One of those ways was learning through music. When you hear a song you like, you can listen to it over and over again; at a certain point you start singing along; then before you know it you are ready to give it a go on your own. One of the most important things in this exercise is having the lyrics of the desired song. Fortunately, in this day and age lyrics are somewhat easy to find on the internet. With that in mind I decided to share some of my favorite songs with you and also give you some tips on how to look for Russian songs with lyrics on YouTube. I am not very big on Russian pop, so you will have to forgive me for lack of Russian pop references :-). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-family: Andalus\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">For example, here is what I put in to find one of my favorite songs (granted, I knew the name of the singer and the title <span lang=\"en-US\">but bear with me<\/span>): <span style=\"color: #336633\"><span lang=\"ru-RU\"><b>\u041d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0439 \u041d\u043e\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0432 \u044d\u0442\u043e \u0437\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e \u0442\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0442<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u041d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0439 \u041d\u043e\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0432 &quot;\u042d\u0442\u043e \u0437\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DSbKCdR4UaA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-family: Andalus\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">Here is another one of my favorites (no lyrics though) but this independent video was shot years later by a student just because she wanted too \ud83d\ude42<span lang=\"ru-RU\">.<\/span> <span style=\"color: #336633\"><span lang=\"ru-RU\"><b>\u0413\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043f\u0430 \u0421\u0435\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0442 \u041f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0435\u0442<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u041c\u0443\u0437\u044b\u043a\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u043a\u043b\u0438\u043f &quot;\u041f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0435\u0442&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t15o_kEse94?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-family: Andalus\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">OK, maybe I will include one pop song, I do like it \ud83d\ude42 This one is a remake of <span style=\"color: #336633\"><span lang=\"ru-RU\"><b>\u0410\u043b\u043b\u0430 \u041f\u0443\u0433\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0432\u0430 <\/b><\/span><\/span>song which originally came out in 1978.
