Learning Russian (lemmygrad.ml)

Привет! I'm currently learning Russian as a native English speaker. I've only been at it for a few weeks but I feel like I've gotten some of the basics down.

Anyone who is more knowledgeable than me, how do I reliably learn which to use from ц, ч, с, щ, or ш?

Also when speaking long words 10+ characters or 4+ syllables long I feel myself triping over my tongue. Moreso than my previous experience with learning German but it has been over a decade since then.

Additionally, anyone else learning a second or third language and hows it going for you?

Thanks! I'll probably start looking for some films, there's one I already intended to watch (but not sure if the pacing would be conducive to learning).

I do have a small collection of Russian music which is slow enough for me to kind of learn, even if pronunciations are stretched a bit.

You just started, begin with reading children books, and watching nursery rhymes and kid shows, they use simpler language and their main purpose is teaching.
