Yesterday I discovered an interesting resource for learning Russian – Russian Podcast<\/a>, which includes a series of conversations in Russian with transcripts.<\/p>\n

There are also videos featuring conversations with various people, with subtitles in Russian and English. These are called vodcasts<\/strong>, which is a new word to me. Most of the material is free, but you can get more if you subscribe.<\/p>\n

In a video I watched yesterday the host chats about language learning with another Russian woman who lives in Paris and speaks quite a few languages. One expression I picked up from their conversation was \u043f\u043e-\u0447\u0443\u0442\u044c-\u0447\u0443\u0442\u044c<\/strong> (pa-chut’-chut’), which means little by little, and that is one of the suggestions about how to learn languages that is discussed.<\/p>\n
