Hola a todos. Soy nuevo en Reddit y este es mi primer post. Sé que es poco ortodoxo empezar así, pero estoy aquí con una meta muy clara y con el corazón en la mano.
Para ponernos en contexto: soy de Rusia, pero actualmente vivo en México. Como muchos de vosotros, conozco lo difícil que es adaptarse a un nuevo país, aprender un idioma desde cero y chocar contra barreras culturales. Por esa misma pasión por los idiomas, decidí crear "RusoFácil", una aplicación diseñada específicamente para hispanohablantes que quieren aprender ruso, explicándolo todo de forma sencilla y en español.
Pensé que programarla era el mayor reto, pero me equivoqué. La verdadera pesadilla está siendo que la gente la conozca.
Llevo dos meses publicando en todas partes, compartiendo en redes, y en todo este tiempo solo he conseguido una sola suscripción de $5. Es una sensación de impotencia tremenda. Te sientes totalmente invisible ante el silencio y la indiferencia general.
He intentado de todo. Incluso he impreso carteles físicos con códigos QR (adjunto las fotos aquí en la publicación) y los he pegado yo mismo por las calles. Veo a la gente pasar y ni los miran; parece que a nadie le interesa aprender nada nuevo hoy en día. Entre el clima político actual que aleja culturas y las grandes corporaciones que aplastan a los pequeños desarrolladores, uno a veces siente que no hay espacio para los proyectos hechos con amor y esfuerzo propio.
He oído leyendas sobre posts en Reddit que "explotan" y llegan a la luna. No creo en esos milagros, pero a estas alturas, estoy en un callejón sin salida y no tengo ni idea de qué hacer para encontrar a personas interesadas.
Por eso acudo a esta comunidad: ¿Tienen algún consejo real sobre cómo dar a conocer un proyecto pequeño sin presupuesto? ¿Cómo romper este muro de hielo?
Si a alguien le da curiosidad el ruso y quiere echarle un vistazo, la aplicación se llama RusoFácil y está en Google Play (es completamente gratis para empezar). También podéis escanear el código QR de las imágenes que adjunto. Si prefieren que les pase la información directamente, me pueden escribir por privado o dejar un comentario y con gusto les respondo.
Agradezco de corazón cualquier consejo, crítica constructiva o simplemente unas palabras de ánimo. Significa muchísimo para mí saber que hay personas reales al otro lado de la pantalla. ¡Gracias!

so my objective is at least to be able to read a book in russian (something the white nights length maybe?) or even just a 15 pages short story or something like that. can't afford a tutor unfortunately 💔💔 i could buy some books if some are really efficient to learn? id like to speak it also, and understand it, id really like it

So I am using Duolingo to learn Russian, it's going pretty well. I gather from reviews and my experience that it's not very good for grammar, but it's free and convenient and I'm learning quicker than I would have thought possible so that's neither here nor there

This morning, I'm starting the section on large numbers and the sample sentence in the lesson is "Иван пришёл в этом году". But году is marked in blue like Duolingo marks words that are supposed to be new to you even though this one isn't. Curious, I click on it, and the definition for the phrase "в этом году" comes up "this year / year / 1905"

So my question is... What's up with that? I know 1905 is of course one turning point in Russian history and everything, the incomplete revolution. But is it so important as to be like a Year Zero? Or does it play a part in a common Russian phrase or something?

Hello, so I just recently got interested in Russian. For about two weeks, I experimented with a lot of methods, but I have yet to find a definitive way. I’m not a Native English user, but I’m somewhat decent as a C1-C2, so I’ve gone through “the grind” of language learning. I also don’t really trust myself to decide on what works and what not, since I’ve never self-taught myself before. I have no rush, and I treat it as a hobby, though one I’ll be consistent in my study. Any help, (textbook recommendations, wiki, articles, personal experience, etc..), would be appreciated!

Hi. I'm looking for a tutor in Russian, preferably in person in the DMV area. Please reply if you are available or impressed someone who does. Thank you!

I need help translating these perfume names .

Any help would be appreciated

Hey guys, so I myself am fluent in Russian because it's my first language. And I'm going to soon work on a Russian learning platform (it's a project that I'm working on for a few months so I wanted ideas), I wanted to know what kind of things would you like to have in the application if you were to choose. For example: flashcards, or a toggle that leads to all free resources in one place, etc. Anything, that comes to mind, basically that would make it easier/comfier to learn the language that you're trying to learn.

Hi everyone! I'm 16F years old and from Brazil. I've been studying Russian for about a year, and I really enjoy learning the language and exploring Russian culture.

I'd love to meet Russian people, native Russian speakers, or people from other Russian-speaking communities to make friends, chat, and improve my Russian. I'm still learning, so I might make some mistakes, but I'm always trying to improve!

Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to talk and become friends! 

Всем привет! Мне 16 лет, я из Бразилии. Я изучаю русский язык уже около года, и мне очень нравится учить его и узнавать больше о русской культуре.

Я хотел бы познакомиться с русскими людьми, носителями русского языка или людьми из русскоязычных сообществ, чтобы подружиться, общаться и улучшить свой русский. Я всё ещё учусь, поэтому могу делать ошибки, но всегда стараюсь становиться лучше!

Если хотите пообщаться и подружиться, пишите мне! Буду рад новым знакомствам! 

(Извините, если в моём тексте есть ошибки, я всё ещё учусь.)

I'm native speaker of Russian language, M, 18. Wanna improve my English. I prefer just talk to u about everything and correct each other's mistakes at the same time. For example, today we talk on Russian, the other day - on English. I'm good not only in speaking, but also in writing, so can help u to improve both.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m looking for someone who wants to learn Russian and interested in teaching English exchange. We could take turns helping each other learn and practice🫂

My name is Nadi, I'm 26yo. My English level is around B1–B2, but I’d like to work on sounding more natural and becoming more fluent. I also sometimes struggle with listening comprehension, especially when it comes to understanding what people are saying in real-life conversations.

I’m looking for someone interested in regular language exchange sessions.

My time zone is UTC+3, Moscow

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to DM me!🤍

PS: I'll edit the post when I find someone✨

Как бы вы поступили в этой ситуации?

I am 20 years old and I want someone to teach me Russian because I love Russia and want to learn it by any means possible

Мне 16 и я забил на русский язык еще в 5 классе, теперь страдаю от своей неграмотности.Все на столько плохо что я даже не знаю как ставить ударение и незнаю почти никаких правил , а запятые ставлю потому что так чувствую.

Если какие то советы как исправить граматику ?

Мне в через год писать Итоговое сочинение по литературе и Егэ по русскому.

I believe the most important thing when learning a foreign language is to start using it right away.

For this reason, I offer practical lessons that will help you build confidence and start speaking Russian - even with a limited vocabulary.

TL;DR: I created a project for Russian learners called "librus", where I voice Russian literature, with highlighted text following my voice, the Russian text, an English translation and a section with difficult vocab.

Hello, fellow Russian language learners! I am a Russian native and a language nerd. When I learn a language, I enjoy listening to it being spoken while following the text, so I thought I’d create that content myself for Russian learners. I really enjoy Russian books (the ones that are understandable... a lot of it is crazy hard even for native Russian speakers...) and I stumbled upon this beautiful story by Maxim Gorky. The author tells about his rough childhood through the eyes of a small boy.

I have heard from my friends that Russian literature has enriched their lives and helped them understand a lot of things about themselves. I notice that too.

Anyways, enough rambling! You can read the description on YouTube, and I present to you a sample of my new project called “librus”. In the video you can see what the project is like: moving highlighted text as I voice the story, the English translation underneath, and a vocabulary section with hard words.

Watch it here:

I put a lot of time and effort into this video and I plan to make more chapters. Any feedback is welcome, and if you want to listen to the whole story, I would appreciate your support. You can get the whole story + vocabulary files through the link in the YouTube video description <3

If you have financial difficulties and would still like the full story, just reach out to me and I’ll do my best to arrange that for you!
