According to the responses to my question about Is it appropriate on RLU to ask for tutorials in private beta we should create a community wiki post which contains a collection of tutorials, blogs and books about the Russian language.
First of all, there were two proposals how to design them (1st like here and 2nd like here). I personally tend to the 2nd layout.
Secondly, before we set up the community wiki we should collect at least a few sources to start with, so that the first version of that community wiki is already usable. A good start would also prevent the community wiki could founder.
Thus, I started collecting a few on-line resources which looks appropriate to me:
In English:
- http://masterrussian.com/
- http://learningrussian.net/ (incl. audio)
- http://www.russianlessons.net/ (incl. audio)
- http://www.elanguageschool.net/russian (incl. videos)
- http://www.russian-plus.com/ (incl. videos)
In Russian:
What is YOUR part now?
- Please provide more resources.
- If any of the already provided resources is too bad, feel free to remove it.
- If you disagree with choosing the 2nd layout (see above), then - um - start a discussion ;)
- Please comment if there is anything else missing in here yet?
Last but not least, I am not aware of there is already any moderator here (if yes, who is it) who is able to make the question community wiki from the beginning. (I know that a question becomes cw for different reasons, but if the activity is too rare then it may take a too long time until it becomes cw).
What is missing yet?
