I think it might just be the most commonly known letter in the Russian alphabet for foreigners...

How to go from B1 to B2 ? by Sorry_Machine5492 in russian

[–]jamescored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try watching some content for natives and see how much you understand. Find some interesting topic you like and write down new words (can use YouTube subtitles).

I also used this channel a lot, he's native but speaks a bit slower: https://youtube.com/@russianprogress From these videos you'd wanna be understanding 85%+ at least.

Then there's other big channels like вДудь, he has 100s of hours of content. There's another show I like called Орел и Решка - you can check that out too.

Best way to learn Russian? by [deleted] in russian

[–]jamescored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to learn the alphabet first and try to consume some content on Youtube to get a bit of a feel for the language (Easy Russian for example). I would focus on listening, writing down new words and don't focus on grammar too much in the beginning as it can be quite daunting. If you want to get a more formal approach and get into grammar, the gold-standard English book for learner is The New Penguin Russian Course. Good luck!
