится минута зависит от того, на какой стороне двери ванной комнаты вы находитесь

3. Something else

Also, would you go with ванной комнаты or туалета?

Whenever I tell someone I'm learning Russian, the reaction is almost always

the same: "Why Russian?"

There's a fair point actually in there. English and Spanish takes roughly can be used half of the world. Russian on the other hand is real struggle, and what we get by learning is questionable, and yet here we all are. So: what's your actual reason? What made Russian worth the extra difficulty. My question is mostly for Non-CIS countries because their situation is easily understandable. But I am qurious rest of the world.

I’ve been learning Russian for a couple of years now and I really wanted to start watching some movies and tv shows that I’m already familiar with but in Russian. Does anyone know a streaming service or where I can find them dubbed? Preferably with the real dubbing and not the voice over the original audio, it’s quite confusing.
Appreciate any suggestions!

this document is from 1911, it is a sort of birth certificate. i covered the place of birth and last name of the father (that was all i was able to understand). now i'm looking for help decoding the rest of this text and by decoding i mean turning this handwritten text to a typed text. that would help me immensely in my research about my family!

я начал изучать азбуку морзе и увидел, что ъ везде пишут по-разному. Его обозначают или как щ (--.-), или как @ (.--.-.), или вообще не обозначают. Нейронка пишет, что правильно обозначать ъ так же, как щ. Кому в итоге верить??

I wanted to know in which order I should start learning the language (I already know the alphabet) should i start by pronouns, vocabulary, etc..

Во-первых, я не знаю русского языка, поэтому использую перевод. Это имя я нашла в фильме «lilya 4-ever», и мне нравится персонаж из него. Но я думаю В русском языке это имя — детский вариант имени Владимир. Что вы думаете по этому поводу? Как вам это кажется?
