    At university they taught me that 'перед тем как' means 'immediately before' while 'до того как' can be used to indicate a longer period of time before the action! I didn't know that 'прежде тем как' indicates something done intentionally, I only knew it was more used in the written language than in the spoken one !
    Anyway, thank you so much for the video, as always really useful :))

      I never thought my native tongue has that many things to remember!
      The remedies are: theory + drills + a lot of reading + a lot of listening + writing letters, comments, essays etc.
      all the 5 things together and none of them neglected! (Just my experience in learning English and Italian)

      @@isaacsechslingloff9894 'до того как' sounds more immediate to me than 'перед тем как' when I imagine them used in sentences, but I'd never thought about the differences before! I think of 'перед' as something you have to have perspective on...as in standing back and looking at two events in relation to one another (over more time than just that immediate moment).
      But I'm guessing and haven't lived in Russia in a long time.

    I'm not fluent in russian and nothing even close to that I still struggle a lot trying to find the right prefix/sufix to the words but the strange thing is after watching a lot of videos with russian audio like movies and series some words just pop up in my mind with the right prefix or sufix and it's becoming easier to find/guess the right prefix/sufix because after a while the words just doesn't sound right, it's like saying "Я любю ты" insted of тебя I wonder how and when that happens to our brains...

      Russian is not English where most words are just bare roots, or the perfectly systemized Italian. The diversity of word forms, the number of words and phraseology of contextual and intuitive use in Russian could drive a foreigner mad if he hopes to learn much of Russian mostly by memorizing rules.
      Focus on basic vocabulary. Read a lot, listen a lot, watch subtitled videos, make and memorize your notes. Memorize entire phrases and frequent word combinations. Write comments, letters etc.
      You'll be surprised how many things will become clear and/or just recorded in your brain automatically.

      Third. I believe it crazy that someone wants to learn Italian (зачем?), but at the same time I'm happy. I guess it's a common feeling among native speaker of languages not really widely spoken.

Ci sono bei libri scritti in italiano che ho avuto la fortuna di leggere (ne ho letti pochissimi purtroppo), ci sono canali TH-cam di bloger italiani interessanti da seguire.

    One of the biggest problems for anglophones is that the only time they would see before (перед) would be in "Lord of the rings" type of dialog. In other Germanic languages, before (перед) is used often (auf Deutsch, vor).
    If anglophones want to truly progress, they need to remember that the language has changed many from many sources. If we think closer to how middle English was used, mastery of many Indo-european languages will follow.
    Большое спасибо, Федор. You're always awesome, brother.

      Sometimes it seems to me like the English language has taken a different path in its development, compared to other Germanic languages. It is evident, for example, in the English-speakers way of saying "I didn't say that" instead of saying "Ich sagte das nicht" or "Jag sade det inte", as in Swedish. Or as a "Lord of the Rings-dialouge", saying "What say you?" sounds strange to an English-speaker, but is the natural structure for German- and Swedish-speakers. "Was sagt ihr?" "Vad säger ni?"
      Excuse me, but my knowledge encompasses such a fractional part of linguistic terminology, that I am unable to express myself in more suitable terms.

    In my opinion the confusion lies in the use of the english preposition "till" which you do not mention in the video. "Till" is not the same that "before". For example:
    I ate before I leave for work. Well, may be you ate at 11 and leave for work at 13.
    I ate till I leave for work. In this case the activity of eating continues till the moment of leaving, so it is different this phrase and the previous one.
    I always thought that "do" means "till" and "prezhde" before, without taking into account intentionality. Now I am more confuse.

    To my understandings, it is a bit like that...до того как translates the English word 'until' a little bit more smoothly and spontaneously than перед тем как. When saying 'we shall drink until it's dark', I would personally prefer using of до того как ; whereas saying 'we shall finish our drinking before dark', the перед тем как is used... It seems to me like that до provides до того как some sort of implied negativity in semantics, which puts a nuance of the meaning of 'stop doing something' into the sentence...maybe?

  • @123eee

    Interesting - and English is simplified, yes, but I'd say we do similar things in different ways. Take your example about the traffic jam before work.
    "Before I arrived I got in a traffic jam" sounds *very* intentional in comparison to what a native speaker would likely use "I got stuck in a traffic jam on my way to work". Same goes for other languages that don't have variations of the word 'before', such as Spanish, where you wouldn't say "antes de", but again you would probably say "me cogió un atasco de camino al trabajo" (a traffic jam "got me" on my way to work").
    ...I dread to think how many other forms of speaking about the past will come up when learning Russian in the contexts of: previously, beforehand, earlier, sooner, historically, etc.
