When learning Russian, it is useful to spend time listening to the
language. Unlike many other languages, the Russian language does not
have strict rules regarding which syllable in a word gets the accent.
Consequently, the Russian language student must learn this through
experience.
Fortunately, however, there are many Russian language
radio webcasts and
television broadcasts available over
the Internet that can help improve your Russian language skills.
You can even listen to international
Russian language broadcasts originating from the United States, Great
Britain and other nations.
