I suppose, it's the same reason people look at themselves in the mirror. It's often interesting how do you look (or in this case, sound) to other people.
На самом деле это зависит от региона России. В Москве говорят МАЛАКО, а в Мурманске и Архангельске - МOЛОКО. Потому что в Москве значительная часть слов с буквой О произносятся через букву А, а в Мурманске и Архангельске наоборот. So that’s why both variants of мoлоко are actually acceptable. А в Коми и Марий Эл тараторят так, что большинство русских не успевает за их речью. Это не говоря уже о народах, у которых вообще свой язык есть. Они значительно обогащают русский язык своим акцентом или словами из своих языков, а в свой язык добавляют заимствования из русского для слов которых в их языке не существует. Так и живём.
As a Russian speaker I really like how precisely and deeply the author described the main challenges in Russian. Definitely I would recommend this video to all Russian learners
As a Ukrainian speaker, I really can say you better don't learn russian. Because Ukrainian was used to create russian and russian has not enough words and logic. This is why that "esperanto" looks so difficult. They can't decide how will be "familia" in russian. They are chauvinists and this is why they lose.

I've been using English at work as I'm a developer in UK company. Но мой родной язык русский. И каждый раз, когда меня начинают бесить фразовые глаголы, артикли, perfect tenses, conditional sentences, I start watching videos where foreigners explain how and why Russian is so difficult to learn. И сразу на душе спокойно 😅
Ну, у русских тоже проблемы при изучении английского. Практически зеркальная ситуация. По себе могу сказать что я до сих пор не понимаю seen и saw, и использую их по настроению. Так же You and me и You and I заставляли проморгаться. Поэтому можно утешать коллег с тем что переучиться найти склонение каждому слову, тоже было не просто.

I'm Russian, who's trying to learn French. There are so many things that do not make any sense in French for me, but every time I get frustrated by exceptions or legacy rules, I imagine that at this very moment a person from France is trying to learn Russian and suffers more than I do. It comforts me.
Funnily enough, French is way more consistent with its rules compared to English and Russian, French is also way closer to Russian than English is, due to the influence it had on Russian cultural elite when the language was still consolidating. All in all French is probably the easiest language to learn for a Russian speaker outside of the Slavic group.
As a russian, I'm very proud of all people who can say even "hello" in russian. When I worked as a cashier at the grocery store, one day a four koreans (two girls and two boys) came and they said "здравствуйте", "ещё напиток" и "до свидания" and it was so cute! Don't be afraid, just try to talk!
"Никто никому ничего не должен". There are four negations in the sentence! It seems to be very awkward for native English speakers.😂❤ Thank you for making me look at my language from the outside!

I'm in the very beggining, using the Assimil Course. I feel like a child getting literate for the first time. New alphabet, absolutely new words... It's very fun, but at the same time scary. My goal is to be able to read poems and prose in russian, especially the old authors like Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, etc. And be able to have a good conversation. Hope i can get this level in 2 years
sorry to break your dream... but you will struggle more than you think with russian.... speaking in two years is not realistic...wait to see the grammar...😔 i held my laugh when you said understanding poems in two years.. well good luck with that.. 🤣
It's a bit difficult to say without knowing your background (native language, language learning experience, age, etc), but I think if you take a solid approach that should be possible. Now, you won't understand 100% of those books and poetry, but even native speakers cannot haha.
I am a native Russian speaker and a language nerd so just for fun I’ve taken a course of teaching Russian as foreign language. And damn…. I’ve always known it’s a hard language but looking at it from a foreigner’s perspective…. it’s just intolerable. Prepositions literally made me cry. Rooting for anyone who is brave enough to start this language
Are you not a Russian speaker? Does Russian really sound soft? I have often heard that it sounds very rude to foreigners because of our hard sounds and the letter R, especially for Germans
когда вы перешли к теме совершенных и несовершенных глаголов, я прям прослезился. в таких логических мякотках и есть прикол русского языка. и самим русским далеко не всем легко это даётся - я помню начальную школу, как многие тупили на подобных темах и хватали двояки. эх, смотрю на вас, и тоже захотелось изучить какой-нибудь новый сложный язык, дать себе новый вызов, так сказать. вы молодец.
@@mdegtiarev You will live a long time before you hear another non-russian, non-former-soviet person reproduce Russian with such fidelity. I'm almost 40 and have thus far encountered 3-4 people on the internet or IRL who learned Russian as adults and have a passable Russian pronunciation.
Great, I "learned" some Russian at high school (not compulsory) for 3 years, one hour per week. 55 years ago. My motiv was to also learn a slavic language. German native, English fluent, Latin, French soso. Anyway visited Russia some years ago , Moskva and St Peterburg. Amazing how many signs I could read, buy tickets, dine out, it was fun. Presently reviving/learning two other languages from the past , but Russian is on my scope for after them. I like your entry lesson, nothing new, but very well presented. Spion in German is very close with Russian, in writing and pronounciation. Kitan for China/-ese is a very interesting historical root. All the best. I would prefer to call Russian a rich language, not a difficult one.
You're absolutely right there is a lot of russian words derived from german language. My favorite one is Апельсин what means an Orange! German word Apfelsine litteraly translated as an Apple from China. There is a funny word Шаромыжник.This word means a bogan and this came from french language Cher Ami.

Well, to be fair he's got his accent in Russian. You can clearly say he's not a native speaker. But still his pronunciation is one of the best I've heard from foreigners so far
Russian is a simple language! Just remember all the endings, suffixes, prefixes, tenses, cases, genders, punctuation spelling, accents, declensions, participles and adverbs, semantic construction of the sentence, pronouns, quantitative changes, phonetic transcriptions and a ton of other small nuances... And you can juggle words as you like)
I'm from Moscow. I swear your pronunciation of some phrases is perfect and has a clearly moscow accent!😁 At first I thought that you're a native speaker! I think If I weren't Russian I wouldn't have learned this language😁 Good luck :)
Damn, I'm a native Spanish speaker and I sometimes realize that that language is also very difficult, because we have a lot of changes in the words for each time and case, and it has accent marks which can change the meaning of the words. And I'm on my way to learn Russian
Spanish is the easiest language in the world as for the vowels and stress, I just love it, the most logical language system. Vaya, me encanta el castellano de verdad 💪 Y sí, las eRRes en ruso y español son bastante similares, me gusta la R vibrante como en español, italiano o ruso que sea suave o fuerte, esa R latina romana eslava :))
Great video and thank you! This is a refresher for me and you have inspired me to re-learn Russian. The cases were definitely a struggle for me, so were the imperfective and perfective verbs. My approach used to consist of taking references (from samples of native speakers dialogues/charts with examples) and memorize them from there. As you can see, I never really learned the grammars thoroughly and in isolation for me to be able to use them independently (in daily conversations). However, even if I did not know the grammars well, my vocabularies helped me a ton to have a small conversations with the native speakers and they were able to understand me. It is important to MAKE MISTAKES and to LEARN FROM THEM. It is crucial to our learning journey because it reinforces what we have forgotten and challenge the ones we already know. Best of luck to everyone learning the Russian language, удачи с вами! 🤗
Хорошие советы. Половина применима вообще к любому языку, вторая половина применима после (не)большой модификации. Ари, мне так нравится слушать, с какой любовью вы говорите о русском языке!
Nice explanation about word endings, thanks! Russians use this as a partial replacement of the complex English tense system. There is only 3 tense in Russian so when there is 16 of it - for Russian native this becomes mind-blowing :)

@@ob_dowboosh , "бегать" и "бежать" это вроде как разные слова. У них похожий смысл, но "бегать" означает многократное действие, а "бежать" - однократное. Поэтому вы сейчас написали склонение по временам двух глаголов, поэтому получилось шесть.

By the way, though in these times Russian at schools is not taught, I see that even in The Czech Republic more and more people are interested in learning Russian ( especially my generation that had obligatory Russian lessons at school!) Lot of us we are trying to brush it. But in small towns it is difficult to find teachers... Privjetik! iz Čechii 🇨🇿❤
As a Russian speaker should say - this guy totally right. Do Not Try immediately learn everything and use everything you learned. We understand how crazy our language is, and even if you use just basic forms of words we amased. Yes, it not sounds pretty, but we will understand you (ehm... in most cases). And after you have basic language - try to improve, not before. Also he talk about it only a little, but yes, system - is only way to do it, things like "i will listen native input" does not work here, no way your brain handle 6 cases, 3 conjugation, 3 pov and mix of all of this in one time.

This is a fantastic way of describing Russian grammar. As a beginner, I came to the point you make about taking it easy with the grammar lessons and simply “having fun” listening to pop music, doing simple Russian to English translations, and memorizing useful sentences like “hello, how are you, nice to meet you.” The case system seems overwhelming, so I want to downplay that right now
Your advice is good. I speak several languages and I am learning Russian . I give this kind of advice to anyone who tells me they are interested in learning languages.

I am a Russian speaker, it is my native language, I have been learning English slowly throughout my life. Your Russian is very good, you are a great fellow
I watch Russian series every night when I go to bed. Two things I notice: 1. The stresses are everywhere - I commonly hear the word ничего for instance, pronounced with stresses on any of the three syllables. 2. It doesn't matter, because when you listen to Russian enough, every word has its own distinctive sound. Words like что are thrown in everywhere, but you always catch it because of that 'sht' sound at the beginning. None of that helps with learning it per se, but it does - It's just like when I hear English spoken really fast or from different accents - I still understand it because of the basic sounds. Russian has those too. Watching Russian series has helped ease my apprehension of approaching the language a bit, because I have gotten used to people just talking about general stuff in regular conversations. It is one of the best ways to get started, watching something like Seinfeld (9 seasons on Netflix with Russian dubs) I hear these everyday conversations when I go to sleep and, yeah.. the stuff you worry about, especially when you hear how casually it's spoken, kinda goes away.
Вы вводите людей в заблуждение: Слово "ничегО" (ничегО нет, ничегО не скажу)произносится с ударением ТОЛЬКО на последнем слоге. Слово "нЕчего"(нЕчего есть , нЕчего сказать..) произносится с ударением ТОЛЬКО на первом слоге и имеет другое значение,чем ничегО: "нИчегО","нЕчего" - разное написание,произношение и значение. (Moscow, Russia)
Ничего always has the stress on the last vowel "o" with no exceptions. Что might be ubiquitous because it is less often omitted than English "that" in constructions like "I think that you're right". Nonetheless, don't hesitate to omit it in simple phrases to make them sound nicer. Думаю, Вы правы. Have a good luck!
@@Darkdally I am serbia, I dont spek russian but I can undestand what is going on here . нИчегО is nothing , нЕчего is something .It similar to many slavic languages , on serbian is ништа and нешто. We even have word нечега , I remember нечега (something ). All are same base , but in diffrent language its developed differently
As a russian native speaker I’m totally agree with you. When I started to learn foreign languages, I tried to imagine how difficult would it be - to learn russian. And at that moment I realized that it is soooo hard. If somebody would ask me why I use exactly this word or why that word has changed in so weird way in my russian speech - I have no clue. I don’t even know how to explain. Tons of complicated rules and a huge bunch of exceptions makes russian language unreasonably difficult.
Что значит "неоправданно"? Русский ни перед кем не должен оправдываться, потому что никому ничего не должен. Он уникален своей синтетичностью и уже поэтому не может не регулироваться "тоннами правил".
@@juliabartosh3365 @user-bp8sp6sf9y Русский не уникален в этом смысле. Приставки, обилие суффиксов свойственно всем славянским языкам. Да и в немецком тоже самое (кроме обилия суффиксов). Вообще русский из славянских даже не самый сложный. Словенский, польский и, возможно чешский даже сложнее.
@@norbath1650, я бы не сказала, что польский сложнее. Для меня он легче русского в плане структуры, языковой организации) Немецкий логичнее русского, поэтому легче усваивается. Но восприятие у всех разное, поэтому я понимаю, что мне может быть легко, а кому-то нет. И наоборот, конечно же

It's so interesting to watch videos about your native language. I'm learning English and your channel can give me a great experience, thank you. Subscribed.
I am Russian but watching these kinds of videos surprisingly helps me to understand the ways of approaching studies of other languages (conventionally less complicated then my native one). Audio learning is a big moment if not the most important of all. So thank you for reminding me that!
It’s also funny that when you speak Russian with mistakes, it is not perceived by the native speaker as something discordant, there is a certain charm in this and the person is basically surprised that you decided to learn Russian in the first place. To be honest, I don’t understand why foreigners generally decide to study Russian. I would be glad if you share what prompted you to study Russian. I am now working on a new method of learning Russian for foreigners, so that it is simple and understandable for them, and understanding the motivation for learning Russian by foreigners will greatly help me in my work.
I am a russian speaker who also has experience if learning english.When i met a boy who was learning russian i was stunned how he was able to say Я хочу Ты хочешь Он она оно хочет Мы хотим Вы хотите Они хотят. I am still trully amazed hahahah. By the way, some day i was teaching russian to chinese students. Damn, russian is so hard. The word фотографироваться (to take photo) was an indeed loop.

@@alicekrausova2715 я имею ввиду логику и последовательнось языка. Понимаешь, в русском языке необходимо учить каждый случай,каждую форму. В татарском намного больше правил и четче грамматика.

Они и правда сложные хахаха но русский намного сложнее, не могу представить какого это учить русский.
Sometimes I think how hard for students learning Russian is to pronounce even very popular Russian words like "мужчина", "женщина", "здравствуйте". Так, в слове "женщина" присутствует смягчённое "н", если его не смягчать, для иностранца, конечно, простительно, но будет очень заметно.

Does English make sense when it comes to pronunciation? If you look close, it has almost no rules and every word should be memorized. You just got used to the language and do not see the dark parts. So Russian stresses also should be learned through getting used to it by practicing mostly listening.

Luister jij naar engelse series die gedubbed zijn in het russisch met engels ondertitels erbij? tips zijn welkom!
Я думаю, что существует достаточно российских интернет ресурсов, где есть фильмы и сериалы на русском. Это для нас в России есть трудности в оплате иностранных ресурсов, потому что наши карты не принимают сейчас.
Ik vind gewoon Russische series met Engelse subs. Maar op Netflix kan je ook wel wat Engelse series vinden met Russische dub. Russische series zijn wel gemiddeld gezien wat minder dan Engelse maar wel relevanter qua taal/cultuur.
Your Russian is great! It’s amazing to see such an interest and attention to this language, especially these days. PS: actually we pronounce “млако”, the “а” between “м” and “л” is almost not vocal. :)
I am a Russian native speaker and I hardly know the rules of my language! I just read and read books and therefore I just know exactly how to spell each word and what forms it has, it automatically arises in the brain. But I remember that in the 1st grades we started learning Russian with the correct placement of accents, we even had such exercises where you need to place the accents yourself, we also read texts with already placed accents as the author showed!
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Попался шпион! In this case "Нет" at the beginning means that you disagree with the other person. "Да, это действительно не помогает" would be better.
It is funny that you say people will understand you if you make a mistake. I was asking a girl if she was ready to go, but I inadvertently used the masculine form of 'ready' because I had been working with and talking with guys all day. She looked at me as if I was an Alien speaking a language from another galaxy. She stared at me for a few seconds, then looked for help from my buddy who asked exactly what I asked but with the feminine word. She immediately answered him in the affirmative. Even he laughed at how lost she looked.
As I see you use "готов" instead "готова". It's an adjective and it have gender forms. But as you know the verbs (except past tense forms) don't have gender different forms. You can say "ты пойдёшь со мной?" instead "ты готова пойти/идти со мной?" Btw "Ты готова пойти/идти со мной?" is a kinda weird sentence and kinda scary bc it prepose that the girl have (unless you really ask if she is ready/good prepared for) to make a difficult decision/choice.
Привет Ари..I just started learning russian and I've stumbled upon the hard and soft consonants, cases and the verb conjugations. The thing is that I can't seem to pronounce the words correctly especially with щ and ш and the soft and hard consonants. Does it make a lot of difference since I am a beginner? Because I want to learn as much vocabulary as possible. I think it will waste my time trying to focus on correct pronunciation now. But wouldn't it be hard to correct myself later? I want your opinion on this
You're right. It doesn't make a lot of difference to focus on pronunciation now. Sure, don't ignore pronunciation 100%. But I've found that pronunciation tends to get better automatically IF you listen to a lot of spoken Russian (watch series, talk to natives, listen to music, etc). Focus on: - vocabulary - grammar - listening - speaking And then once you reach a decent conversational level, start focusing on the more difficult letters. Record yourself, show it to a native speaker and he can usually tell where to focus most (or send it to me if you're in one of my courses).
As a Russian, I can only agree that this difference is not so important. Learn the vocabulary first thing. When you know the words, it helps you to understand, to guess, at least, and to express yourself. Maybe, it will be grammatically incorrect...
sure thing, handle the vocabulary and grammar first. When you feel confident, grab a book on theoretical phonetics. I am not kidding. Pronunciation can't be learnt by imitation alone. You need to know how the speech apparatus functions
don't stress about grammar too much if you just started. imo, vocabulary comes first. verbs are difficult to master. start with nouns first. that's how they teach language at school and noun grammar much easier to learn once you understand the pattern. to know correct pronunciation it's better to hear it first and all the time, so, you could watch some kids cartoons that teach that to little kids or watch youtube or twich, or films in russian (if your level allows it), but keep in mind, some people could pronounce some words wrong, even native speakers. it's not a big mistake though, because not all of native speakers are linguists, so take it easy. 😉 I'm writing all this as russian native speaker. P.S. I use google all the time to correct my writing (this message included). English is too difficult in that case. I learned English by myself and make mistakes all the time, because what you hear doesn't = what you write. Even if I know pronunciation, I can't be sure I can write it correctly. At least, russian doesn't have "silent letter" problem in most cases ("ь" and "ъ" doesn't count, because they're silent by default). word "здравствуйте" is just one of the few exeptions (the only one?) we all need just to memorise (native speakers included).
As a native Russian speaker I think that you did an impressive jop in learning and speaking my mother tongue an you have a pretty good pronunciation of the words even doe you still make some mistakes here and there but keep going and the way you've structured the video is really good 🌹💙
instead of watching peppa pig translated to russian, you can watch russian cartoon for kids Смешарики, it is actually amazing and still beloved by both kids and adults
Re the cases. Can somebody explain why Russian nouns are taught one case at a time rather than teaching all the endings of a given declension at once? I speak an inflected language on a daily basis, plus I have extensive training in Latin (the only language before Russian that I acquired by formal study rather than getting more or less by osmosis), so cases as such don't faze me at all. But Latin textbooks present you with the entire declension of a given noun, all cases singular and plural, at the same time. I'm used to this and I found it incredibly disorientating that Russian pedagogy takes the approach of doing one case at a time. It's actually been the single most difficult thing about Russian cases for me and it really knocks me off my stride.
No clue actually. Maybe because most people do not have experience with Latin/case languages, so presenting all at the same time overwhelmes students. But that's just my experience.
I suppose this is because in the Russian language, the formation of cases obeys a fairly strict rule with almost completely absent exceptions. That's why it's enough to learn a word only in the nominative case, and then use the case formation rule to incline it by case.
@@merMLAB That's an interesting theory, but Latin has very strict rules as well. The difference being that in Latin you have to know the genitive as well as the nominative in order to decline a noun correctly. I'm wondering whether the one-case-at-a-time approach is just a newfangled way of doing things differently. I have actually seen an elementary Latin textbook that takes that approach and I thought it was weird there too!
Being a native russian, and from watching this kind of videos, i've come to realize that teaching russian to foreigners is completely different from what we had in school. I'm pretty sure we did all cases at once, if there even was such a thing. In our case it had more to do with analysis of WHY things are how they are, rather than HOW they are (because we already knew that, for the most part). For foreigners it may be the other way round, or both at once, with the emphasis on the latter, coupled with the fact that they have to memorize a shit load of things.
I speak a cased language too (Greek),and I studied Latin by the LLPSI book, which introduces cases one by one too. The book is written in a method that starts you from 0 (e.g. Rome is in Italy) and takes you chapter by chapter to more and more advanced sentences - each chapter deals with a grammatical aspect of the language. In that method, cases are introduced one by one, as they treated as some aspect of the language each, and some are more basic than others (Nominative -> accusative -> genitive -> dative -> ablative). I do not know what methodology the Russian textbooks use, but it may be motivated by similar ideas (Learn to say basic things first, we ll figure out more advanced stuff later). Of course this methodology targets people that can contain their enthusiasm and just be happy following the book.
"I was buying..." means process ("I was buying groceries during the last 15 minutes and could not answer your call"), "I bought..." means result ("I bought a bottle of milk"). Just as "I was doing" and "I completed / did". Same is between я читал (I was reading a book all day == process) and я прочитал (The book that I have just read is so interesting = result: I finished the book)
Падежи - это, пожалуй, самое глобально сложное для изучения... А ещё суффиксы и приставки, меняющие одно слово до неузнаваемости и противоположности смысла. А, ну и порядок слов - любой, а от этого меняется, подчас, весь смысл сказанного. P.s. Видео классное и информативное в этом смысле - спасибо.
A Russian speaker here, who absolutely loved your explanations of how to learn Russian :) Truly a great video! Will be making my English speaking children, who are learning Russian, subscribe to your channel!
Those tips about getting better at speaking part of the language is basically truth for any other language. I myself am russian, but from a young age i liked to listen to original voice work or english redub. It helped me get more fluent and eloquent. Some people can't even tell that english is not my native.
I never stopped to think that the accents (on syllables/vowels) in Russian are such a big deal. You have a good point though. I mean I've noticed almost the exactly same concept in Chinese and find it very difficult to wrap my head around that. I guess it's just a matter of exposure and practice, as you said. My favorite similar word in Russian, English and German is butter-brot :)
Both english and russian are my native languages, but i have never looked at russian from perspective of learning it while being an english speaker. Was fun and educational for me, thx for your efforts.
I'm Russian. Why did I just watch a 10 minute video of how to speak my own language?

In russian you read молоко and say малако. In english you read queue and say q. Thank you english
Here in US everyone drives on a parkway and parks in a driveway... Makes perfect sense!..
bomb, tomb, comb... I can go on forever....
На самом деле это зависит от региона России. В Москве говорят МАЛАКО, а в Мурманске и Архангельске - МOЛОКО. Потому что в Москве значительная часть слов с буквой О произносятся через букву А, а в Мурманске и Архангельске наоборот.
So that’s why both variants of мoлоко are actually acceptable.
А в Коми и Марий Эл тараторят так, что большинство русских не успевает за их речью. Это не говоря уже о народах, у которых вообще свой язык есть. Они значительно обогащают русский язык своим акцентом или словами из своих языков, а в свой язык добавляют заимствования из русского для слов которых в их языке не существует.
Так и живём.
Exactly!!!😂

Funnily enough, French is way more consistent with its rules compared to English and Russian, French is also way closer to Russian than English is, due to the influence it had on Russian cultural elite when the language was still consolidating.

Great video and thank you! This is a refresher for me and you have inspired me to re-learn Russian. The cases were definitely a struggle for me, so were the imperfective and perfective verbs. My approach used to consist of taking references (from samples of native speakers dialogues/charts with examples) and memorize them from there. As you can see, I never really learned the grammars thoroughly and in isolation for me to be able to use them independently (in daily conversations).
However, even if I did not know the grammars well, my vocabularies helped me a ton to have a small conversations with the native speakers and they were able to understand me. It is important to MAKE MISTAKES and to LEARN FROM THEM. It is crucial to our learning journey because it reinforces what we have forgotten and challenge the ones we already know.

I am a Russian speaker, it is my native language, I have been learning English slowly throughout my life. Your Russian is very good, you are a great fellow
I watch Russian series every night when I go to bed. Two things I notice: 1. The stresses are everywhere - I commonly hear the word ничего for instance, pronounced with stresses on any of the three syllables. 2. It doesn't matter, because when you listen to Russian enough, every word has its own distinctive sound. Words like что are thrown in everywhere, but you always catch it because of that 'sht' sound at the beginning.
None of that helps with learning it per se, but it does - It's just like when I hear English spoken really fast or from different accents - I still understand it because of the basic sounds. Russian has those too. Watching Russian series has helped ease my apprehension of approaching the language a bit, because I have gotten used to people just talking about general stuff in regular conversations. It is one of the best ways to get started, watching something like Seinfeld (9 seasons on Netflix with Russian dubs) I hear these everyday conversations when I go to sleep and, yeah.. the stuff you worry about, especially when you hear how casually it's spoken, kinda goes away.

Ничего always has the stress on the last vowel "o" with no exceptions. Что might be ubiquitous because it is less often omitted than English "that" in constructions like "I think that you're right". Nonetheless, don't hesitate to omit it in simple phrases to make them sound nicer. Думаю, Вы правы. Have a good luck!

As a russian native speaker I’m totally agree with you. When I started to learn foreign languages, I tried to imagine how difficult would it be - to learn russian. And at that moment I realized that it is soooo hard. If somebody would ask me why I use exactly this word or why that word has changed in so weird way in my russian speech - I have no clue. I don’t even know how to explain. Tons of complicated rules and a huge bunch of exceptions makes russian language unreasonably difficult.

Что значит "неоправданно"? Русский ни перед кем не должен оправдываться, потому что никому ничего не должен. Он уникален своей синтетичностью и уже поэтому не может не регулироваться "тоннами правил".
@@juliabartosh3365 @user-bp8sp6sf9y Русский не уникален в этом смысле. Приставки, обилие суффиксов свойственно всем славянским языкам. Да и в немецком тоже самое (кроме обилия суффиксов). Вообще русский из славянских даже не самый сложный. Словенский, польский и, возможно чешский даже сложнее.
@@norbath1650, я бы не сказала, что польский сложнее.

Happy to help!
I am Russian but watching these kinds of videos surprisingly helps me to understand the ways of approaching studies of other languages (conventionally less complicated then my native one). Audio learning is a big moment if not the most important of all. So thank you for reminding me that!
Спасибо за твою работу, чем больше людей изучают русский, тем больше людей думает по русски🎉
It’s also funny that when you speak Russian with mistakes, it is not perceived by the native speaker as something discordant, there is a certain charm in this and the person is basically surprised that you decided to learn Russian in the first place. To be honest, I don’t understand why foreigners generally decide to study Russian. I would be glad if you share what prompted you to study Russian. I am now working on a new method of learning Russian for foreigners, so that it is simple and understandable for them, and understanding the motivation for learning Russian by foreigners will greatly help me in my work.
I am a russian speaker who also has experience if learning english.When i met a boy who was learning russian i was stunned how he was able to say

I am still trully amazed hahahah. By the way, some day i was teaching russian to chinese students. Damn, russian is so hard. The word фотографироваться (to take photo) was an indeed loop. It is not obvious but russian is not my mother language. I talk a lot and use my true mother language and i love how it has logic and makes a lot of sence.

@@alicekrausova2715 я имею ввиду логику и последовательнось языка. Понимаешь, в русском языке необходимо учить каждый случай,каждую форму. В татарском намного больше правил и четче грамматика. Если бы вы учили кого-то русскому, то быстро поняли бы насколько он сложен в плане склонений. Кстати мой друг китаец(другой) после пары месяцев русского языка бросил эту затею. Другие еще пытаются... Самый сложный язык по рейтингу это мандарин китайский. Я считаю что так принято только из-за иероглифов. Они и правда сложные хахаха но русский намного сложнее, не могу представить какого это учить русский.
Sometimes I think how hard for students learning Russian is to pronounce even very popular Russian words like "мужчина", "женщина", "здравствуйте". Так, в слове "женщина" присутствует смягчённое "н", если его не смягчать, для иностранца, конечно, простительно, но будет очень заметно.

Does English make sense when it comes to pronunciation? If you look close, it has almost no rules and every word should be memorized. You just got used to the language and do not see the dark parts. So Russian stresses also should be learned through getting used to it by practicing mostly listening.
да, привычка приходит с практикой прослушивания и разговора. Слушаете и постепенно запоминаете где какие ударения. Но, нужно время для этого.

Ik luister veel naar russische muziek, dat zorgt ervoor dat kennis niet verwaterd en ik mn vocabulair kan uitbreiden. Ik heb alleen moeite met het vinden van rusissche series, hoe doe jij dat? Luister jij naar engelse series die gedubbed zijn in het russisch met engels ondertitels erbij? tips zijn welkom!
почему бы и нет, озвучка ведь русская
Я думаю, что существует достаточно российских интернет ресурсов, где есть фильмы и сериалы на русском. Это для нас в России есть трудности в оплате иностранных ресурсов, потому что наши карты не принимают сейчас.
Ik vind gewoon Russische series met Engelse subs. Maar op Netflix kan je ook wel wat Engelse series vinden met Russische dub. Russische series zijn wel gemiddeld gezien wat minder dan Engelse maar wel relevanter qua taal/cultuur.
Your Russian is great! It’s amazing to see such an interest and attention to this language, especially these days.
PS: actually we pronounce “млако”, the “а” between “м” and “л” is almost not vocal. :)

I am a Russian native speaker and I hardly know the rules of my language! I just read and read books and therefore I just know exactly how to spell each word and what forms it has, it automatically arises in the brain. But I remember that in the 1st grades we started learning Russian with the correct placement of accents, we even had such exercises where you need to place the accents yourself, we also read texts with already placed accents as the author showed!

It is funny that you say people will understand you if you make a mistake. I was asking a girl if she was ready to go, but I inadvertently used the masculine form of 'ready' because I had been working with and talking with guys all day. She looked at me as if I was an Alien speaking a language from another galaxy. She stared at me for a few seconds, then looked for help from my buddy who asked exactly what I asked but with the feminine word. She immediately answered him in the affirmative. Even he laughed at how lost she looked.
It's so weird. I never address women in a feminine form. And yes, I am a native Russian speaker
Hahaha, I think that's more her problem than yours.
Are you sure the girl was Russian?)
@@alexandertvaladze8226 In general, most of the girls I know usually address themselves in male form
As I see you use "готов" instead "готова". It's an adjective and it have gender forms. But as you know the verbs (except past tense forms) don't have gender different forms. You can say "ты пойдёшь со мной?" instead "ты готова пойти/идти со мной?" Btw "Ты готова пойти/идти со мной?" is a kinda weird sentence and kinda scary bc it prepose that the girl have (unless you really ask if she is ready/good prepared for) to make a difficult decision/choice.
Привет Ари..I just started learning russian and I've stumbled upon the hard and soft consonants, cases and the verb conjugations. The thing is that I can't seem to pronounce the words correctly especially with щ and ш and the soft and hard consonants. Does it make a lot of difference since I am a beginner? Because I want to learn as much vocabulary as possible. I think it will waste my time trying to focus on correct pronunciation now. But wouldn't it be hard to correct myself later? I want your opinion on this
You're right. It doesn't make a lot of difference to focus on pronunciation now. Sure, don't ignore pronunciation 100%. But I've found that pronunciation tends to get better automatically IF you listen to a lot of spoken Russian (watch series, talk to natives, listen to music, etc).
Focus on:
- vocabulary
- grammar
- listening
- speaking
And then once you reach a decent conversational level, start focusing on the more difficult letters. Record yourself, show it to a native speaker and he can usually tell where to focus most (or send it to me if you're in one of my courses).
As a Russian, I can only agree that this difference is not so important. Learn the vocabulary first thing. When you know the words, it helps you to understand, to guess, at least, and to express yourself. Maybe, it will be grammatically incorrect...
sure thing, handle the vocabulary and grammar first. When you feel confident, grab a book on theoretical phonetics. I am not kidding. Pronunciation can't be learnt by imitation alone. You need to know how the speech apparatus functions
Don't worry about soft/hard too much. You can just tell everyone you're from Belarus)).
don't stress about grammar too much if you just started. imo, vocabulary comes first. verbs are difficult to master. start with nouns first. that's how they teach language at school and noun grammar much easier to learn once you understand the pattern. to know correct pronunciation it's better to hear it first and all the time, so, you could watch some kids cartoons that teach that to little kids or watch youtube or twich, or films in russian (if your level allows it), but keep in mind, some people could pronounce some words wrong, even native speakers. it's not a big mistake though, because not all of native speakers are linguists, so take it easy. 😉 I'm writing all this as russian native speaker.
P.S. I use google all the time to correct my writing (this message included). English is too difficult in that case. I learned English by myself and make mistakes all the time, because what you hear doesn't = what you write. Even if I know pronunciation, I can't be sure I can write it correctly. At least, russian doesn't have "silent letter" problem in most cases ("ь" and "ъ" doesn't count, because they're silent by default). word "здравствуйте" is just one of the few exeptions (the only one?) we all need just to memorise (native speakers included).
Omg , I can imagine how difficult for you to memorize it . I was enjoying listening you . 👍👍👍
As a native Russian speaker I think that you did an impressive jop in learning and speaking my mother tongue an you have a pretty good pronunciation of the words even doe you still make some mistakes here and there but keep going and the way you've structured the video is really good 🌹💙

@@Kinotaurus хрю-хрю :)
@@Kinotaurus chroo-chroo😅
Re the cases. Can somebody explain why Russian nouns are taught one case at a time rather than teaching all the endings of a given declension at once? I speak an inflected language on a daily basis, plus I have extensive training in Latin (the only language before Russian that I acquired by formal study rather than getting more or less by osmosis), so cases as such don't faze me at all. But Latin textbooks present you with the entire declension of a given noun, all cases singular and plural, at the same time. I'm used to this and I found it incredibly disorientating that Russian pedagogy takes the approach of doing one case at a time. It's actually been the single most difficult thing about Russian cases for me and it really knocks me off my stride.
No clue actually. Maybe because most people do not have experience with Latin/case languages, so presenting all at the same time overwhelmes students. But that's just my experience.
I suppose this is because in the Russian language, the formation of cases obeys a fairly strict rule with almost completely absent exceptions. That's why it's enough to learn a word only in the nominative case, and then use the case formation rule to incline it by case.
@@merMLAB That's an interesting theory, but Latin has very strict rules as well. The difference being that in Latin you have to know the genitive as well as the nominative in order to decline a noun correctly. I'm wondering whether the one-case-at-a-time approach is just a newfangled way of doing things differently. I have actually seen an elementary Latin textbook that takes that approach and I thought it was weird there too!
Being a native russian, and from watching this kind of videos, i've come to realize that teaching russian to foreigners is completely different from what we had in school. I'm pretty sure we did all cases at once, if there even was such a thing. In our case it had more to do with analysis of WHY things are how they are, rather than HOW they are (because we already knew that, for the most part). For foreigners it may be the other way round, or both at once, with the emphasis on the latter, coupled with the fact that they have to memorize a shit load of things.
I speak a cased language too (Greek),and I studied Latin by the LLPSI book, which introduces cases one by one too. The book is written in a method that starts you from 0 (e.g. Rome is in Italy) and takes you chapter by chapter to more and more advanced sentences - each chapter deals with a grammatical aspect of the language. In that method, cases are introduced one by one, as they treated as some aspect of the language each, and some are more basic than others (Nominative -> accusative -> genitive -> dative -> ablative). I do not know what methodology the Russian textbooks use, but it may be motivated by similar ideas (Learn to say basic things first, we ll figure out more advanced stuff later). Of course this methodology targets people that can contain their enthusiasm and just be happy following the book.
"I was buying..." means process ("I was buying groceries during the last 15 minutes and could not answer your call"), "I bought..." means result ("I bought a bottle of milk"). Just as "I was doing" and "I completed / did". Same is between я читал (I was reading a book all day == process) and я прочитал (The book that I have just read is so interesting = result: I finished the book)
Don't stop. 😁👍 Успехов в изучении русского❤
Падежи - это, пожалуй, самое глобально сложное для изучения... А ещё суффиксы и приставки, меняющие одно слово до неузнаваемости и противоположности смысла. А, ну и порядок слов - любой, а от этого меняется, подчас, весь смысл сказанного. P.s. Видео классное и информативное в этом смысле - спасибо.

Those tips about getting better at speaking part of the language is basically truth for any other language.

I never stopped to think that the accents (on syllables/vowels) in Russian are such a big deal. You have a good point though. I mean I've noticed almost the exactly same concept in Chinese and find it very difficult to wrap my head around that. I guess it's just a matter of exposure and practice, as you said. My favorite similar word in Russian, English and German is butter-brot :)
Both english and russian are my native languages, but i have never looked at russian from perspective of learning it while being an english speaker. Was fun and educational for me, thx for your efforts.
