Don't even bother if you don't need it, don't. These are two of the hardest languages to learn and there is no actual return of investment.
I think watching YouTube videos would however help at first.
which language is an investment when you don't need it?
I mean needing it for work or because of moving.
Languages like English (as a second language) are usually learned because they enable you to connect more, its however no necessary thing where you live. English opens up about half the internet for you, Spanish another 30% (not actual numbers) and they aren't hard to learn.
Russian however is not spoken outside of Russia and many Russians (especially Internet Russians do speak English)
TLDR
English is a Low investment high return language
Russian is very high investment low return.
That's not how it works.
People who can translate between English and Russian have more opportunities because their in such few numbers.
People who can translate between Spanish and English are a dime a dozen, which is why most people who speak both languages end up working service jobs.
