Dear Lina, as always, a great video! I can assure my fellow comrades learning this beautiful language that tip n° 4 goes a long way! For example, I've never (ну, пока что..) gone behind the definition of the Instrumental case, however, I sometimes find myself using it correctly in my sentences, purely out of listening how my native friends speak and letting the brain kinda figure it out as it goes 😅

[@LinasLessons]

That’s so cool, thanks a lot ☺️

I loved watching your video. It’s very practical and smart way of learning Russian. Thank you!

I started my Russian learning experience with the genitive case and it was tough - but I wasn't devastated and depressed! I still had enough strength to continue with my life!!!!!

Haha it’s good to hear that!

¡Hola, Lina! Te hice una pregunta hace varios días sobre cuándo la "o" y "a" adquieren el sonido [ə] y cuándo [ɐ]. Por suerte, encontré un vídeo donde lo explicaba y ya tengo la duda resuelta. Sin embargo, desearía que hicieras un vídeo pronunciando todos los fonemas vocálicos del idioma ruso y la posición de la boca y lengua para pronunciarlos correctamente. Si no me equivoco, el idioma ruso tiene 13 fonemas vocálicos: 10 fonemas de vocales acentuadas [ä], [a], [ɛ], [ɛ̝], [ɨ], [i], [o], [ɵ], [u], [ʉ] y 3 fonemas de vocales no acentuadas [ə], [ɐ], [ɪ]. No estoy seguro, ¿pero es posible que tengáis también los fonemas [æ], [e], [ɨ̞], [ʊ] y [ʉ̞]? Agradecería que hicieras un vídeo explicándolos todos, porque apenas puedo diferenciarlos. Aquí te dejo el enlace: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonolog%C3%ADa_del_ruso

[@LinasLessons]

¡Gracias por esta propuesta! Pero desafortunadamente no me especializo tanto en la fonética de la lengua rusa; profundizo más en la gramática en mis vídeos. Quizás algún día lo haga, pero no en este momento 😔

A professional once told me that, the best way to attain proficiency in a language (Russian inclusive) is to interact more with a native. I agree with that to an extent. When I started learning Russian, the word "родственников" was used in a sentence, so I learnt it that way. I never knew until much later that the crude word was родственники. Prior to then, I usually use it in my sentences. If you asked me then, what is Relative in Russian, I would say "родственников" instead of "родственники" Others Своего производства Преграду Etc So I kinda agree with your 3rd tip. Interact and speak freely with natives. I didn't learn cases intoto, just grammar and vocabs. Still learning tho, but I can say I am an improved Russian speaker. A native speaker is what I'm search of.

[@LinasLessons]

Sure, practice with natives (or even with people who speak Russian but they are not natives) is the most effective way to learn!

[@iniobongudoette4481]

@@LinasLessons That's the challenge. В моего стране, я кто нибудь не видел, что говорит в русском языке как носители. Кстати, я из Нигерии в Африке. Здесь, они говорят иностранную языку (романтический языков) Как по-английски, французский, испанский, португальский и так далее. Я Надеюсь, путешествовать в России скоро, но до этого, достигать высокое мастерство уровень в русском языке, может быть, как носители., не возможно.

Very interesting tips. A little late for me. In my Russian classes I meet several good students who know a lot of grammar: verbal aspects, verbs of movement, cases, etc. However, they can hardly speak. I believe that grammar or taking 10 minutes to construct common sentence, although well constructed, is not enough. It should be a slightly faster and more automatic process. For this, grammar could become an obstacle. I believe in balance. Learning a good number of idioms ( commonly used common phrases) has been useful to me. I have studied its structure. When I started studying Russian on my own I imagined that I only had 10 days to learn. Crazy! I bought a new Russian-Spanish dictionary and an old Soviet-era manual (somewhat obsolete) that I only used as a structure or reference on what had to be studied. I didn't waste time learning the alphabet or simple sentences. I studied the compound sentence and the Genitive and Dative case for 3 days. Then I learned for two days to conjugate 10 fundamental verbs. I then spent two days memorizing basic and common grammar structures. On the 8th I set out to learn about 20 idioms. The last two days were to review everything learned, listen to Russian radios, read magazines and improve phonetics. Did I learn to be fluent in Russian? With 300 words learned? Of course not! But it was enough to pass my A1. When I took my first formal Russian language course I already knew quite a bit. This was my beginning: Subject (nominative case) + Direct complement (accusative case) + Circumstantial complements (Genitive, dative, instrumental, prepositional cases). I am convinced that it is better to learn from the end: constructing sentences poorly and then correcting absurd errors. Start conjugating verbs from day one. I'm sorry teacher, I really like your videos but I don't agree with you on this. The traditional method of teaching from the simple to the complex has never worked for me, I need immediate results, that does not mean that I expect to learn Russian in a short time.

[@LinasLessons]

Thank you for sharing your learning experience! No need to be sorry, I perfectly understand that all people are different and what works for me, won’t work for you. I’m glad you found the best way for you to study Russian. I’m sure it’s not easy, but it’s great to see you so motivated and self-aware!

I see what you're saying and you're right, but it does not have to be black-and-white all or nothing. Look at Lina's english! It's excellent and she had to learn it, including all the odd english grammar rules. She understands intimately the language-learning process. Personally, I believe in many, many example sentences of the grammar concept, for example the appropriate case. Then your brain slowly sees the patterns and distinguishes the differences. There is a thing called sentence constructions where you replace a word in a sentence with a similar word. Мы едим пиццу. Мы ____ пиццу. Мы едим ____ Etc. Make Chat-Gpt give you sentence constructions of an example sentence from Lina's courses. The mastery process is kinda like the rubiks cube of the verbs of motion Mt. Everest pile... 😵‍💫.. all we can do is slowly learn and accumulate and our brains will see the patterns. To contrast, NOT learning grammar when I was learning spanish made it so that my brain didn't know how to conjugate words; what to do with words in a particular situation... and why.., and so my speech was choppy, I got made fun of and I gave up.

@@tbountybay3080 ​ Thank you for commenting, although you did not understand my comment. Read again. My challenge was 10 days and I got A1, then I took some classes with a professional instructor, just out of curiosity. I currently do not study the Russian language, for a long time, I never set out to master it. I have carried out the same challenge with different languages ​​such as Hungarian (with 22 cases ), Finnish (16 cases ). I also got A1. On my next vacation I will face the same challenge with Euskera, I also hope to obtain A1. There will always be elements that only a native speaker can digest (and sometimes not even them). I could never fully understand the use of the pronouns "который", "свой", "себя". My native language is Spanish. A Russian friend who learned it told me that he has sixteen tenses. 16! I didn't know, we normally only use about 6. The others only in literature and academic environments. We learn grammar only in the first two years of school, then never again until speech defects appear. I also have Chat gtp, but my challenge is to use real BOOKS and my own brain, I don't want to get used to a computer program "thinking" for me, that's like playing chess using a engine. Good luck! 👍

Am besten learnt man eine Sprache, wenn man sie spricht. I need to meet people who also speak russian. Итак, мне нужно с кем-нибудь говорить по-русски. La experiencia que he tenido por ahora ha sido en el trabajo con rusos nativos.😂😂😂 Но теперь мне не с кем говорить.😂😂😂

If you have a good environment listening to Russian whole day like kids its possible not to study. Unfortunately does not work like that for adults. However we have better brains to process complicated stuff so study study study !!
