      Yes, TH-cam put me on course for Hungarian a few years ago, now that I’m fairly fluent with it and Japanese, TH-cam wants me to learn either Russian or Korean. TH-cam is sadistic. I’m going to go down the Russian rabbit hole I think, just because I enjoy non-English European Broadway and I have stumbled on some great Russian productions (Tanz der Vampire especially).

      That is so, because Russian alphabet was made by Greek scholar)) Actually at the beginning Cyril (Constantine) and Methodius invented other alphabet, but it was too difficult to learn, so their followers made it more similar to Greek one. But because the first inventor was Cyril the alphabet was named Cyrillic

      @UCFY8jBFKBqE9hHoXsLA_3xA B and V have always been very similar, see taverna vs. taberna.
      The shift from V/F to B is the main distinction between Low and High German:
      to have (English) - haben (German)
      Wiev (Low German) - Weib (High German)
      blieven (Low German) - bleiben (High German)

      Yes, you are absolutely right, but do not forget about the letter 'B', please, it is from Greek ("Beta"), but when Cyrill & Methody created their Slavic Alphabets (Glagolitic and Cyrillic) in the Greek dialect of Byzantium, this letter was called "Vita" and then it matched the 'v' sound... Generally the 'b' and 'v' sounds are kind of similar, look at the letters 'B' and 'V' in Spanish, also look at the letter 'ב' ("Bet") in Hebrew, etc.

    I am a 50 year old mom and I just started learning Russian. This video was perfect for me. It is so informative and easy to watch. Thank you! It was also funny to watch you discribe some letters, that look so familiar to me, being a Greek, but so strange to English people. I think the letter you discribed as "a house" ( д ) often looks more like the Greek delta ( Δ ), which looks like a triangle, but in Russian it is flat on the top and has two "feet" :)

    • @gorod-kha
      @gorod-kha 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The Russian alphabet is directly derived from the Greek. And the original Cyrillic was more like the Greek alphabet than the modern one. Russian letters acquired their modern look after the reform of Peter the Great, when he ordered the so-called civil script from Western European masters. As a result, many letters, originally Greek, acquired a more Latin appearance. Documents, literature, etc. began to be written in civil script, and the original Cyrillic alphabet remained only in Orthodox church use.
      As for the letter "Д", similar to "Δ", then the letter "Л" is often drawn with a sharp top (like Greek "Λ"). Within the same font, these letters are drawn in the same style: either both with a flat top, or both with a sharp top.

      You won't find it on the web version, but the Duolingo app does have the Cyrillic alphabet listed in a table with phonetic examples. Some of the English transcriptions are different from what is presented here such as 'И' is shown as an 'i' in the app, but sounds the same as described here and 'Щ' is shown as a 'shsh' in the app, though I would say 'shch' is probably more accurate.

    When it comes to Ш and Щ.
    Щ is in such words like "sheep", "she", "shield", "sure".
    And Ш is in "shell", "distinguish", "vanish", "rush" etc.
    Try to say "rush" and then "sheep" - you'll hear the difference and feel that the position of the tongue is different.
    So English really has both Ш and Щ but as they are not distinguished in writing people think that's all one sound, when there are actually two! And you already can pronounce them both!

      @@tolvvy God, your questions are very hard to answer, but I will try. Regarding you hearing ё, you are absolutely right - most russians just ignore the double dots and just right is as е. You just know it is pronounced ё from the word itself. Й, as he said, is pretty much the y sound in english. However, there is confusion that even I, a native, cannot understand as to whether you use й and then a vowel, or just the y form of a vowel instead. (So for example, the word yogurt would be written йогурт. Why not ёгурт? I don't know. Yacht however, is written яхта, and not йахта. Why? Again, no clue) And regarding you hearing a in кто, man that is pretty much the Russian accents. Basically, Muscovites (people from Moscow) usually tend to say а instead of о in words, because of the dialect. So Молоко (milk) would be pronounced МАлАко. On the contrary, in the city of Novosibirk, the tend to pronounce all а sounds as о. So картошка (potato), they pronounce as кОртошка. So, the a/o is very dual in russian, My advice would be pronounce all a as a, and also pronouce all o as a, unless the o is at the end. Then it will 100% be pronounced as o, and not a.

      Try to say "rush" and then "sheep" - you'll hear the difference and feel that the position of the tongue is different.
      So English really has both Ш and Щ but as they are not distinguished in writing people think that's all one sound, when there are actually two! And you already can pronounce them both!

    My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign
    language and wants to realize their full potential!
