Fast speed Russian

Fast Russian is more than 160 words a minute. This is Russian at its fastest. Words change a lot, and word endings become hard to hear. People talk over each other and use words no book teaches. People do not slow down for you. This part is for students who already know a lot, and want to hear how Russian really sounds outside class. Reality shows, travel shows, and funny shows are great for this. People talk fast, laugh, and talk over each other. Watch it once to get the main idea. Then go back and listen again to the hard parts. Play a part again, make it slower, or write down what you hear. Even people who grew up speaking Russian guess some words when people talk fast.
