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). --- What is missing yet? * Dictionaries * Russian-Russian (definition, incl. pronunciation/IPA) * Russian-English (definition) * Russian-English (translation) * regional words (Ukraine, Belarus, ...) (like American, British, Australian English) (example [American English dictionary][5]) * Etymology * idioms * Slang * Books * for beginner, intermediate and professionals * on-line versions, e-books * other on-line resources (wikipedia, wiktionary) [1]: https://russian.meta.stackexchange.com/q/60/109 [2]: http://stackoverflow.com/q/388242 [3]: http://chinese.stackexchange.com/q/1120 [4]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/11741 [5]: http://oaadonline.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/
