How I Learnt Russian on My Own

[@УэстернСпай]

Thanks for this video. It has been an inspiration. I will try learning 5 Russian words a day, but sometimes learning 1 word means learning 12 variations hahaha.

[@AbrahamSalako2019]

Yes! I see what you mean! Well, you can keep it one variation at a time 😂😂😂. The goal is not to stop. CONSISTENCY!

[@УэстернСпай]

@@AbrahamSalako2019 Yeah! I feel that.. 🤣 People keep telling me to focus on one case at a time, but I find it hard to do much with a word if I only know the nominative form. But then again it's hard to do much when I keep mixing up all the cases anyway... so maybe I should just take the advice.

You will figure out all the variations later on. If you mind, my personal approach of learning languages (btw I'm Russian) is to avoid all 'linguistic' ways and learn it as a child. Children don't ask for cases explanation, they just catch the sentence mom or dad just said and repeat it, they even imitate intonation (if we speak about tonal languages it's important). So, be as a child as one guy once said...

The part about volunteering in a library is inspiring. How did you go about it. Did you just ask a library if you could do it? How did people find out about it in order to come to the classes? I'm very interested in this.

[@AbrahamSalako2019]

I'd say I was lucky to be invited by the American Corner to the Library. It was a call for volunteers, my head of department told me about it and I just happened to be available. They organised and call for students all I did was only to show up and then It continued from there. You might as well look out for branches of The American Corner in your country on Instagram. I wish you the best.

@@AbrahamSalako2019 спасибо! Thank you for your reply and your video!

[@kidgaminggaming5731]

Yeah, i started learning it too. I find its best to. Learn enough vocabulary first. Cases are useless if you know not much vocabulary and it'll be much much much harder. Than it has to be also when you finish learning enough vocabulary adjective nouns verbs adverbs prepositions literally LEAVE NOTHING OUT learn the 5 7 and 8 letter rule. When you dive into grammar. Im telling you itll help you so much. And make things ao much clearer and after that cases should be A BREEEZEEEE to learn then after that technically you should be able to communicate 5/10 the other half would be learning how VERBS AND ADVERBS WORK and plural singular stuff but yeah thats the strat im doing right now. I learn ten words per day. And i use duolingo to give me a feel of how russian is spoken. But yeah 10 words per day would be 3650 words by the end of the year which is more than enough *if you learn yhe rigjt words to speak and communicate in fact russian speakers require 500 of the most common words that are used everyday to be able to communicate

[@AbrahamSalako2019]

Yes, thanks for the comment. Also, as an educator, I have experimented with my students, and one thing I have discovered is that students who focus on grammar from the beginning tend to struggle with speaking. They always think of the correct grammar to use, while others aren't scared of making mistakes until they get it right. And eventually, they do get it right.

😂😂😂

[@beyaz487]

Do you think russian or English is harder? I think English grammar is easier but the amount of phrasal verb you should memorize is insanely large 😭

[@AbrahamSalako2019]

Hmmm, I still thing Russian is quite difficult compared to English though. I sometimes struggle with Russian cases. Yes, we have a plethora of phrasal verbs in English, you just have to keep learning. Thanks for the comment.
