I've started Rosetta Stone, downloaded a Cyrillic deck for Anki, and have also downloaded Michel Thomas and Pimsleur, but don't have any books yet.

Any recommendations on good books, internet resources or methods of study?

Cheers.

Be ready for a long, difficult, arduous 10 years of frustration.

Boshe-moi !

Get some Russian-speaking friends. Anybody. Best asset to have. Language is my hobby, Russian is not too difficult. On the scale, its about 6 (with 10 being the hardest - Tamil and 1 being the easiest - Arabic and Japanese)

Here's one page:

Disney songs on YouTube are great too.

Personally Bulgarian is my favourite Slavic language.

I 've just started trying to learn Russian, hopefully will continue when I get to Korea next month. I already speak a slavic language so shouldnt be too difficult. I figure Im gonna struggle to learn anything beyond basic Korean!
