Thank you so much. Started to learn Russian at school many years ago . Teacher resigned though so its been left all these years...seeing your lessons though has once again inspired me to learn it again. Brilliant method for vocabulary
Hard to say... I try to build the process so that people don't just memorize the words, but they get associative link between the word and the object or action. And I honestly don't know how writing out the words can help with that. But, on the other hand, why not? If you think it might be helpful for you, just try it and them compare the results. Because it's very individual. And you won't get the answer until you try it.
There is no universal rule. The basic rule is that if a word ends in a consonant, it is masculine. If a word ends in "А" or "Я", it's feminine. If a word ends in "О" or "Е", it's neuter. But this rule works just for about 80% of nouns because: 1) There are quite a few exception words. For example "Мужчина" or "Дедушка" - both are masculine. Or: the word "Время" is neuter. 2) There is a large group of nouns that does not have a rule at all. These are nouns that end in a soft sign "Ь". For example the noun "День" (day) is masculine, but the noun "Тень" (shadow) is feminine, or the noun "Осень" (fall) is feminine, but the noun "Олень" (deer) is masculine. So you can only memorize them
@@BasicRussianVocabulary .ok that sort of makes sense. I'm extremely new to learning new language stuff in general (wasn't given the option in school at all sadly) so I'm trying to self teach with these types of videos. I'm probably reading it wrong but is the word for "Day" in your comment be pronounced something like "Dare" would be in English?

Do you recommend writing out the words after watching a lesson to make remembering easier?

How does one exactly differentiate between masculine and feminine for the words?

No. It sounds like | den' |. You can find this word in Lesson 5.
