- In this video, I share my experience with registering for and taking the TORFL/ТРКИ Russian language certificate exam, which is administered by the Saint Petersburg State University and recognised internationally. The level I tested for is B1. I'm planning on making another video sharing my results.

Did you read questions before or after listening? In listening part
@@azharbakor6212 Before. You could see the questions all the time and play the audio whenever you decide.
@@Monoglossia ok, thanks. I have the same exam in about two days. Any advice?
@@azharbakor6212 Just take your time and rest well between sections. Good luck!
Very interesting video! Im also planning to take it this year and, as a person who's learning grammar and vocab alone, there is an aspect of the exam that I simply dont know how to study alone, its the writing part... how did you prepare yourself for it? Where did u learn how to write a composition based on the model of whats required for the exam takers?
Hm to be honest, I didn't really prepare for the writing part - I just made sure I know how to start and finish a letter (I think one of the two tasks is always a letter), and I limited myself to only using vocabulary and even grammar that I am confident in. Otherwise, I don't think structure is very important as you are only given relatively little time for the two tasks. A short introduction and conclusion and a couple of paragraphs between them should be fine. I would advise you to look at some connecting words and expressions (for example, here: www.russianpod101.com/russian-vocabulary-lists/must-know-adverbs-and-phrases-for-connecting-thoughts). Good luck on your exam! 💪
So a Bulgarian would struggle to reach B1 in Russian ? I thought your languages were closer.
As a French, reaching B1 in Italian was quite straightforward.
I wouldn’t say that I have struggled; it took me significantly less time and effort to reach B1 in Russian than in Japanese, for example. I was okay starting directly from A2 (in a French university, by the way) due to the common alphabet and lexical similarities. However, I don’t see any similarities between Bulgarian and Russian grammar. In particular, Russian has a pretty complex system of grammatical cases (Bulgarian has no cases).
