I'm trying to learn russian...

[Minwell]

And I need advices how to learn effictevly. I've already known alphabet and I can read some texts, but still I have difficulties with a phoenetic and an accent. What should I take into account the most during learing? Mainly I learn by listening and reading so i'm thinking is there any sense to get know grammatic on the beginning or should I rather focus only getting used to the languege.

and then you will turn a "russophobe"

Why?

[Jaromir]

Why?

there is an old russian saying: чем меньше знаешь, тем дольше живешь / the less you know, the better

Outside of politics Russians are a good people, focus on that. Culture. There's more than your difficult shared geopolitical history.

Concerning phonetics, my lazy way is listening to audiobooks and singing.

I've got some links for learning Russian as a foreign language:

And if you hate to memorize two totally different keyboard layouts, like I do,
it's possible to adjust Russian Cyrillic layout to yours. In Linux, the support
is native. For Windows:

It's:
"the less you know, the better you sleep"

You Russophobe.

It's easier to watch the same serial as it would have the same vocabulary every day. One and not so distant day you know it all.
