Who speaks russian here

Im thinking of starting russian language course. I like the language and its bit similar to my croatian although its completely different letter alphabet since we use romanic and they use cyrillic. Any advices? Pros and cons. Im willing to learn one more language aside from my english and weak german lol I always wanted to learn italian or spanish but I feel they are a bit overused

I studied it for a couple weeks on babble before I moved. I had a lot of Russian, Turkish and other immigrants who were around during the tail end of the USSR. They spoke Russian as a first or second language, and I wanted to pick up on it as a hobby. The app is pretty good, but can be a little aggressive with learning as you go on, and you may need to Google or reread a couple chapters to get a good grasp of it.

Pimsleur method is the best IMO, listen to 30 minute lesson per day, listen as many times as needed until it’s perfect before you do the next 30 minute lesson. The first lesson is free on their website and a short preview is free on youtube.

I had good experience with it when learning another language for work in the past.

Relative to English it’s quite complex because we all the verb conjugations have past, present and future forms as well as male and female, and as well there are informal and formal versions of many verbs

Also there’s just a lot more words to express things that don’t necessarily have a direct analogue in English

On the plus side the spelling is much more phonetic than English so there’s that

I've lived in Russia more than six years and never studied Russian in any kind of formal setting; I'm completely self-taught.

This is the best self-led beginner course on the market in my opinion, and it was written before the fall of the Soviet Union.
