In the ocean of online websites, I was looking for the best quality resources, either free or very low priced. And I also looked for online newspapers so I can practice reading. I even looked for online televisions just to get familiar with the sound (and speed) of standard Russian.
Online Translator
Lessons
- Busuu.com : I actually started with this one. It's fermium, meaning you get extra services if you pay but you can still use the service for free. I ran their language test and found my level to be B1 on the European Framework for Languages, that means I haven't forgotten the basics, not bad at all.
- Learn Russian RT.com : free, has video and sound, well designed, very promising...
- Language Metropolis : not open yet, a $59/year fee, will check it out when it's open.
