Idea #1: Listen to a lot of Музыка (music).
Check out the fun song Давай замутим by the two members of RASA. Repeat for as many hours as you can tolerate in a day.
I’m not sure if it works for or against you if you’re listening nonstop to Russian while you’re on a flight.
Pro AND Con: you won’t be able to get the song out of your head. I believe that’s called an earworm.
We could choose the spectacularly entertaining Vitas to obsess over instead.
I prefer to watch Vitas instead of listening to him, to be frank. But this has less to due with his voice and more to do with my admiration for his flamboyant clothing choices.
Ok, maybe only watch that video when you need a palate cleanser.
Idea #2: Learn the chorus of a песня (song).
Sample gems:
Уля – это ураган, полюбила дурака. Ой мама, o my god, o my god… o my god… Пуля – это ураган, полюбила дурака. Ой мама, o my god, o my god… o my god…
Julia, it’s (like) a hurricane. You fell in love with an idiot. OMG OMG OMG (Hit like by a) bullet (or a) hurricane. You fell in love with an idiot. OMG OMG OMG
and also:
Я пришёл дать эту песню Из мира грёз. Я пришел дать эту песню Из хрустальных слёз.
I came to bring this song / From the world of dreams. I came to bring this song / From the crystal tears.
Seems feasible, right?
