We Answered:

Well, I don't know any flash sites, though this has a quiz.

RussianLessons is my favourite site for learning Russian. It has a ton of audio clips which really helps. x3

http://masterrussian.com/ is another good site, as is http://www.linguanaut.com/english_russia…

Sorry I can't be of SPECIFIC help, but these sites really helped me.

Ray Said:

Where to start learning the Russian language?

We Answered:

Take a class, Russian is not like French. You have to be immersed to fully understand it.

Bryan Said:

Is learning to speak Russian difficult, and how long does it take to learn the language?

We Answered:

I have not heard of this one, but I hear the linguaphone course is good. Look at www.linguaphonegroup.com for details. i learned a language with their course

Darlene Said:

How long do you think it takes someone to become fluent in learning a new language (Russian)?

We Answered:

I don't know exactly how long, but I've heard, that if someone wants to become fluent in a different language, it takes about 14 years. However, there is help!

Books:
A simple and fun Russian learning book can be found at your local Barnes&Nobles under the language section. It's called "Russian: 10 Minutes A Day."

Internet:
Great website for simple words: http://www.ilike2learn.com/ilike2learn/r…

Audio:
Russia has some of the GREATEST music to listen to in my opionion!! Here's another great website to listen to Russian music: http://www.sras.org/news2.phtml?m=714 and
http://www.blest.ru/
I find that if you constantly listen to native Russians it greatly improves your capabilities!

Influence:
If you live with alot of Russians, then see if any of them can speak English pretty well and then you instantly have a tutor!!! If they're willing to give up that much time!!! And yes, always try to speak Russian to them. If you miss up don't be embarrassed, they might chuckle, but every language does that when someone else trys to speak it and messes it up. However, they will also help correct you in a nice way as well.
And if you're really interested in learning the magnificent language try to rent Russian movies. A great one is, "Night Watch." Get as involved as you can with Russia's culture from their language to their style of clothing and what they eat!

Minnie Said:

can learning the russian language also allow me to speak other european languages?

We Answered:

Russian uses the Bulgarian alphabet (yes, unbelievable but true) so it will be relatively easy for you to read in Bulgarian. Vocabularies are quite close ... some 50-60% of the words are the same. However, pronunciation is different - when you listen to both languages, you would hear that Russian sounds softer than Bulgarian.
I can understand most of the Slavic languages, but I'm a native Bulgarian speaker so I'm used to hearing and noticing the differences and then comparing and finding the right word in my language so that I'd understand what they're saying. Another thing - Bulgarian has borrowed many Turkish words throughout the centuries of Ottoman rule and you can notice that in Serbian, too, so that's quite a big difference between the Eastern and Southern Slavic languages.
Overall I would say that Russian (and if you're really fluent in it) will only help you with reading, and understanding 50% of Bulgarian. And I don't think it will be of any help with non-Slavic languages.
