Collection of Russian TV-series and movies with subtitles
If you are learning Russian language, you MUST watch Russian authentic materials like Russian movies, TV-series, TV-shows, cartoons, documentaries and others. It depends on your interests and goals but watching authentic materials is essential for Russian language learning.
Why? Well, even the best books will not help you learn real Russian language that you can hear in everyday life. Russian idioms, slang, derived words - this is what you won't find in ordinary books. In addition, you can significantly improve your pronunciation and listening skills. In brief, watching Russian authentic materials is paramount in Russian language learning. But where to find these Russian movies, TV-series and cartoons with subtitles? Let me help you with that!
I have made a thorough search and found tons of great authentic materials with Russian and English subtitles. You can find a full guide on free Russian authentic materials here.
