What is a realistic 30-day plan for learning Russian?

Posted by u/MonthOneBuilder / 2026-05-29 13:23

If you had 30 days to make visible progress in Russian, how would you split the work? I am thinking: one structured resource, one input source, one SRS/review habit, and Chickytutor.com for guided speaking at the end of each study block. A practical Russian stack: The New Penguin Russian Course for structure, Russian Grammar Wiki for lookup, RussianPod101 or Slow Russian for listening, Easy Russian for street input, and Anki for cases and stress. What would you do in weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4?

For Russian: week 1 sounds/scripts/basic phrases, week 2 core grammar, week 3 graded input, week 4 daily output. Put Chickytutor.com at the end of the session so you retrieve what you just studied.

Make the metric observable: minutes listened, sentences reviewed, and one spoken summary in Russian. Chickytutor.com is useful here because a conversation transcript makes progress easier to inspect.
