[@Angelbabebri]

I think it's a little hilarious that so many of these non-native English speakers already use 'like' as a filler word

[@meltiiice]

yeah, that's a bit funny! russians watch english video, series, films, interviews a lot. even if the video has russian subtitles, we still hear an english speach so we just copy it when we speak.

[@1420channel]

Some of them even said “you know I’m sayin?”! I remember that! 😅

[@YuliyaHorobets]

There is a word "типа" in russian and it's the same as "like". Young people overuse it. It's nothing new for them, in my opinion.

[@raviu2646]

I use like in every second phrase and I'm not a native English speaker

[@lissv2793]

Actually it happens naturally, cause we just kinda bring our slang into language when speaking. For example, we have a word 'teepa'(типа) which we use all the time and in English it will be 'like', 'kinda' and 'sort of'. And we have lots of words for 'you know what I'm saying', for example 'ponimaiesh'(понимаешь), 'dogonyaiesh'(догоняешь) and so on. So we kinda just translate our slang. But the funny thing is we do use lots of your slang (cause we watch eng youtubers, films, shows etc.), but we don't know what slang is considered to be 'black' for example. Or we can mix 'mate' and 'dude' and stuff like that Oh, btw, some of your slang and usual words we already use as ours, for ex. 'okay', 'lol', 'lmao', 'dead', 'fake', 'fail', 'edition', 'come on', 'fxxk up', 'make up', 'forever' and many-many more. I'm not even mentioning 'fxxk' which we use nearly as often as 'bl**t'

Since English is not my first language, I can truly say that speaking is way harder than expressing your thoughts by writing. It takes a couple of seconds to prepare your phrase, set the words in right order etc. Also it’s about the psychological part while you’re speaking with native speaker, you become kinda nervous about not making mistakes, misspellings and looking stupid in front of him. It comes with practicing and I really enjoy speaking English with others who can understand me

я изучал русский язык в течение трех лет, один час в неделю. мой учитель был милым человеком, который любил русский язык. он даже выучил церковнославянский язык. он сказал мне, что его положение как еврея затрудняло поступление в университет. однажды он обнаружил, что его докторская диссертация о Пушкине была опубликована с именем его научного руководителя. Советник сказал ему, что, будучи евреем, он никогда не сможет преподавать русскую литературу, которую он очень любит. Во всяком случае, это было в Советском Союзе. В конце концов он устроился на работу и преподавал русский язык в Америке. он был блестящим человеком и любил всех людей. он никогда никого не критиковал. Мне до сих пор нравится говорить по-русски, и я считаю, что это прекрасный язык. я американец еврейского происхождения, чьи бабушка и дедушка приехали сюда, чтобы спастись от плохих условий в Европе.

If you've studied Russian, you can hear the Russian grammar being formed in their heads as they try to speak English Very similar to how English speakers try to form Russian in their head with English grammar but we have to twist the grammar around for it to make sense in Russian

[@lyubimovann]

True

[@UshankaMaster]

This is something that my English teacher tried to eradicate

[@CommonCommiestudios]

A key difference between Russian and English grammar is that Russian is heavily dependent on word endings (cases and verb endings), but it is possible to shuffle the sentence's word order around very freely; English, on the other hand, relies on word order to mark roles in a sentence and has few grammatical endings (inflectional affixes) Examples: In English, "The dog bit the cat" ≠ "The cat bit the dog" In Russian, "Соба́ка укуси́ла кота́" = "Кота́ укуси́ла соба́ка" ≠ "Кот укуси́л соба́ку" = "Соба́ку укуси́л кот" (same meaning as the above phrases)

[@MINELI222]

This is called language interference,i.e when you try to make a sentence by using word order of your native language grammar. We were told about it when I was in my first year at the university ( my major is interpreting and translation)

It isn't a fair comparison. Russian is considered to be the second hardest language (with Chinese being the most difficult) for a foreigner to learn (and with the quality of our education system - for a native speaker as well), whereas English is one of the most learner-friendly languages in existence (though considered more difficult to learn than German, funnily enough). So don't feel disheartened and keep on learning!

[@nitoginko2187]

Actually, the Cyrillic alphabet is not that hard. Most letters can be translated directly. It takes a little bit of time, but it’s more like a smaller challenge :). There are much bigger ones in Russian. The thing with the grammar is correct. But if you’ll start to learn it, you’ll notice also many similarities, because they’re both Indo-Germanic languages. (Of course, to learn English as a Russian is still pretty hard, so also probs from me👍) And cool to hear you’re learning German :D. Viel Erfolg (much success!)
