Russian listening speed
120-160 words a minute
Medium speed Russian
Real Russian at normal speed. This is real practice that helps you get better at the middle level.
Normal-speed Russian is 120 to 160 words a minute. This is how people really talk every day. At this speed, some sounds change and small words join together. It starts to sound like real Russian, not just single words. This is a big step for people in the middle of learning. Do not use subtitles at first. Just listen, then check the subtitles after. Videos about daily life, travel, and cooking are great for this. You already know many of the words, and you can see what is happening. This speed is also close to speaking tests like TORFL and TRKI at B1 and B2. So this practice also helps you get ready for the test.
