Reddit reviews Short Stories in Russian for Beginners (Teach Yourself Short Stories for Beginners-multiple Languages)

I got this book for Christmas (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1473683491/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile) which I’ve been working my way through. I’ve found it really useful !
It’s meant for CEFR A2/B1, but even for complete beginners it should give a good reference for how grammar is used

I have been enjoying that book, as well as the penguin course.

I also got ABBYY Lingvo (Android, paid), it's a great dictionary that has verb conjugations, noun declensions, and includes word stress.

But the most important thing is to practice. I'm a beginner, but I'd be up for practising (I'm on the US West coast if it matters).

i purchased this book and find it a very accessible and rewarding process of reading and learning :-)

it comes with recommendations on how to best approach the texts etc :)

I'm a big fan of Short Stories in Russian for Beginners too. The title is quite missleading, I think that it is more aimed at the pre-intermediate/intermediate crowd.

Also, there is a series from CTC called Как я стал русским. You can watch it on YouTube for free. It is a little difficult, but seems like a fun show.
