According to the responses to my question about [Is it appropriate on RLU to ask for tutorials in private beta][1] 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][2] and [2nd like here][3]). 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:

* http://www.learnrussianweb.com/  (blog)

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][4], but if the activity is too rare then it may take a too long time until it becomes cw).

Does someone know a dictionary where the words are explained in English words (no translation dictionary, just definition)? It would be a very interesting resource for beginners.
