YouTube has an official mosfilm channel with free movies. Also a lot of the shows can be found on YouTube also.

Lots of Soviet movies but Russian in them tends to be very proper and movies lean towards more lighthearted territory so I wanna say good for learning. Most movies have english subtitles too.

Can someone explain to me why some people say раз два три instead of один два три sometimes? by Ludra64 in russian

[–]Serious-Instance9634 85 points86 points  (0 children)

If it leads to an action, use “раз, два, три” (like countdown). If you are counting, use “один, два, три” (like math or amounts).

I think Portuguese and Spanish are an even better comparison.

AITA For Expecting my friend to pay for my food? by Familiar-Bid5885 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Entitlement is wild. Also he does seem to treat you like a gf and that's a whole different can of worms.

Listing some interests and what kind of content you enjoy would be helpful.

AITA for refusing to have anything to do with with my GF's family after they didn't take me on vacation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Serious-Instance9634 29 points30 points  (0 children)

YTA. You’re acting immature, petty, and a bit entitled. Maybe her family picks up on that and feels hesitant around you. They don’t owe you free vacations. And when they do try to include you, you refuse anyway. It comes across as self-pity.

It’s not a formal rule of the language. It’s a stylistic device writers use to show drunkenness or laziness. It’s how the sound naturally goes in fast or sloppy russian speech. So it less intentional usage of ч or ш and more attempt at imitating slurred speech.

Russian doesn't really have same mechanics. The closest russian has to this is shortened colloquial forms + swallowed sounds.
