I started learning today following ppl's advice on my phone addiction and memorized the alphabets and pronunciation. I've been thinking about learning Russian for some time, but I only started today. If you're a native speaker or an advanced learner of the language, can you give me some tips or advices?

Not a native speaker, but i would try the alphabet then put subtitles on movies or TV.
Try ordering things in Russian, you will keep learning something new everyday.

Thats a difficult language to learn

The movie route definitely helps with some conversational stuff when you get there.....Soviet Vinnie-Poo is damn hilarious and good for learning.

Try translating short books or short stories a few paragraphs or one page at a time. Small things like  "Queen of Spades" or "The Shot" by Pushkin or "The Nose" by Gogol.
Then try reading the thing out loud until you don't have a heavy accent.

Prsioner of The Mountains is a kids book and a actually decent Movie in Russian, heart of a Dog was meant for the illiterate proletariat to make fun of the New Econoic Policy so its written simply, And heart of a dog is like a 2000's movie made to look like the 1930's when it was penned (Bulgakov is the best author Stalin could not censor....kinda)

Russian isn't a difficult language to learn

VK was cool (russian social media) but ever since Ukraine got invaded......never logged back in.

If you have Prime they have  "Diamond Arm" "Briliantov ruka" or " Бриллиантовая рука " 
Great Soviet comedy
