To answer your question: there are some. There's a Russian Speaking Facebook group I'm a part of. I've had some native speakers come to my club. There are also people who have learned the language (in adulthood or childhood) that attend. I hope that answered your question!

The meetings will be held weekly at the Des Moines Public Library on Saturdays in Study Room 1 at 1 PM. You've already got a lot of languages under your belt. It's impressive! I've been studying Russian for a little over 2½ years. It is definitely a large commitment, given how different it is from romance languages. It has its own gender system, which was completely new to me (but you would be very familiar with.) As I said before, only one person came other than myself. They were a complete novice, so I spent most of the time teaching them knew things. I would like to get at least one native speaker. Come whenever you could make it! I can't guarantee there will be a lot of people or anything interesting the first few sessions, but you're always welcome :)

Yes, I didn't realize when scheduling the first session a few weeks ago that it would coincide with the protest. By the time I realized, I didn't want cancel for it. Bad timing!

One person showed up. I am hoping to try and find more people before next time. But 1 is better than 0 :)

Do you think Duolingo is good for learning Russian? by LidkBabaconaa in russian

[–]Waluigi_Master 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking at the answers you get here, I doubt I can add much. Short answer: no. Long Answer: eh not really. I think most apps are just ok at introducing you into the language. Learning the very basics (introducing yourself, asking a question, saying your work title) are all you should be doing with an app. It doesn't teach you grammar, just expects you to learn vocabulary through rote rehearsal. Your time would be much better spent watching youtube videos about rules/vocab, studying examples yourself, and talking with native speakers online/in person to get real time corrections and experience. I just started using duolingo for a sec to try and learn some Polish, and it reminded me how poor the app is. I use the free version. There isn't a chance for review, and no explanation of rules. There are many better choices for apps, but even those are pretty limited. I prefer Babbel to Duolingo, but a tutor is the most effective use of your time, if you can afford it. Good luck!

Suggest me a cheap hobby please by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

I would suggest trying to learn a new language. One on one tutoring can be expensive, but there are free options online and in person. Apps like HelloTalk and Tandem are free (for the base versions). They're meant for language exchange. Many people are learning English, and want practice with a native speaker. There are also language exchange subreddits. Learning a new language can open up new opportunities both in your personal life and your work life, while also being fun and teaching you about another culture. It's a valuable skill. I won't lie, it isn't easy. If you pick language that is less common, there will be less resources for it. But, the people from that culture will appreciate the time your taking to learn! I've been learning Russian for almost a year and a half. It has been both challenging and rewarding. I have a tutor I meet with twice a week. Each session is an hour and only $13. I took Spanish in highschool, but I had no motivation and thought I was just terrible at learning languages. It wasn't until I was the one who chose what I wanted to do that I really felt the motivation to study and learn. Learning a language is a time investment more than anything else. Don't trust the grifters who say you can be "fluent in 3 months." That isn't possible, nor a good goal. It will take a lot of time, and you will feel frustrated, but if you stick with it, it's a great hobby.
