What members practise here
Russian looks harder at the start than it is: learning the Cyrillic alphabet takes days or weeks of practice rather than months, and some letters are old friends (к, м, т, а, о). The real work comes after. Russian has six cases, so a noun changes its ending with its job in the sentence: Москва is Moscow, в Москве is in Moscow and из Москвы is from Moscow. Members ask about endings, post sentences to check, and help each other learn which case follows which preposition.
Verbs bring aspect: most come in pairs, an imperfective for an action in progress or repeated (читать) and a perfective for one that is completed (прочитать). Stress moves in ways the spelling does not show, and it changes the vowels: an unstressed о sounds close to a, so молоко (milk) comes out roughly as malakó. Native speakers and learners make sense of it together, one sentence at a time.

Who it is good for
Learners at every level, from people still learning the alphabet to advanced speakers who want to talk about anything. Heritage speakers who understand more than they can say are welcome too. Native Russian speakers are especially welcome, and speakers of other languages written in Cyrillic often explain the shared letters best.
How it works on TalkSibi
Post in Russian, in Latin letters if you cannot type Cyrillic yet, or with an English line underneath, and members correct gently. In a one-to-one chat you can turn on Latin letters from the chat menu, which writes a Latin version under every Cyrillic message so you can sound it out while you learn to read. When you want to speak, call a member, with live captions to take the edge off fast Russian, or drop into a Russian voice party when one is running.
