Should You Quit Learning Russian Language
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ต.ค. 2018
- This is something that I would advise myself if I were in doubt about learning a language. Hopefully it can be helpful to you too!
Questions:
1. What made you start learning?
2. What makes you keep going?
3. What are the benefits of learning Russian?
4. Is the sacrifice worth the outcome?

It is as difficult as it is rewarding
No it's not😂 maybe for some people only
Learning a new language is a never ending process. I've been learning english since I was 8 years old and now I'm 22 years old, and I never stop learning english. Same with Russian language, I will never quit.
That's so true and also part of beauty of it, i will never stop learning, i don't want to stop learning.
Diego R. Exactly
this is the right approach in learning foreign language, you have to turn it into a part of your life and it is a lifetime learning process as you have already said!
Да отлично
Have you quit yet
Well for me it is like an obsession. I like the melody of the russian language. I also think that it is a very mysterious language. Every time I learn a new word or a new rule about russian I feel like I am one step closer to a very big secret that will be clear for me. I just need to learn it. :))
It’s great the some people think that you are a native English speaker! Motivation is key and as you pointed out trying to discover why you lost motivation (got discouraged) One concept is to find how to make learning fun each day so the reward is not just at “the end”
Russian is a beautiful language❤️
I love a russian girl and i want to live with her and communicate with her easily
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@nickde6339 .. it is true
i know, theyre hot..
Same bro
Are you married to her now? 😂
This video were a good motivation for me to do this week's russian homework. I really needed it
The more Russian you learn the more complicated it gets. You think the first few months were rough? LOL, wait until year one or two........
I'm up to it...I think!
lol thx for the motivation
I learn russian language because I want to watch lenin's original book LOL
Just can't stop learning Russian. It's not going to be of much practical use. Но это просто мой любимый иностроный язык. Это как музыка
I started in 2018 as a hobby since discovering its beauty in music. Since then, I have had several durations of "giving up" and was intimidated o go back because all that I forgot. Well, I realized it's not always a linear process! and lately I have spent more time on Duo than anything because in the end it gives me happiness and fulfillment. With how rocky the world is lately, it helps me cope and keep my mind busy, and also not rot my brain watching TV shows relentlessly. I started writing russian this week and the only thing I regret is not starting sooner! Thank you for your videos, you helped me realized it's become more than just wanting to understand lyrics but possibly preparing for a future in Russia! :)
Good content as always. I'm studying Russian at University and I'm following this channel because offer more details than the books I have. At the beginning was very hard to memorise cases and in particular I'm still struggling with participles,but once you study the rules,increase your vocabulary and study the words with the respective cases it will be more easy to understand and do many exercises as you can. Thx again for your lessons :)
We never stop! Your videos are amazing! These are the best Russian learning videos on TH-cam, hands down! Thank you. I wake up and the first things I think of are what I’ve learned from these videos :) I started learning Russian because I heard a song while living in Turkey called Медина. Do you know it? I heard this song and listened to it probably a thousand times, then for that following week watched A TON of Russian learning videos. First I learned the Cyrillic alphabet then went on to your videos. Why am I learning? Honestly I’m the type of person that loves to experience other cultures. Hence why I’m here in Turkey. Russian has so many brilliant thinkers, philosophers, mathematicians and so on...Yes of course it’s worth it and despite the difficulty for me it has always been a delightful challenge and never depletes my motivation but rather adds to it. Very happy learning Russian, thank you for these videos. I love them so much. благодарю вас ❤️ TH-cam is amazing because you never know whose lives you touched. Keep going! You’re awesome 😚
I feel like the reasons I continue to learn Russian and the same as when I first started 1 year ago. I got a taste of traveling in Eastern Europe, met a Kazakh friend in the US, want to be able to have a deeper enjoyment of Russian culture, and want to be able to make Russian friends. These are still the payoffs I'm working towards.
Wonderful video, thanks! I stopped learning Russian about 16-17 yrs ago after I travelled to Russia three times. What little I learned was still useful for me in being able to get by, like reserving rooms in hotels, buying train tickets, ordering food, etc. I started to re-learn Russian 2 months ago when I decided that travelling around Eastern Europe (incl. Russia, Belarus and Ukraine) would be my priority in this new decade (despite COVID-19), including countries where it might be understood as a second language, at least for the older people. I went to Serbia last December - relearning the Cyrillic alphabet helped.
This was moving, and solidifying. My life, and the lives of people within my sphere will benefit through the effort in ways that can't even be predicted; much like how YOUR choice, Фёдор, to master English as indeed you have has had an altering influence within the cosmos of these many thousands of people pursuing this common goal.
My native language is Spanish, I came to the USA at the age of 24, now I am 60, and I have master English at a very high professional level; then I heard from experts that learning a new language helps to delay Alzheimer disease; so here I am. After two years, I now can read in Russian 60%, understand 30%, speak 15 %. All this studying on my own using Y-T videos here and there. I picked Russian for its uniqueness and interesting culture; not knowing the level of difficulty, but now, I love it! The concepts and philosophy about life, embedded into the language, are very fascinating to me. My goal is to master it as soon as possible. Thank you Fedor for the encouragement. Your lessons are great! Keep it up!
I’m trying to learn purely for a hobby. I find it mentally stimulating and although it’s difficult and frustrating I think you have to try and enjoy the process. The difficulty is a reason enough for me since it’s a challenge.
I really appreciate you being honest with us in this video. I think most teachers just say “no, don’t quit!” But they never want to look at it critically. Watching this made me realize that learning Russian is one of the few things I wanted to do just for myself. And for that reason, I am going to continue learning. However, life is busy and I can’t study as hard as I was. At least for a while.
Thank you for presenting such honest questions.
Your videos help me so much. Duolingo is fun, but your videos help me understand what I'm learning. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for this Fedor.
We are happy that you have made that sacrifice for us! I have a dual degree in Russian Studies and English Literature. Although I can speak Russian, I dont feel fluent in it. Your tutorials are a big boost for me! Cpacebo!
Awesome advice bro! Thanks Fedor!
That was amazing, thank you 😊💙
Thank you very much for this video!
I’m learning Russian because I want to watch some awesome Russian movies.
Fedor this was awesome! Provocative! Smart! Personal!
Your videos are making a huge difference for me - I am so grateful!
Your channel has been a welcome part of my Russian language journey. Thanks for your content and insight!
Hi fedor , thank's for all videos you posted they're all too good and you teach the russian language as simply as it can be thank's брат
And any language you learn it's not just about language it bring us their culture, country, life,history, and love...
Now I can speak 6 language's and i'm not sad to the days that i suffered to learn it , I believe : in all dark day's, there is some light , it might be too far but there is!
Good topic. I am just about at the 4yr mark with Russian language. I have done 7 days a week for 1 year. I use Rosetta Stone, Duo lingo, and some books. My vocabulary is good, have the alphabet down, and can read/ decipher written text, but I can not form sentences. Doesn't help that there are no Russians in my area.
Jay Jones that’s great! 👏👏👏👏👏
I needed this! I have been considering a break to learn Spanish. I think I might. I need to reconsider my goals because I have difficulty finding speakers .
Hello Fedor! Great video. Of course, the answers are different for everyone. The benefits for me are still worth it. Although I can't devote as much time as I used to, I remind myself that there is no finish line. I have learned to be happy with giving it as much time as I can. Sometimes I get better fast, other times it has to wait. But I find that every new breakthrough ( "oh, that's how that works!") is enough to keep me going. It helps that I now have a HelloTalk friend who I just adore and can't wait to meet! Still one of the most interesting and rewarding things I've attempted to do. Keep up the good work!
Good video. I've taken small babysteps in learning Russian. I want to learn the language because I'd love to work in Russia someday in the future.
The Russian language is difficult, however, I desire to learn Russian. I’ve set goals wanting to travel there as a missionary to develop shelters for homeless children and make a way for those that want to come to the United States. Although there will be interpreters, one should possess the ability to speak with the people they’re reaching out to help. I want to be able to speak with the children in their language.
Thank you!
YOU QUIT FRENCH ? I started to learn russian in february this year, couple hours a day, like 2/3, i already know words like жабры, колодец, тяговооруженность, известняк, сланец ... My goal was “mastering” russian за год, and i guess i got some great work done. I’m a native french speaker, I speak fluently in English, I moved to canada and now I’m learning Russian, I read and listen as much as I can, my GF actually is Russian and she learns French so... Really good motivation, good luck to everyone for learning this language (russian), i know sometimes its fun, and sometimes its less ...
I started Russian just because it's aesthetic asf. It's simply a hella beautiful language. Nothin' more nothin' less.
Russian wouldnt make me achieve anything ^^' I only have 2 russian "friends" at my school and even there I dont need it cuz they speak german fluently. 😅
I have no rational reason for learning russian. I just love this language 😅
Didnt even choose Russian in School (I chose french) I only learn Russian in my free time. I do NOT know if its worth the effort but I will NOT stop 😅
good questions.
It's probably not worth the time but I've gotta do SOMETHING while waiting to grow old and die. I started because I was bored with most everything else.
i will never quit. i love russia. and you're the best teacher.
Russian is very difficult but I’m a big hockey fan and would love to follow KHL and understand articles and interviews. I’m enjoying the process of learning not frustrated or anything just going to take time. Hockey my only passion in life I’ll get this eventually thanks for the videos.
I had learned a little French in High schol that I still remember or recognize today. That was a big struggle for me while learning Russian, certain words sound similar when spoken and it was hard for me at first to understand which meaning the word was for.
French is beautiful and Russian is beautiful. I love learning languages.
One day I will go back to French as well, and learn deeper. But I am only about 4 months into Russian :)
I love the Russian language. I deeply appreciate your videos they are so detailed and helpful.
The answer, my friend, is an emphatic NO.
Thank you for everything
Till me to just put momentum to it, cz most people want to just doing and by these questions u made it more difficult to answer, i do it as a hobby it doesn't have to be that complicated.
hello from from Saudi Arabia
Hi Fedor! This video really resonated with me. I have been teaching myself Russian for
several years on and off now (on and off because, as I have no one to converse
with, I get soo get frustrated and upset when I feel I am stagnating that I lose
hope and give up which results in me forgetting everything I have learned when
I come back to try to pick it up at a later date!) So, I cannot seem to
progress my vocab, speaking, listening or writing skills. I know that I am so
nervous about my pronunciation and have no confidence in speaking Russian as I
have no one to practice with and no real structure to how I am trying to learn
it. I want to travel Russia for my 30th birthday in October 2020 so I really really want to try hard to improve now that I have a goal and motivation to work towards, as I will be travelling to Russia alone and need to
be able to navigate the country and all that entails being a geeky tourist. Can
your course help me ? In reality, I need a Russian husband so I have someone to constantly practice with ;) !
I feel I learn best in a structured learning environment
but even so, when watching your videos I have a terrible memory and struggle to
remember new words, which again leaves me feeling that my journey to becoming
fluent in Russian is hopeless. I would like a teacher and I enjoy your style of
teaching so I am considering the 129.99 option but just would like some advice
on how you may be able to help me after this 30 day course finishes?
Many thanks
Bolshoy spasibo za tvoy pomogu !!

(I am on Facebook and the only ‘Ionie-Lee Smallwood’ on the
entirety of Facebook if you would like to add me)
you should tell us more about how you came over to the US, how was the process like, were you top notch student who received a scholarship? and did you see many Americans studying abroad there?
Difficult, but sounds badass.
😊 Thanks
I started because of a girl jeje
Then Im still learning it because of my curiosity and free time
My goals are expanding my future opportunities to travel or knowing something great instead wasting my time in nothing
Idk if it will be my most useful thing but I will be able to make more stuff that I even dont know someday so yeah I liked that girl by the way....
That's video really for me. At the moment I doubt about it.
I play a lot of computer games and watch movies with Russian in them and always wanted to be able to understand it but never had the motivation to learn. Until I met a Russian woman. She impressed me so much with her English, her intelligence and personality that I started to learn. 2 months later I found out she was married but I continue to learn because even as a freind, she is more than worth the effort. Plus, I never finish anything and I want to change that.

How can i ever speak to devushka if i quit learning russian do you see why its so important and worthy to learn :)
I started learning russian because when i first ever tried to say something in russian my pronunciation was really good and i figure i could learn it pretty easy
I'm just trying to learn so Call of Duty and Battlefield can feel more immersive.
I do it and I come back to it because of a tremendous desire.
I'm learning Russian for 2 months now and I truly love this language, how it can be elegant and rich. I learned to appreciate every nuances of it, even though I'm still a very beginner, but I've done so much progress in these 2 months that I'm even more motivated to continue. I've always been fascinated by this huge and strange country, so different from mine, and after I met a Russian boy I decided to start learning the language.
I'm Italian, I realised that there are so many similarities between Russian and Italian, and this makes me enthusiastic and always curious.
I speak English fluently and I've learned French when I was a little girl, I'm very aware that Russian is a hard language but I'm not afraid from it. I think learning a language can change your life in better, even if minimally.
What actually is so discouraging is my own grasp of English. I’m a native English speaker and every time I chat with friends, every time I watch comedy or listen to all the slangs, idioms and word contractions in English, I keep thinking there’s no way I would have been able to learn all this if I hadn’t grown up here and made friends here and gone to school from beginning to end here. What are my chances of learning Russian and becoming proficient in the same way without the same opportunity? I have a life here, I certainly can’t move to Russia to immerse myself. I’m limited to internet resources and probably a couple of lessons with a tutor weekly. Am I wasting my time??? There’s also the added discouragement that for practical reasons, I really don’t need to learn any other languages. English, for better or worse is the lingua-franca of most of the world. Why torture myself? But I try to keep myself motivated by celebrating the little wins. By continuing on a little every day, I know just a little more than the day before. And maybe I’ll never become fluent, but at least I’m learning something new. But yeah it’s frustrating and hard.
Interesting video. Especially for me as i don't have a great answer to most of the questions; I started because i had always wanted too since i was maybe 16 or 17, but its very hard in Australia as there are few russians. You can't do it at school, you can't do it at most universities and doing it at a language school can be hard to fit in with your schedule. I decided to start because i met a great girl who is my co worker and is russian. I realised hey now i have a chance to speak to a native to help me learn so decided during quarentine to go and do duolingo. Not satisfied with that course i then found youtube and started doing a combination of youtube, duolingo and speaking with my co worker.
What benefits will i get? Probably not that much to be honest outside of the satisfaction of being able to speak a langauge that very few people in my country can speak. If i get good at it, i might apply to transfer to my companies Moscow office for a year or two to make use of it and have a bit of an adventure. But reality is outside of that i am just doing it for myself. Oh and also to impress the girl, lets be real, impressing the girl is a part of it for sure. But she has a boyfriend already so i am realistic about my chances there. Great video, thank you.
Also would add, don't feel bad for qutting french, i learned french for like 10 years at school, went to france, everyone speaks english, hardly worth it at all. At least with Russian it makes a bit more sense because russians speak a lot less english than french/german/italian/spanish people, so you actually get to use it. When i tried to speak french everyone just told me 'i speak english'.....
I am 64 and always wanted to go to Russial I never give up. My perseverance gives me purpose.
Русский мой второй язык, Я говорю по-русски и по-английски, Я изучал за 4 месяцев, но я только А2, Я очень хорошо говорю по-русски для 13 лет. Я буду быть fluent!
(I am VERY surprised I pulled off making this paragraph, with me only not knowing 1 singular word.)
Я отвечаю на твои вопросы ( Я буду стараться, я не знаю, как говорить очень хорошо еще )
1) Я всегда хотел выучить иностранный язык, в котором есть свой алфавит Я был между арабским / иврит русский язык для меня был один из последних вариантов, потому что я считал их очень трудно Поэтому, когда я начал брать уроки иврита в качестве первого языка, мне было так же трудно, и я сказал попробовать русский в течение месяца. Сейчас я учусь на русском течение 2 лет я был неправ, что я думал, что это был трудный язык, и я бы не понял с первых уроков, которые я уже начал говорить немного каждый раз, Также здесь сказать, что я заметил, что русский похож на некоторые слова на греческом языке (по-моему всегда)
2) Я понял их очень быстро и как я уже писал выше, я уже начал говорить немного в каждом уроке
3) Я обнаруживаю новые культуры, новые привычки (Стиль жизни) и изучать новые вещи
4) Конечно, результат стоит его :)
Любовь заставляет меня двигаться вперед, независимо от того, получится у нас с ней или нет. Я надеюсь, что мы будем
This video has been very honest and soul searching for me. I've put 2 hours everyday for the last 6 months . I tried with a teacher and still could not find any happiness in learning Russian. I felt very little improvement for the hours of hard work. Always miserable and unmotivated so from this video I have decided to quit! Hand on my heart I tried my best and it wasn't enough...😪
Некоторые из этих слов мои, некоторые из них - из программы переводчика. На данный момент это не имеет значения.
1) Я хотел изучать русский язык, потому что мне нужно было добиться успеха на втором языке
2) Что-то о русском заставило меня полюбить этот язык. Возможно, это шаблоны, связанные с глаголами, существительными, прилагательными и местоимениями, может быть, это исключения))), может быть, это красивые люди, с которыми я сейчас общаюсь
3) Теперь я потратил много времени и много своих эмоций на изучение этого момента. Было бы трагично отбросить все мои усилия. И я почувствовал бы глубокое чувство потери.
4) Успешным (я знаю, что я не могу знать все, и это не важно) Я сделаю то, что я никогда не думал, что это возможно. Возможность говорить по-русски заставит меня почувствовать, что я взрываю от счастья.
Для меня русский похож на красивую женщину, которая меня преследует и соблазняет, а затем вознаграждает меня каждым новым приключением через мой опыт обучения. Остановка - это не вариант. Я знаю, что мне понадобится много лет (я медленный ученик), чтобы достигнуть точки беглости, но это дальняя гонка, а не спринт. )))
Russian is satysfying as crap bro
I'm going to post here my personal history.
1: It started back in 2014, I guess, when the Ukraine's revolution happened. I was watching western media and russian media. But a lot of information was in russian so, it was a block. Also, I work in cybersecurity and there's plenty of information in russian websites which I cannot read. This is my motivation. But when the motivation started I just tried to know the letters and pronunciation. Then, I stopped. 6 years later, here I am. Why? I work with an Ukrainian person (two actually but not as often). So far, I made a lot of progress but still, I need at least 1000 hours to be able to at least express myself without hard issues.
2: My goals are to write and read proper russian. I don't need to speak it well. I just need to have the skills to understand what people are saying on the news, on dark stuff forums and so on. Of course, I want also to look cool by speaking with my coworker in russian and my friends are like "wtf! spies! :D" joking ofc.
3: I will be able to understand more stuff and also kill fake news when people misleading translations. And look cool. 😎
4: Well, apart of point 3, it trains my brain in different way.
I don't know how I learned English. To be honest I was bad at it, back in school, but when I started to play games online with team play, I made a really really high jump on knowing ok (at least reading was ok) to pretty much fluent. I speak English like in my native tongue (almost). Sometimes I think in English, sometimes in Portuguese, it really depends. I'm too much exposed to this language (I work on a company that there are a lot of people around the world, so English is critical).
Another language I was studying, in school, was French. It's easy compared to Russian. And to be honest. I would "profit" more by knowing French than Russian. Anyway, I lost it because I didn't practice much and I hate it. :)
I do around 30-60 minutes russian everyday and I do it because I think russian is a cool language and it would be so fun to know russian and I am sure I will be happy in the future I learned Russian but it's hard but I still love the language and I am not thinking about quitting any time soon...
Russian is a hard language to learn, I was learning Russian a year or two ago and it was very hard so I gave up, but I came back to learning it now and despite the difficulty I will continue and not give up because I like the language. And I want to challenge myself.
Hello Fedor,
Is there a job market for English speaking CPAs in Russia? If so I'm going to continue with my plan of Russian minor with Accounting major.
Thanks!
Well, I didn't have any specific goals for learning Russian, and still don't have any, except that it can make me communicate with many peoples from the post USSR countries.
Talking about the difficulty, actually, Russian is not extremely difficult, it is nearly at the same difficulty of French, and I can speak French fluently as a second language, where my native language is Arabic.
For me it's not to hard because , i speak Spanish also and the grammar and pronunciation it very similar on my opinion. Ademas me gusta mucho el hidioma russo y sus cultura.
Thank you! I am trying and trying, and at this point I sound like a Russian 5 year old with brain damage....but, it's progress.
I've started to learn Russian in the view of travelling on the Trans-siberian train and being able to communicate with people. Started about 1 year ago with a Russian lady giving me a tuition 1 hour a week (I know it's not a lot) here in France. I arrived at a point where I realized I had learnt a lot grammatically and also the vocabulary. Maybe too much. It became all confused. So I stopped the lessons 4 months ago and I don't know if I'll return to it. I love the language and Iwould be very proud to speak a little of Russian. I don't know if I'll be courageous enough to learn more or if Ishould only focus to the vocabulary knowing I'll never be fluent (I'm 57 yo and learning at this age is more difficult than when younger).
Any idea? Thanks
I started learning Russian because all the cyka blayt cheki breki jokes at my school and i am still learning Russian because it is so cool and beautiful and the reward of being able to communicate is really nice and I am struggling since it is really hard thx.
My problem is that I love the language but it's not very useful to me, at the moment the goal of my life is to move to Japan so now I'm focusing on learning Japanese because that would be actually useful for me. I still like Russian and I want to learn it someday but I think you're right, I'll focus on the more important things for now.
I started learning Russian 2 years ago. The purpose behind it was to communicate with a friend in Ukraine. I struggled... allot. I had a willingness to learn because I seen the circumstances of how people live in Ukraine and Russia. 2 years fast forward I can walk into a Russian grocery store and have small talk with the locals. Russians understand me, they say you can speak but mistakes. The more you study this language the less difficult it becomes. Most people are shocked because I'm a black guy and the first question they ask is "pochemu tbl hatchu govorit russuki yazik :) "
Hello Fedor,
I want some help. I'm planning to learn Russian language by watching movies having Russian subtitles. So while I'm trying to do it what all things should I keep in my head so as to make the most out of it? And how can I prevent translating words in my head, because I'm way too beginner for monolingual dictionary?
@Not Bugarev I don't have any personal Russian language teacher to teach me. I'm just into self tutoring, so I just teach myself Russian by watching videos on TH-cam and listening to songs. I'm also trying to learn Russian by watching movies. So that's why I asked
@@arunimasaha4171 Try doing an online course like duolingo (free), it's not perfect but it gives some structure to the learning and helps explain things. Movie translations wont help you understand the language, just remember what words translate too from one language to another. This doesn't teach you how to form sentences and so on.
I tried Russian solely to torture myself. It's been a resounding success. My frustrations are sky high and and my basic proficiencies are rock bottom. I have no intention to stop.
Russian is extremely hard. I have been learning Russian for around a year and I only know the basics- A1.
Questions:
1. I work for a language school which is originally Russian
-Ukranian
2. To become fluent, I have learnt other languages before, so I know how success feels like
3. I will do better at my job and it will be my 5th language, plus I will be one of the top employees
4. It will be absolutely worth it
I almost quit after learning Russian isn't as widely used in ex-Soviet countries as I thought (now only ppl older than like 40 speak Russian in those countries).
I was planning on learning Russian to use it in Eastern European countries that don't use a lot of English.
I ended up recognizing that my initial goals with Russian are also to read literature like Dostoevsky in native Russian, better understanding Russian perspective of international relations, and to work with Russian researchers. Now I continue working steadfastly in learning Russian)
Russian is a cute and beautiful language.
And Russia has a literary and poetic rich culture. And because I am Portuguese, I want my kids to learn Russian as a second language, because English is everywhere, and French, Italian and Spanish are easy for us.
когда придет день разочарования, я спою песню Тони "я не понимаю, как я не понимаю по-русски".
I have a humble suggestion, perhaps it is good, perhaps not, but maybe it is a good idea to try and immerse oneself in the language as much as possible, even if not living in a Russian speaking country. For example you could watch Russian TV series, movies etc, watch Russian TH-cam videos.
Lol, no one in this world would understand my main reason. It's to do with the occult power influence, a few people might think or understand what I am after
I learn Russian just for fun, especially because of an upcoming vacation, and I don't take it too serious. Another benefit is that I can mess with my Ukraine coworkers :-D
Growing up in East Germany, I had Russian for eight years in school, and despite being in my forties now, I still remember quite a lot, so it's not a big deal. E.g. it's nice if you already know the alphabet, or if things "sound" correct, even if I don't know the exact rules anymore.
