    Это то же самое в Японии. На самом дене, я не улыбаюсь, чтобы избежать "я ему нравлюсь", но никогда улыбки в разговоре, это может быть понято как плохое настроение, я нахожу момент, чтобы улыбнуться в разговоре. Спасибо за объяснение русской культуры!

    That's really good to know, thank you, teacher. In Romania we are the same, we smile in the same circumstances but we do not think that a person smiling a lot is 'stupid', it just means that he/she is happy. I've lived in the UK for 8 years now and I've gotten used to smiling a lot, so I'll need to curb this reflex since I want to move to Russia.

      Well, all people are different of course. I also smile a lot even living in Russia 😊 most of the time I just don’t really care what people would think, so don’t worry about it!

      Well yes you're right, and there's a difference between smiling a lot, and smiling AT PEOPLE a lot. In the parts of California I grew up, you can smile at strangers and all is normal. Like if i was in Russia and locals saw me smiling, it's normal. They'd assume there was something specific that was positive going on for me. But if I smile TO THEM, as a sort of a greeting.... who am I? What is the reason for this? Both ways kinda make sense. I get it

    В Польше мы тоже не слишком часто улыбаемся, не улыбаемся незнакомцам и не ведем светских разговоров, и у нас всегда сварливые лица.
    Я думаю, что все страны Центральной и Восточной Европы такие. Мы улыбаемся только в том случае, если есть причина.
    Я всегда слегка улыбаюсь, когда смотрю твое новое видео, потому что всегда могу узнать из него что-то новое.

    Привет Лина
    У меня три вопроса. Можете мне помочь?
    Firstly, I’m not sure when the words have е or ё it’s really annoying when I’m learning and I find that weeks or months later, I have been saying it wrong. I know that it is when the stress is on that syllable but is there another way to predict it?
    Also, how do you recommend I most effectively watch Russian movies, videos, etc because I have been doing it for a while but not been making much progress in listening. I guess part of it is building vocabulary but how would you recommend I most effectively do it?
    Lastly, is there a less boring way to learn words than flash cards that you know of? XD
    Большое спасибо за помощь Лина!

    • @LinasLessons
      @LinasLessons  หลายเดือนก่อน

      1. Natives usually don’t write ë, so unfortunately there is no way to know it without knowing the word you want to use.
      2. At first you can watch movies and videos with Russian subs. Later you can try to watch it without subs at all. Only like this your brain can get used to Russian speech.
      And when you watch them with subs you can write down the words you want to learn. Don’t learn all the words you don’t know, only those you find useful and common.
      Unfortunately I don’t know any other less boring way to learn new words haha

      Hi! Your listening comprehension is obviously very good if you understand so much of what I said, so to improve your speaking you need to practice more. You could find a tutor, yes, it’ll be a great option! Also you can try to find Russian natives just to practice your conversation 😊

    это верно, иностранцы улыбаются из вежливости, и если им не улыбнуться, они могут испугаться и подумать что ты к ним агрессивно настроен, что человек тебе не нравится и ты стараешься это показать ... Вот такие казусы из-за этого... 🤪

    Do you smile Alina? Because you are also Russian. That's why I am asking you. I am from Kolkata,East India. We Indians smile a lot. Smile is also an important part of our religion or "Dharma " "Hinduism "which is the oldest religion in the world. According to Indian tradition and the rituals of Hinduism smile helps you every aspect of your life. For example, when you feel loneliness or frustrated your smile will help you to divert your mind. On one hand your smile will help you to forget your pain, sorrow, frustration, loneliness for sometimes in front of people. On the other hand your smile will be the reason for enjoyment of other people. It proofs that your smile not only help you directly but also help others indirectly. According to the God and Goddess of Hinduism to give enjoyment and take enjoyment means if your smile is the reason for the enjoyment of others directly or indirectly it will bring joy and happiness to your life also directly and indirectly. That's why we Indians smile and always try to smile more . Alina if you really smile more than Russian people in spite of an Russian then I like to meet you. Because I smile a lot. Even I smile unnecessarily also. Sometimes I smile to hide and forget my Unmarried, single, celibate lonely life.

      Not necessarily, it always depends. You can use feminine words which end in A and you are a man. So it doesn’t depend on the gender of the person who’s speaking.
