Yes, I learned a lot of Russian words , but I had to come to understand grammar cause I wasn’t able to use tenses, looking at your videos help me see some of it , you have to emerse yourself into the language so you can listen,to speak , from my experience,yet I’m still listening, if not for vocabulary you may not understand poka

70 vocabulary 30 grammar
Comment from : @Taylor-wt9zv

in my opinion listening skill is more important in the first place because you can't speak without understanding the person you talk to, if you are good at listening with little bit confidence you can express yourself in some way!

Don´t you have this message in russian? i want for a friend !
Comment from : @adolfohermida6493

Yep, you're correct! Now what do we do about it?
Comment from : @forrestgump1379

The problem I see is that sometimes (or most of the time) some people are afraid to speak because they're afraid to make mistakes in front of a native speaker that might make fun of them There might be native speakers that pretend they don't understand only because you didn't say things correctly And that makes a learner refrain from speaking That's normal You need to be self confident in those cases, speak no matter if you know you're making the most stupid mistake Just speak brThat's why I consider it's so important to speak since the very first moment you begin to learn a language Because the reason you want to learn is that you want to SPEAK You don't learn a language only to write or read You learn it in order to speak and be able to communicate with people from the country this language is spoken So you must practice and practice and practice It is said practice makes perfect!

This is the ONLY situation when the Blue Pill is better than the Red Pill

Hey! It's this background again! I haven't been around for long, but I am watching all of your videos, and I realized that this background was used for your older videos Hopefully nothing bad happened Have a nice day! BTW I just started the vid
Comment from : @momentouscrazynoob1709

Yes! I took two semesters of Russian to speak with the eastern European immigrants in my area, now I'm afraid to use anything I know
Comment from : @LordScalawag

I like your philosophy of learning a new language I assume children learn this way? There was a popular Australian book / movie called "They're a Weird Mob" (Mob is Australian slang for a bunch of people Nothing sinister) An Italian migrates to Australia He has formally learned correct English Therefore, his workmates do not understand a word he says (Australian English can be unusual) Eventually he falls into the way they speak and everything is fine It was a comedy but with an air of truth My parents were similarly immigrants from Yugoslavia They even changed our surname to make it easier for Australians to pronounce (Slavic names are so difficult for English speakers!!!) To be fair, they were running a business and it happened a lot
Comment from : @francissreckofabian01

You are so right To be understood and have a good pronunciation is the key for me I have a college whose pronunciation is so bad I can barely understand her It doesn't matter if she knows all the words in a dictionary or has perfect grammar
Comment from : @The1sista

Suddenly I thought, that it will be a cool thing to have a talk in my naive language (Russian) with the one who's only learning it So, guys, if you want to, you can contact me by discord (Ergy#4290), have a chat or voice call It would be very interesting for me Thanks for you attention xD;
Comment from : @ErgyErgy

Hard to learn when the teacher is so georgoussssssssssssssssss
Comment from : @Boeing737800MAX

Growing up around Russian speakers, I can understand it quite well and can even write in Russian but I am too shy to speak it I know I sound bad but that only goes with practice but I am too nervous to do that haha
Comment from : @BillyBobThe8th

Anything worth doing is difficult Get to work!
Comment from : @MrTomTraubert

in France If you are not grammatically perfect and your pronunciation is not perfect, we will pretend we have no idea what you are talking about Even if you use voudrais instead of souhaite/souhaiter we pretend that you make no sense at all 😂😂
Comment from : @LaFranceBonjour

Great video :D
Comment from : @gH-ni4hv

Russian is my fourth ;)
Comment from : @jatinagarwal17

The reason it is difficult is usually due to 1st language interference Your native language gets in the way of learning a new one It will take time for your brain to adjust to a new and different language systembrYou also talk about language teachers who are fixated on correcting errors from the start It sounds like they have a "get it right from the beginning" teaching philosophy These teachers are usually trying to avoid fossilization If errors are not corrected they may over time become fossilized and part of the speakers language and it will be an error the speaker always producesbrRussian is a grammar heavy language For most when learning Russian it may be the first time they are introduced to the case system So it makes sense why most focus on grammar when learning Russian

5th language :)
Comment from : @RustyRustacean

Are the flash cards only available as an online tool? Or can I buy a hard copy to carry with me to my work?
Comment from : @noahcole3796

Hello! Its not that hard for me to speak Russian, because i come from slovenia, thats a slavic country too
Comment from : @sc00ped83

It depends a lot on your native languagebrWith Portuguese as a basis, you are able to learn basically any other language But I see people all over the world committing the same mistake over and over again: learning Spanish as a second language That is the same as giving an AK47 shot straight into your linguistic abilities, which will rest in peace stucked into castellano
Comment from : @edgarm9767

Your videos are greatbrMotivational and informative!
Comment from : @jamesb8365

It depends on the language In Russian, if you confuse the ending, the meaning of the phrase may turn over English in this sense is easier, he forgives mistakes
Comment from : @AlexFG24

It's really easy
Comment from : @SouthPark333Gaming

jokes on you i learned my second language when i was 4 😌
Comment from : @milkdrinker8504

Anyone how would you say "yes you are" or "no you are not" in Russian? спасибо!
Comment from : @Adde-hy7wx

I think I tend to say I've went and I've gone equally That's great to know when focusing on perfecting Russian
Comment from : @JamesLout

It's actually my third language
Comment from : @chanchong4924

Because my tongue has a boner which is too hard to learn how to pronounce the Russian "R" Anyway, this video is very useful
Comment from : @LukeLairdLoring

It’s not too hard learn the 2th idioms but the 7th, lol
Comment from : @celsoherculano4883

So we say это too often! Well, you say Why too often? The reason is Because or cause🤔 Cause there ain't no Russian speakers round hereMaybe we language learners need to Skype more often! I Skype with you ok?
