As an educator, she is a natural. Teaching comes so easy, and she does such a good job. 😃
Couldn’t agree more
I agree Mark. Natasha is a natural teacher. I wish my son could meet someone like Natasha. Her parents must be proud.
She is cute. I could listen to her for hours
Totally agree
You’re an incompetent educator.
I was a languages major in college (French, German, and Italian). This is by far the best introduction to the Russian/Cyrillic alphabet and pronunciation I've ever seen. It uses real-world examples. It shows some lowercase letters and script/cursive as well as uppercase. It shows stylistic variations that are used for effect. It explains the difference between "yeh" and "yaw" and how one is sometimes substituted for the other. It shows examples of how a vowel can be pronounced in different ways, depending on usage. A lot of info packed into 20 minutes, with no wasted time. Well done. Спасибо.
I'm a native Russian, but I really like how you've chosen to teach foreigners Russian alphabet by demonstrating real Russian signboards, along with pieces of regular live in Russia. I know that when I first tried to learn English, it was hard for me to grasp foreign culture and, I think, I'd find such pieces of English culture helpful. They are not much, of course, but they still make you feel like you're already there, and it's a nice comforting feeling for someone trying to learn a new language.
Your English is almost flawless. If you ever want to trick native speakers, just get rid of 90% of your punctuation and no one would ever know.
@@christinafacts444, thanks, I'll do that :3
The girl, especially for you, was looking for bad landscapes. :) This is enough in any country. Russia, over the past 30 years, has gone through a lot of bad things. And now, in any city in Russia, you can find very unattractive architecture, etc. But there is also a lot of new and good things. The girl did not show this. (Google translator)
@@user-rp3ex8mj7z, I'm not sure there is such thing as good or bad landscapes when it comes to conveying the spirit of daily life in any country. Because the point of it is to give people the feeling of what it's like to live there and go places. If you just show the most beautiful places, you will convey wrong picture, it's like when you are a tourist and you only remember tourist attraction spots after leaving, not the narrow streets or the courtyards with kids playing with their sticks. I've seen many Russians trying to showcase Russian attractions and architecture (mostly in Moscow with the latter), but what they showed never felt like Russia to me, because they have omitted the bad pieces of roads where puddles form after rain or the Soviet Union-old buildings with ugly graffity and swearwords painted on them that I grew up seeing every day. Or the people, their tired or gloomy faces when they hurry to work or to other important places, all busy and worried and trying to be punctual and being frustrated with our municipal services etc.
The point of this exercise is not to demonstrate how cool we are by picking the most beautiful places of Russia, but to relay the real picture with both the beautiful and the ugly, so that the foreigners could feel the life here even if they haven't been to Russia once. And if someone thinks it's more respectful to Russia to show only good stuff about it, then I disagree strongly, because there can't be any respect without acknowledgement of true state of things.
@@user-gd6il5zb8l In the 1990s, European and US politicians actively supported corruption in the countries of the former USSR (this is a fact). What is corruption (for real), we learned after the collapse of the USSR. In the days of the USSR, it was almost nonexistent (as it turned out). A lot of resources were taken from the former USSR. The people have become very poor. All these resources supported the economies of Europe and the United States (in the first place). It was a real genocide of Europe and the United States against the peoples of the former USSR. This is exactly how it was (I don’t know what your media say there, I experienced it all myself). Wherever Europe comes in, it only gets worse (with a few exceptions). Now Russia has just begun to recover from the shock of the 1990s. And now in Russia it is much safer and more comfortable than in many other countries. Yes, somewhere in the cities of Russia there is the architecture of the 1990s. But this is less and less. The West brought great grief to the countries of the former USSR. I'm from Ukraine. Ukrainian oligarchs are guilty of Ukraine's troubles (in the first place). They, too, were raised by Western politicians. I know what I'm talking about. Since independence, the population of Ukraine has dropped from 52 million to 30-32 million. Even before the Maidans, Ukraine lived better than Russia. Now the comparison is in favor of Russia. In Ukraine, there is now a real junta and fascists. And Europe (oddly enough) does not see this.
My favourite Russian letter is "Ж". It just looks so cool.
"Ж" looks like a bug. The bug in Russian is "Жук"
@@terwit1549 Like Женщина. Because Russian women are beautiful.
Russians generally say - "Девушка". It does not depend on age. "Женщина" is something official
@@terwit1549 дурак? Это зависит от возраста. Ты бабушку или девочку женщиной назовешь? Девушка - это конкретно молодая женщина, дословно - девственница.

Best basic Russian language lesson I've ever had.
я поляк и очен люблю буквы Ш, Ч, Я, Е, Ё, Ю потому что у нас в польском тоже такие звуки есть. Но нам нужно писать две буквы для одного звука вместо одной: Sz, Cz, Ja, Je, Jo, Ju. :)
Thats because cyrillic alphabet was made exactly for slavic languages, while poles where to much affected by german influence

If I'm remembering correctly, Russian had an additional letter that wasn't used heavily so the Bolsheviks dropped it when they seized power in 1917. Is the one in this video that same letter or is it a different letter?
In Belarusian the dots MUST be written. If you don't, it's a spelling error.
That letter isn't even on the Russian keyboard in the Google translation page.

It's so hard for me to hear the difference between all the letters that "sound the same but softer or harder" 😭 but she did a great job and going around town showing us signs was so fun!
I also cannot hear the difference. I learnt Russian many years ago, in Uzbekistan. It’s a cool language but I couldn’t get the hard/soft difference then, either. I think my tutor got frustrated with me! 😂
Oh this is the smartest thing of you to teach the letters on streetsign and such. When I was in greece, I learned the greek alphabet the exact same way.
I was a sign painter, painted by hand until computers took over. Thank you for the visit to your side of our world. Your home is wonderful and you are an excellent communicator and beautiful host. Thanks for the visit, Daniel

I understand from your videos that public smiling isn’t the cultural norm in your country, but it doesn’t change the fact that you have a beautiful smile 😊 that lights you up when you use it. Your videos are interesting and informative, Thank you for taking the time to do them!
the hard sign and soft sign still stays a mystery for me ^^
Russian has two versions of each consonant sound. When you say the vowel [i] as in "easy" or the semivowel [j] as in "yes", you lift the body of your tongue towards your palate. Besides your normal consonant sounds, Russian has a whole series of palatalized consonants, where you raise the body of your tongue AT THE SAME TIME that you pronounce it.
To write these consonants, you follow them by a soft vowel (я е и ю), or, if there’s no vowel sound after them, you use the soft sign (ь).
It's basically a silent letter. It's like how the letter "g" produces the pronunciation of the word "sign".
@@JesusChristSaves2024 it changes the previous consonant tho.
Sign [saın] but sin [sın] so it changes the vowel
While топь [topĵ] but топ [top] -- the consonant is changed
@@fernandolamadrid9889 why tho
@@darrenehhhhhhtill8051 when she said the the word with and without, I was like... Um that's the same word, it sounds exactly the same!. Haha or.. xaxaxa ;)
I was watching a Russian youtuber the other day, and he said a word with his mouth open, and the front tip of his tongue curled up! My tongue can not do this, ever, so I might be slightly screwed with russian language.
Good job! I was in St. Petersburg in 1995. I struggled, but I could pronounce the name of a hotel. Nice thing about Russian, everything is spelled EXACTLY how it is pronounced.

I just love the way you dress. So simple and tasteful. You're absolutely beautiful! Whatever you do: never change!
Your hometown in Russia looks very much like many hometowns in America. We are not really so much different as we are alike. Thank you for what you do.
First lesson I have ever had in Russian, very interesting especially when shown on signage. You are a lovely teacher - thanks.
This video is informative and entertaining as well. I would recommend it to anybody interested in learning russian alphabet, because it does not only teach about russian letters and their pronounciation, but it demonstrates their application in a very realistic and authentic way. Furthermore in this video it can be seen, what Russia looks like in the far eastern parts. Although I knew the russian alphabet before, I could find still some usefull information in it. Dawai!
Never been to Russia yet, but have always been fascinated by it. Back when I was in High school, I used to take my class notes in Cyrillic, but phonetically in English. Confused my teachers. And I had a girl I used to write notes to in class, so she learned how to write in it too. :)
Keep up the excellent videos.
Kind of like the bottles of Russian Standard vodka on the back bar of one of my favorite watering holes here in Wisconsin - one side of the bottles have the brand name in English, phonetically spelled out in Cyrillic, the other side in straight English.
i do that toooo hahhah everybody always looks at me weird but its so much more fun
@@mgk920Brand name in English, spelld out in Cyrillic🤣 It has Russian name in one side, and English name in the other side "РУССКИЙ СТАНДАРТ ВОДКА" -"RUSSIAN STANDARD VODKA"
This person reminds me of my French\German language teacher from high school! She was from Croatia, but also knew Russian and in downtime, she sometimes wrote some words she knew and told about pronunciation and whatnot. She made me interested in learning some languages
I wanted to learn Russian letters on the streets with Nataly, but then I realized I already know all the Russian letters ;D

Natasha, you are a great teacher! Congratulations! Thanks for this video.
Это самая лучшая пропаганда Русской культуры, спасибо тебе!
I've been studying the Russian language for almost two years so I have the alphabet down pretty good but it's always nice to see a different way to teach it and learn some new words in the process.
May I ask what you use, or used? I've only been in about a week, full, and I'm teaching myself. I use aps, and website, watch lots of youtube/videos, and Music! But I'd love to hear from someone who is way deeper than I am. Thank you in advance. :)
@@sumrose7972 I think the best way is movies with subtitles. Television series actually, because you hear the same voice of same actors for a long time (20-40-100 episodes), while movies de facto too short. And better not to watch historical movies where actors often talk not like nowadays (different structure of phrases, words order, outdated words, different means, Russians understand such language, it is really cool approach which put viewer in historical context, but it is not what you want when studying language). But not sure that it is easy approach for newbies (I’m Polish, Russian is similar with a lot of common words, so for me it was easy).
@@juliap.5375 ah yes, thank you, I am actually always trying to find Russian tv shows, free on youtube with subtitles, but I will say finding something that I actually want to watch is not easy. It's almost all historical pieces, really lame love melodramas, or action/war stuff. I'd like a comedy, and for whatever reason doesn't seem to offer any. I've watched one series, The Housewife Husband?? (Think that's the name) and currently settled on The Dark Side of the Soul, if you have any suggestions I'd love to try and find a comedy or something light. :)
@@sumrose7972 I don’t know about first (even not found), while second show... it filmed by Star Media, they produce cheap movies for housewives over 50s.
First of all, you need to forget about youtube, on it possibly to find only videos for which nobody want to pay (like production of Star Media). You need torrents! :) One of the largest in post-USSR is rutracker. Or rutor-info (they often change name, better to open via Tor. I hope you know what is Tor?). Both have almost everything what produced in Russia, USA, some other countries. So, you can watch almost any movie (from Terminator to Game of Thrones) with Russian subtitles or voice, everything is always dubbed (in some countries dub is not popular, while in Russia otherwise, original soundtracks are rare, but always exist bunch of different dubs).
Comedies? Complicated question. You know, humor is not universal thing actually and a lot of jokes based on references to some culture aspects which unknown for foreigns. As example I watched American sitcom The Big Bang Theory with my American colleague, and in some non-funny scene he started to laugh. As he explained to me, actually in scene was reference to American movie from 1930s... How to get this? Impossibly.
There are tons of comedies, what exactly you want? For teens, adults, secondary genre? As universal comedy I strongly recommend Кухня (“The Kitchen” on Amazon). It is actually whole universe (6 seasons of main show, additionally 3 movies and 4 spin-off), they so popular, that own remakes made several countries, from Portugal to Georgia.
As something light I can recommend “Восьмидесятые”, but for it is hard to find subtitles. It is about life of students in late 1980s, light and very funny.
And last one “Мажор” (“Silver Spoon” on Netflix), it is detective, in general light, with a lot of humor (remind in something American “Castle”).
There are hundreds more of course (sadly it is hard to find subtitles), need to know what exactly you like, but I think “The Kitchen” and rest will be good start (at least enough for one year). And forget about Star Media, search better for shows of СТС and ТНТ, they produce by several funny tv shows per year.
@@juliap.5375 haha yes Star Media, exactly.. I was starting to wonder about Russian tv. And yes totally familiar with TOR, so I'll utilize that. Thank you. Good call.
Yeah comedy is subjective, for sure, but I am currently looking at the show The Kitchen on Amazon, and it also appears to be suggesting other shows for me to look into. Yeah it used to be you really could find anything and Everything on UA-cam if you were willing to look, now there's nothing left. I wish someone would come out with a new platform, cause this youtube is making it very difficult for me to like anymore. Thank you very much for your help. I very much appreciate it.
I saw this video for the first time about a year ago and couldn't get the Russian letters out of my head. Then recently I started studying Russian and as soon as I learned the alphabet I watched this video again to review. I think this video makes a great review. I'm enjoying studying Russian and want to continue learning this beautiful language.
When I was learning to read my native English as a child I spent so much time walking around with my mother while she was running errands and I read all the signs. I think signs are a great way to learn and review letters and words.
This is an exceptional learning (as opposed to teaching) video which helps one to remember the alphabet. The cultural and linguist cues and associations help reinforce the experience.
My best russian lesson ever. I am totally puzzled with the subtleness of the hard and soft signs, so difficult to grasp.
That and the sh and shsh sound of ш щ ?? This gets me as well
@@sumrose7972 don't worry guys, Russians will understand you either way, you will get it after awhile
Thank you so much. I have always been fascinated by Cyrillic letters, they have an artistic look to them for a non speaker.
are you planning to start learning Russian one day?
Thank you. Your teaching went much much smoother than the formal way of just introducing letters and repeating them several times. The only thing I had problem with was "sh" honestly I couldn't even hear the difference between the two " sh"
the first one "sh" ( Ш, ш ) sounds like in eng words "SHine" or "SHop". The second isn't "sh".. this is mostly like closer to "shch" ( Щ, щ ). You can get it from rus word "SHCHavel'" that means "sorrel" in eng or thats how calls the russian soup
this is excellent...I learned Russian in the 80s in the military for my work...the way to learn Russian is to focus on learning and memorizing and pronouncing as many words as possible...dont worry about anything else.. words you memorize will eventually flow into sentences..
When I went to Moscow on Google roads I was happy to see signs I understood, such as "BAHK" so I began to study and learn the Russian alphabet. This video has been very helpful to me. Thank you.
But still "БАНК". "В" in Russian means V
I agree with others you would be a good teacher. You'd get my undivided attention. :)
Loved the lesson using actual steet signs wish there were more lessons like this.
Probably the best basic Russian alphabet lesson I've ever seen. Brilliant to tie it in with signs on the street!
Excellent teaching skills on display here!
I'm gonna have to watch this again and again. Every time you said "foreigners have a hard time ...", I have had that same problem. This is the best Russian pronunciation video I've seen.
Just started learning russian. This helped a lot, especially the explaination how words are pronounced differently without certain letters.
Fantastic! I had been picking up some of the letters just by watching your videos, but this was excellent to get a formal lesson from you, Natasha! You are a great teacher! Russian is not as difficult as I thought it would be!
I loved your idea of using your city to talk about the alphabet. Very creative idea. Спасибо большое.
I found your channel a week ago, very interesting content, seeing your life in Russia especially in the Far East region which I don’t know nothing about. I am thinking about learning Russian so this video was super educational. Keep up the good work, greetings from Germany :)
There is a Russian folk music group from Saint Petersburg called Otava Yo. They preserve the letter Ё in their name: Отава Ё
Youre a very good teacher. I appreciate the effort you put into this video. You are great! Cheers from Georgia USA.
Great way to learn. Looks like a fun atmosphere in the town.
I'll start this from the beginning and perhaps it will sink in a bit more. One day-post Covid 19-I hope to travel to see locations associated with the the great Russian writers (Tsarskoye Selo, Peredelkino, Dostoyevsky Steps, anything Pushkin or Akhmatova-and the list goes on). Thank you, Natasha, for creating this learning tool. Ричард

Thank you for this video and the rest of your content!
hello first to arrive by the way what a great video I met your channel from the facebook group a long time ago very good content
You make it easy for me to learn Russian 💯🤟🏽
This is how I slowly learn Russian. I watch several Russians on UA-cam, and noticed the large number of Russian words that can be learned from watching them walk through their towns. Stores have words on them, street signs have words on them, menu's, books, and many other things that you might see in a Russian blogger's videos. You may not become fluent, but you will be able to function on some level if you can read street signs, labels on packages, and signs in shop windows.
This has been a great lesson. I think that will watch it many times. Thank you.

Because she went study in America.
@@RowynDaily It was interesting listening to English-speaking Russians and Chinese in the 80s and 90s. Most Russians I heard spoke English with a European accent, because most of their exposure to English came from British or continental Europeans who spoke or taught English.

Hi, I´m from the Czech Republic. We used to learn Russian laguage at school. Actually Советский Союз used to be presented to us as our idol and protector.

It sounds much better than they taught us. Then there were political changes and everyone started to learn German and English.LOL

I also really enjoy seeing the different locations, it helps to understand life there, which is fairly different in some ways and of course very much the same in many. I enjoy your videos very much, thank you for making them.
I was fortunate to learn the Cyrillic alphabet in school 65 years ago (age 11) and I can still read the words but I have little Russian vocabulary so I can understand the words that are the same in English and sometimes French. Thank you for the refresher course. I enjoy your videos. 🙂
Спасибо Google, это то что мне нужно.
Very good video! I'm Swedish and are trying to learn Russian. This is very helpful! Спасибо! 🇸🇪🇷🇺
This video got me interesting in learning the Russian language. Thanks Natasha for making this interesting video, and making your language more accessible to foreigners.
I love languages and studying them. Natasha has done a great job here with this video. It is very creative to teach the Russian letters by showing them in her city; one can learn a bit about Russian life as well. She knows a lot, and has a very natural presentation style. I would like to read some of the great Russian poets I like in their own language. This is a good beginning! Thanks, Natasha Robert, Canada
"As you can see this store is closed, I don't know why, and... uhm... let's move onto the next letter!" - 😂😂😂
This seems to sum up several aspects of my life!
So, god. damn. relatable.
I like how every few letters there was an unexplained jump cut, it seemed to add a little bit of humor that made the video that much nicer to watch. I'm not sure if she did it on purpose or not, but I quite liked it, especially because it was a little subtle as well

If russians tell me about hard/soft sounds, hard/soft sign... My ears tell me: all sound the same. Also as for Ш и Щ
think in german: "sh" is Ш, "sch" is Щ
Try russian soup Щи ) sounds like *She*
@@user-bi4oq1gr3c Absolutely wrong, ш is sch in German and щ is somewhat like in ich
Actually she didn't explain that bit very clearly. She could have shown the contrast in pronunciation more than she did. There's a pretty big difference in the sounds of the paired hard and soft consonants.
Hard "Ш" is like in 'Sean', and soft "Щ" is like in 'shit'. lol
Thank you. I enjoyed your video a great deal. I have been to Vladivostok, Moscow, St Petersburg and many small Russian towns. It was very enjoyable to tour Spassk with you, as it reminded me of many of the towns I have visited in Russia. I have learned the Russian alphabet, but your explanation was very helpful. Большое спасибо.
That was great Natasha. Spasiba.
