[QUOTE=Atlascore;32533072]Don't do it, they put something in it.. to make you forget.
last time i tried to learn russian i forgot the first three years of my life, dont let teh same thing happen to u[/QUOTE]
This is true. I did this with a Russian Language tape before. I woke up in the KGB Headquaters in Moscow with U.S missile blueprints in my pocket.
I learned some basic Russian, and it was actually rather simple. The main thing that I would suggest is maybe taking on a language that's more similar to your native language. Since you're in America, it seems, I would assume your native language is English. Maybe learn Spanish first, or German. English has weird mechanics, but most Indo-European languages, Russian included, have very similar mechanics that you might grasp easier working with a language closer to your native tongue first.
I learned Spanish before I took on Russian, but it made Russian so much easier to learn, and with Spanish being at least somewhat close to English, at least in the alphabet if nothing else (which Russian obviously does not share), I was able to learn the mechanics better than if I were to have learned, say, Chinese, Arabic, or whatnot. I assume German would be great for this, because German seems to be extremely close to English.
Combine it with something you like. Russian subs or Russian dub with English subs (movies or games). You won't learn the basic structures from it, but you can get a feeling for the language while also doing something else you enjoy, and later it can improve your vocabulary. This is a crappy explanation for a complex process, but basically brain will want to remember the good things, but can't do it without also remembering a bit of Russian you picked up on the way, making memorization a bit easier.
I think without the (English) internet or translations of animanga my English would be terrible.
The internet is full of helpful stuff for people willing to learn and look for it. That's its strong point.
I've been learning Russian for 4 years at school, going at my 5th.
I can't understand shit son.
Lotsa vodka.
Just learn to speak english with a russian accent, they will understand you. I have played S.T.A.L.K.E.R., I know what I'm talking about.
you should learn bowling first

It is true, school slowed me down when I was learning english.
As everyone had already said, don't learn it. It's useless and will be redundant soon when it's a short matter of time that Russia will cease existing because of the government and the people we have here.
[quote="Ond kaja"]В начале июля, в чрезвычайно жаркое время, под вечер, один молодой человек вышел из своей каморки, которую нанимал от жильцов в С-м переулке, на улицу и медленно, как бы в нерешимости, отправился к К-ну мосту.
Он благополучно избегнул встречи с своею хозяйкой на лестнице. Каморка его приходилась под самою кровлей высокого пятиэтажного дома и походила более на шкаф, чем на квартиру. Квартирная же хозяйка его, у которой он нанимал эту каморку с обедом и прислугой, помещалась одною лестницей ниже, в отдельной квартире, и каждый раз, при выходе на улицу, ему непременно надо было проходить мимо хозяйкиной кухни, почти всегда настежь отворенной на лестницу. И каждый раз молодой человек, проходя мимо, чувствовал какое-то болезненное и трусливое ощущение, которого стыдился и от которого морщился. Он был должен кругом хозяйке и боялся с нею встретиться.[/quote]
Crime and Punishment, fuck yeah.
[QUOTE=superstepa;32533333]I am a native Russian, and I tell you DON'T learn Russian
Language is hard and not useful at all
Go learn Chinese/French/German/Italian/Spanish, they are much more useful
На этом я заканчиваю свой пост

French isn't that useful outside of France or Canada.

Rosetta Stone is good for vocabulary, but terrible for grammar, so Russian probably would probably be difficult to learn if that's all you're using.

I learnt the alphabet first, then moved on to rosetta stone, it definitely seems to teach grammar

i'm 65% good at russian
most points lost because it wouldn't recognize my microphone
:pwn:
it's all gibberish to me
On of the benefits living in language-mixed environment is knowing multiple languages.
I know Russian,Lithuanian and Latvian. All are used daily.
I think most important thing to get down is alphabet. Get to know the letters, 'tvjordij znak' and 'mjagkij znak'. Then basic words, move on to sentence structure.
And try to speak russian, lol. Fundamental.
Makes sure to say "Privet Suka" to every Russian you see, it's a polite greeting

No it's not, it's the most polite greeting in the Russian language
