textbooks are for women and posers

I thought it was useful. I learn better from books.

Because you said so?

I mean, they are kind of marketed towards that demographic. At least the main ones. You can always get them online for free and use them yourself.
You don't have to think to yourself "But what would ISTANBUL say?". I swear I don't mind, go ahead and try things.

Some books are better than others. Grammar guides are useful.

I won.

600 replies, 4k views and I'm actually learning Russian. People told me to give up, they had no idea I was being serious.
I speedran a duolingo unit, timed it. 20 minutes, theres like 8 units left. I could complete the first section in 2 hours at maximum efficiency. There are about 100 units, so the entire duolingo course would take you 33 hours. And ISTANBUL thinks thats impossible o algo.

I'm struggling with Anki compared to duolingo, duolingo gives you images and the voices actually aren't that bad on the russian course. I've gotten used to the characters so it's whatever now, I've turned off animations so they don't look so gay and it's fine. My anki deck has no images, no themes, just random un memorable bullshit, and I have to be honest with it o algo and 99% of the time I can't remember a word after I've just used it, which is why I think duolingo might be better for spaced repetition.

But doing my own research is far better imo. I remember a few names of animals, e.g хорёь, луса, собако, кошка / кот. But ultimately, it'd be better to make my own anki deck, or read something and input the words into a dictionary. Albeit, even with duolingo, I can't really remember some of the words until I see them again, which means I just have to keep at it using spaced repitition, which I think duo does well and makes it fun, forms a habit.

Learning is not a chore for me, everyday I wake up fully committed to doing nothing but learning Russian. TF2 got boring, so I mostly just wake up and learn Russian for hours until night time, that's when I watch House MD.

не у меня есть жена однако

I was able to read this after my duo lesson today, albeit, the однако word, I had to look up in a dictionary. Which I'm using https://en.openrussian.org/ for.
It's only been 4 days though, but I estimate I could complete the entire duolingo course in 33 hours, which could easily be divided up into 2 months. But, to be honest, completion is not a good metric and perhaps Duolingo is bad for that, you can't be "fluent" in a language, not from duolingo atleast. So I guess I'll rely on you guys to help me fill in the blanks.

I'll keep this one: трахнуть
