I hope you'll find / have found a positive outlook onto the future then  

Well, I've only just discovered it and tried only a few words, but it seems to work rather well. And if it doesn't catch a word... could just be my bad Russian

Thank you. I haven't quite found one yet, but I have definitely been searching.

Sounds good! Hopefully you will see the rate of recognition rise as you practice

Hi Caps, how are you doing?

Ready for tomorrow?

[DasCapschen 7,775]

423607

Yup.

I'm fine thanks. Now learning Russian with voice recognition.

And as I expected... it doesn't recognize when I try to do a word with the soft sign (look up palatalization)... that's really hard to do tho
palatalization is important tho as it can make the difference between брат (brother) and брать (to take)

Haven't had a word with ы* yet, but I'm almost certain I'll fail at that too...

*there's a sound example here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_central_unrounded_vowel

Had a little smile as a Kiwi (NZ) colleague was trying to use the Brain Training Game on my DS with the "say the colour not the word" game and it wouldn't recognise him say "black" as it sounded like "blik"

And my Чьё comes out as all kinds of variations like Чьо Чё etc, but never as Чьё
Screw you, palatalization

Sounds complex.

Children's TV show Go Jetters is using a reworked Status Quo Rockin' All Over The World for an advert and also AC/DCs Back In Black for a trailer c:

Hi Woona

Currently I'm mostly using Lingvist, but I have used both Duolingo and Memrise in the past
They all got their advantages and disadvantages.

With Lingvist you basically only learn individual words and forms of those words (plural, cases etc) by completing sentences, but they have awesome documentation on grammar etc as well

With Duolingo you either read or listen to a sentence then translate it by picking from a word list. I think they also have speaking excercises. Haven't used this the longest.

And Memrise is like a mix. You get individual words, you get phrases, sentences. You get reading and listening. Writing and speaking.
