Russian Cartoons Based on European Stories with Subtitles

Let’s go back to childhood a bit. Cartoons are fun and informative to watch, especially for Russian language learners at the A2+ level and above.

Russians are very fond of cartoons from the Soviet period: they are colorful and bright, they are always interesting to watch for both children and adults. You have a great opportunity to watch these cartoons in Russian and compare them with cartoons in your native language. The characters’ speech is simple and legible, which is doubly useful for Russian language learners. You should be familiar with the plot, as the cartoons are based on the works of European authors.
