Russian language learning difficulties
Hello, Am creating a course for new students who want to learn the Russian language, I just want to understand what are the biggest problems that faced you and what kind of help do you need or wished you had while you were learning the language (online learning)?

Re: Russian language learning difficulties
I think minimal pair drills would be great, especially for hard and soft versions of consonants.

Re: Russian language learning difficulties
