I am trying to learn Russian from your previous lessons. Thank you vary much. And your Japanese pronounciation is so good. Japanese has 3 alphabet. Hiragana,katakana,kanji.which are you learning?
As a Japanese guy, I was amazed your Japanese. I could understand your speech completely. And I can't believe you reached this level in only 90days! I'm interested in Russian because I love Russian music. But now I'm struggling with English. So learning Russian is my future goal. これからも日本語の学習頑張ってください。
Two good things I have learnt from this video 1. Fix a schedule if you have passion for learning a new language. 2. Never tell anyone anything, when you are learning only tell when you have completed. Большое спасибо мадам 💐💐🌹🌹
tip #2 is actually important even for yourself :D wait until you get some progress and then measure your accomplishments. Concentrate on what you can say in the new language, not on what you can not
Hang on to it. I have been learning for four years. 1 hour lesson a week and every day duolingo. I survived a week in Kazakhstan a month ago, using a dictionary only once!
I am so proud of you. Wow, It makes me want to push harder in my learning. When my teacher is learning a language and she says that much in 90 days. I should know way more of Russian than I do. Ok Daria you have inspired me to be more productive. Спасибо
Daria, I'm Japanese, but sometimes I watch videos of your Russian lessons. Thank you for making the lessons easy to understand. You also learned Japanese for 90 days, and I was surprised that she released it in a video herself! ️ I'm looking forward to Russian lessons 🤗✋!! ️…….
You are so great at speaking Japanese! I'm Japanese and I'm learning Russian for 90 days or more but I've not reached your Japanese level at all... Your slow Russian channel helps me a lot. Большое спасибо)
Go for it! For a person whose mother tongue is English, Russian is classified as a Class 4 Language in terms of difficulty (Class 1 being the easiest). But the Asian languages are even more difficult! Russian & English are both Indo-European Languages - and I am seeing the correspondence between them; but the Asian languages are totally different. Very impressive, Daria!
I wanna suggest you two japanese grammar channels and a phonetics one that helped me a lot. Japanese Ammo with Misa, Learn japanese - coto japanese academy and phonetics by dogen. Misa's channel has amazing grammar breakdowns, good explanations about the differences between similar-translatable terms like the conditionals と、たら、なら and えば, and highlighted examples telling you which part of the sentence means what in English or at least what idea gives. One possible downside though is that her videos are kind of lengthy but for me it's no big deal. Coto academy has a diversity of grammar terms taught in short videos but doesn't go as deep as misa's lessons. For me it mainly works to keep me engaged to be on the look out for more to learn. And Dogen's channel has a good amount of free videos about the basics of japanese phonetics I hope this could help ^^
I am learning Russian so I'll write about my experiences with that. I know a lot of people work better with a structure, but I don't. The only thing I make sure to do is to have spent at least 20 minutes a day with Russian (whether that is reading, listening, doing exercises, translating, meeting with my tutor, etc.). That is my only "rule". Every few years for the past 20 years I would pick Russian back up (I took a year in college), learn a little, then quit. Since February though, I have spent time with the language every single day and have no plans to stop and I think this is due largely to how I have gone about learning this time. By having only that one rule I make sure I never lose motivation. Some days I spend hours, some days only 20 minutes, and everything in between. If I get frustrated, I move on to something else. For example if I'm getting lost with the exercises in my workbook, I might go find someone's UA-cam video about the same topic or even just watch a video on a different topic or story in Russian. I'm learning for my own fun so I feel like if I am not having fun, there really isn't any point. It might mean it takes me 10x as long to learn concepts as others, but I don't care because I have so much fun! Here are some random things that help me--videos with transcripts (I'm a Patreon of a couple of people); the Tochka.ru textbook series (these are structured perfectly for me!); having italki tutors that I can practice speaking with and who can guide me without being strict; listening to podcasts; watching youtube videos from russian teachers and others; having "phrases of the day" or "words of the day" that I put up on my whiteboard at work that I can look at and practice with (I try to choose words that I hear a lot and just can't seem to remember so that I finally internalize them); reading russian short stories out loud to my husband. Basically I just "play" with Russian all the time and it has paid off over time. I've probably made more progress in the past 10 months doing all this random stuff than I had in the 20ish years before when I'd try to follow the sort of "school room" language learning I was taught in college. I've thought about taking a class again, but I think what really works for me is having fun, flexibility, and autonomy. So my best recommendation as a learner (or what works for me): Keeping it fun and interesting keeps you motivated. You might not learn fast, but you'll never stop wanting to learn (hopefully!)!
If you are interested in seeing Mt. Fuji, you should try viewing from Tokyo Sky Tree in the sunset. It was amazing...Mt. Fuji looked like a giant monster, towering over the cities. Definitely a must-see.
There are two books: “Basic Kanji vol. 1” and “Basic Kanji vol. 2” by Chieko Kano. Some people I know had success with them. I am a bit (😂) older and got my start with Roy Andrew Miller’s “A Japanese Reader: Graded Lessons for Mastering the Written Language (Tuttle Language Library)” I also recommend P.G. O’Neill “Essential Kanji: 2,000 Basic Japanese Characters Systematically Arranged For Learning And Reference”. The Kanji are introduced so that the examples (2 or 3 with each new one) are only kanji that you already know. Also, you can conveniently carry it around for looking up unknown kanji. This was a real plus for me.
Молодец! Это так круто! My first thought was kind of a downer because I thought I've been studying Russian longer than that and I couldn't have done that well. But then I started thinking about it a little more and I think I could come pretty close! I think starting with just one resource was the way to go. That's been an issue for me. There are so many good resources and I tend to bounce around.
I started following your real Russian a year ago. I have shown this video to my daughter. She is a little lazy. So I told her to look at your dedication and consistency. Thank you. Best of luck!
Hi Daria, Best wishes for you and your Family at Christmas. So in your shoes? Well for me the hardest part is finding time to study it. A day in my life. I go to bed too late and I get up at the last possible minute. Bad habit, I know. When I get home from work I am too tired to do anything, Sometimes I have go to the shops after work for our Dinner. Then we we try and go for a nightly walk for some mild exercise. As you get older it's a case of use it or lose it so we keep walking. Then we watch "Dr Who" on TV for a few episodes, chill out time, and finally we say our Family Prayer and go to bed and do it all again the next Day. It is very difficult to find the quality time that I need to devote myself to learning the language. But however, when I do find those special moments it is all about practice and repetition. Firstly I began writing the cyrillic alphabet at every opportunity several times a day for months on end and even with all that effort I still get the order mixed up but the order wasn't my priority. Just remembering all 33 letters was my main focus. Then I began picking up other little things about the alphabet like the hard and soft vowels and that some of the feminine stuff ends with an "A" . I need to refresh again because I am forgeting it. But I imagine it is a bit like when we were in school all those years ago when we had to write down the words Three times and write them in a sentence once. Hope that helps.
This was such inspiring content! I watched your UA-cam posts last year to learn Russian. You are a superb language teacher. It’s SO distressing what’s happening in Russia. I have quit Russian now and I am learning Spanish (I live in Albuquerque, NM, and there are a couple people I can try to speak Spanish with who don’t speak any English! It’s a treat. One is in a bakery.) Anyway, I have also just begun Japanese. You are obviously a professional linguist. I won’t be able to keep up. I loved this video, though, and I hope you make more about learning Japanese. Again, very inspiring!!
@@americanrussianlife I on the other hand decided to study Russian harder, partly from antagonism to Putin, and mostly because my many online Russian tutors have fled to other countries or hiding behind a VPN, They need my support and I need to protect my investment of time spent mastering Russian. By the way, I also speak Spanish. Mexico is just over 100 miles from Orange County, California.
Thanks for this contribution. So amazed by your progress. I am so far behind in learning Russian but I am happy with the small progress I have made. Japan would probably be the best place for me to live. I have heard Japanese people say that there is some sort of connection with my native land, Finland. I think they are a quiet people with deep spiritual values. I work at my Russian vocabulary but some words are very difficult to stick in my head so I have to go over and over again. But I love the mystery of the words. They intrigue me. My interest continues strong. I have Pushkin and Dostoyevsky and Bulgakov waiting for me. Thanks for your video. I appreciate you very much as my better.
Mushi Mushi Ohio Gozymas -You are talented. Learning more in 90 days than I did in 18 months in the U.S. army in Okinawa in 70's. Kobe beef is the food to eat there. Konichiwah
I have been studying Russian for about 80 days now and very consistently. I’ve come along away! And I think what drives me so much is how much I genuinely am interested and just enthralled by the language. As if everyday I’m uncovering more and more secrets that I wasn’t supposed to understand. And it seems you have the same drive with Japanese, which may be a secret weapon to never lose that spark/love for learning the language. And I also wanted to say thank you, bc without the Real Russian Club, there’s no way I would understand Russian grammar like I do. Спасибо!!
My 16-year-old niece is learning Japanese and she's doing very well. She's not learning it in school she's learning it on her own and she is doing awesome! I think you will do great, Daria.
@@americanrussianlife my niece has been learning for a little over a year and a half now and she is doing very well. And I think you are doing well too. And also I wanted to thank you for all the videos you have been making to help people like me learn russian. Thank you so much. I am getting much better because of you. I have been watching your videos for several years now. I also have all of your books and they are awesome and very easy to understand. Thank you so much for all your videos you make and the hard work and time you put into them, and taking time out of your precious time to teach me and others how to speak your beautiful, beautiful language. Еще раз большое спасибо за вашу помощь. Вы прекрасный преподаватель русского языка. благодарю вас.
Tips: 1. If you want to watch UA-cam videos, Misa from Japanese Ammo is a very good teacher. She is very elaborate and informative, and she teaches lots of beginner grammar and vocabulary. 2. Kanji can be difficult. I suggest learning the basic 200-300. They are usually separated into topics, such as family, school, food, etc. The best kanji to start with are the family kanji (母、父、弟、兄、姉、妹、etc). Also, try to learn the simple verb kanji, like 行く(いく). 3. Speaking is important. I neglected speaking in school, so I wasn’t confident speaking in front of people. Once you get the pronunciation right, you can feel very confident in your ability.
I have found the LingQ app very helpful for learning Spanish. Lots of mini stories to read, and it is possible to create vocab lists to review from the stories. On my phone, I can easily review vocab and listen to stories while I’m doing routine tasks (household chores or waiting in lines), or during commute. Great video Daria. Thank you. You are an inspiration!
That's amazing! I thought it wasn't possible to reach such a high level in Japanese in only three months, I'm shocked you have accomplished that, and that's so motivational, not only for the one who want to learn Japanese, but any other languages, kudos to you!
I studied Japanese from 1990 to 1993 because I was working with Japanese software engineers from Fuji Xerox. I worked for Xerox. I never traveled to Japan. I worked in El Segundo, a small town just a few miles from the Los Angeles International Airport. Our work ended in 1993 and by 1994, I was out of a job due to another economic slowdown. That was thirty years ago. I fear I have forgotten everything and so I am listening to your video to determine if I remember anything. Actually, as I type my words, I am listening. I actually now remember a lot.
How far did you get in the Genki book in 90 days? Could you describe your workflow regarding your studying during the 50 minute time period? I'm just blown away! Awesome job!
you were amazing daria i shocked i have been learning japanese like 3 years and i don't want to talk about it :D you should definitely check benjiros beginner-japanese channel the channel is not about grammer or anything but pure comprehensible input
Wow!!! Darya!!! You're amazing!!! Your Japanese is almost perfect, right!?!? I'm a Japanese woman. And I have been learning Russian for 9 months. So your videos help me learn Russian. But I can't speak Russian like you. This video stimulated me! I'll do my best! я буду очень стараться! Большое спасибо! ありがとうございます！
You spoke Japanese very well. I'm so impressed on how talented you are. Not only are you very beautiful but you're very talented as well. It's very rare when you get the two combinations together in a girl. I too have a dream to go to Japan and speak the language. I'm barely studying the alphabet at the moment. But I hope to be just as good as you before I go.
I actually started following you several months ago to learn Russian, but now I find myself knowing little Russian while somehow learning Japanese for a month and a half🤣 I’m impressed by your huge progress within such a short period of time. Now you are my inspiration to learn both the languages! To better learn Kanji, from the perspective of a native Chinese speaker, I would say that maybe picking up some basic Simplified Chinese characters could help you understand the structure of Kanji and its connection with the meaning. Well you are not alone in having struggle with Kanji, and it is still kinda troublesome for me as a user of Simplified Chinese😂, since it is based on Traditional Chinese. That’s why I guess to learn something complicated, learning something basic could be helpful.
Super cool Daria! The Japanese language is so beautiful. I did the full Pimslur program on it and have a notebook filled with my attempt to learn it, sadly I only remember "good morning" and "it's over there" 😔 Then after I heard Russian and learned the alphabet I was hooked! Can understand and speak it pretty well (brokenly of course, and with the help of your content)But listening to you maybe I'll try Japanese again, you are inspiring! Thanks Daria😊
I don't understand Japanese (except for arigatogzaimasu (thanks to an old television and in India) and gomenasai (thanks to TaTu):D, but you sound amazing talking Japanese for 3:50 minutes straight. )))
With kanji, pictograms were the most helpful for getting it to set into mind, but memorizing stroke numbers and orders were the most helpful for fluent muscle memory. I will admit, I lost my resolve after the 3rd grade level...
Darya, you did such a brilliant job❤ I’m so happy to see you speaking Japanese, which is my mother tongue! I would say the fastest way of learning kanji is simply to writing and reading again and again, unfortunately😂 Yet it could help you understand and memorize more kanji to understand what each part in a kanji sounds or means. We have many kanji which are combinations of two/three simple kanji! When you come to Japan, please come to Fukuoka and Kagoshima! Fukuoka is famous for delicious and not-pricy seafood😋 Kagoshima has old samurai buildings and a peace museum in Chiran, and an active volcano called Sakurajima!
Wow! Your Japanese is great for only 90 days of studying! You have every right to be proud of yourself. I would recommend two UA-cams for Japanese, Miku Real Japanese and Onomappu. On Miku Real Japanese, Miku teaches grammar, some kanji, and has lots of vlogs in Japanese to listen to. I recommend her video "100 verbs to survive in Japan". She not only shows the verbs in hiragana and kanji, but she acts out the verbs which is super helpful. Onomappu is great for listening practice because he speaks Japanese slowly (but not painful slow) on various topics. I've been learning Japanese for a while and still struggle with kanji and still haven't figured out how to learn it effectively either, so don't worry, everyone struggles with it. You can do it, Daria!
I agree. I studied for over two years. I do not recall ever learning so many new words. But online materials did not exist in the early 1990s. I did it by listening to cassette tapes.
I find it amazing, how you're able to progress very quickly in a language that's completely different than your native tongue and still able to progress and Improve at such an amazing speed💖. You're such an incredible person and also thank you for all you've done for me and others in learning your beautiful mother tongue which is Russian. Personally I've found Russian to be quite easy and I can actually use the cases and it's tenses easily and all other types of endings for situations easily thanks to you, I only need to learn more vocabulary, adjectives and adverbs and that's it since I know their endings and such, it's all thanks to you and thank God I didn't have any problems with the Russian language it felt like a smooth sail actually and I'm very happy about that, feels kind of amazing and I'm quite happy that I had it easy compared to others anyways thank you so much for being such an amazing teacher and sorry for the long comment and I hope you're able to master Japanese and fulfil your childhood dreams 💖love you 💖.
Oh and to add on I'm already good in Russian just need to learn more words, verbs, adverbs and adjectives and then I'll be able to call myself a fluent Russian speaker, thank you so much for being such an amazing and lovely teacher never once have I ever felt bored in any of ur lessons instead hyped because of your amazing personality and method of teaching 💖.
I started studying Russian before the war so I could speak with the many Ukrainians in my city. I have paused that, for now, but a great resource for me was Russian Made Easy with Mark Thompson (and Russian Accelerator). There's apparently a Japanese program based on the same method (Japanese Made Easy?), so I would recommend giving it a try (should be free on UA-cam) and seeing if you like it. Everyone learns differently, so you never know.
Your results are amazing, and i don't know Japanese. My tip would be the same for any memory forming exercise, the best is a rich environment in the language but keep a strict minimalist material quantity. It's like eating food without excess and glutonny or it won't stay with you. I find that having a virtual character that you follow and hear talking works well. Since you are one of the top language teacher in the world, i know you know this better. I like when language books tell a story and the same character return session after session.
Wow for 3 months that’s amazing, I recently took up Russian, despite what you said about knowing the Russian alphabet and being able to read it, I find that not very true lol, some words don’t just don’t translate to what you think they will be, like привет I wouldn’t read that as hi, it’s all a memory game and yours is strong lol but congrats your doing very good
I meant that when you learn the alphabet you can mostly read everything properly, there will be no surprises in spelling like in English: in chat, chef, chemistry the ch sounding differently. Russian has very little of that:)
@@americanrussianlife I feel like a lot of individuals around the world have been exposed to Japanese culture (language) through anime! There’s a lot of great anime series to watch!
Dasha this is a little out of topic but do u know any Russian series or music that I can listen to and watch? I'd like to improve my listening and accent as well as enjoy Russian music and series. Do u have any recommendations? Would love to hear from you 💖thank you💖.

♡ My tip for language learning ♡ I put a very good schedule on how I language learn every week and I switch it every week to keep doing great, this is what I do ( I am still extremely scared to speak my target language and I still have limited responses to things people say to me in the target language. I have been learning for 2 years but I'm still trying to get past that, I have special needs so I learn a bit differently but I also have deppresion so grabbing my books can be hectic at times but I don't give up no matter what ♡ ) This is what my schedule looks like - 13/ДЕК Вторник - Accu P4 / Numbers / CWAP 14/ДЕК Среда - Exercise Words / 2020 / CWAP 15/Дек Четверг - Accu P4 / Numbers / CWAP 16/Дек Пятница - Exercise Words / 2020 / CWAP 17/Дек Суббота - Any/CWAP 12/Дек Воскресенье - any/CWAP On Monday ( Понедельник ), I take breaks ( to me, CWAP means " Common words and phrases, " 2020 " means all the words I practiced in 2020 and then I review them, Accu is abbreviated for " Accusative " and P4 means Part 4, sorry for my weird terminology xD ) This is my review schedule but then after that, I do my other work but this is my whole schedule - Review CWAP and the 2 other topics of the day Russian word and sentence study for each case ( P Part 4 ) Reading CUDU ( 3 conversations / 10 attempt limit ) ( I have attempts due to getting overwhelmed easily and I have GAD too so it helps me ) Numbers CWAP My target language is Russian but if I got anything wrong, please tell me ♡ ♡ Добрый день и благодарю вас ♡

NihongoDekita and Mochi real Japanese are amazing youtubers for Japanese. You may check them madam. And if you want to learn calligraphy of Kanji you may check 'Japanese Calligrapher Takumi'.
Japanese language has been my dream since childhood! Now finally I decided to take it seriously and try to learn it.
This is what I have learned so far in terms of Japanese grammar:
- particles wa, mo, o, ni, de
- present and past tense of verbs
- present and past tense of adjectives
- the-form of verbs
- different things like telling the time, speaking about price, etc.
At this point I'd love to expand vocabulary and become more relaxed while speaking and reading.
If you have any suggestions, please, let me know:)

I am learning Russian so I'll write about my experiences with that. I know a lot of people work better with a structure, but I don't. The only thing I make sure to do is to have spent at least 20 minutes a day with Russian (whether that is reading, listening, doing exercises, translating, meeting with my tutor, etc.). That is my only "rule". Every few years for the past 20 years I would pick Russian back up (I took a year in college), learn a little, then quit. Since February though, I have spent time with the language every single day and have no plans to stop and I think this is due largely to how I have gone about learning this time. By having only that one rule I make sure I never lose motivation. Some days I spend hours, some days only 20 minutes, and everything in between. If I get frustrated, I move on to something else. For example if I'm getting lost with the exercises in my workbook, I might go find someone's UA-cam video about the same topic or even just watch a video on a different topic or story in Russian. I'm learning for my own fun so I feel like if I am not having fun, there really isn't any point. It might mean it takes me 10x as long to learn concepts as others, but I don't care because I have so much fun! Here are some random things that help me--videos with transcripts (I'm a Patreon of a couple of people); the Tochka.ru textbook series (these are structured perfectly for me!); having italki tutors that I can practice speaking with and who can guide me without being strict; listening to podcasts; watching youtube videos from russian teachers and others; having "phrases of the day" or "words of the day" that I put up on my whiteboard at work that I can look at and practice with (I try to choose words that I hear a lot and just can't seem to remember so that I finally internalize them); reading russian short stories out loud to my husband. Basically I just "play" with Russian all the time and it has paid off over time. I've probably made more progress in the past 10 months doing all this random stuff than I had in the 20ish years before when I'd try to follow the sort of "school room" language learning I was taught in college. I've thought about taking a class again, but I think what really works for me is having fun, flexibility, and autonomy. So my best recommendation as a learner (or what works for me): Keeping it fun and interesting keeps you motivated. You might not learn fast, but you'll never stop wanting to learn (hopefully!)!
I like the Tochka textbook too, it's very communicative
If you are interested in seeing Mt. Fuji, you should try viewing from Tokyo Sky Tree in the sunset. It was amazing...Mt. Fuji looked like a giant monster, towering over the cities. Definitely a must-see.
wow that's definitely on my list now! thank you
There are two books: “Basic Kanji vol. 1” and “Basic Kanji vol. 2” by Chieko Kano. Some people I know had success with them. I am a bit (😂) older and got my start with Roy Andrew Miller’s “A Japanese Reader: Graded Lessons for Mastering the Written Language (Tuttle Language Library)” I also recommend P.G. O’Neill “Essential Kanji: 2,000 Basic Japanese Characters Systematically Arranged For Learning And Reference”. The Kanji are introduced so that the examples (2 or 3 with each new one) are only kanji that you already know. Also, you can conveniently carry it around for looking up unknown kanji. This was a real plus for me.
Молодец! Это так круто! My first thought was kind of a downer because I thought I've been studying Russian longer than that and I couldn't have done that well. But then I started thinking about it a little more and I think I could come pretty close!
I think starting with just one resource was the way to go. That's been an issue for me. There are so many good resources and I tend to bounce around.
yes, it's better to pick one and keep all the "noise" out
I started following your real Russian a year ago. I have shown this video to my daughter. She is a little lazy. So I told her to look at your dedication and consistency. Thank you. Best of luck!
thank you!
Hi Daria, Best wishes for you and your Family at Christmas. So in your shoes? Well for me the hardest part is finding time to study it. A day in my life. I go to bed too late and I get up at the last possible minute. Bad habit, I know. When I get home from work I am too tired to do anything, Sometimes I have go to the shops after work for our Dinner. Then we we try and go for a nightly walk for some mild exercise. As you get older it's a case of use it or lose it so we keep walking. Then we watch "Dr Who" on TV for a few episodes, chill out time, and finally we say our Family Prayer and go to bed and do it all again the next Day. It is very difficult to find the quality time that I need to devote myself to learning the language. But however, when I do find those special moments it is all about practice and repetition. Firstly I began writing the cyrillic alphabet at every opportunity several times a day for months on end and even with all that effort I still get the order mixed up but the order wasn't my priority. Just remembering all 33 letters was my main focus. Then I began picking up other little things about the alphabet like the hard and soft vowels and that some of the feminine stuff ends with an "A" . I need to refresh again because I am forgeting it. But I imagine it is a bit like when we were in school all those years ago when we had to write down the words Three times and write them in a sentence once. Hope that helps.
I understand you😢 Finding time is hard for me too:(
This was such inspiring content! I watched your UA-cam posts last year to learn Russian. You are a superb language teacher. It’s SO distressing what’s happening in Russia. I have quit Russian now and I am learning Spanish (I live in Albuquerque, NM, and there are a couple people I can try to speak Spanish with who don’t speak any English! It’s a treat. One is in a bakery.) Anyway, I have also just begun Japanese. You are obviously a professional linguist. I won’t be able to keep up. I loved this video, though, and I hope you make more about learning Japanese. Again, very inspiring!!
it’s sad that you decided to quit on Russian😢 I hope you’ll get back!
@@americanrussianlife I on the other hand decided to study Russian harder, partly from antagonism to Putin, and mostly because my many online Russian tutors have fled to other countries or hiding behind a VPN, They need my support and I need to protect my investment of time spent mastering Russian. By the way, I also speak Spanish. Mexico is just over 100 miles from Orange County, California.
Thanks for this contribution. So amazed by your progress. I am so far behind in learning Russian but I am happy with the small progress I have made. Japan would probably be the best place for me to live. I have heard Japanese people say that there is some sort of connection with my native land, Finland. I think they are a quiet people with deep spiritual values. I work at my Russian vocabulary but some words are very difficult to stick in my head so I have to go over and over again. But I love the mystery of the words. They intrigue me. My interest continues strong. I have Pushkin and Dostoyevsky and Bulgakov waiting for me. Thanks for your video. I appreciate you very much as my better.
I love Dostoevsky and Bulgakov a lot🎉
Mushi Mushi Ohio Gozymas -You are talented. Learning more in 90 days than I did in 18 months in the U.S. army in Okinawa in 70's. Kobe beef is the food to eat there. Konichiwah
thank you :D
I have been studying Russian for about 80 days now and very consistently. I’ve come along away! And I think what drives me so much is how much I genuinely am interested and just enthralled by the language. As if everyday I’m uncovering more and more secrets that I wasn’t supposed to understand.
And it seems you have the same drive with Japanese, which may be a secret weapon to never lose that spark/love for learning the language.
And I also wanted to say thank you, bc without the Real Russian Club, there’s no way I would understand Russian grammar like I do. Спасибо!!
try making a presentation like that, it motivates you to speak :)
Мне очень нравится "Кухня". Я уверен, что в Японии есть такие телевизионные шоу.
Отличная работа с вашим японским!
да, Кухня супер
So cool! Before I started studying Russian, I learned Japanese in High School. You speak so well, I can't believe it was only 3 months!
thank you!!! I'm so happy!
My 16-year-old niece is learning Japanese and she's doing very well. She's not learning it in school she's learning it on her own and she is doing awesome! I think you will do great, Daria.
how long has she been learning?
@@americanrussianlife my niece has been learning for a little over a year and a half now and she is doing very well. And I think you are doing well too.
And also I wanted to thank you for all the videos you have been making to help people like me learn russian. Thank you so much. I am getting much better because of you.
I have been watching your videos for several years now.
I also have all of your books and they are awesome and very easy to understand. Thank you so much for all your videos you make and the hard work and time you put into them, and taking time out of your precious time to teach me and others how to speak your beautiful, beautiful language.
Еще раз большое спасибо за вашу помощь. Вы прекрасный преподаватель русского языка. благодарю вас.
Tips:
1. If you want to watch UA-cam videos, Misa from Japanese Ammo is a very good teacher. She is very elaborate and informative, and she teaches lots of beginner grammar and vocabulary.
2. Kanji can be difficult. I suggest learning the basic 200-300. They are usually separated into topics, such as family, school, food, etc. The best kanji to start with are the family kanji (母、父、弟、兄、姉、妹、etc). Also, try to learn the simple verb kanji, like 行く(いく).
3. Speaking is important. I neglected speaking in school, so I wasn’t confident speaking in front of people. Once you get the pronunciation right, you can feel very confident in your ability.
Excellent! You are speaking Japanese well! My daughter is working in Japan & she loves it there! I hope your dream trip to Japan happens soon!🏖😎
I hope so too! thank you so much! where does she live?
I have found the LingQ app very helpful for learning Spanish. Lots of mini stories to read, and it is possible to create vocab lists to review from the stories. On my phone, I can easily review vocab and listen to stories while I’m doing routine tasks (household chores or waiting in lines), or during commute.
Great video Daria. Thank you. You are an inspiration!
I'll try it, thank you!
That's amazing! I thought it wasn't possible to reach such a high level in Japanese in only three months, I'm shocked you have accomplished that, and that's so motivational, not only for the one who want to learn Japanese, but any other languages, kudos to you!
thank you so much!
You're welcome, I'm glad you answered me, I love you're channel!
I studied Japanese from 1990 to 1993 because I was working with Japanese software engineers from Fuji Xerox. I worked for Xerox. I never traveled to Japan. I worked in El Segundo, a small town just a few miles from the Los Angeles International Airport. Our work ended in 1993 and by 1994, I was out of a job due to another economic slowdown. That was thirty years ago. I fear I have forgotten everything and so I am listening to your video to determine if I remember anything. Actually, as I type my words, I am listening. I actually now remember a lot.
My word Daria, that was truly impressive. Thanks for sharing your experience, enthusiasm, and process.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations. Keep studying!
Your progress is extraordinary. Keep it up! I love the Japanese language and culture.
thank you!!!
How far did you get in the Genki book in 90 days? Could you describe your workflow regarding your studying during the 50 minute time period? I'm just blown away!
Awesome job!
you were amazing daria i shocked i have been learning japanese like 3 years and i don't want to talk about it :D you should definitely check benjiros beginner-japanese channel the channel is not about grammer or anything but pure comprehensible input
Really impressive! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
WOW ! I am really impressed. Well Done Daria !
Yay! Thank you!
Я хотеп учиться китайский но сейсас, после тебя слушал говорить по-японски, и я думаю это очень прекрасный язык
китайский сложный -_-
Wow!!! Darya!!! You're amazing!!!
Your Japanese is almost perfect, right!?!?
I'm a Japanese woman.
And I have been learning Russian for 9 months.
So your videos help me learn Russian.
But I can't speak Russian like you.
This video stimulated me!
I'll do my best!
я буду очень стараться!
Большое спасибо!
ありがとうございます！
I guess Russian is a little bit more difficult in terms of grammar.
ありがとうございます！
You spoke Japanese very well. I'm so impressed on how talented you are. Not only are you very beautiful but you're very talented as well. It's very rare when you get the two combinations together in a girl. I too have a dream to go to Japan and speak the language. I'm barely studying the alphabet at the moment. But I hope to be just as good as you before I go.
thank you :)
I actually started following you several months ago to learn Russian, but now I find myself knowing little Russian while somehow learning Japanese for a month and a half🤣 I’m impressed by your huge progress within such a short period of time. Now you are my inspiration to learn both the languages! To better learn Kanji, from the perspective of a native Chinese speaker, I would say that maybe picking up some basic Simplified Chinese characters could help you understand the structure of Kanji and its connection with the meaning. Well you are not alone in having struggle with Kanji, and it is still kinda troublesome for me as a user of Simplified Chinese😂, since it is based on Traditional Chinese. That’s why I guess to learn something complicated, learning something basic could be helpful.
Good luck with your learning Daria :)
You've made very good progress during these 90 days, keep it up 👍
Thank you! 😃
Super cool Daria! The Japanese language is so beautiful. I did the full Pimslur program on it and have a notebook filled with my attempt to learn it, sadly I only remember "good morning" and "it's over there" 😔 Then after I heard Russian and learned the alphabet I was hooked! Can understand and speak it pretty well (brokenly of course, and with the help of your content)But listening to you maybe I'll try Japanese again, you are inspiring! Thanks Daria😊
Oh my! You are amazing!
thank you❤
are you kidding me? Only 3 months and you are able to speak very well! I'm impressive!
thank you!!!
She's soooooooooo damn talented!!
awww thank you :)
Congratulations dear Daria 🎊 👏
You are genius
Молодеееец Даша! Привет из Хиросимы Японии🇯🇵
Don’t worry kanji isn’t easy even for native Japanese speakers lol
I hope you enjoy your trip to Fuji🗻
Wow! Daria, great to see you continue learning Japanese, especially after such a long break! I believe you will master it. Good luck! 🙂👍🏻
it's been 13 years :D so technically it's from zero again :D
I don't understand Japanese (except for arigatogzaimasu (thanks to an old television and in India) and gomenasai (thanks to TaTu):D, but you sound amazing talking Japanese for 3:50 minutes straight. )))
With kanji, pictograms were the most helpful for getting it to set into mind, but memorizing stroke numbers and orders were the most helpful for fluent muscle memory. I will admit, I lost my resolve after the 3rd grade level...
I'll try!
Darya, you did such a brilliant job❤
I’m so happy to see you speaking Japanese, which is my mother tongue!
I would say the fastest way of learning kanji is simply to writing and reading again and again, unfortunately😂 Yet it could help you understand and memorize more kanji to understand what each part in a kanji sounds or means. We have many kanji which are combinations of two/three simple kanji!
When you come to Japan, please come to Fukuoka and Kagoshima! Fukuoka is famous for delicious and not-pricy seafood😋 Kagoshima has old samurai buildings and a peace museum in Chiran, and an active volcano called Sakurajima!
thank you so much! I'll start writing kanji every day
Make a video about your trip and all the different technology they have please!
My tips would be to learn the て form and the dictionary form of verbs. They will open up a whole new level of possible things you can say.
I started on them:)
Your pronunciation sounds amazing!
really?😳
Fantastic!
Wow! Your Japanese is great for only 90 days of studying! You have every right to be proud of yourself. I would recommend two UA-cams for Japanese, Miku Real Japanese and Onomappu. On Miku Real Japanese, Miku teaches grammar, some kanji, and has lots of vlogs in Japanese to listen to. I recommend her video "100 verbs to survive in Japan". She not only shows the verbs in hiragana and kanji, but she acts out the verbs which is super helpful. Onomappu is great for listening practice because he speaks Japanese slowly (but not painful slow) on various topics. I've been learning Japanese for a while and still struggle with kanji and still haven't figured out how to learn it effectively either, so don't worry, everyone struggles with it. You can do it, Daria!
Thank you! Subscribed!
I agree. I studied for over two years. I do not recall ever learning so many new words. But online materials did not exist in the early 1990s. I did it by listening to cassette tapes.
WooW Daria, awesome 😲👍
Thank you! 😃
I find it amazing, how you're able to progress very quickly in a language that's completely different than your native tongue and still able to progress and Improve at such an amazing speed💖. You're such an incredible person and also thank you for all you've done for me and others in learning your beautiful mother tongue which is Russian. Personally I've found Russian to be quite easy and I can actually use the cases and it's tenses easily and all other types of endings for situations easily thanks to you, I only need to learn more vocabulary, adjectives and adverbs and that's it since I know their endings and such, it's all thanks to you and thank God I didn't have any problems with the Russian language it felt like a smooth sail actually and I'm very happy about that, feels kind of amazing and I'm quite happy that I had it easy compared to others anyways thank you so much for being such an amazing teacher and sorry for the long comment and I hope you're able to master Japanese and fulfil your childhood dreams 💖love you 💖.
Oh and to add on I'm already good in Russian just need to learn more words, verbs, adverbs and adjectives and then I'll be able to call myself a fluent Russian speaker, thank you so much for being such an amazing and lovely teacher never once have I ever felt bored in any of ur lessons instead hyped because of your amazing personality and method of teaching 💖.
@@kpoplover7555 good luck to you! growing vocabulary is the key to being fluent I guess:)
@@americanrussianlife I guess so maybe, thank you Dasha again for everything I'm grateful, thank you 💖
I started studying Russian before the war so I could speak with the many Ukrainians in my city. I have paused that, for now, but a great resource for me was Russian Made Easy with Mark Thompson (and Russian Accelerator). There's apparently a Japanese program based on the same method (Japanese Made Easy?), so I would recommend giving it a try (should be free on UA-cam) and seeing if you like it. Everyone learns differently, so you never know.
I listened to his Russian program. Thank you, I'll look for the Japanese version
🥂 С Новым годом и Рождеством! 🎄
Very impressed.
Photo luke Hawaii is a channel on UA-cam on Saturday and Wednesday he has live chat. He travels to Japan sometimes. He might give you some good tips.
Awesome video! Being decent at Russian and Japanese to travel to their countries is on my bucket list.
Your results are amazing, and i don't know Japanese. My tip would be the same for any memory forming exercise, the best is a rich environment in the language but keep a strict minimalist material quantity. It's like eating food without excess and glutonny or it won't stay with you. I find that having a virtual character that you follow and hear talking works well. Since you are one of the top language teacher in the world, i know you know this better. I like when language books tell a story and the same character return session after session.
top language teacher in the world, huh :D thank you!
The way you speak Japanese was really nice 🌹🌹.
thank you :)

Daria, i always thought you were amazing, but now i think you are a polyglot savant!
haha thank you so much :)
@@americanrussianlife you are very welcome! 👍
Haha- I forgot about your other channel, Dasha
yep😅
Darn, if only I could have progressed that fast in Russian, I'd be a pro at it by now.
I still don't know all the particles 😢
Wow for 3 months that’s amazing, I recently took up Russian, despite what you said about knowing the Russian alphabet and being able to read it, I find that not very true lol, some words don’t just don’t translate to what you think they will be, like привет I wouldn’t read that as hi, it’s all a memory game and yours is strong lol but congrats your doing very good
I meant that when you learn the alphabet you can mostly read everything properly, there will be no surprises in spelling like in English: in chat, chef, chemistry the ch sounding differently. Russian has very little of that:)
I have always been infatuated with Japanese culture. For me, I has able to learn Japanese through anime! Good luck in your studies Daria!
I should watch some anime too, haven't done it for years
@@americanrussianlife I feel like a lot of individuals around the world have been exposed to Japanese culture (language) through anime! There’s a lot of great anime series to watch!
Wow,.You make me feel stupid. I've been learning Russian for ten years and could not do that in Russian. You are phenomenally talented.
Russian is more difficult to learn😅
頑張って

♡ My tip for language learning ♡
I put a very good schedule on how I language learn every week and I switch it every week to keep doing great, this is what I do ( I am still extremely scared to speak my target language and I still have limited responses to things people say to me in the target language. I have been learning for 2 years but I'm still trying to get past that, I have special needs so I learn a bit differently but I also have deppresion so grabbing my books can be hectic at times but I don't give up no matter what ♡ )
This is what my schedule looks like -
13/ДЕК Вторник - Accu P4 / Numbers / CWAP
14/ДЕК Среда - Exercise Words / 2020 / CWAP
15/Дек Четверг - Accu P4 / Numbers / CWAP
16/Дек Пятница - Exercise Words / 2020 / CWAP
17/Дек Суббота - Any/CWAP
12/Дек Воскресенье - any/CWAP
On Monday ( Понедельник ), I take breaks
( to me, CWAP means " Common words and phrases, " 2020 " means all the words I practiced in 2020 and then I review them, Accu is abbreviated for " Accusative " and P4 means Part 4, sorry for my weird terminology xD )
This is my review schedule but then after that, I do my other work but this is my whole schedule -
Review CWAP and the 2 other topics of the day
Russian word and sentence study for each case ( P Part 4 )
Reading
CUDU ( 3 conversations / 10 attempt limit ) ( I have attempts due to getting overwhelmed easily and I have GAD too so it helps me )
Numbers
CWAP
My target language is Russian but if I got anything wrong, please tell me ♡
♡ Добрый день и благодарю вас ♡
wow that's called dedication :D
3ヵ月？？？？凄っ！！！凄すぎる！約10ヵ月ロシア語を勉強してますが全く進歩しません😑
