100+ Conversational Words and Phrases in Russian

Do you want to learn Russian? You’re in the right place.

Perhaps, if you were like me when I first started learning the language, you’re finding yourself struggling to find resources that help you start speaking.

Many of the tools that I found when I started learning Russian were grammar-heavy textbook style resources and they didn’t offer me a lot in terms of day-to-day conversation. Rather than learning how to say “what did you do last weekend?” I had memorized a bunch of rules involving cases or sentence structure. I spent loads of time studying but I was nowhere near conversing with my fellow Russian speakers.


So I decided to put something together on my own so that I could feel more confident engaging in language exchanges.

And today, I’d like to share it with you.

In this post you’ll find a short selection of the 100+ conversational phrases and words in Russian I have available as part of a downloadable PDF that you can get by entering your email in the box below.
