Learning Russian is important if you think your love lives in Russia or you want to move to this country. Regardless of your motive, be prepared to spend hours studying and grammar.
2. Learn the grammar correctly:
Yes, although it sounds boring, you must learn Russian grammar, if you are not sure how to start you can learn with your JustLearn online teachers to guide you in this learning which will offer you different ways of understanding. You just have to find the one that suits you best.
3. Start with basic words
Try to start by learning basic phrases and words to begin to understand the Russian language. All languages have the basic vocabulary, try to find an exercise book that contains this vocabulary to get familiar with the language and learn it quickly and clearly. You have to focus on quality and not quantity, it is better to learn 20 words well-spoken than to wander between 1,000 words and not know what it means.
4. Try courses or phone apps:

6. Make Russian friends

7. Talk to strangers on trains or public transportation
If you have the opportunity to travel to Russia at some point do not miss the opportunity to meet people and try to speak with strangers to improve your level in Russian, at some point during your trip you will have to talk with strangers on public transport, shops or on the street to ask for an address so get used to that idea and don't be shy. Go out to meet local people, you should not be ashamed, you must make mistakes to correct them, so you will learn and grow more in this process.
