Talk:Russian/Lesson 1

Untitled
Not sure if anyone's even working on this, but I think it would be really helpful in the first couple section to have Romanized versions of the phrases alongside the Cyrillic ones. It's pretty daunting to look at "hello" and see nine or ten letters that don't make any sense. The Romanization could be phased out as you go through the lessons, but at least at the start I think it'd be a helpful addition. --82.239.166.112 (talk) 00:41, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, and it might even be best for the first lesson to go over the very basics of Russian (the alphabet, no articles, omission of 'to be' (быть), maybe some basic words and phrases) in a way geared towards newcomers - not everyone is going to stick around if they have to puzzle things out for themselves. Learning the alphabet by starting with words similar to English (e.g., кот) might be the best start to the lessons.

Word stress?
Stress is a big part of speech in Russian. It is of even more important for beginners. Is it possible for someone to include the stress mark on every word? Jamesjiao (discuss • contribs) 20:21, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
