Don't worry. Even many native English speakers have trouble with some of these words, especially spelling them. Your English is very good and you should be very proud of yourself.
@@jimmd68 Right, for some English speakers they are homophones, however, for me only "their" and "they're" are. I pronounce "there" differently than the other two. "There" for me rhymes with "air" while "their" and "they're" rhyme with "her". If that makes any sense...
Native speakers generally don’t mind the English “filler” words used to fill pauses as we all use them, but we’re taught that we should try to avoid them especially in formal presentations/speeches. I find them very relaxing in ASMR! I love hearing you speak so passionately about what you’re learning in English. Learning a second language is challenging, but can be so interesting and fun! I’ve tried to learn some Russian, I wish I was as good at speaking Russian as you are at speaking English! English is hard! You’re doing great! 😊
4 years later and this is still my all time favorite ASMR video. I love the way she is able to laugh at herself and keep everything relaxing. We miss you, Darya!
There's something very endearing about watching you try to pronounce these English words. Some of those words are very tricky. I think your accent is great for ASMR, along with all the hand movements/gestures that you do. Also interesting re russian use of "baby words", I never thought about this before!
I love your voice. GentleWhispering(Maria) brought me to your channel a few years ago after giving your ASMR Train Conductor video a shout-out/review. So glad she did, love both of you ladies Russian accents! You trying to pronounce English words is so cute and a little humorous, love it! 🧡💜💚💙❤️💛🧡💜💚💙❤️
What a great video! I love hearing from people who experience learning English as a second language. Darya: please don't worry about how well you speak English - you speak English wonderfully. One of the biggest issues for people learning English as a second language is that they think they need to learn a "perfect" style of English. But the truth is that no-one speaks a perfect style of English. (Except maybe Mary Poppins. Maybe.) Every English speaker speaks a form of English that is true for them. People in different areas of the world speak English using different words, grammar and syntax. English as a language is very forgiving (perhaps where English teachers are often not). I know people from France, Spain, Greece, Hungary, China, Argentina: and every person has a different way of speaking English that is unique to their home language. What is confusing to people who experience English as a second language is that the rules of grammar and syntax in English are very free. Maybe a bit too free! Most European languages have a strict order that a speaker must order words in to create a sentence. This doesn't apply in English! You can usually throw any old shit together and it will still make sense. That's maybe not so good if you want to be the next J.D. Salinger; but it's perfectly wonderful if you want to communicate. Believe me (as a native English speaker) - you can literally murder the English language and still make sense. And yet! From how you speak, you are a very proficient English speaker. You don't need to worry. Really: you don't. And those idioms - those para... parasite words? (I think I misheard you.) The words that you talked about towards the end of your video - the words that you use to buy time to think, or simply nice phrases that you know. Keep them. Keep using them. Give your vocabulary colour and keep them with you; be who you are and where you are from. Because whenever you're talking to someone in English - be them a native speaker of English, or someone speaking English as a second (or third) language - those phrases will make you unique. Don't you dare to be "normal" in English, Darya, because you're a world apart in it already.
Not necessarily! Mark Forsyth points out in his book: “Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac. It’s an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. And as size comes before colour, green great dragons can’t exist.” But Darya does a great job 🥰
as a native english speaker, the words i hate the most come from other native english speakers exclusively. the thing i personally hate is when people over-use or mis-use words with very specific definitions. Good examples are "literally" or "ironic." they become used so much in the wrong contexts that their meanings change, and it can become difficult to know if someone is using the original meaning of the word, or the changed meaning. i don't hate any mistakes non-native speakers make. i actually find it interesting how people who speak other languages can alter sentence structure and still make perfect sense. one of the things i like about your english is how sometimes you'll pronounce something in a way that i can't understand - but i'll listen to the word over until i figure out what you meant, and then any time you say it again, i know what you're saying already. i don't know why, but i really like that. at the end of the day, i speak only one language, and you can speak (as far as i know) at least two. if you ever feel foolish for making mistakes, just remember that! not a lot of american english speakers can say the same. it's a commendable effort, and you should be proud!
The Oktava MK/MC-012 is sort of a legendary mic in the recording/live music world, particularly as a drum mic. I have owned four pairs since the early 2000's. It has a very musical low frequency "bump" and relatively smooth top end, qualities that you obviously heard for yourself. Excellent ears!
I get way more relaxed when the asmrtist is as genuine as possible. I like it when it feels like I'm talking to a person instead of a script (roleplays aren't my thing for this reason) so personally I LOVE it when you try to find the right word to use or trying to pronounce certain words. I'm now realizing how hard these words must be to learn lol Thanks so much for making these videos !
Mr Tattoo, I was really worried about u as I hadn't seen u in a comment section for 5 hours. I was about to report u as a missing person. I am so glad u r safe and well. Take care Mr Tattoo.
Tom I'm so relieved to see that you saw Naughtystimpys reply to Mr Tattos comment and you need not be worried any longer, I was feeling a bit unsettled for you
Katie B, it is with great relief that I discover you need not be anxious any longer over Tom's worrying concerning Naughtystimpy's fears while pondering Mr. Tattoo's absence
Depends on the accent. I usually switch it up depending on the situation. If it's formal (like an interview), I'll pronounce the "th", if it's just my mates I'll pronounce it "cloves".
Darya I’ve never had a problem understanding your English, and have always loved your accent. But I must add- you’re English has improved enormously the past couple of years. Your progress has been phenomenal!
One of the best asmr artists on youtube. Original, entertaining, relaxing and she understands all the triggers and is never "selling sex" like so many of the other Russian asmr girls.
I really like this video a lot. I think your personality really shines through. I think your grasp on English is amazing considering it’s not your first language & I find your accent so nice & relaxing to listen to
I love the way you say - "Though". You say it with such a lovely English accent, it's exactly right. Found this whole video adorable and very impressive.
One of the longest words in the English language is 'disestablishmentarianism', but it's meaning is so particular and specific that it rarely gets used, if at all. 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' is not really a word at all and existed only in the Mary Poppins lexicon (now 'lexicon' is a great word). It was forcibly given a base meaning simply because people wanted to use it outside of the silly song.
As a nonnative English speaker, the hardest part was to actually try to speak/write and get corrected quite often, after that learning was smooth, so keep improving! Btw, love your accent.
This has been my favorite ASMR video since it was released. The combination of audio quality, soft spoken, and whispered words are mind melting. I can honestly say I’ve yet to stay awake all the way to the end. Thank you for making it!
Darya...YOU are awesome! Love this video because of who you are! It's so wonderful! As an English-speaker from the USA, ALL these words are very difficult. You are doing so well with your English by the way! So proud! Here in the USA, people from different parts of the USA tend to have different accents and different types of "slang" as well. So, it only gets more complicated! Love the colors in this video as well! Also, the explanation on "baby talk" was wonderful and very helpful to me! I love it! Thanks so much and congratulations on 199K!!! :-)
You're so insightful! It's fun to get someone's fresh perspective on English as a native speaker. It gives me a new appreciation. You're English is also really impressive! You were not lied to, it became popular to hate the word "moist" in the last few years. "Cooperate" is weird because "coop" looks like it should be pronounced as one syllable with the vowel sound from "food." But since it's a variation of the word "operate," it's pronounced "co-operate." I have so much respect for English learners. I think it would be fun to hear you tell Russian jokes and try to explain them in English, even if they don't make sense when translated literally.
this was so entertaining and relaxing at the same time. English is my first language so its interesting to see what non-native speakers find difficult. the new speakers are amazing by the way, they make a huge difference!!!
And of course we native English-speakers absolutely appreciate your trying so hard to learn our language, since we are so poor at learning anybody else’s! THANK YOU ALL. 🍻
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is, in fact, a long word, however, I contend that there's a word that's even 2 letters longer. Meet hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Ironically enough, it's the name for the fear of long words. Imagine having a fear of long words and having to explain your phobia with that word. Just thought you'd all like this hilarious little tidbit
Darya, don't be so hard on yourself, your English is very good. Yes, some words sound the same but have a completely different meaning. Like any language, practice makes perfect. You get better with time.
Tea : this is another word for gossip. “Do you have any tea to spill?” “It do really be like that” : a phrase used when something can’t be helped or changed Shook : when something has shocked you. “Bitch I’m shook” “Wig snatched” : 1. a phase used when someone has done shocking . 2. When you have done something to shock other people “I just snatched everyone’s wigs” Mood : when you feel the same way as someone or something. “Oh you’re hungry, mood.” Cancelled : when someone or something is ‘over’ or ‘finished’. “Oh she is so cancelled.” You asked for some slang words so I thought I would help 😊. I hope you see this.
English makes very little sense. I admire you for learning it! Side note: please do more transitions between soft spoken and whispers 😊 Didn’t know I liked that until now.
i loved this video & you;re so cute! as a speaker of only one language, it's beyond impressive how well you speak english but it's also really cute to watch you talk about your frustrations with the english language because it definitely is frustrating sometimes lol 💕
I feel like tongue placement is very important when learning any language. My high school French teacher told me that "le" "la" "les" so "L" sounds are pronounced with the tip of the tongue downward in the mouth instead of up like in English. I can't even spell English words well so I'm always impressed when someone can read and write in multiple languages.
Amazing video. English is a hard language. It’s not uncommon for us native speakers to get things wrong. There are people who go their whole lives not knowing the difference between ‘there’, ‘their’ and ‘they’re’, or ‘your’ and ‘you’re’, for example. Another common misspelling is that of ‘definitely’ - some people never break the habit of writing ‘definately’ or even ‘defiantly’ (which means something totally different!). Language and grammar have always been my strong points but for some reason, the one word I just couldn’t get my head around at school was ‘guarantee’. I was spelling it phonetically, like ‘garuntee’, until I was about 20. So don’t worry Darya, we all find elements of the language quite confusing!
Just a little English tip. "Funny" means something that makes you laugh. "Fun" is used to describe an activity that you enjoy. Here's some examples. The joke is funny. Going to the park is fun. Just thought I'd help a little bit. 👍🏼😃
Learning another language takes a lot of guts. I started learning German and Danish as an adult/late teen and I struggle to pronounce so many words properly (especially in Danish) but I think it also may be because of my Aussie accent where we shorten sounds and don't finish the ending of words 😖 so proud you are brave enough to create amazing videos in another language! Love your videos xx
I love this video! I always find it interesting to see how English is perceived from someone who is learning it as a second language! Even little mistakes that come from the differences between languages are interesting, because a lot of the time it's understandable what is meant and why the mistake was made! You're doing amazingly well Darya and your continuous improvement is so impressive!
Baby talk in English more or less boils down to throwing away syllables and ending works with y. So favorite would be favey. Changing inflection, drawing out syllables, and repeating the word but replacing the first consonant with w are also methods employed.
Man I remember when you were just starting to make English vids apologizing for your English haha now you're talking much faster and more confident with it. It's been cool to see that progression.
English is super hard because words aren't written how they sound at all! My mum struggles and she (as well as me and my entire family) was born in England. It's her first language!! 😂 I think you do a great job ♥
Meat and meet might be easy to remember if you see the word eat in the one that is food Another two similar words are "there " and "their " as you can see in the second one there is the word heir as in "Heir to the throne" that is a nice easy way to remember how it's spelt so the word their is like "Their own hat" so is describing something that belongs to a person the other there is said for a place like "Over there" or is for something that you do " There was nothing to do"
Luv the hair! You always look so great ) Also, your voice and accent are so pleasant, that I think you could probably say anything and it would not be boring
Love this video! It was very entertaining watching you pronounce those words! As a native speaker, I can only imagine how difficult those would be to learn how to say.
I love this video Darya! The transition trigger is amazing, tingles every time!! Thank you for all you do and congrats on 200k, you deserve it!! And to spell "successful", just remember double the C, double the S and you'll always have success! :)
This is really interesting! I've always thought English didn't have many tricky sounds, but obviously it does! I know a lot of the time the word sounds very different to how you would think from the way it's spelled, but I didn't realise there were some sounds, like in "clothes", that are hard for non-native speakers to say. I think it's incredible that so many people speak a second language, especially English, so don't worry about the way you pronounce some words! You look super cute in this video as well 😊

1 The bandage was wound around the wound
2 The farm was used to produce produce
3 The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse
4 We must polish the Polish furniture
5 The soldier decided to desert in the desert
6 Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present
7 When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes
8 I did not object to the object
9 The insurance was invalid for the invalid
10 There was a row amongst the oarsmen about how to row
11 They were too close to the door to close it
12 The buck does funny things when the does are present
13 A seamstress and a sewer fell in a sewer
14 To help with the planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow
15. The wind was too strong to wind the sail
16 After a number of injections at the dentist my jaw got number
17 Upon seeing a tear in my painting I shed a tear
18 I had to subject the subject to a series of tests
19 How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
20 I spent last evening evening out a pile of dirt 😊
I'm belgian, and I could read them all!! Yey
Dessert 🍨has two s's, desert 🐫 has one. Also, you'd say "more numb" since "number" isn't a word in reference to analgesia
@@breakaoz ah, but Wrinklies is saying to desert (to leave without permission) in the desert.
Holly damn equivocation

Don't worry. Even many native English speakers have trouble with some of these words, especially spelling them. Your English is very good and you should be very proud of yourself.
Hear hear!
Yep! Conscience is a tough one to pronounce for me
English is weird, but it can be understood through tough thorough thought though!
Ye, English is fucked, hate those group of words. Doubt mysefl every time I write them.
Very good!
No comma before though, though.
@@justabitofjunkie2595 Correct. How about "There and their, they're different"
@@jimmd68 Right, for some English speakers they are homophones, however, for me only "their" and "they're" are. I pronounce "there" differently than the other two. "There" for me rhymes with "air" while "their" and "they're" rhyme with "her". If that makes any sense...
"queue" is actually just pronounced like the letter Q. most of the letters are silent 😘
Most likely it come from the French, most of our problem words started in France :P
Q -ueue- fixed your word. You're welcome anglospeakers.
The other letters aren't silent. They're just waiting their turn.

Your soft spoken voice is soooo unique, i get tingles instantly. Wowww
Tip for the word “clothes” you said you hate, we barely pronounce the “th” so when we say it, it basically sounds like “close”
"Cloze" - keep in mind close is a homophone so it helps to point it out (assuming you meant e.g. "close the door" not "close to me")
I usually call em "clodes"
Depends on the accent. I usually switch it up depending on the situation. If it's formal (like an interview), I'll pronounce the "th", if it's just my mates I'll pronounce it "cloves".
The change in windscreen colors had me second guessing my eyes for a moment haha 😂

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is, in fact, a long word, however, I contend that there's a word that's even 2 letters longer. Meet hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. Ironically enough, it's the name for the fear of long words. Imagine having a fear of long words and having to explain your phobia with that word. Just thought you'd all like this hilarious little tidbit
I absolutely adore your facial expressions. Would love to see more videos like these, you just expressing yourself, not role playing. So refreshing :)
This was a very relatable video. Good work. I have trouble speaking in general, so I understand where you are coming from with most of these words.
Darya, don't be so hard on yourself, your English is very good. Yes, some words sound the same but have a completely different meaning. Like any language, practice makes perfect. You get better with time.
Oh Darya you are always glowing!! 😊
My favorite trigger is soft spoken to whisper!
Tea : this is another word for gossip. “Do you have any tea to spill?”
“It do really be like that” : a phrase used when something can’t be helped or changed
Shook : when something has shocked you. “Bitch I’m shook”
“Wig snatched” : 1. a phase used when someone has done shocking . 2. When you have done something to shock other people “I just snatched everyone’s wigs”
Mood : when you feel the same way as someone or something. “Oh you’re hungry, mood.”
Cancelled : when someone or something is ‘over’ or ‘finished’. “Oh she is so cancelled.”
You asked for some slang words so I thought I would help 😊. I hope you see this.
Could you do a tapping video with these microphones? ❤️
Congratulations on having 200,000+ subscribers
Your awesome! Thank you for learning english to do videos like this as well. You sound great both ways. нам повезло, что ты здесь!
So happy I found this! Thank you Darya!
English makes very little sense. I admire you for learning it! Side note: please do more transitions between soft spoken and whispers 😊 Didn’t know I liked that until now.
As someone who grow up with English I agree with everything you just said it never get more complicated and it never ends
This was a fun video to watch. Thank you for showing us the struggles of learning a second language.
i loved this video & you;re so cute! as a speaker of only one language, it's beyond impressive how well you speak english but it's also really cute to watch you talk about your frustrations with the english language because it definitely is frustrating sometimes lol 💕
I feel like tongue placement is very important when learning any language. My high school French teacher told me that "le" "la" "les" so "L" sounds are pronounced with the tip of the tongue downward in the mouth instead of up like in English. I can't even spell English words well so I'm always impressed when someone can read and write in multiple languages.
Amazing video. English is a hard language. It’s not uncommon for us native speakers to get things wrong. There are people who go their whole lives not knowing the difference between ‘there’, ‘their’ and ‘they’re’, or ‘your’ and ‘you’re’, for example. Another common misspelling is that of ‘definitely’ - some people never break the habit of writing ‘definately’ or even ‘defiantly’ (which means something totally different!). Language and grammar have always been my strong points but for some reason, the one word I just couldn’t get my head around at school was ‘guarantee’. I was spelling it phonetically, like ‘garuntee’, until I was about 20. So don’t worry Darya, we all find elements of the language quite confusing!
Just a little English tip. "Funny" means something that makes you laugh. "Fun" is used to describe an activity that you enjoy. Here's some examples. The joke is funny. Going to the park is fun. Just thought I'd help a little bit. 👍🏼😃
Sound of this Mic is really great!
Learning another language takes a lot of guts. I started learning German and Danish as an adult/late teen and I struggle to pronounce so many words properly (especially in Danish) but I think it also may be because of my Aussie accent where we shorten sounds and don't finish the ending of words 😖
so proud you are brave enough to create amazing videos in another language! Love your videos xx
i love you darya!!!! im so happy to see your channel grow!!
I love this video! I always find it interesting to see how English is perceived from someone who is learning it as a second language! Even little mistakes that come from the differences between languages are interesting, because a lot of the time it's understandable what is meant and why the mistake was made!
You're doing amazingly well Darya and your continuous improvement is so impressive!
Baby talk in English more or less boils down to throwing away syllables and ending works with y. So favorite would be favey. Changing inflection, drawing out syllables, and repeating the word but replacing the first consonant with w are also methods employed.
how does she whisper better than everyone else !!! omg
There actually is a word for "sexy jokes". Its another hard word: Innuendo.
Man I remember when you were just starting to make English vids apologizing for your English haha now you're talking much faster and more confident with it. It's been cool to see that progression.
im new to your channel but your voice and accent is perfect!! love your energy
English is super hard because words aren't written how they sound at all! My mum struggles and she (as well as me and my entire family) was born in England. It's her first language!! 😂 I think you do a great job ♥
So glad you are back
Meat and meet might be easy to remember if you see the word eat in the one that is food
Another two similar words are "there " and "their " as you can see in the second one there is the word heir as in "Heir to the throne" that is a nice easy way to remember how it's spelt so the word their is like "Their own hat" so is describing something that belongs to a person the other there is said for a place like "Over there" or is for something that you do " There was nothing to do"
This is a lovely video darya your English is fantastic
I love the new Octava microphone sound. Congratulations on almost 200K subscribers. Wowwww
She has such a lovely voice
Luv the hair! You always look so great )
Also, your voice and accent are so pleasant, that I think you could probably say anything and it would not be boring
My opinion of this mic...
Soft spoken : okay
Whispering : really good
Tapping : AMAZING!
This is adorable - I want to help you pronounce all the words - great video!!
Love this video! It was very entertaining watching you pronounce those words! As a native speaker, I can only imagine how difficult those would be to learn how to say.
i love how you work with the colors
Very interesting video. Your soft speaking voice was very relaxing.
Happy International ASMR Day! 🎇 Your videos have been such a great help. Thank you so much!
I love this video Darya! The transition trigger is amazing, tingles every time!! Thank you for all you do and congrats on 200k, you deserve it!! And to spell "successful", just remember double the C, double the S and you'll always have success! :)
Love the dreads it really suits you
The way you say “bitch” made me tingly and sleepy😂
English is my native language and I can barely say any of these words myself lmao
This is really interesting! I've always thought English didn't have many tricky sounds, but obviously it does! I know a lot of the time the word sounds very different to how you would think from the way it's spelled, but I didn't realise there were some sounds, like in "clothes", that are hard for non-native speakers to say. I think it's incredible that so many people speak a second language, especially English, so don't worry about the way you pronounce some words! You look super cute in this video as well 😊
