LEARN RUSSIAN ON DUOLINGO: tips, pros and cons. Can I become fluent in Russian by using DuoLingo app

One of the cons is solved Duolingo now teaches the alphabet

Another tip for learners is to set your mobile language to Russian. You might not understand some words and it’s a bit difficult at first, but you eventually get used to it. I feel like it boosted my reading skills a bit, and taught me so many new words. Edit: also listen to Russian music! Russian rock is amazing. One of the reading exercises that I do is read the lyrics while the music is playing.

I am fluent in Russian and I think your advices are really helpful to anyone trying to learn it. I want to give all the luck to people who are learning it because it is a difficult language. Unlike english the words change differently. For example, in English you can say Jump. Or jump over, jump under, you are not changing the word, you are adding another one to it. In russian however, you add before the word like this прыгнуть, перепрыгнуть, подпрыгнуть, запрыгнуть... plus russian has the 7 падежей (I dont know the english version of this word) and lastly Russian has a gender FOR EVERYTHING. Any "It" words still have genders. Honestly, good luck to all trying to learn it

I recently completed the Russian Duolingo tree. It took me 280 days. I tried to get the most out of it by reading the grammar discussion forums on the desktop version, as well as spending a lot of time hand writing the sentences in a notebook to help with retention. I filled an entire notebook during those 280 days. I think it provided me with a solid beginner foundation towards literacy and listening comprehension. Now I am using Lingq to improve my literacy and watching Youtube teachers for listening practice. :) I hope to be able to do output soon, but it's still all input for now.

Your English is super good. Super helpful and organized video.

Hey Dasha =] I am at my 4th day of Duolingo and I am already really happy with my progress. My focus is to be able to write and read stuff in russian, but I am always trying to speak as well.

Maybe you know this - but the app has a Cyrillic alphabet section now that lets your learn and practice the alphabeth and the pronounciation of the letters depending on stress and soft and hard modifiers. I just started russian on duolingo. I spent the first 14 days just mastering the alphabet. I spent maybe 10mintues a day and now I am very comfortable with reading and to some degree writing in cyrrilic. I agree that it is a foundation that must be taught before trying to learn the language, but Duolingo made it fairly easy and quite fun.

Great video! Молодец, Даша! Спасибо!

Thank you for the video Dasha! Very informative.

Thank you so much for this, I was sceptical about using the app but your guidance is much appreciated 😊

Thank you Dasha, this is so helpful, especially your reference to Digital Dialects, I didn't know that existed! 🙂

This was really helpful thank you so much!!

There's been a LOT of updates to the Russian Duolingo course since you made this video. I'm enjoying it. Russian is a tier 3 language for me. I'm more focused on German, Spanish, French and Irish, at least for the moment.

I've been using Duolingo for Russian plus a few other languages. Thanks for this video👍🏻 And your Russian accent is awesome😉❤

Thank you for making this video, your English is great and this video is very helpful!

Awesome video thanks ..

I didn’t even realize there’s such a huge difference between desktop and mobile version. I use mobile exclusively, but writing down any questions I have and then doing research on it.
