Instead, I'm going to veer off and try the telenovela method for a while. The difficulty there
is that there are very few media products that have Russian audio and Russian subtitles. At
least that I know of.
For Russian I will be watching золушка.ру on YouTube. This is a film by StarMedia and I doubt
it won any awards. But the language is simple and the subtitles are accurate. что еще мне надо?
StarMedia has a playlist of the series subtitled in russian.
Another source of russian subtitles is kino.1tv.ru but you have to pay (and it's not user-friendly when you live outside of Russia...and they have your telephone number and credit card number: I used an old card and a trash number I usually use for "suspicious" transactions. It's working okay, but in the evening the speed isn't fantastic, difficult to have an HD definition. But the quality is correct to read the subtitles/CC)
