I'm not sure if that's an effective way to learn russian but I did make some improvements on reading Cyrillic so far.
>Learning Russian
Good luck
Good luck to you. Russian is complex, but if studying with passion, you will success. But one warning: 2ch has its own slang. and it might be impolite/strange to use certain words outside 2ch.
Btw I can understand Greek alphabet at a middle level (but not language itself). Do you Greeks have your own imageboards, or maybe threads on 4shit?
>I can understand Greek alphabet
Yes our alphabets are very similar, that's why I managed to learn the Cyrillic in a day or so.
>Do you Greeks have your own imageboards
Yes there was one, idk what happened to it tho.
Why are you doing it? i think that the only good reason to learn the language is using it to speak/read/listen. If you dont like reading this site by itself, your interest would not last long.
I like Russian music, I also think that despite these difficult times Russians form cool fandoms and subcultures. So I think learning the languege is worth it
Your lit is literally world class, you share the top place with the french
Retard, russian literature is a true masterpiece, ranging from Dostoevsky's chthonic depths and the Strugatsky brothers' profound science fiction to the charismatic horror of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita and Valery Bryusov's The Fiery Angel. Start with Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy (a relative of Leo Tolstoy). His The Family of the Vourdalak is a short story of just 10 pages that will perfectly inspire you to explore Russian literature. After that, you can move on to more serious, philosophical, and heavy chthonic works.
Not OP but im on and off learning Russian because the level of discourse on ru net is far higher than anything in the English speaking web apart from ultra niche communities. It sounds silly when i write it like this, and I can't exactly pinpoint what happened to Western discourse, or whether it's something that will eventually find its way here, but it's the truth.
Language seemed difficult in the beginning, but that was mostly the alphabet. To me Russian feels much closer to Greek than English.
>I read stuff from here, translate it and take notes of words
What a miserable man lol
Russian language has some greek borrow words due to Greek being a for a long time a part of higher education, same as Latin. Not only that, but there also is a hefty chunk of words coming through Church Slavonic precursor of Russian, which has a big Greek influence too.
