I was just poking around online, looking for some Russian language podcasts, when I remembered . I had checked out the podcast probably a year ago, but never really went anywhere with it. Now that I’m learning Russian, it’s nice to have remembered the site.
Natalia, the maker of the podcast, has added a few new things to her offerings, namely video lessons showing how to write the Russian (Cyrillic) letters in cursive. She hasn’t quite finished the entire alphabet just yet, but has a large amount of it completed. Here are links to the videos and the letters which each video contains:
The only letters which she needs to cover at this point are Ш, Щ, Ь, Ы, Ъ, Э, Ю, and Я.
There are also a lot of other handy resources at A Spoonful of Russian. There’s of Natalia going through the Russian alphabet (i.e., what the letters are called – the KGB is NOT pronounced “Kay Jee Bee”!) To make things simpler (and to save myself a bit of work), I’ll just point you to to get to the rest of the goodies. At that link, you’ll find dialogues from the podcasts, songs, lyrics, a cursive writing workbook that you can download… lots and lots of free goodies. As an added bonus, Natalia clearly knows how to record things well – all of the audio has excellent sound quality, with little to no background noise.
