I got this huge grin on my face when he mentioned his girlfriend… I’m here thinking about learning Russian because of my half-Russian girlfriend. It’s as good a reason as any!
Congrats to all who understand the signs of the times and have learned or are learning Russian. When you're done, tackle Chinese, you'll never regret it.
@@LearntheRussianLanguageЖивы бу́дем - не помрём. Кто не рискует, тот шампанское не пьёт. Time will tell and the proof of the pudding is in the eating 😀.
Unfortunately we are not in soviet era anymore. More and more young people in post-soviet states like azerbaijan can't speak russian anymore. Russian was even spoken by many Chinese in soviet times due to Russias dominant economic role which is now also gone. For like almost 10 years Russian isn't taught in many school in Ukraine anymore. Instead the students should focus more on English. It kind of remind me of the baltic states where russian isn't also taught anymore. I don't think Russian will gain much more popularity as in soviet times but I also don't think it will lose much more popularity.
Russian is a language that, when you see its writing system, it can be intimidating, but once you hear a conversation or a story in it, whether on TH-cam or anywhere else, and you listen to its sound, it becomes a contagious language. It's a language that captivates you, that once you try it, you become addicted to it because it envelops you and enchants you. In other words, you become completely infatuated with the language. Personally, I liked Russian and after hearing it several times, its fun and sexy voice made me fall in love with it, to the point that I started studying several languages including Chinese, Portuguese, English, French, Italian, and German. But out of all those seven languages, Russian is the one that has fascinated me the most. I'm attached to it and can't separate myself from it.
This is exactly how I feel about it (I’m learning Russian now - or trying to … at my age new knowledge doesn’t come easily). I was fascinated with it as a kid growing up during the Cold War, but really fell in love with the language from Russian metal and rock bands I listened to.
Спасибо братан, я родился в Минске но я переехал в Чикаго когда мне было восемь. Я щас начинаю потерять мою речь сложно когда ты разговаривал целый жизнь но никогда никогда не был в школе там. It’s so nice to see all of you so interested in our native language my I spent a lot of time growing up in Ukraine, and let me tell you that Ukrainian is even better somehow although most Russians will tell you, it’s like a redneck language “ деревянный язык”
Hi man, this is an awesome story. I have just started learning Russian after having been interested in the culture for a few years. Im listening to podcasts, netflix, and youtube at the moment- and putting key words and phrases into flashcards. Awesome to hear from someone who took a similar approach, hopefully I can reach your level one day😄
Thanks for your comment! Your approach sounds indeed a lot like mine. Are you regularly practicing conversations with a native speaker (either real life or on online platform)? That's the only thing I'd add to your routine.
Too bad video games in Russian are virtually non-existent, I have counterstrike but my ping on Russian servers is unplayable, and I can't understand anything they're saying cause of the audio quality.
I got interested in Russian when I was in high school, a cute Russian girl who could speak English and Spanish. We dated for 6 months, we broke up but my interest for the language and the Russian culture remained. ❤
I am learning Russian too, while travelling through Asia. I love to visit the places with many Russians. Bali, Sri Lanka, Nha-Trang, Phuket. I met many cute Russian girls last two years.
thank you so much for your tips, i speak russian terribly but my situation is kind of different from most people I believe because I am a circassian who wants to repatriate to his own country, which is in russian federation. So in order to accomplish this dream of mine i MUST speak Russian language, it is just mandatory. I don't know how long it will take me because I also doubt my own language geeky skills a lot but your channel helps out big time. Very much appreciated)
@@Edgenucleartrash42hello, currently I am in Russia, and been here already for 4 months. Being inside the country and using the language in daily life undoubtedly accelerated the process for me, but I still wouldnt consider myself a proficient speaker. I never dropped studying and using the language, and right now I would say I am somewhere around B2 in the CEFR chart.
Loved the story Ari! Reminds me of the interview we did together. You are one of the few people I can look to to draw inspiration from with learning Russian. PS: I saw you on Steve's channel, super cool! The guy is my hero! haha
Thanks Mark! Yeah we discussed our stories on your interview, that's true. I honestly can't fathom how he managed to learn so many languages haha. And the fact that he started Russian while he was 60 is also a great inspiration. I do prefer the approach of learning one language super well instead of getting upper beginner/intermediate in many, but you can't deny how much effort it took Steve to get to a conversational level in all his languages.
That's a nice story Ari! God guided you all along! I loved how you met your girlfriend, and was hoping that you two were still together. So I was really happy when you said that noise was her hair dryer and you're together :) May God bless you always!
I am not agree that being a polyglot with little basis (B1) instead of having just one language with a very high level (C1) suck Depending on your strategy I remember spending lot of time learning german, which is a hard language, but on the other hand learning spanish, portugues, italian, etc... I also started russian 2 years ago. It was a great decision to start other languages on the side. Because you see yourself improving everyday instead of dying on one "super hard language". Right now, it's true that it took me more time to master any of them (I am still in the learning process) but I am more happy to say that I speak French (native), english (C1), german (B2), spanish (C1), portugues (B1), russian (B1), italian (B1) which is 7 languages Than just French, english and german on a high level (C1) which is only 3

Wow, we basically have similar ideas, it's been 1 year since i began russian, now i play games in Russian, podcasts,music and movies, the problem is just finding good sources of Russian media
Speaking in English, the Dutchman who already learned Dutch and English says to us. I was never good with languages. 😒 There is only one language in all of Australia.
You’re right. He got lucky, and since you didn’t, you’ll probably never speak another language… might as well just give up now! Hopefully that irked you a bit. The point is you can always give reasons why you CAN’T do something, but with consistency and patience I promise you it’s possible :)
Do this to get to the point of this video FAST! skip to the last 10 seconds. He says, "Record yourself speaking russian". That's the whole tip. The rest of the story is how it took 2 years of practice to get to the fast learning
I started learning russian because of likee I used to follow russian people on there and I thought the language was very beautiful and the letters were interesting
As a German who is listening to your video, when you say Dutch it always sounds as if you were saying Deutsch (German) to me, which is funny. 🤣 Thank you for sharing your journey!
hey brother, loved the story! could you please provide some shows / podcasts to check out? i have no idea where to start searching for these things. I found the Keanu Reeves movie "Siberia" that has a fair amount of Russian in it, and the later seasons of Stranger Things has a good amount of Russian, but I cant seem to find any shows that have a lot of Russian. something that is like 70% Russian with some English would be perfect for me! I really enjoy having breaks from the subtitles it helps a lot with things not being overwhelming, though honestly I will take any and all suggestions. also for podcasts, I'm quite interested in a lot of stuff so I'm not too picky, just some to start out with would be super cool!
You are such a great inspiration! Just a question, when u say u listened to podcasts did u learn from it, even tho u didnt understand everything? Or did already understand much when u stared listening to russian podcasts? Im learning for 6 months now and i only understand about 50% of podcasts, does it make sene to listen anyway or are podcasts and series without subtiles more something for advanced learners? Thx, sorry for the long question :)
When I say podcasts I mainly mean audiolessons like the 'language learning' ones from Russianpod101, Michel Thomas Russian and similar. Only later I could start to listen to real podcasts. If you're learning for only 6 months, and you can already understand 50%, you're doing great!
Я учу русский язык. Я начал изучать типа 2 года назад, я взял перерыв в учебе на 1 год. в начале этом году шесть месяцев назад я начал изучать снова потому что моя подруга сказала что она хочет выучить русский язык, она спросила если я также хочу выучить русский. Я сказал "почему бы и нет". Скоро буду учить русский язык в школе наконец-то) У меня нет причины говорить на этом языке... ну может быть когда-то я узнаю. В моей школе много людей которые говорят на русском, хочу с ними общаться. Но до сих пор мне надо учить больше чтобы разговаривать без ошибок. Все которые учат русский язык, удачи вам. Этот язык же сложный и не такой как все.
so everything I need to learn Russian is to find a cute Russian girl? that seems very hard I can't even talk to native girls of my country imagine to ones that speaks Russian
In conclusion tips on how you learn Russian as fast as you did, was because you recorded yourself and listen to the recordings. And then a brief summary of what motivated you was because you met a girl who was Russian, and this motivated you having a purpose and learning the language, and traveling to Russia. I enjoyed your story and it gave me more insight on how European grow up and their life as well as their young adult stages. And this is referring to opportunity to travel to so many countries with so many cultures and languages as frequently as are needed.
Hey man, mad respect to you. You've got a great level it seems but what is your actual level? B2 or C1? It seems I have B1 level (struggling to speak at that level I think), and I'm trying to compare to others.
Мне нравится(тут проверить можно задав вопрос к слову видео что делает? нравился отвечает на вопрос что делал т.е прошедшее время ) твоё видео. Ты мне дал мотивации* чтобы продолжать мои изучение русскому языку.
did you ever study grammar or did it just come naturally? Idk whether or not i should study grammar in the beginning or just focus on building vocabulary
I started learning Russian 3 months ago. My native language is Afrikaans - which you should know is basically 90% Dutch 😂 Also statted dating a Russian woman about 6 months ago which sparked my interest. I am doing the RedKalinka course online which is really helpful in terms of grammar and sentence construction. I have a very good memory when it comes to languages and words, but for some reason I struggle quite a lot sometimes to speak it. Reading and writing for me is much easier ! And also it's really difficult to understand Native speakers because they speak REALLY fast 😂 but I know with more practice I should get better at speaking and understanding Native speakers. Thanks dor the inspiring video ! It shows that anyone can learn something if they really want to.
First of all, congrats, man! As a native russian, I can only imagine how hard it was for a foreigner. Second of all... your girlfriend aside, has knowing russian been any of use to you? Third, do you regret learning it? I know russian is amongst one of the hardest languages so it might've took A LOT of time combined... and with the current political situation, there's a clear negative association with the language itself. Fourth, lately, I've been seeing more and more foreigners learning russian. I'm both amused and confused by this discovery. Maybe it's just a confirmation bias or personalized youtube recommendations, but from my perspective, it makes no sense.. and yet, here you are. I can't imagine why would I learn russian nowadays (if I wasn't speaking it already). And last but not least... damn, you have beautiful eyes! I was so mesmerized that it was hard to focus. Probably, you've heard it a thousand times already, but one more wouldn't hurt. 🤷🏻♂
It’s funny because I decided to learn Russian on my own as an American purely out of intrigue and then met my Russian girlfriend through learning Russian 😅
that "усовершенствовать" was batter than native speaker good :) this word is hard to pronounce :) btw small tip it was probably "нУ ты блин козел". it's constant phrase "ну ты блин [any swear word]" to make a joke in conversation between friends.
i found your story very interesting but why didn't u complete it, did u guys get married or what hahahaha im sure many people are curious about that now...
You make many mistakes… нУ ты козел, а не нО… and then in the beginning when you say: говорить о чем-то… мы так не говорим… We say something like: поговорим о чем-то… или предлагаю обсудить… so, you are not fluent in Russian…

Did you say that you spent 5200 hours initially...?

So in a nutshell: Find a cute Russian girl
но в принципе, если ты хочешь свободно говорить по-русски, найди себе подругу/парень, навести ее/его родителей и выучи такие слова, как самогон хаха
Хаха в приципе так и было))
Так похож на Курта Кабеина 😅

Useless language
It's not useless? I see pure racism here
You make many mistakes… нУ ты козел, а не нО… and then in the beginning when you say: говорить о чем-то… мы так не говорим… We say something like: поговорим о чем-то… или предлагаю обсудить… so, you are not fluent in Russian…
"fluent" does not mean "perfect"
@@vffncl0 fluent is better than perfect, educate yourself:
fluent
/ˈfluːənt/
adjective
1.
able to express oneself easily and articulately.
"a fluent speaker and writer on technical subjects"
@@sirgaythecatch7208 Your quote proves I'm right. Best of luck on your English learning journey!
@@vffncl0 it’s not a quote, it’s a dictionary entry for “fluent”… educate yourself!
@@sirgaythecatch7208 Sorry to hear you don't know what a "quote" is.
TLDW...
Total waste video
You need alphabets first
