    I wanted to thank you for all your content. Almost a year ago I was inspired to start learning Russian. Your zero to fluency videos were what got me off the ground, your teaching style and methods really gave me confidence that this would actually be possible for me. Within 2 months I hired a tutor from Preply and have taken lessons twice weekly ever since. I ordered Tochka Ru based on your recommendation, and good thing because turns out my teacher used it regularly. I’ve now moved on to the A2 textbook. Anyway, I just wanted to express my gratitude for everything you’ve done here, it helped me immensely. Огромное спасибо тебе!😄

    Hello Daria, thank you for your clear explanation about Russian names.
    Two uncles from my mother’s side had made an excursion to the USSR in 1961.
    At that time it was the only way to visit the USSR for people from the west.
    When they arrived in Moscow they were separated from the other members of the group and got a guide for their own. The reason for the separation was their family name: ‘Marks’. That name is written differently as Karl Marx but still, they were treated as special visitors. It was even allowed to visit a catholic church. One of my uncles was a priest. I have still a postcard of them with a stamp of Joeri Gagarin in a spacesuit.

    Back in 1978 I found a Russian language text book at a book fair and started to teach myself Russian. I was 18 years old then. I studied on and off for years, and eventually I stopped unfortunately. But for the last 35 years I have gone by the Russian girl's name Galina. I never go by Galia though. In finding my roots, I come from family in Western Russia and Ukraine, but I was born and raised in the USA. I liked this video very much! Спасибо, Дарья!

      На самом деле вы учите английский))), потому что Дарья говорит на хорошем, грамонтном инглише, но с близким нашему уху легким акцентом, который мы хорошо воспринимаем. Ну и второй аспект - это же интересно, оценить вдумчиво то, что уже давно зашито в подкорку. Это как опыт езды на автомобиле - иногда после какой-нибудь сложной ситуации удивляешься, сколько одновременных осознанных действий вы совершили за пару секунд даже не задумавшись. Слушая Дарью (нет, всё таки Дашу, уж простите мне эту вольность) мы по-новому смотрим на свой собственный язык, удивляясь казалось бы привычным вещам, как если бы мы были детьми и всё это познавали впервые.
      Немного сумбурно, но думаю, мысль понятна.

      They are few and could be in fact somewhat confusing even to native speakers if we don't know the person. But those are just exceptions. The majority of nicknames are gender-specific

    This video is amazing. Super informative and fun!
    My last name is Bykowicz and that -ovich (or -вич) sound has made my name impossible for anyone to pronounce who didn’t know me. It was extra fun when I was in the US Army because instead of being called by my last name, they just referred to me as, ‘alphabet.’ Lol
    Is there any Russian roots to this name or how I could explore my last name further? Thank you so much! Спасибо!

    Actually Svetlana is not an old Russian name. It’s known that no historical or literature documents prove it existed before 19th century. The most popular version is that in some families this name was used as a pet name for small cute girls and at the beginning of the 19th century was first time used by some poets as a personal name. The most famous is the poem Svetlana, written by Zhukovsky. After it name wasn’t immediately popular and wasn’t accepted by church, therefore we can see it becomes more and more popular as a female name only in Soviet times.

    i thought the uncommon names list was very interesting because those names wouldnt even be uncommon or at least not a surprise to see in english like Angel, March, Prince. Double names like Anne Marie, Daisy May (yea that actually does exist). Even what was dolphin there is a bit like Delphine which is a name (and would be an unfortunate translation into cyrillic letters)
