There are actually “don’ts rules” if you are really considering the faster way to learn Russian language. Here are the details taken from the source Learn Russian Fast.

  • DON’T try to learn too much, too soon.

Words and phrases will, without doubt, get mixed up. When it comes to Russian language learning, forcing to learn beyond what you are capable of learning does not work. Instead, start with a few easy but all-purpose action phrases.

  • DON’T get bogged down trying to perfect your pronunciation.

The only thing that matters is that native speakers understand you, and that is true. You can spend years trying to “perfect” the pronunciation of a single word, whereas you should have spent that time adding new words to your working vocabulary. And besides, your pronunciation will improve as you have more and more contact with Russian speakers.

  • DON’T put all your eggs in one basket

This is what the author defines it. It figuratively means that you have to use a variety of courses and materials to find which method works best. This is extremely important because it can literally mean the difference between you becoming a speaker of Russian, or quitting altogether. Unfortunately, some of the “big name” courses do not teach Russian well, and are truly beneficial only to advanced students who already understand the complications of Russian grammar, and have a large working vocabulary.

  • DON’T get discouraged.

There will be times when Russian learning will become quite confusing. But there are clear, underlying principles in how all the bizarre grammar fits together. These rules will unfold clearly over time. Just do your best, and realize that native speakers will understand you regardless.

  • DON’T go in with unrealistic expectations.

You’re not going to become a Russian speaker overnight. Realistically, you can become conversational in a few months if you use the right course and study the right way.
