I want to learn how to pronounce Russian words. After I learn the alphabet I am going to move onto the list of the 300 most popular words in Russian but I am just confused on how I would know what way to pronounce it and where would I even find out how?
Here you go
Thank you 🙏

This is maybe the only valid use for something like Duolingo: to learn basic pronunciation and beginner vocab. You can get that far with the free trier as well.
Learning the Cyrillic alphabet and the weird vowel sounds like ы doesn’t take that long and then Russian is actually pretty straight forward in terms of pronunciation. It’s very regular.
No pronunciation abominations like trough, colonel, queue, subtle, gauge, yacht etc that you find in English.

These have all been helpful to me. Eventually you'll want group or private lessons, IMO. It's a beautiful, grammar-heavy language and can be quite challenging for native English speakers. It really helps to have an experienced guide
Open Russian.org is like the best site ever thank you so much
Thank you 😄😄
I use AI, asking to create words for anki(for flash cards) in certain format like;
word (how to pronounce) and on other side meaning + example sentence
for voicing idk i never tried.
Would you say it’s usually accurate. I was afraid to use ai because it gets answers wrong in English 😭 so I wasn’t really sure if it would ve good for using it in Russian
Don't use AI
Accuracy fluctuates... I've used deepseek quite a bit too and sometimes it has been useful but I wouldn't rely on it or trust it 100%. I've also seen it give some bad translations, especially if there is any slang or loan words or abbreviations...
One example I can remember, I asked to translate some text that included "чат ЖПТ" (meaning chatGPT) but it mistranslated ЖПТ as some other meaning and then forced the translation to try fit into context of the mistake it had made... so the result was way worse than if it just did a literal translation.
Once you have more vocabulary it can be nice practice chatting with it in Russian but if you're using it as a tutor it's possible that it might give bad advice (and it also tends to "glaze" you and give a false sense of progress etc)
I mostly use:
Russianforfree dot com - do the intro lessons and study/reference the grammar tables
YouTube, "be fluent in russian" - look for the A1 vocabulary word list.
I listen to the YouTube videos and write out my own flashcards on paper. Then just practice with those.
