    My advice related to cases: just don't learn it as a table. Learn it from the context, from actually seeing it used in sentences. Learning cases from a table killed my joy in learning any language ever. It felt much harder than any physical work.

      This was my experience in German as well. Having a lot of input helped me be able to discern what sounded right. I still studied the case system, but there’s absolutely no way I could rely on figuring that out quickly and maintaining a smooth flowing conversation.

      this is excellent advice. if i had learned all the grammar correctly with tables etc... well i would have just given up. i now speak russian with a LOT of mistakes, but i DO speak and read it. i also enjoy it. this would have been impossible with boring grammar drills

    • @JordaNobody
      @JordaNobody 20 днів тому

      Honestly, I felt the opposite. Russian for free not only has a table but also exercises to help with each case and provides examples on when you would use them. It doesn't explain the cases perfectly to be honest, but to have the table side by side with the exercises helps a lot and then you can remove the table completely when it's a bit more natural.

  • @viewer1339
    @viewer1339 8 днів тому +9

    My humble advice:
    1) Start with fundamental grammar (genders, conjugations, cases) but don’t try to nail everything down.
    2) Develop your vocabulary. It will help your understanding a great deal. You will be able to connect the dots to get an idea of what is being spoken, even if you don’t wholly understand it.
    3) Listen a lot, preferably podcasts that are coming with transcript. This will improve not only your listening but vocabulary also.
    4) You need to speak as much as you can but if you have nobody, talk to yourself. Explain your daily routine to yourself in Russian. Pretend you’re in a restaurant and you’re ordering a meal, etc.
    5) If you don’t know where to start, buy a course book. It will provide the basics in an organized way.
    6) Don’t jump from one YT channel to another. There is no perfect resource but some are smarter than the others
    7) It is one step at a time. You have to be very very patient. It is like watching grass grow (at least for me).

    Good tips. I actually learned how to read and write/speak it before I actually understood it. That worked best for me. You could put something in front of me and I'd read/speak it like a native. I'd have no clue what I was saying or reading but I could read/speak it. After I knew all the quirks with the language, genders, grammar, pronunciations etc that's when I started to focus on understanding it. Completely weird but I did it lol.

    @richardcgs2001 5 днів тому +2

    [1] You forgot one very important aspect in learning vocabulary, including when conjugating verbs: don't ignore ударение - memorize over which vowel the accent falls and the associated pronunciation rules. For example, unaccented "o" is pronounced as "a." In some few instances, moreover, a word may be spelt the same but have the accent in an alternate place with semantic effect. So take мука: with accent over the, "a," you have flour; over the "y," you have torture. Another example: There is a big difference if you say я хочу писать depending on whether the accent is placed over "и" or over the "a" in писать. (The latter means "I want to write;" the former, something you only may want to say with your buddies after drinking a lot of beer and you need bladder relief.) With the accent placed incorrectly, you simply may not be understood engendering a look of confusion or you'll be understood as someone speaking Russian poorly. Consider, for example, how to pronounce correctly the very simple words бабушка (grandmother) and отец (father) using Google translate. Can you hear where the accent falls in each? [2] You exaggerate the general difficulty of determining the genders - masculine, feminine, neuter; only two specific issues of complexity come to mind: (1) words ending with мякий знак (soft sign) ь, which may be either masculine or feminine, and (2) the short array of words like мужчина (man), which, by appearances i.e., the typical feminine ending "a" manifests but, nonetheless, is grammatically masculinе so we get "неграмотный мужчина" and not "неграмотная мужчина." In general, masculine and feminine in French is a much bigger headache than determining m/f/n in Russian. [3] Of course, learning the Cyrillic alphabet is a must but do not exaggerate the difficulties of doing so. Compared to Georgian or Armenian orthography, for example, the Cyrillic alphabet is a cake walk with most sounds, except notably for ы, x and щ, easily replicable by native English speakers. I would, however, recommend the learner undertake learning cursive script right after learning print script; cursive has some tricky nuances and should ideally be mastered early on.

    That's a good video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

    Russian is my first second language as well starting Feb of 2023. It seems that I went about it the right way. Knocked the alphabet out in a few days. That’s the easy part. I used UA-cam resources for a while and then got Babbel. I continued to use UA-cam resources to supplement Babbel. But I have been taking it slow and casual because I have no timeline. I don’t have a need for it. I’m simply intrigued by the language and culture. So even though I’m still only at about tourist level proficiency, because I slacked off heavy learning to focus more on more important things, I stay connected to the language by continuing to watch and listen to content that includes Russian language. I will eventually get back to intense study.

I think this video is pretty right about that you need to start with alphabet etc, but in my opinion its better to start to watch videos in that language to understand how it sounds, then learn basic sentences, and only then start learning about text, writing, etc. Usually people learn language to talk in it, not for texting and then i would recommend to learn sentences (or try to make some) what you would use very often and then actually use them. Even if you learn 10 words from book in single day, you will still forget them if you dont use them daily, cuz ''why you need to remember if you arent using that information?'', you got the point ;)

    The alphabet was the easiest part for me. I'm currently learning it in braille as well as print and let me tell y'all, the print version is much easier. Anyway, the genders were also pretty simple, and I love how predictable the endings are. The verb endings are also predictable for the most part, I'd say about 95 percent of verbs have the same ending rules. I have been learning Russian as a legally blind person and I'm only now starting to learn the cases. Out of the 6 cases, I would split them into 3 sections, easy, medium, and challenging.

      These two sentences have 4 case endings that I probably would have got wrong. Plus it also has one word with the complex example you said you wouldn't even bother explaining yet. And I've been learning Russian for 5 years & the cases make me want to quit often.

    I've been learning Ukrainian for 2 years and it has a lot of the same structure as russian, just like Spanish and French have the same structure (russian and Ukrainian are actually less alike than Spanish and French!). I have found that by using LingQ and stuffing as much vocabulary in my head as possible, it actually helps learn the cases. So I would definitely recommend growing your vocabulary as fast as you can while you learn the cases.... do steps 5 and 6 together.

      Very interesting.
      Is it difficult to use Ukrainian media? I can imagine, that sometimes one should understand both russian and Ukrainian to understand the media. A lot of Ukrainians mix two languages together, some speak only Ukrainian, some only russian. Can you as a foreigner distinguish these two languages?
      I hated our media because when I was growing up in Ukraine a lot of them were only in Russian. Sometimes the name of the show had Ukrainian name, like "Я соромлюсь свого тіла", "Хата на тата", "Міняю жінку" but a large part of the show could be in Russian... Do you understand Russian as well?

      @@marianavytvytska6998 When I was just learning Ukrainian, all I could distinguish was that suddenly I didn't understand a word they said. Now that I've learned a lot of russian words, I can understand that they have switched to russian and sometimes if it's a simple sentence I understand it. It's helpful to know that my lack of understanding is because they are speaking russian... not because my Ukrainian is lacking. And by the way... Slava Ukraine!!

    You don't recommend getting a teacher or lessons? Kind of a red flag if I'm honest as the whole video was actually how I learned Portuguese solo for 4 years and would classify it as the wrong way. Not much in the way of resources either. Speaking more will help but only if you can speak semi-correctly and the amount of nuances within the language are way too complex for a random Russian to explain why they might use one word that means the same thing as five other words due to the context (think бывать, случаться, происходить, итд).

    I'm so jealous! I'm American but self taught myself Russian in HS.
    My HS had a lot of Russian people (and cute Russian boys) I got so interested.
    I learned how to read Russian in one day after checking out a book at our school library.
    I thought it was going to be super hard and tedious but it just came to me. I got so excited and started writing PRINT Russian on my own from what I saw in books. I met many Russian friends in HS and they would help me translate English words into Russian for me to memorize that I wrote on paper.
    Long time later I took a free course of Russian language at a community college. Tbh, it didn't teach me much of what I already knew. But it was fun to be in a class of Russian dedication.
    I then further in life took a credit course of Russian language at a different state community college. They had me take a placement test since I told them I already had some knowledge of the language. They told me I could go STRONG in first year with everything I knew already or I could have some challenge and enter second year since I already knew most of the basics.
    I chose to go to first year because I thought it would be a good idea to fill in any gaps I may have missed from teaching myself.
    Obviously I did amazing in that class but they did teach me to write in cursive which text books never did for me and cursive is the primary writing type for Russian language.
    Tbh. I typed all of this out to reach this point. I struggled SOO much with the case system. I recognize it and am familiar with the concept of it. But it's SOO hard to apply it to all the vocabulary and how much it changes in every form. This is why I am jealous.
    That you can know so many languages and speak them so flawlessly. But Russian, my fav language is your best and even English does well for you.
    I tapped out with Russian at the case system. It was too much to remember and understand. Idk how you did it.
    I think I would do better to just be thrown in the country of Russia and learn over time through experience rather than learning the reason and know how.
