[@redcloud4741]

One thing that I realised that I was doing wrong when learning vocabulary is that I would look at the pronunciation with English letters rather than the actual word itself. Sure, it allowed me to say the word fine but it meant that my reading wasn't improving and that I wouldn't be able to recognise that word when reading even though I know how to say it.

[@tumelo4526]

Great point! Thanks for sharing!

[@moxiemouse24]

When I put words and phrases I learn in my Russian notebook, I have the word or phrase in Russian letters, then the English letters for pronunciation, and the English word or phrase all together

[@pozloadescobar]

This is really important! Russian seems to have a lot of very common consonant clusters. The longer words are much easier to pronounce when you can quickly identify the clusters & recall their pronunciation from muscle memory, without having to calque them back to English.

@Evilone i found cyrillic oddly easy to learn, though idk how it is for other native english speakers

[@skibee]

@Evilone I started by writing down all the letters that were the same in English. A, K, M, O, and T are all 1:1 with the English language. Then I wrote down all Cyrillic letters that are Latin characters but represent a different letter. B, 3, H, P, E, C, y, and X are all Latin characters which represent different letters in Cyrillic alphabet. Then I wrote down all Cyrillic letters that look somewhat like Latin characters. Й, Ц, Г, Ш, Щ, Ы, П,Э, Я, Ч, and И all look a bit like Latin characters. Then I wrote down the rest of Cyrillic letters. Л, Д, Ж, Ф, and Ю. After organizing, I put the sound they represent next to each Cyrillic letter. Once I finished this, it was just memorization. The organizing I did definitely helped when memorizing, since I knew which ones I would need to work harder to memorize. It took me a few weeks of constant practice, and now I feel I have a good grasp on Cyrillic alphabet :)

I’ve learned French as a teen from 16-17 yrs old ,so Spanish was the closest language to French I’d translate some of the words into Spanish while visually seeing , reading French. I stopped cuze I graduated HS anyways I was learning Russian I practiced my alphabet like crazy misty everyday for hours. When I got that set I began to read Russian words and sounding every letter with it too. So far that has helped me. Im hoping to get back at it this week. I need Russian Friends

[@lisanidog8178]

Grammar gets me down. It's so confusing so my language learning stops. Wow! You take out the fear of grammar just by explaining it as building a house. Teachers are stuck on grammar and go through it too fast. But you explain grammar easier. I take English grammar for granted because I learned the right words but never thought of it like building a house. Guess that's why my English grammar as a native speaker doesn't always work. It gets too technical. I still don't know lay for laid and when to use it.

Can either you or someone else explain to me what you meant when you said "KZbin Russian is not authentic Russian?" I ask because I'm actually subscribed to several channels from people that are native Russians, that live in Russia, that post vlogs and livestreams in Russian. And I listen to them without the subtitles. And I feel that they have gone a long way towards helping me to "consume Russian content," as you stated. And I also comment on the videos posted in Russian. And will sometimes get responses from the channel owners in Russian too. Just to clarify, I'm just wondering what you mean by what you meant by that statement, is all. I do love these tips, all of them. In fact, I most likely AM going to download those apps you also mentioned, and take advantage of those. Good video, as are all your others that I've seen. Thank you for all you do! Я тебя благодарю!
