What’s the best book for learning Russian? Do you know of any website with short stories for children in Russian?

Also, how did you learn Russian, /lit/? Is Duolingo any good?

My parents are russian speaking immigrants from central asia, so i got the basics from them. But apart from that i just did a ton of courses at university, watched stuff in russian i am interested in on youtube and just read a lot and made flash cards for the words i didn't know.

Start with something easy, maybe something you have already read in english (definitely no tolstoy or dostoevsky). Most pre 1991 russian literature is availabe for free on the internet, when you proficient enough i would recommend stuff that was written after ww2, because i think it is easier to understand. Sergey Dovlatov or the Strugatsky Brother (If science fiction is your jam).

Also I personally think duolingo is okay, if you want to go to russia and learn how to order at a restaurant, but i always thought it was a waste of time. I think lingQ looks pretty interesting, i haven't tried it out that much.

There are no short-cuts, russian is a pretty difficult language that you just have to put some time and effort in.
