i'm starting the duolingo russian course to get my fluency back
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
does anyone want to learn russian with me
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
they have daily goals now!
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
and if you're using chrome, you can set browser pop-ups to remind you
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
the goals are as low as 1 XP
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
no, no, like, the browser will literally nag you
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
learn russian with me!!
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i mean, i'm "cheating" because i used to be bona-fide bilingual, i'm just trying to rebuild what i lost
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
so i'm starting from the very basics u_u
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
honestly russian is not very hard once you learn cyrillic and the tricky grammar bits
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
there are no articles
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
gender is super intuitive
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
you can pile in words any old way, there's no sentence structure
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
we can practise together on discord 8D
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
oh! it's a non-shitty skype
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
oh!!
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
are you on windows or mac?
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
bc both have transliteration keyboards
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
where the letters are mapped (mostly) to their counterparts or to intuitive alternates
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i think they're called phonetic layouts
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
that's what i'm using bc i don't know the russian typewriter layout
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
you are way more dedicated than i am 8V
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i'm not giving up qwerty, so typing cyrillic with the qwerty layout is ideal for me
