Read and Write Russian Cursive for Adults (video, pdf, worksheets)
Most Russians do not use block letters when writing by hand. You must learn to read and write a script. Because all of you will meet the situation when at some websites, journals or newspapers you will need the text written with typed cursive. And you need to be able to recognize it. Because sometimes it can be really confusing. Some letters look like English ones, for example, Russian Т - looks like English M in cursive. So you can read it wrong if you don't know how to read it. Also for those people who would like to increase their speed of writing, I recommend learning how to write in Russian with cursive letters because it really will help you to save time. But I know that some people just do not write at all. They use just tablets, computers, cell phones and then for you it's not necessary but at least you need to be able to read in Russian!

One of the best courses for learning Russian for foreign students. There is an audio application. There are a lot of spellings, it helps very well to master the alphabet, reading rules, pronounce sounds correctly (professional voice acting). Exercises can be done right in the textbook. The grammar is explained in accessible language. There are a lot of different useful tables.
A basic understanding of how Russian cases function
One thing that has helped me personally is understanding that Russian is a very systematic, almost mathematical language with its own internal logic.
The cases are there to help you understand how each word functions in a sentence. The imperfective/perfective verbs are there to help you understand the relation verbs have with their consequent actions within a specific time frame. The verbs of motion are there to help you come to grips with how you navigate across space.
Which is why I am often unimpressed by many people complaining about how Russian is a horrific language with horrific grammar and whatnot. I think Russian can be a very easy language as long as you understand that the grammar is there to help, not hinder.
Remember, the grammar is there to help, not hinder.
The perfect Russian verbs refer to those actions that are complete, or of a single nature. For example- 'I wrote a letter (on completion)' is a perfect action, while 'I wrote a letter' is an imperfect action, because it does not denote completing the action.
This page lists the most important perfect verbs. The table describes the phonetics, as well as the required conjugation pattern (This is indicated by the number 1 or 2). Remember that perfect verbs can not be used in the present.
