Thank you :) :)

I got the wiktionary one working and that's incredibly useful! The second one doesn't work for me for some reason - I get a weird error saying "405 not allowed" - but never mind :lol:


Wiktionary works for most things for me (but you often have to search for the infinitive/nominative form, just start copying the word in the search box and it normally turns up). I sometimes do a google but it tends to be stuff I don’t need as much. It’s not good for phrases though.

Are there any templates or worksheets to practice the Russian script? For both print and cursive

In Google, Yandex, or VK.com, you can search for прописи.
"Russian alphabet, русский алфавит" in Google should also lead to something...
In the first volume of Modern Russian, there are also a lot of exercices of reading/writing in cursive.

Someone recommended a script practice site which is listed in the resources post at the start of this thread. I can’t comment on it because I learnt the script before I found this forum but might be useful?

In case it might help, I'm mainly into traveling, people, society, anthropology, psychology, art, lifestyle (but not really into fashion/beauty). Thank you!


I thought you might find this one interesting: https://www.youtube.com/user/JonandEva

I've only watched a handful of their videos, mostly those on the topic of language learning (which was how I stumbled across this channel), but it looked fun. I thought Jon's Russian was truly exceptional for a native English speaker (Eva's English is great, too).

Thank you! I noticed that they generally speak quite clearly, so is not particularly difficult to understand what they say, and their videos look interesting, so I'm definitely going to watch some of them.
