Whatever works best for everyone is fine with me. Probably the latter is best, we can just do multiple segments and combine them

We get on discord, I record it. It’s not gonna be amazing quality but it’ll probably be good enough. That’s roughly the game plan unless someone has a better idea.
can you record other people’s audio ok on Discord? when i record mine we get on discord to chat but everyone uses Audacity to record their own track and I edit them together.

I wouldn’t have too much to add, I went to a sort of Russian/USSR only school in New York for diplomats, but I only stayed through elementary grades (1-4) before going to an American middle school. I can recall those little notebooks, “тетрадку”, and the teachers being strict as fuck about spelling and penmanship, which sucked for me. I got my revenge though when by third grade I was correcting all of their English.
Hey, completely unrelated, do you know what the word is in for Russian for a “submission” or “entry” into a contest? I recently stumped my parents with this, they didn’t seem to understand what I was asking. Like in English we’d say, “this song is my submission to the contest”, is the Russian something like “эта песня моя заявка на конкурс”? заявка seems wrong to me, but idk.
заявка sounds fine to me, but more often than not you might say the word for what you are submitting, например проект, сочинение, произведение, и т.п.

How doable do you think learning Russian is for someone starting from scratch? I’m debating trying it out and did a couple lessons on Duolingo, but it seems super daunting. I know the alphabet fairly well now and Duolingo starts you out with words super similar to English, like pizza and metro so you feel a bit confident, but then when you realize that almost every word, like mother, father, man, etc. has zero to do w/English it gets scary. I’m used to using French knowledge to cheat w/Spanish and then Portuguese as they’re all quite similar, but Russian is a whole new ballgame.

Yes I know how it works. Don’t study Russian grammar, Russian grammar studies you. 
But yah, that vid is super helpful and gives me a much more achievable goal to aim for.

Boy his description of Russian grammar is nearly identical to Czech grammar.
TIme to not give a shit about grammar from now on! Sure I’ll speak like a child but I will be understood.
It’ll be a good start though understanding others is gonna be a whole ball game since they will speak with proper grammar.
With a country as vast as Russia it makes sence that all the gramme is local (dialect?) and some variations depending on what the local culture was.
Former Russian and Eastern Europe countries would be far easier to navigate by only learning common words that are used throughout the lands.
Unfortunately this is the route I took with English & writing and did not learn my gramme or nouns etc and is distingtive in my posts.
I’ve come a long way in 4 years, considering I couldn’t write or spell not long before that as evident on the old forum.
Glad I can give a little back
