Immersion, immersion, and\u2026 immersion is one of the best ways to master any language!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> The key challenges to in the matter are<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> 1. Using the right Russian words and<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> 2. Having at least some knowledge about Russian search engines and major content aggregators.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> Today I will give you some tips and links to make the task of finding the right type of Russian content more fruitful and enjoyable.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> USING THE RIGHT WORDS<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> Choosing the right search words\u00a0 can be challenging even in your own language. You should keep your query (words that go into the search bar) as short and as specific as possible.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> -Figure out what words you want to use in English.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> -Translate the words into Russian using Google Translate<\/a> (or another similar application).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> -Copy and paste the Russian words into your search bar.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> -Go over search results.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> Tip 1! <\/b><\/span>Do not try to use sentences if you do not know how to change the word endings properly. Using individual relevant words or several words might give you better results.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> Tip 2! <\/b><\/span>Do not use English letters to spell Russian words. You can always copy\/paste translated Russian text into your search bar if you don\u2019t have a Russian keyboard. You can also use an online keyboard, like this one<\/a>, to type exactly what you want using Russian letters.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> USING SEARCH ENGINES AND MAJOR CONTENT AGGREGATORS<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> Google has certainly done a lot of work in Russia. It is becoming more and more popular with the Russian population. With that said, I believe you can rely on google.ru<\/a> to perform an accurate search in Russian. I would not say the same about Bing, Yahoo or any other non-Russian search engine. If you are comfortable enough to perform a search through a native Russian engine, I would recommend using yandex.ru<\/a> or rambler.ru<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a> Content aggregators, particularly the ones with a lot of videos, like rutube.ru<\/a>, can be a great place to find all kinds of videos on a subject of your choosing. Russian \u201cFacebook\u201d, vkontakte.ru<\/a>, is also a great place to improve your Russian if you join a few interest groups and try to participate in the discussions. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
