Conversational Russian
words and phrases
Let me guess. Youve been studying really hard: youve spent
numerous hours learning new Russian words and phrases, practicing
pronunciation, reading Russian texts, and memorizing grammar rules.
However, its still very difficult for you to understand native Russian
speakers, and you dont feel comfortable speaking Russian.
The problem that the Russian language students often experience is
limited or no access to the Russian day-to-day vocabulary that is
used by native speakers. Textbooks often teach formal Russian with
possibly just a few conversational words and phrases. Learning these
few conversational phrases is not enough for a student to
understand a native Russian speaker. This creates a barrier between
the Russian language student and the native Russian speaker.
If you are not currently living in a Russian-speaking country and do
not have Russian friends then you do not have many opportunities to
learn and practice actual conversational Russian.
The good news is that it is possible to improve your conversational
Russian. To achieve this level of fluency you will need to concentrate
on learning conversational Russian words and phrases. Just after a
few lessons you will be able to recognize them on a Russian radio,
TV, or in a conversation with your Russian-speaking friend.
