It’s near the end of 2018 and I just bought a cement-grey, A4 binder for my Russian loose-leaf learning materials. The timeline for this 100-day challenge is outlined at Rushin’ to learn Russian. You can follow along in Russian from day one.
Assimil books and MP3s
I like the form factor of Assimil and its contents are broken up into perfectly sized chunks.
Apps
-
PONS Dictionary Russian - English CONCISE, 5.5.42 (paid version)
First and foremost, a proper dictionary is key. I use PONS for German and know the high quality from there.
-
Voice Recorder Pro for Android (paid version)
I anticipate regularly recording sentences that I make up and write down. They will be full of errors, but the recordings will serve to improve my pronunciation and melodic structures.
People
The following people might come into play during this endeavor:
- Кристина (whom I should probably ask first)
- Настя (who will be most helpful at later stages)
- Владимир (who will likely find it hard to not send me sound bites from time to time)
- Zall (whom I should probably ask first)
- Random strangers
