Learn some basic words at least, trust me. If you start listening to native material right away, you'll be frustrated.

How would it even be possible to learn a language simply by listening?
You could listen to the word яблоко 45,000 times a day, but unless you have some type of association then you'll never, ever know what it means. This seems like a huge waste of time. However, if you were determined to do things this way then I'd say the only imaginable way would be to watch movies. That way every time you saw someone grab an apple and say яблоко then you would eventually figure it out. That being said... it seems like a very slow and unsatisfying process.

You mean like say.. jabłko? We don't learn in a vacuum, we naturally use whatever associations we have, that's what this is about. I trained myself to understand Danish completely by listening. I understand spoken Spanish quite well too, never studied that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Danish is very close to Norwegian. Polish is quite close to Russian too. But you have
learned the alphabet, haven't you? It means you do not study the language only by listening. Edited by Марк on 03 September 2011 at 2:18pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you're not willing to tweak your plans a little, you're setting yourself up for failure.
Not understanding anything is NOT going to be fun. That's coming from someone who learned English mostly through listening. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I cheated a little, you caught me. I guess I'm just trying to find a method that is less well tested, more adventurous. You know how some people when they don't have a problem, they go around looking for one? Something like that I suppose. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think real learning Russian will be interesting to you.
