The dictionary is my friend with this issue. Thanks for the review.
Мне понравился смотреть этот видео опять. Спасибо.
Well, it's hard to say, it depends on many things - motivation, talent for foreign languages, time, patience...) and you can't say that I know Russian or English) there is always room for improvement) so just stay strong and enjoy the process - then it will be quicker ;)

I agree with you.
We love you ruskiy@
Hi, Antonia.
I would like to give a tip to any latin student of the russian language about the gender of nouns ending in -ь. It is valid for any of those who studied really well one of the latin languages or for those whose mother tongue is portuguese, spanish, catalan, french or italian (maybe it happens the same with Romanian and any of the minorized latin languages (I couldn't tell. Sorry!)). Depending on the latin language chances are like 99% of the times russian -ь masculines correspond with the the latin masculines and also 90% or 92% of the times russian -ь feminines correspond with the latin feminines.
What I did is a small list of those that don't correspond with my mother tongue. A revealing thing is that only 2 russian masculine -ь nouns are feminine in my tongue and 18 russian feminine -ь nouns are masculine in my tongue.
So, anyone who speaks well a latin language can simplify it this way.
On the other hand russian masculine nouns ending in -а or -я use to be male people. So no problem in remembering this. And neuters also ending in -а or -я are just very few. What we'd call exceptions.
Ah, if german were that easy!
CDEbFGAbB thank you for the information, dear! You are the first person I know (from outside Russia), who told me that Russian is relatively easy :)
Antonia Romaker - English and Russian online Hi, Antonia.
In this matter it is for those who speak one of these latin languages. But believe me, for us any slavic language is hard to learn. It's not only the declensions and the perfective and imperfective verbs matters that are hard for us. The way russian express things is a great hurdle, too. To express simple sentences in russian can be easy but going beyond is another world.
CDEbFGAbB I understand, and that's why I was surprised when you wrote 'Ah, if german were that easy!' :) as if Russian is much easier than German, is it?

Oh, no! Hahahaha... I was talking only about knowing to what gender each noun belongs to. That's the topic of your video. In this matter russian is really plain and simple.
With the german nouns it's a totally different story. There are lots of word endings as well and concepts too that help to determine the gender. Nonetheless they cover about 80%. There are so many exceptions in that language.
Once a russian guy told me that without saying the declinations correctly it's hard for russians to understand what a foreigner means to say. I can assure you that this doesn't happen when speaking german.
You know, compared to russian there are two missing cases (instrumental and prepositional), and just 5 letters do all the declinations: e, m, n, r, s. Also the masculine and neuter genitives use to be equal, and masculine and neuter datives use to be equal, too. Something similar happens with the feminines and the plurals.
And the accusative is equal to its nominative in feminine, neuter and plural. Only the masculine accusative changes.
I suppose that also their knowledge of a simple language like english, without declinations and just one article make them understand what a foreigner means to say in their language in spite s-he speaks grammatically wrongly.
Прости меня, потому что я писал немного по русский. Но это трудный с две алфавитами. Желаю что следующего раз я пишу лучше. ;)
Thank you for this very interesting and useful tip ! For sure it will help !
Й is considered a semivowel... The correct transliteration for this letter would be the J to sound like the german J...
Since the latin Y os used for Ы, it doesnt represent the same sound as J...
мда.. смотрю видео, и понимаю, как мне повезло родиться в России. пробовать выучить ЭТО с нуля ну очень сложно. я бы точно застрелился
кстати, объясняешь хорошо. даже с моим английским многое понятно
Здорово! Значит и для Вас это видео тоже оказалось немного полезным)
и Вы правы, русский, как родной - это очень круто! Выучить английский нам намного проще, чем иностранцу русский :)
I think that is very useful, you are a good teacher I hope learning russian with you, can you answer a question? how longer do you think that someone really can learn this difficult language?
pepeusamp its very relative
My native language is belarusian so russian is very simple
For a korean or arabic student it shall be more difficult
For brazilians, mexicans the difficulty will be at medium level
But also how much time you save for studying and how easy it is for you to learn a foreign language
U are u russian or American. U speak both language very well
In our Russian language, it is also necessary to remove the genus. And replace the pronouns with Finnish!
