Many Russian idioms are very fun, but do not at all translate directly into English, and can therefore be hard to learn how to use. With \u041e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u044c \u043f\u043e-\u0440\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438<\/a> (Very much Russian), you can hear them used and explained with everyday examples by a native speaker.<\/p>\n

You can also find Russian jokes and an article about how to navigate Russian humor, along with dictionaries and sources to learn the alphabet!<\/p>\n
