My advice related to cases: just don't learn it as a table. Learn it from the context, from actually seeing it used in sentences. Learning cases from a table killed my joy in learning any language ever. It felt much harder than any physical work.
This was my experience in German as well. Having a lot of input helped me be able to discern what sounded right. I still studied the case system, but there’s absolutely no way I could rely on figuring that out quickly and maintaining a smooth flowing conversation.
this is excellent advice. if i had learned all the grammar correctly with tables etc... well i would have just given up. i now speak russian with a LOT of mistakes, but i DO speak and read it. i also enjoy it. this would have been impossible with boring grammar drills
Honestly, I felt the opposite. Russian for free not only has a table but also exercises to help with each case and provides examples on when you would use them. It doesn't explain the cases perfectly to be honest, but to have the table side by side with the exercises helps a lot and then you can remove the table completely when it's a bit more natural.
это, еще вы пунктуацию не видели, просто ужас и это для человека ,который живет в России -это просто ужас : мне интересно, в других языках кто-то воспринимает в серьезно знаки : ; - и еще ссп спч бессоюзные предложение прямо косвенное цитирования водные конструкции и многое другое
With languages you should use it or lose it. I really admire you for being a polyglot. Especially learning Russian! I enjoyed hearing your experiences!
My humble advice: 1) Start with fundamental grammar (genders, conjugations, cases) but don’t try to nail everything down. 2) Develop your vocabulary. It will help your understanding a great deal. You will be able to connect the dots to get an idea of what is being spoken, even if you don’t wholly understand it. 3) Listen a lot, preferably podcasts that are coming with transcript. This will improve not only your listening but vocabulary also. 4) You need to speak as much as you can but if you have nobody, talk to yourself. Explain your daily routine to yourself in Russian. Pretend you’re in a restaurant and you’re ordering a meal, etc. 5) If you don’t know where to start, buy a course book. It will provide the basics in an organized way. 6) Don’t jump from one YT channel to another. There is no perfect resource but some are smarter than the others 7) It is one step at a time. You have to be very very patient. It is like watching grass grow (at least for me).
@@Rainzy42 I would suggest self study with a course-book and support from online resources: - For course-book, try Дорого в Россию (The Road to Russia) or Поехали - For online grammar support, о русском по русски (about Russian in Russian) is a good resource. She is a good teacher and explains concepts in an easy way - For listening, try Russian with Max. He has videos for all levels. - For speaking, read easy texts and then re-tell them (don’t memorize). Talk to yourself. Whatever you are doing at that moment, try to explain it in Russian. Pretend that you are in an everyday situation (let’s say you’re ordering a meal) and try to do that in Russian. If you have privacy, do all these exercises actually speaking, not in your head. That makes a big difference.
HIi guys my name is amy and i decided to learn russian from scratch today 22.07.2024 day one i'm gonna learn the alphabet today please remind me every time you ses this
@@cougsjohnson1 hi thank you for reminding me the pronunciation are okay because I already speak hard language so it’s not hard for me to pronounce the Russian alphabet but I’m struggling to remember 😭 let’s hope that I know the whole alphabet by next week 🤞 and I think because I’m also learning Korean that it’s harder for me than someone who’s just learning one language ❤️
Hey, I learnt the Russian alphabets and cases in grammar. I actually understand and speak basic russian too. But, I struggle at holding convos with people
@@clairvoyance2456 Don't give up! Keep going. Every Person who learns Russian, threatens to quit at least 15 times. I'm in my 6th year now, and watching Russian Movies & Television Series. It's like getting a 2nd Subscription to Netflix! Good Luck 👍
My best advice can be summed up in two words - Be patient. It is considered the fourth hardest language in the world to learn, and it cannot be learned in six months to a year unless, you live in a Russian speaking country and exposed to it, 24/7/365.
I am a native Russian speaker and must assure you and everybody watching that your Russian, at least in this video, is perfect and astonishing so your advice is worth a lot.
@@adevikthur , Irony of Fate, Diamond Arm, Carnival Night, the girls, Operation Y, kidnapping caucasian style, office romance parts 1&2, Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession. Hope that helps!
@@susankeeton1636 Diamond Arm is my mom's favorite Russian movie. I've seen it before with subtitles, as a kid, but hopefully I can watch it again in Russian some day!
A few recommendations from me: 17 Мгновений Весны - 17 Moments Of Spring (series in 12 episodes, absolutely genius dialogues, very good for learning) - 1973 Курьер - Courier - 1986 Самая обаятельная и привлекательная - The most charming and appealing - 1985
I'm stuck in the vocabulary phase right now. I have a young baby and am struggling to find time. I absolutely adore the Russian language now though. The movies, television, and music are simply incredible. It's like I stuck my foot in water to test the temperature and the quality just devoured me. Всем удачи!
Ive been studying Russian for 2 years now, and I MAXIMALLY agree with everything you said. I’m also surprised RT has a Russian cours, I really didn’t know that one. Anyways, keep up the good work, you’ve gained a new subscriber❤
Im Latvian, and my native language is also Latvian (no sh1t, ik), but i fluently speak russian language without any accent since im 7, rn i speak Russian, Latvian, English and currently learning Polish as hobby and German in school. I think this video is pretty right about that you need to start with alphabet etc, but in my opinion its better to start to watch videos in that language to understand how it sounds, then learn basic sentences, and only then start learning about text, writing, etc. Usually people learn language to talk in it, not for texting and then i would recommend to learn sentences (or try to make some) what you would use very often and then actually use them. Even if you learn 10 words from book in single day, you will still forget them if you dont use them daily, cuz ''why you need to remember if you arent using that information?'', you got the point ;)
@@EyeDriveATruck Idk, maybe. Knowing a lot of languages is fun, but the only problem is that i dont know anybody to learn lithuanian language with (i dont know anybody to use lithuanian. Its always easier having somebody to talk in that language with) But Lithuanians are cool, so maybe one day i could start learning it. =D
[1] You forgot one very important aspect in learning vocabulary, including when conjugating verbs: don't ignore ударение - memorize over which vowel the accent falls and the associated pronunciation rules. For example, unaccented "o" is pronounced as "a." In some few instances, moreover, a word may be spelt the same but have the accent in an alternate place with semantic effect. So take мука: with accent over the, "a," you have flour; over the "y," you have torture. Another example: There is a big difference if you say я хочу писать depending on whether the accent is placed over "и" or over the "a" in писать. (The latter means "I want to write;" the former, something you only may want to say with your buddies after drinking a lot of beer and you need bladder relief.) With the accent placed incorrectly, you simply may not be understood engendering a look of confusion or you'll be understood as someone speaking Russian poorly. Consider, for example, how to pronounce correctly the very simple words бабушка (grandmother) and отец (father) using Google translate. Can you hear where the accent falls in each? [2] You exaggerate the general difficulty of determining the genders - masculine, feminine, neuter; only two specific issues of complexity come to mind: (1) words ending with мякий знак (soft sign) ь, which may be either masculine or feminine, and (2) the short array of words like мужчина (man), which, by appearances i.e., the typical feminine ending "a" manifests but, nonetheless, is grammatically masculinе so we get "неграмотный мужчина" and not "неграмотная мужчина." In general, masculine and feminine in French is a much bigger headache than determining m/f/n in Russian. [3] Of course, learning the Cyrillic alphabet is a must but do not exaggerate the difficulties of doing so. Compared to Georgian or Armenian orthography, for example, the Cyrillic alphabet is a cake walk with most sounds, except notably for ы, x and щ, easily replicable by native English speakers. I would, however, recommend the learner undertake learning cursive script right after learning print script; cursive has some tricky nuances and should ideally be mastered early on.
I'm SO LUCKY to find this because I was thinking about studying Russian and you just popped up recently with this video. Thank you, I'll take all your recommendations.
This might be the best video I found about learning Russian yet. I'm at the point where I know basic sentences but I have russian friends that want to help me improve my russian You broke everything down on what you need to learn and how to learn it aswell. I'll definitely start using the points from this video to improve my russian thank you :D
Great video, thanks! I looked in comments for your music suggestions, sorry if I missed it but couldnt find them, I would love to hear some music just to get the ear for the language/rock out to some bangers!
English retains the Saxon genitive (Old English), but instead of being written as an ending, the s is added with an apostrophe. Think of "Johns car" (correct: John's car) as the genitive declension of John.
I'm from the Republic of Moldova, and about 80% of the people here speak russian more than romanian (the native language), and in my school I had to learn it starting with 5th grade. It's been 4 years since I've been learning russian in school and I understand just a bit more than i can say, buy i can say that russian its really complex, especially the grammar part, which is simillar to romanian, but there are a shit ton of exceptions in every rule and so many things that just seem unecessary))
Prepare to be "special military operationed" by the Great Russian Federation cause your country has more people speaking russian than the native language
Pe bune 80% din moldoveni vb mai bine rusa decat romana? Eu stiam ca moldovenii doar vb rusa asa ca pe o limba a doua, cum vorbim noi engleza sau ceva. Wow.
@@FaraStiriRO așa e, e oribil sa vezi in câte spații publice, restaurante, parcuri, cafenele nu se vorbește romana. E un sentiment așa dezamăgitor când mergi la magazin și casiera începe să-ți vorbeasca în rusa, neștiind o boabă de romana. Poate fi explicat asta și prin faptul ca Moldova e o țară post sovietica și comunistă, si ca încă exista o mulțime de oameni (în principiu bătrâni), care susțin vorbirea limbii ruse, comunismul, având o mentalitate foarte inapoiata
@@Fatadevis Uff, da, din pacate asta e realitatea. Cine stie, in viitor poate in sfarsit Romania si Moldova se vor uni, pentru ca suntem aceeasi tara, aceeasi limba, aceeasi istorie, aceiasi oameni really.
@@Fatadevis😂 да просто эти старики знают один из мировых языков и им просто нет необходимости учить что-то ещё особенно если учесть что они закончили школы много лет назад. Они просто решили не копать себе местечковую землянку, а являются сотворцами огромной части мировой культуры. Особенно кекнул с того что коммунистический менталитет - отсталый;) там долбанный маркс и Ленин в бестселлерах продаж, что в России, что в странах «развитого капитализма», а тут про отсталый менталитет басни рассказываешь;)
The alphabet was the easiest part for me. I'm currently learning it in braille as well as print and let me tell y'all, the print version is much easier. Anyway, the genders were also pretty simple, and I love how predictable the endings are. The verb endings are also predictable for the most part, I'd say about 95 percent of verbs have the same ending rules. I have been learning Russian as a legally blind person and I'm only now starting to learn the cases. Out of the 6 cases, I would split them into 3 sections, easy, medium, and challenging.
same! 3 years after learning the Russian alphabet my Russian skills have worsened since I haven’t spoken it in a while other than at home but barely, but knowing to _read_ Russian is still completely in tact lol 😭
Just as a note, I have 2 videos on my channel pertaining to the Russian alphabet. I'm not trying to mooch off someone else's channel, but I'm just letting y'all know that if you want to see more videos on the Russian alphabet or other unrelated things, I have them
That's a good video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
I genuinely think this is the best "how to approach mastering russian" advice I have found. I have been studying russian for 1 year and yeah, very useful
Russian is my first second language as well starting Feb of 2023. It seems that I went about it the right way. Knocked the alphabet out in a few days. That’s the easy part. I used TH-cam resources for a while and then got Babbel. I continued to use TH-cam resources to supplement Babbel. But I have been taking it slow and casual because I have no timeline. I don’t have a need for it. I’m simply intrigued by the language and culture. So even though I’m still only at about tourist level proficiency, because I slacked off heavy learning to focus more on more important things, I stay connected to the language by continuing to watch and listen to content that includes Russian language. I will eventually get back to intense study.
Hi there ! Wish you luck in learning this really difficult language! Btw I’m a Russian native speaker, who speaks English and learn french. I think we can help each other by having conversations and practicing What do you think? Just reply if interested
Recently began Russian studies and agree with everything you said. Have a reason: mine is to speak to my Russian grandson and to my daughter in law’s family. My main fun so far when learning is Russian pop music and doing translations plus practicing pronunciation by singing along. I started with the Russian shuffle dancers. Currently I’m working on дальше-больше by Dabro. It’s a great song!!
Great Video, you explained everything very well and is very helpful to me. I am currently just 2 days into learning it, and you pointed out some important things I didn't know before. Thank you.
Exceptions are your Best friends in you russian learning journey 😅 I would say that usually Exceptions have some rules in russian grammar rather than rules have some Exceptions
Been learning russian on duolingo for 2 years didnt make much progress, met a friend from russia on a video game called escape from tarkova and every now and then id have him speak russian and id only ask in english if i didnt understand something, learned more that way
Good tips. I actually learned how to read and write/speak it before I actually understood it. That worked best for me. You could put something in front of me and I'd read/speak it like a native. I'd have no clue what I was saying or reading but I could read/speak it. After I knew all the quirks with the language, genders, grammar, pronunciations etc that's when I started to focus on understanding it. Completely weird but I did it lol.
Kind of what I'm doing. I can read and speak most any word. Trying to learn rules is mind numbing. I'm 2 years on and I still don't know most rules. I figure I'll get there eventually. I'm learning on my own with mostly duolingo
@@eyem4freedom hey I am also learning with Duolingo plus the TH-cam. 😊 And I also can read but can't understand 😅 It's been only a week but I found this method is more faster than going step by step.
I'm so jealous! I'm American but self taught myself Russian in HS. My HS had a lot of Russian people (and cute Russian boys) I got so interested. I learned how to read Russian in one day after checking out a book at our school library. I thought it was going to be super hard and tedious but it just came to me. I got so excited and started writing PRINT Russian on my own from what I saw in books. I met many Russian friends in HS and they would help me translate English words into Russian for me to memorize that I wrote on paper. Long time later I took a free course of Russian language at a community college. Tbh, it didn't teach me much of what I already knew. But it was fun to be in a class of Russian dedication. I then further in life took a credit course of Russian language at a different state community college. They had me take a placement test since I told them I already had some knowledge of the language. They told me I could go STRONG in first year with everything I knew already or I could have some challenge and enter second year since I already knew most of the basics. I chose to go to first year because I thought it would be a good idea to fill in any gaps I may have missed from teaching myself. Obviously I did amazing in that class but they did teach me to write in cursive which text books never did for me and cursive is the primary writing type for Russian language. Tbh. I typed all of this out to reach this point. I struggled SOO much with the case system. I recognize it and am familiar with the concept of it. But it's SOO hard to apply it to all the vocabulary and how much it changes in every form. This is why I am jealous. That you can know so many languages and speak them so flawlessly. But Russian, my fav language is your best and even English does well for you. I tapped out with Russian at the case system. It was too much to remember and understand. Idk how you did it. I think I would do better to just be thrown in the country of Russia and learn over time through experience rather than learning the reason and know how.
Many Soviet films are free on TH-cam, even movies based on classic Russian literature are on TH-cam for free and with English subtitles. For example Dostoevsky’s crime and punishment and brothers karamazov I believe are there
Individual learning styles would mean that others would rearrange your list, but they're all crucial. For me, I tried to learn simple phrases but got frustrated with not understanding context. I was missing a lot of vocabulary. I readjusted to focusing more on vocab first (like baldandbankrupt suggested) and my comprehension went way up from there. I would recommend associating pictures with words (like flash card apps or whatever) to decouple your brain's natural association with your native language. I'm still learning the case system, but having context allows me to absorb the language, listening or visualizing, much better by simply knowing what's being talked about and figuring out the case system from there. Even if I don't understand cases perfectly, I know what a lot of the root words are and can work it out just knowing what's being talked about. I also prioritized listening and even though I didn't understand everything I was hearing, I was able to parse what was being said much easier and would look up words that I was able to discern much easier.
I've been learning Ukrainian for 2 years and it has a lot of the same structure as russian, just like Spanish and French have the same structure (russian and Ukrainian are actually less alike than Spanish and French!). I have found that by using LingQ and stuffing as much vocabulary in my head as possible, it actually helps learn the cases. So I would definitely recommend growing your vocabulary as fast as you can while you learn the cases.... do steps 5 and 6 together.
Very interesting. Is it difficult to use Ukrainian media? I can imagine, that sometimes one should understand both russian and Ukrainian to understand the media. A lot of Ukrainians mix two languages together, some speak only Ukrainian, some only russian. Can you as a foreigner distinguish these two languages? I hated our media because when I was growing up in Ukraine a lot of them were only in Russian. Sometimes the name of the show had Ukrainian name, like "Я соромлюсь свого тіла", "Хата на тата", "Міняю жінку" but a large part of the show could be in Russian... Do you understand Russian as well?
@@marianavytvytska6998 When I was just learning Ukrainian, all I could distinguish was that suddenly I didn't understand a word they said. Now that I've learned a lot of russian words, I can understand that they have switched to russian and sometimes if it's a simple sentence I understand it. It's helpful to know that my lack of understanding is because they are speaking russian... not because my Ukrainian is lacking. And by the way... Slava Ukraine!!
@@brianahoffman9622 Героям і героїням слава. I think, it may be initially hard to find good material, for compréhensible Input. I am happy, that nowadays we have more Ukrainian bloggers, who speak only Ukrainian and don't target the audience from post Soviet region. Sometimes I like to listen to "Палає" and "Це ніхто не буде дивитися"on TH-cam. The two young women who discuss literature, culture, stereotypes, mentality... If you are intermediate, you may profit from this channel ❤️
All slavic languages are the same in general. Russian and ukrainian have the same ancestor. Also if you speak Russian to ukrainians they'll understand you (because it's lingua franca).
@@freeeeman2011 or make a strang face and tell you that they don't want to understand that freaking language. The Russian invasion has changed a lot. For some people that language is a negative trigger. I would rather switch to English than to Russian .
The russian alphabet isn't hard at all. Have you seen chinese or arabic? Arabic literally requires you to learn how to read every word because it doesn't have vowels
А где твой акцент…? Я сначала подумала , что автор выучил английский , а русский это его первый язык😂😂😂 привыкла , что русскоговорящие в норме знают минимум 3 языка, а тут … блестящая работа 👏👏👏
I decided to learn Russian yesterday. I like their classic literature, their history, and how their language sounds. I am Bulgarian, so everything is smooth by far. However, are Russians really friendly? Since I play a lot of video games, they never pay attention if I use English and seem to me a little bit cold. However, I previously did not like Russian, because it is 'mild' if I can say so (In Bulgarian we say 'e', and Russians say 'ye'), but for some reason I am in love with it now.
Usually people don't play videogames to be friendly. They tend to spew everything that bothers them in real life, so they don't do it in person. Although it's true that russians aren't really interested in other people if they know it won't be a lasting relationship
from me and my dad's experience, yes, they are generally very nice unless you try to press them. They probably dont pay attention to you when you speak english because they don't even know what you're saying or who you're talking to
@@yyyy12344 "Although it's true that russians aren't really interested in other people if they know it won't be a lasting relationship" really? I never heard of that or seen that before, but honestly to me it seems kind of logical, probably because I do it myself.
My humble opinion. learning the alphabet writing it takes about 1 Month, Then use Children learning books with many visuals Mine was an old one 1985 with a cube in front and a key in golden letters. And always write down in cyrillic every visual object there. Thats for the start
Hearing the bit about the alphabet, I guess it is all about perspective. The first foreign language I started learning was Japanese (I am still not very good, I need more vocab) and, well, you know how it has at least 2k Chinese characters that you need to at least understand to be able to get anywhere with it. So, when I decided to dabble in Russian, the alphabet felt so easy by comparison. Studying Japanese has been very frustrating at times, and I have only recently gone back to it after getting particularly frustrated, I recommend that you try another language you have not previously studied before. While Russian is obviously much easier (by comparison) I have not spent nearly as much time with it, and it really put into perspective how much progress I had made with my Japanese, and ultimately how much I would beat myself up for small and understandable mistakes. So, long story short, if you are like me and you ever get frustrated while learning your target language try learning another completely new language (new to you, of course) and you will quickly appreciate all the progress you made in your target language.
Hello, I'm on the same journey of learning Russian and I really like the resources you've provided! However I'm having trouble with the RT lessons on the website as it seems like a lot of their plug in's don't work. I downloaded a plug in to play the audio but that's all I have working right now, any advice you can give so the all the functions can work on the website as I can't find much info elsewhere. Again thank you for an awesome video!
Native English speaker here who has studied Old English: cases are ALWAYS hard if your language doesn't inherently use them! Thank you for the warning!
The thing is there is just not enough ppl speaking english around someone not slavic or russian. When i learned english i did it so ezly just for the fact that it was so common and frequent to come by… not for russian and im having a really hard time learning it
Practical tips, thank you. Btw, Russian language uses Greek alphabet, and linguistics-wise, English is not a Western European, but a Germanic language.
Привет, друг. Не мог бы ты ответить на один вопрос, пожалуйста? Можешь ли ты читать русскую художественную литературу и если да, то как часто тебе приходиться пользоваться словарем? Мне этот вопрос интерес как человеку, который изучает английский путем чтения художественной литературы. Когда я читаю художественную литературу на английском, моя цель - понять каждое слово и, таким образом, в среднем я встречаю 2 незнакомых слова на каждой станице. Моя цель в том, чтобы мне вообще не приходилось пользоваться словарем. Не пробывал ли ты это на русском? Спасибо.
What fiction do you like in English, Yuri? I'm curious. I'm learning Russian and am finally able to start reading, but I do need a dictionary fairly often. I can recommend some interesting books in English depending on your taste.
@joelfisk Willa Cather, A. Cronin, father Spyridon Bailey (excellent fiction), Dorothy Anna. I like realism. My advice: read Russian books through Kindle with the dictionary inside. I read English books in this manner. Very comfortable.
@@yuriylugovtsev9336 Interesting, I'm unfamiliar with those you listed. I'll have to give them a look. I would recommend Cormac McCarthy if you're unfamiliar with him.

Kino, Korol I Shut, Molchat Doma, Otava Yo, Mikael Krug, DDT, Ulitsa Vostok, Nautilus Pompilius... There are so many great Russian bands and musical artists.
В современном английском понятие род утрачено, как грамматическая категория не надо говорить что в английском 2 рода там нет ни одного, есть понятие половой принадлежности, но это другое немножко, поэтому средний род это обычное явление он есть во многих языках европейских, например, в немецком. Есть всё таки языки с двумя грамматическими родами как иврит, например.

So I followed the link to the RT course and found that the audio won't play and it isn't possible to drag the words into the correct places in the dialogues like the page tells you to do. I tried in two different browsers (Firefox and Brave) with no luck. Anybody know how to make the site work?
Totoally agree! Little side note: You got the Accusative and Dative for the Russian pronouns mixed up. Dative is: мне, тебе, ему, ей, ему, нам, вам, им
This gave me clarity in my progress, you mentioned in your video that you can send a link in Russian Discord? You said as well that you can give it if we ask it? Can we get the link for me and for the upcoming learners in Russian language? Thank you!!
I am currently learning Russian. It took me less than 15 minutes to learn to read Korean. I KNOW I can also learn to read Russian in less than a day. I got this. 💪
One year ago from learning russian from scratch cyrillic alphabits to some sentences and phrases, I can read and understand a little bit , but the problem is that i can remember the words that i learnt . what should i do for that ?
Hello! I was wondering what Discord servers you use to learn your various languages!? Are they specialty interest groups like gaming and the like? If so, how do you find them? I just google with vague parameters and keywords but do you have any recommendations? If you wouldn't mind either replying to this comment or even as a video that would be so super helpful! Id appreciate it!
At last some decent advice on how to start studying Russian. Start with genders, conjugations, cases; this is the foundation which you will build on. When I give similar advice to new starters, they immediatley roll their eyes and claim that “they do not need to study grammar to learn Russian”. It is like saying that you want to be an engineer but you don’t want to study mathematics. Come on guys.
I'm interested in the discord server and music recommendations! I like to listen to a duo called fleur and polina gagarina is my favourite russian pop singer.
I read all the comments expecting more recommendations but sadly no one's talking about it 😢 If you like the "goth" style of music, I recommend Molchat Doma (famous for the tiktok song Судно) or Ploho. Even if "Russian doomer music" isn't your style, they speak very slowly, so it's easy to compare what you already know!
Kino and Korol I Shut have kept me busy for the last year. I haven't even gotten to Aria yet. I also recommend Molchat Doma as the poster above recommended.
Часто оказывается, что песня на английском, которую я всю жизнь слушал как неведомую тарабарщину, если прислушаться - понятна на 60%. Оказываются, я понимаю большинство часто употребляемых слов. И когда узнаешь перевод песни, например, группы Абба - про то, как она просит мужика на ночь себе - песня тереяет прежнюю привлекательность. 😆

My advice related to cases: just don't learn it as a table. Learn it from the context, from actually seeing it used in sentences. Learning cases from a table killed my joy in learning any language ever. It felt much harder than any physical work.
This was my experience in German as well. Having a lot of input helped me be able to discern what sounded right. I still studied the case system, but there’s absolutely no way I could rely on figuring that out quickly and maintaining a smooth flowing conversation.
this is excellent advice. if i had learned all the grammar correctly with tables etc... well i would have just given up. i now speak russian with a LOT of mistakes, but i DO speak and read it. i also enjoy it. this would have been impossible with boring grammar drills
Honestly, I felt the opposite. Russian for free not only has a table but also exercises to help with each case and provides examples on when you would use them. It doesn't explain the cases perfectly to be honest, but to have the table side by side with the exercises helps a lot and then you can remove the table completely when it's a bit more natural.
I agree.... very young children learn in this way... a word, a phrase, a sentence.....
это, еще вы пунктуацию не видели, просто ужас и это для человека ,который живет в России -это просто ужас : мне интересно, в других языках кто-то воспринимает в серьезно знаки : ; - и еще ссп спч бессоюзные предложение прямо косвенное цитирования водные конструкции и многое другое
I'm a native russian speaker but I was watching this video as if I was gonna learn it from zero w
new video : "I become amnesiac to relearn my mother tongue (shocked locals)"
@@user-nu4be8qx1p wow your english tongue is amasing! XD
Now as I speak german as well, after reading your comment about to watch like video auf Deutsch. Thanks for the idea (wait, wha?)😅
With languages you should use it or lose it. I really admire you for being a polyglot. Especially learning Russian! I enjoyed hearing your experiences!
I am learning Russian Language... I'm from Mumbai India
My humble advice:
1) Start with fundamental grammar (genders, conjugations, cases) but don’t try to nail everything down.
2) Develop your vocabulary. It will help your understanding a great deal. You will be able to connect the dots to get an idea of what is being spoken, even if you don’t wholly understand it.
3) Listen a lot, preferably podcasts that are coming with transcript. This will improve not only your listening but vocabulary also.
4) You need to speak as much as you can but if you have nobody, talk to yourself. Explain your daily routine to yourself in Russian. Pretend you’re in a restaurant and you’re ordering a meal, etc.
5) If you don’t know where to start, buy a course book. It will provide the basics in an organized way.
6) Don’t jump from one YT channel to another. There is no perfect resource but some are smarter than the others
7) It is one step at a time. You have to be very very patient. It is like watching grass grow (at least for me).
Thanks a lot❤❤ It helps 🙂
Can I learn it online?
@@Rainzy42 I would suggest self study with a course-book and support from online resources:
- For course-book, try Дорого в Россию (The Road to Russia) or Поехали
- For online grammar support, о русском по русски (about Russian in Russian) is a good resource. She is a good teacher and explains concepts in an easy way
- For listening, try Russian with Max. He has videos for all levels.
- For speaking, read easy texts and then re-tell them (don’t memorize). Talk to yourself. Whatever you are doing at that moment, try to explain it in Russian. Pretend that you are in an everyday situation (let’s say you’re ordering a meal) and try to do that in Russian. If you have privacy, do all these exercises actually speaking, not in your head. That makes a big difference.
What about Duolingo?
thx Jesus loves you. Have a good day!
HIi guys my name is amy and i decided to learn russian from scratch today 22.07.2024 day one i'm gonna learn the alphabet today please remind me every time you ses this
It's 1 Day later. Did you learn the alphabet yet?
@@cougsjohnson1 hi thank you for reminding me the pronunciation are okay because I already speak hard language so it’s not hard for me to pronounce the Russian alphabet but I’m struggling to remember 😭 let’s hope that I know the whole alphabet by next week 🤞 and I think because I’m also learning Korean that it’s harder for me than someone who’s just learning one language ❤️
Hey, I learnt the Russian alphabets and cases in grammar. I actually understand and speak basic russian too. But, I struggle at holding convos with people
@@clairvoyance2456 Don't give up! Keep going. Every Person who learns Russian, threatens to quit at least 15 times. I'm in my 6th year now, and watching Russian Movies & Television Series. It's like getting a 2nd Subscription to Netflix! Good Luck 👍
My best advice can be summed up in two words - Be patient. It is considered the fourth hardest language in the world to learn, and it cannot be learned in six months to a year unless, you live in a Russian speaking country and exposed to it, 24/7/365.
I am a native Russian speaker and must assure you and everybody watching that your Russian, at least in this video, is perfect and astonishing so your advice is worth a lot.
@@viktortsealov5903 thanks for the support 😁
My favorite part of learning about the Russian culture is the Soviet movies. You can find them on TH-cam with English subtitles.
Can you recommend a few?
@@adevikthur , Irony of Fate, Diamond Arm, Carnival Night, the girls, Operation Y, kidnapping caucasian style, office romance parts 1&2, Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession. Hope that helps!
@@susankeeton1636 Thanks much!
@@susankeeton1636 Diamond Arm is my mom's favorite Russian movie. I've seen it before with subtitles, as a kid, but hopefully I can watch it again in Russian some day!
A few recommendations from me:
17 Мгновений Весны - 17 Moments Of Spring (series in 12 episodes, absolutely genius dialogues, very good for learning) - 1973
Курьер - Courier - 1986
Самая обаятельная и привлекательная - The most charming and appealing - 1985
I'm stuck in the vocabulary phase right now. I have a young baby and am struggling to find time. I absolutely adore the Russian language now though. The movies, television, and music are simply incredible. It's like I stuck my foot in water to test the temperature and the quality just devoured me. Всем удачи!
Ive been studying Russian for 2 years now, and I MAXIMALLY agree with everything you said. I’m also surprised RT has a Russian cours, I really didn’t know that one.
Anyways, keep up the good work, you’ve gained a new subscriber❤
Im Latvian, and my native language is also Latvian (no sh1t, ik), but i fluently speak russian language without any accent since im 7, rn i speak Russian, Latvian, English and currently learning Polish as hobby and German in school. I think this video is pretty right about that you need to start with alphabet etc, but in my opinion its better to start to watch videos in that language to understand how it sounds, then learn basic sentences, and only then start learning about text, writing, etc. Usually people learn language to talk in it, not for texting and then i would recommend to learn sentences (or try to make some) what you would use very often and then actually use them. Even if you learn 10 words from book in single day, you will still forget them if you dont use them daily, cuz ''why you need to remember if you arent using that information?'', you got the point ;)
Would you ever want to learn Lithuanian?
@@EyeDriveATruck Idk, maybe. Knowing a lot of languages is fun, but the only problem is that i dont know anybody to learn lithuanian language with (i dont know anybody to use lithuanian. Its always easier having somebody to talk in that language with)
But Lithuanians are cool, so maybe one day i could start learning it. =D
@@tritaporika come on, it’s right next door to Latvia!
@@EyeDriveATruck I have a very little free time usually, cuz i also go to music school yk, so i probably will start learning it after polish
@@tritaporika that’s what I like to hear!
[1] You forgot one very important aspect in learning vocabulary, including when conjugating verbs: don't ignore ударение - memorize over which vowel the accent falls and the associated pronunciation rules. For example, unaccented "o" is pronounced as "a." In some few instances, moreover, a word may be spelt the same but have the accent in an alternate place with semantic effect. So take мука: with accent over the, "a," you have flour; over the "y," you have torture. Another example: There is a big difference if you say я хочу писать depending on whether the accent is placed over "и" or over the "a" in писать. (The latter means "I want to write;" the former, something you only may want to say with your buddies after drinking a lot of beer and you need bladder relief.) With the accent placed incorrectly, you simply may not be understood engendering a look of confusion or you'll be understood as someone speaking Russian poorly. Consider, for example, how to pronounce correctly the very simple words бабушка (grandmother) and отец (father) using Google translate. Can you hear where the accent falls in each? [2] You exaggerate the general difficulty of determining the genders - masculine, feminine, neuter; only two specific issues of complexity come to mind: (1) words ending with мякий знак (soft sign) ь, which may be either masculine or feminine, and (2) the short array of words like мужчина (man), which, by appearances i.e., the typical feminine ending "a" manifests but, nonetheless, is grammatically masculinе so we get "неграмотный мужчина" and not "неграмотная мужчина." In general, masculine and feminine in French is a much bigger headache than determining m/f/n in Russian. [3] Of course, learning the Cyrillic alphabet is a must but do not exaggerate the difficulties of doing so. Compared to Georgian or Armenian orthography, for example, the Cyrillic alphabet is a cake walk with most sounds, except notably for ы, x and щ, easily replicable by native English speakers. I would, however, recommend the learner undertake learning cursive script right after learning print script; cursive has some tricky nuances and should ideally be mastered early on.
I'm SO LUCKY to find this because I was thinking about studying Russian and you just popped up recently with this video. Thank you, I'll take all your recommendations.
Listen to Kino and never look back. It's such a great language and culture.
Good luck, you can do it! Я в тебя верю!
New subscriber here, that was great advice, learning how to read Russiam was a big step forward for me. I should have been doing this from the start.
This might be the best video I found about learning Russian yet. I'm at the point where I know basic sentences but I have russian friends that want to help me improve my russian
You broke everything down on what you need to learn and how to learn it aswell. I'll definitely start using the points from this video to improve my russian thank you :D
Great video, thanks! I looked in comments for your music suggestions, sorry if I missed it but couldnt find them, I would love to hear some music just to get the ear for the language/rock out to some bangers!
English retains the Saxon genitive (Old English), but instead of being written as an ending, the s is added with an apostrophe. Think of "Johns car" (correct: John's car) as the genitive declension of John.
I'm from the Republic of Moldova, and about 80% of the people here speak russian more than romanian (the native language), and in my school I had to learn it starting with 5th grade. It's been 4 years since I've been learning russian in school and I understand just a bit more than i can say, buy i can say that russian its really complex, especially the grammar part, which is simillar to romanian, but there are a shit ton of exceptions in every rule and so many things that just seem unecessary))
Prepare to be "special military operationed" by the Great Russian Federation cause your country has more people speaking russian than the native language
Pe bune 80% din moldoveni vb mai bine rusa decat romana? Eu stiam ca moldovenii doar vb rusa asa ca pe o limba a doua, cum vorbim noi engleza sau ceva. Wow.
@@FaraStiriRO așa e, e oribil sa vezi in câte spații publice, restaurante, parcuri, cafenele nu se vorbește romana. E un sentiment așa dezamăgitor când mergi la magazin și casiera începe să-ți vorbeasca în rusa, neștiind o boabă de romana. Poate fi explicat asta și prin faptul ca Moldova e o țară post sovietica și comunistă, si ca încă exista o mulțime de oameni (în principiu bătrâni), care susțin vorbirea limbii ruse, comunismul, având o mentalitate foarte inapoiata
@@Fatadevis Uff, da, din pacate asta e realitatea. Cine stie, in viitor poate in sfarsit Romania si Moldova se vor uni, pentru ca suntem aceeasi tara, aceeasi limba, aceeasi istorie, aceiasi oameni really.
@@Fatadevis😂 да просто эти старики знают один из мировых языков и им просто нет необходимости учить что-то ещё особенно если учесть что они закончили школы много лет назад. Они просто решили не копать себе местечковую землянку, а являются сотворцами огромной части мировой культуры.

The alphabet was the easiest part for me. I'm currently learning it in braille as well as print and let me tell y'all, the print version is much easier. Anyway, the genders were also pretty simple, and I love how predictable the endings are. The verb endings are also predictable for the most part, I'd say about 95 percent of verbs have the same ending rules. I have been learning Russian as a legally blind person and I'm only now starting to learn the cases. Out of the 6 cases, I would split them into 3 sections, easy, medium, and challenging.
Also, my Russian music recommendations are some heavy metal bands. They are Kipelov, Aria, Kino, and Neverlove. All are fantastic bands.
same! 3 years after learning the Russian alphabet my Russian skills have worsened since I haven’t spoken it in a while other than at home but barely, but knowing to _read_ Russian is still completely in tact lol 😭
Lol honestly! Once you learn the alphabet, you never forget it
Just as a note, I have 2 videos on my channel pertaining to the Russian alphabet. I'm not trying to mooch off someone else's channel, but I'm just letting y'all know that if you want to see more videos on the Russian alphabet or other unrelated things, I have them
That's a good video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
*Спасибо за это видео! Ваш совет имеет большой смысл.*
Wow! Great suggestions indeed! Thanks!🙏🏻
The info in this video is extremely valuable to me! You have no idea. Thank you
I genuinely think this is the best "how to approach mastering russian" advice I have found. I have been studying russian for 1 year and yeah, very useful
i’m impressed by this!! you broke concepts down well & made things seem approachable!
Russian is my first second language as well starting Feb of 2023. It seems that I went about it the right way. Knocked the alphabet out in a few days. That’s the easy part. I used TH-cam resources for a while and then got Babbel. I continued to use TH-cam resources to supplement Babbel. But I have been taking it slow and casual because I have no timeline. I don’t have a need for it. I’m simply intrigued by the language and culture. So even though I’m still only at about tourist level proficiency, because I slacked off heavy learning to focus more on more important things, I stay connected to the language by continuing to watch and listen to content that includes Russian language. I will eventually get back to intense study.
Wow. We appear to be living parallel lives, друг. Good luck with your studies!
Hi there !
Wish you luck in learning this really difficult language!
Btw I’m a Russian native speaker, who speaks English and learn french.
I think we can help each other by having conversations and practicing
What do you think? Just reply if interested
Recently began Russian studies and agree with everything you said. Have a reason: mine is to speak to my Russian grandson and to my daughter in law’s family. My main fun so far when learning is Russian pop music and doing translations plus practicing pronunciation by singing along. I started with the Russian shuffle dancers. Currently I’m working on дальше-больше by Dabro. It’s a great song!!
У Dabro много хороших песен.
@@user-se3gv6bu9g I agree. I love their music!!

Been learning russian on duolingo for 2 years didnt make much progress, met a friend from russia on a video game called escape from tarkova and every now and then id have him speak russian and id only ask in english if i didnt understand something, learned more that way
thank you so much
Good tips. I actually learned how to read and write/speak it before I actually understood it. That worked best for me. You could put something in front of me and I'd read/speak it like a native. I'd have no clue what I was saying or reading but I could read/speak it. After I knew all the quirks with the language, genders, grammar, pronunciations etc that's when I started to focus on understanding it. Completely weird but I did it lol.
Picking the easiest route is a great way to learn a language. Once you learn the easy stuff, the hard stuff becomes easier as well :)
Kind of what I'm doing. I can read and speak most any word. Trying to learn rules is mind numbing. I'm 2 years on and I still don't know most rules. I figure I'll get there eventually. I'm learning on my own with mostly duolingo
@@eyem4freedom hey I am also learning with Duolingo plus the TH-cam.
😊
And I also can read but can't understand 😅 It's been only a week but I found this method is more faster than going step by step.
I'm so jealous! I'm American but self taught myself Russian in HS.
My HS had a lot of Russian people (and cute Russian boys) I got so interested.
I learned how to read Russian in one day after checking out a book at our school library.
I thought it was going to be super hard and tedious but it just came to me. I got so excited and started writing PRINT Russian on my own from what I saw in books. I met many Russian friends in HS and they would help me translate English words into Russian for me to memorize that I wrote on paper.
Long time later I took a free course of Russian language at a community college. Tbh, it didn't teach me much of what I already knew. But it was fun to be in a class of Russian dedication.
I then further in life took a credit course of Russian language at a different state community college. They had me take a placement test since I told them I already had some knowledge of the language. They told me I could go STRONG in first year with everything I knew already or I could have some challenge and enter second year since I already knew most of the basics.
I chose to go to first year because I thought it would be a good idea to fill in any gaps I may have missed from teaching myself.
Obviously I did amazing in that class but they did teach me to write in cursive which text books never did for me and cursive is the primary writing type for Russian language.
Tbh. I typed all of this out to reach this point. I struggled SOO much with the case system. I recognize it and am familiar with the concept of it. But it's SOO hard to apply it to all the vocabulary and how much it changes in every form. This is why I am jealous.
That you can know so many languages and speak them so flawlessly. But Russian, my fav language is your best and even English does well for you.
I tapped out with Russian at the case system. It was too much to remember and understand. Idk how you did it.
I think I would do better to just be thrown in the country of Russia and learn over time through experience rather than learning the reason and know how.
hi! i’m Russian native speaker, i’m learning English. What about practicing together? i can help you with Russian, you can help me with English
you really gave up on learning it after all those years?
Many Soviet films are free on TH-cam, even movies based on classic Russian literature are on TH-cam for free and with English subtitles. For example Dostoevsky’s crime and punishment and brothers karamazov I believe are there

Individual learning styles would mean that others would rearrange your list, but they're all crucial. For me, I tried to learn simple phrases but got frustrated with not understanding context. I was missing a lot of vocabulary. I readjusted to focusing more on vocab first (like baldandbankrupt suggested) and my comprehension went way up from there. I would recommend associating pictures with words (like flash card apps or whatever) to decouple your brain's natural association with your native language. I'm still learning the case system, but having context allows me to absorb the language, listening or visualizing, much better by simply knowing what's being talked about and figuring out the case system from there. Even if I don't understand cases perfectly, I know what a lot of the root words are and can work it out just knowing what's being talked about. I also prioritized listening and even though I didn't understand everything I was hearing, I was able to parse what was being said much easier and would look up words that I was able to discern much easier.
You now have subscriber. Privet!
I've been learning Ukrainian for 2 years and it has a lot of the same structure as russian, just like Spanish and French have the same structure (russian and Ukrainian are actually less alike than Spanish and French!). I have found that by using LingQ and stuffing as much vocabulary in my head as possible, it actually helps learn the cases. So I would definitely recommend growing your vocabulary as fast as you can while you learn the cases.... do steps 5 and 6 together.
Very interesting.
Is it difficult to use Ukrainian media? I can imagine, that sometimes one should understand both russian and Ukrainian to understand the media. A lot of Ukrainians mix two languages together, some speak only Ukrainian, some only russian. Can you as a foreigner distinguish these two languages?
I hated our media because when I was growing up in Ukraine a lot of them were only in Russian. Sometimes the name of the show had Ukrainian name, like "Я соромлюсь свого тіла", "Хата на тата", "Міняю жінку" but a large part of the show could be in Russian... Do you understand Russian as well?
@@marianavytvytska6998 When I was just learning Ukrainian, all I could distinguish was that suddenly I didn't understand a word they said. Now that I've learned a lot of russian words, I can understand that they have switched to russian and sometimes if it's a simple sentence I understand it. It's helpful to know that my lack of understanding is because they are speaking russian... not because my Ukrainian is lacking. And by the way... Slava Ukraine!!

All slavic languages are the same in general. Russian and ukrainian have the same ancestor. Also if you speak Russian to ukrainians they'll understand you (because it's lingua franca).
@@freeeeman2011 or make a strang face and tell you that they don't want to understand that freaking language. The Russian invasion has changed a lot. For some people that language is a negative trigger. I would rather switch to English than to Russian .

Great advise....thankyou....also started my Russian journey 24/724😅
I decided to learn Russian yesterday. I like their classic literature, their history, and how their language sounds. I am Bulgarian, so everything is smooth by far. However, are Russians really friendly? Since I play a lot of video games, they never pay attention if I use English and seem to me a little bit cold. However, I previously did not like Russian, because it is 'mild' if I can say so (In Bulgarian we say 'e', and Russians say 'ye'), but for some reason I am in love with it now.
Usually people don't play videogames to be friendly. They tend to spew everything that bothers them in real life, so they don't do it in person.
Although it's true that russians aren't really interested in other people if they know it won't be a lasting relationship
from me and my dad's experience, yes, they are generally very nice unless you try to press them. They probably dont pay attention to you when you speak english because they don't even know what you're saying or who you're talking to
@@yyyy12344 "Although it's true that russians aren't really interested in other people if they know it won't be a lasting relationship" really? I never heard of that or seen that before, but honestly to me it seems kind of logical, probably because I do it myself.
My humble opinion. learning the alphabet writing it takes about 1 Month, Then use Children learning books with many visuals Mine was an old one 1985 with a cube in front and a key in golden letters. And always write down in cyrillic every visual object there. Thats for the start
Hearing the bit about the alphabet, I guess it is all about perspective. The first foreign language I started learning was Japanese (I am still not very good, I need more vocab) and, well, you know how it has at least 2k Chinese characters that you need to at least understand to be able to get anywhere with it. So, when I decided to dabble in Russian, the alphabet felt so easy by comparison. Studying Japanese has been very frustrating at times, and I have only recently gone back to it after getting particularly frustrated, I recommend that you try another language you have not previously studied before. While Russian is obviously much easier (by comparison) I have not spent nearly as much time with it, and it really put into perspective how much progress I had made with my Japanese, and ultimately how much I would beat myself up for small and understandable mistakes.
So, long story short, if you are like me and you ever get frustrated while learning your target language try learning another completely new language (new to you, of course) and you will quickly appreciate all the progress you made in your target language.
I'm native to English and I did not learn the letters first but I jumped to the sentences and words and its easy to pronounce for me

3:11 that's not true, gender affects almost nothing, instead mastering 3 noun declensions make big difference in learning Russian
Practical tips, thank you. Btw, Russian language uses Greek alphabet, and linguistics-wise, English is not a Western European, but a Germanic language.
Привет, друг. Не мог бы ты ответить на один вопрос, пожалуйста? Можешь ли ты читать русскую художественную литературу и если да, то как часто тебе приходиться пользоваться словарем?
Мне этот вопрос интерес как человеку, который изучает английский путем чтения художественной литературы. Когда я читаю художественную литературу на английском, моя цель - понять каждое слово и, таким образом, в среднем я встречаю 2 незнакомых слова на каждой станице. Моя цель в том, чтобы мне вообще не приходилось пользоваться словарем. Не пробывал ли ты это на русском? Спасибо.
What fiction do you like in English, Yuri? I'm curious. I'm learning Russian and am finally able to start reading, but I do need a dictionary fairly often. I can recommend some interesting books in English depending on your taste.
@joelfisk Willa Cather, A. Cronin, father Spyridon Bailey (excellent fiction), Dorothy Anna. I like realism.
My advice: read Russian books through Kindle with the dictionary inside. I read English books in this manner. Very comfortable.
@@yuriylugovtsev9336 Interesting, I'm unfamiliar with those you listed. I'll have to give them a look. I would recommend Cormac McCarthy if you're unfamiliar with him. His novels have been used for several very successful films here in the States and he's one of my favorite authors. I will give that Kindle idea a try. Спасибо!
Was wondering if you could send me the link to the discord you practiced Russian in? Спасибо мой брат!
How are all of you trying to learn any (written) language without alphabet? :) You're not the first who says it and I've never really understood it.
Please share a list of songs and artists
.
Kino, Korol I Shut, Molchat Doma, Otava Yo, Mikael Krug, DDT, Ulitsa Vostok, Nautilus Pompilius...
There are so many great Russian bands and musical artists.
В современном английском понятие род утрачено, как грамматическая категория не надо говорить что в английском 2 рода там нет ни одного, есть понятие половой принадлежности, но это другое немножко, поэтому средний род это обычное явление он есть во многих языках европейских, например, в немецком.
Есть всё таки языки с двумя грамматическими родами как иврит, например.
its funny you mention music, my whole reason for trying to learn russian rn is because I got really into russian post punk.
SAMEEE Do you have any recommendations or favourites?
@@lemonstudios8617 Kino, Chernikovkaya Hata, ATOW, Творожное озеро, Dismay, and Electrobirds. those are only a few of the many ive discovered and fallen in love with..
So I followed the link to the RT course and found that the audio won't play and it isn't possible to drag the words into the correct places in the dialogues like the page tells you to do. I tried in two different browsers (Firefox and Brave) with no luck. Anybody know how to make the site work?
Totoally agree! Little side note: You got the Accusative and Dative for the Russian pronouns mixed up. Dative is: мне, тебе, ему, ей, ему, нам, вам, им
This gave me clarity in my progress, you mentioned in your video that you can send a link in Russian Discord? You said as well that you can give it if we ask it? Can we get the link for me and for the upcoming learners in Russian language? Thank you!!
I'm starting to learn Russian today. Please remind me to study
Seriously? I learned the Russian alphabet first and I learned it in ONE DAY. C'mon.
I learned it in 2 hours. The problem is that some people don’t know effective strategies
Yes, the alphabet is easy to learn, however, the rest of the language is really hard 😂
@@RedMacs_og Yes, they should have stuck with just the alphabet.
I am currently learning Russian. It took me less than 15 minutes to learn to read Korean. I KNOW I can also learn to read Russian in less than a day. I got this. 💪
@@lovesidem just know that learning the alphabet is only the tiniest beginning
Im an asian and I just started to learn russian, now Im a bit familiar with the alphabet and I can read written texts as well.
Can anyone give any tips on how to effectively study the alphabet? Any exercises or memorizing techniques?
Use the app memorize
What is the discord server to practice Russian? Also music? Thanks!
One year ago from learning russian from scratch cyrillic alphabits to some sentences and phrases, I can read and understand a little bit , but the problem is that i can remember the words that i learnt . what should i do for that ?
Hard rock in Russian? Who are the bands??
Hello!
I was wondering what Discord servers you use to learn your various languages!?
Are they specialty interest groups like gaming and the like?
If so, how do you find them?
I just google with vague parameters and keywords but do you have any recommendations?
If you wouldn't mind either replying to this comment or even as a video that would be so super helpful!
Id appreciate it!
Learning Russian
ty so much
At last some decent advice on how to start studying Russian. Start with genders, conjugations, cases; this is the foundation which you will build on. When I give similar advice to new starters, they immediatley roll their eyes and claim that “they do not need to study grammar to learn Russian”. It is like saying that you want to be an engineer but you don’t want to study mathematics. Come on guys.
What are your favorite songs and your favorite artist in Russian music 🎶 ❤?
Я согласна с тобой (I agree with you)
does anyone have these recourses for the Serbian language ?
I'm interested in the discord server and music recommendations! I like to listen to a duo called fleur and polina gagarina is my favourite russian pop singer.
Русские следят за всеми блогерами, которые обучают русскому языку. Если заметят ошибки обязательно поправят 😅
Cool video! I recently came back to learning Rusisan. I am interested in those Discord links! Thanks in advance! ❤
very nice video
Very good work brother! Keep making America proud 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Where do you practice Russian from time to time? Can you share a link to this sourse, 😊 please?
Good tips, bro! Please, give the links servers of discord.
what are your russian music recommendations?! :D
I read all the comments expecting more recommendations but sadly no one's talking about it 😢
If you like the "goth" style of music, I recommend Molchat Doma (famous for the tiktok song Судно) or Ploho. Even if "Russian doomer music" isn't your style, they speak very slowly, so it's easy to compare what you already know!
Kino and Korol I Shut have kept me busy for the last year. I haven't even gotten to Aria yet. I also recommend Molchat Doma as the poster above recommended.
Can you please share the link to the Discord server?
Часто оказывается, что песня на английском, которую я всю жизнь слушал как неведомую тарабарщину, если прислушаться - понятна на 60%. Оказываются, я понимаю большинство часто употребляемых слов. И когда узнаешь перевод песни, например, группы Абба - про то, как она просит мужика на ночь себе - песня тереяет прежнюю привлекательность. 😆
