Dropping the first в helps alot. Because trying to 'v' right before going into a 'st' was tongue tieing me really bad

Thanks! I'll probably start looking for some films, there's one I already intended to watch (but not sure if the pacing would be conducive to learning).

I do have a small collection of Russian music which is slow enough for me to kind of learn, even if pronunciations are stretched a bit.

That makes sense. I've been meaning to add phonetics to my flash cards to assist with longer words, здравствуйте has been the hardest to pronounce so far but защищающаяся seems alot worse. I'll definitely start trying to pronounce it today though.

And being able to get at least an idea of what people are discussing online is really fun. On YouTube I'll sometimes use random Russian comments as flash cards if they're short enough.

Thank you!

 

Привет! I'm currently learning Russian as a native English speaker. I've only been at it for a few weeks but I feel like I've gotten some of the basics down.

Anyone who is more knowledgeable than me, how do I reliably learn which to use from ц, ч, с, щ, or ш?

Also when speaking long words 10+ characters or 4+ syllables long I feel myself triping over my tongue. Moreso than my previous experience with learning German but it has been over a decade since then.

Additionally, anyone else learning a second or third language and hows it going for you?

I only use it when it shows up as a search result in SearxNG or Ecosia, through a frontend like Redlib, without signing in, and with Mullvad active.

Otherwise I haven't gone back. Accounts scrubbed and deleted. Honestly better mentally (disregarding real life stressors and depression) and less new hobbies since I left Reddit.

Russian on Babble. I tried Doulingo for Russia and Mandarin in the past and I really struggled to stick with it.

  1. AES means Actually Existing Socialism.
  2. If having to buy a phone from any sort of corporate entity, they may prefer a Chinese owned entity because of reason 1.
  3. I agree with that, and will provide more options than with a plain Linux phone.

I’d imagine because when a helicopter is going down is absolutely not the time to jump. Depending on how it goes down, you’re at risk of both rotors or just getting hit by the helicopter itself.

Normally an old soviet Ракета watch (that often sticks) or a shitty Casio with a cloth band. Have a couple of broken Штурманские watches as well that I need to fix.

I’d use a burner phone, not for travel to the PRC or because of CSAM, but for travel among western states. Every accusation is projection for them.

The last thing I need is some customs agent cloning my phone and arresting me over something like being a marxist, pirating, or just having made comments about their politicians.
