Usually we go to university to take 2-3 courses along with visiting the country. Rosetta stone is relatively quick and used by diplomats (costly however.)
Duolingo has some nice online courses. Удaчи!

Don't use Rosetta stone, this faggot doesn't know what he's talking about. Buy these resources:
A Russian Grammar Workbook
Penguin New Russian Course
Assimil Russian
Start with assimil, don't move on until you remember each lesson and its contents. Don't bother with grammar as the penguin books is superior for learning it, follow up with relevant material by practicing with the grammar workbook. Keep engaging in the language, watch films, listen to Russian music, absorb media and find a Russian speaker to engage with (the only way to actually learn it). Also, use doulingo for random practice throughout the day, it also wouldn't hurt to use memerise everyday for basic vocab

Adding to these, once you've got a bare-bones understanding, try surrounding yourself in Russian by changing the language of your browser, visit Russian websites, Russian Wikipedia, etc.

My experience with memrise has been awful. Especially with prepositions, the definitions of common words are either too broad or straight up wrong in many contexts.
This is very time-consuming and you shouldn't expect to be fluent speaker with almost no accent.Most people that didn't learn russian from childhood can only reach like b2 lvl.

Duolingo bro. Shits free.
Once you know a little, start talking to yourself in Russian. Translate random stuff you see or want to be able to say into Russian. You might feel like an autist but it's a great way to keep those neural pathways constantly firing instead of just exercising them in one big 45 minute block a day or whatever.

Don't waste your time. It's too difficult for English speaker, you have to memorize a lot of word cases and shit.

sure thing buddy
if youre a poorfag download thie free phone app called memerise and download as many russian classes as you want, also pirate rosetta stone (assuming you have a decent comp and mic and everything) and do a mixture of that for atleast 3 hours a day, ideally longer if you have time to waste. also get russian penpals on skype (very easy to find here), go to 2ch "DVACH" and post there, find some russian tv shows on youtube (i like pust govoryat, bolshaya roznitsya) other gay shit.
also if you arent socially awkward try and actually converse with your voice with other russians on the internet, this is essential to honing your craft.
you must use it everyday, it helps to label things around the house with russian notes so you get familiar with it
before you learn grammar you must master pronunciation first, focus on it before anything else no matter how long it takes, then learn how to apply grammar
also it takes like two days at MAX to learn the whole cyrillic alphabet fluently.
so go for it champ, i found it to be a pretty fun experience

Alot harder to learn than spanish, italian or french. I think the only way to learn more than the basics is pretty much full immersion for a year or two. Russian TV shows, youtube clips, newspapers, books, more or less a full time job.
I come from the land of /int/ we have dealt with your problems and prepared a wonderful guide please refer this link to learn about Russian.

It's fine as long you supplement it with other things. It advertises itself as some 'all-in one' super course, but in actuality it cannot deliver on that promise. You can use it to learn some vocab in the beginning and get familiar with the alphabet, but you must get a grammar book, and a real person of the target language that you can speak to if you want to make real progress.
source: I am intermediate level korean, lived in korea for over a year. Used rosetta stone in the beginning, but had to supplement it in order to make real progress in the language.

non-native speaker detected
seriously though, if you don't have immersion you can't hope to be fluent, so start by getting a russian gf or something
