  Learn Conversational Russian Vol. 2 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Russian. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Russian from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. 
  In these lessons, you’ll be introduced to several “conversation connectors”. Phrases like “as a matter of fact”, “frankly speaking”, “as you already know” and more. By using such phrases, your conversations will have a more natural flow. You will also expand your vocabulary and talk about daily activities, work, plans, and needs. 
  Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: 
  Learn in short bursts every day. Each lesson takes about 10 minutes to complete. 
  Learn in context. Isolated words or random sentences won’t get you far. By learning phrases related to a specific topic or situation you will see much better results. 
  Focus on high-frequency words. Starting with the most frequently used words will boost your comprehension and communication in your target language. 
  Review the material. Repeating the phrases at certain specified intervals is a powerful technique to help your memory absorb and recall what you have learned. 
  Listen to native speakers. All the phrases are translated and spoken by native speakers.

  Gus Van Sant’s film and the ’90s cult of the alternative Gus Van Sant’s 1991 indie darling My Own Private Idaho perplexed and provoked, inspiring a new ethos for a new decade: being different was better than being good. Gentlemen of the Shade examines how the film was a coming-of-age for a generation of young people who would embrace the alternative and bring their outsider perspectives to sustainability, technology, gender constructs, and social responsibility. My Own Private Idaho ― fragmented and saturated with colour and dirt and a painfully beautiful masculinity ― also crept into popular media, and its influence can still be traced. R.E.M. Portlandia. Hipsterism. James Franco. Referencing the often-funny and sometimes-tragic cultural touchstones of the past 26 years, Gentlemen of the Shade sets the film as social bellwether for the many outsiders who were looking to join the right, or any, revolution.
