  • In this video you'll learn about how you make plurals when dealing with hard and soft consonants. You'll also learn about the 7-letter spelling rule which affects how you spell and pronounce plurals. College Russian teaches you Russian as if you were in a Russian classroom, with lots of examples and review. Ideal for students who are currently enrolled in a Russian class and would like a little extra help and practice. Happy learning!

    You are a very good teacher. It's unfortunate you didn't keep up with these lessons. You explain things expertly, naturally, and clearly.

    Two very clear videos relating to hardness and softness.

    6:12 A little correction here: it should be pronounced like се́мьйи (SEM-yee), otherwise it sounds like семи́ (the genetive of семь). The plural forms of семья are a bit tricky. The stress shifts to the first syllable in се́мьи, се́мьям, се́мьями, се́мьях, but in the genitive семе́й. This -ьи ending is normally said with an additional Й sound before the И.

    Cuando se aprende lo más básico en cualquier estudio, entonces, todo lo posterior deja de ser complicado y se resuelve más facilmente. Muy buena clase. Muchas gracias!!!

    There is nothing intrinsically hard about learning cases. What seemed difficult to me at first was that it wasn't English and didn't follow the same rules(how's that for elitism?). I got over myself and got busy learning the words and conjugations I need to learn to do my Art of Speaking Russian to the best of my ability-- which is considerable because I put in the time and effort required of a native English speaker.

    Holy Shit! I want to speak Russian like you!

  • @carpenoctem4428

    No matter how hard I try, I still seem to struggle terribly with genitive anything. I don't understand the concept of genitive meaning and I certainly can't get my head around how to apply it in a language I barely know.
    Does anyone have some tips for how I can understand this better or at least links to other helpful resources?
    It would be greatly appreciated :)

    Nice. But it's very interesting HOW did you learn to pronounce soft consonants. My students can't do that. Maybe you have some tongue twisters for English speakers?

    • @howjaneylearned
      @howjaneylearned  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Some of the things that helped me most came from a Russian phonetics and phonology class that I had in college. We looked at diagrams of the placement of the tongue, practice hearing the difference first and then recorded ourselves, using PRAAT to see how our pronunciation compared to a native. Also, I have a rather musical ear and can imitate accents quite easily. But I don't think students benefit from the visuals of it.
      I've taught this phonetics and phonology class and could send you my powerpoint on it, if you'd like. It has some visuals in it.

      "musical ear" I understand what you mean by that, I'm a polyglot and I can distinguish sounds that most people can't, but that's something you're born with it .

  • @ariacurran8330

    maybe it's still over my head, but why does музей require a genitive case? Would it be because you want to refer to something belonging there? Like a book?

  • @raularmas1719
    @raularmas1719 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    With all due respect for your help you have a penchant for overstatement that might put off some budding linguist who would rather hear encouragement. I believe most Russian people are very forgiving of foreigners trying to speak their incredibly rich/complex language--no matter how many "mistakes" they make that you think are horribly wrong.

    • @howjaneylearned
      @howjaneylearned  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I totally agree with you! My background is in teaching at universities, which means students' progress has to be quantifiable. I'd love to just have them come and give them a grade for having fun, but rigid standards in American education want them reaching certain proficiency goals. Alas...

    To me -ть sounds just like -те (when it is not stressed), is it really so?

    • @poe12
      @poe12 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmmm.
      I'd say ть and те so that they sound differently and I'd hear the difference.
      I'm native Russian.

    интересно, если Девочка - это Girl, Женщина - это Woman, то как в английском языке будет Девушка?)

    “Ы” is such a frustrating vowel, I feel like I’m pronouncing it wrong every time
