How to Have FIRST CONVERSATION in Russian

[@mopas6386]

Be Fluent in Russian is secretly connected to our brains and thus makes videos according to our present obstacles... спасибо большое за все!

[@bluediamond2309]

Oh Those words felt so good. "i Know You will improve a lot"

[@РеспубликаЧикиБрики]

I have been practising Russian through duolingo for just under a year now, on top of that I look up five random words to memorize and practice for my vocabulary everyday, I’m actually getting pretty decent at reading and writing russian, however because I’m not used to speaking to people, when I hear the words my brain freezes and I can’t think of what to say, it’s kind of weird but I guess that’s what happens when you learn from a book or from literature

[@satan5888]

Hello Chris, I'm glad you're making progress, but about the problem you mentioned. Here's what I do: I repeat the words to myself (making sure to pronounce it correctly or as best as I can - listening to native speakers regularly) I make the words more than just something I know - I keep them on the tip of my toungue & speak to myself in Russian. I hope this helps! Удача !🍀

@@satan5888 i dont have any problems with saying or speaking the words, its listening and processing them thats the challenge

[@satan5888]

@@chrislaverick6413 Oh I'm sorry. I apologize I have no way of helping you there. I have no problem picking up words, personally. I think Fedor (Be Fluent) made a video about improving listening skills but I didn't watch it. Wishing you more luck. ❤👨‍🎓

@@satan5888 thanks buddy, yeah i just gotta find someone who speaks it and practice listening, it is odd though how i can read it, but am very slow to listen

[@satan5888]

@@chrislaverick6413 I don't think I have as big of a vocabulary as you do, as I have not studied very long. However, if a non native, non fluent friend would suffice, I would like to practice with you. And that way, I could probably pick up some more vocabulary from you.

I literally labeled everything in my house lol. Then after it's memorized i think of in or at в Or на. I try to form sentences with these things. я мой руки в раковине. Or я иду в магазин. чашка на столе.

I have very important interesting real life topic. I am in (УФМС), applying for (РВП) or (вид на жительство). Dealing with Russian bureaucracy is a big challenge 😂 the big problem with real life conversation for us (foreigners) is listening! When people hear you speaking Russian they start speaking back to you and this when the frustration start 😌 reading and speaking Russian is not as hard as listening and understanding.

[@SpankyHam]

The Russian bureaucracy knocks out the brain and can exasperates almost any adequate person. This goes back to the Tsar's times.

Молодец! Спасибо

Love your videos but I was wondering: what do you think of Duolingo for learning Russian? Is it a good source to learn Russian?

[@Lama-tt4eg]

He already made a video about this. check videos lists on his channel.

[@shreddder999]

How do you stop the other person from hitting you with super advanced sentence structure and verb forms?

[@Y2KTOKKIE]

What is the difference between иметь and есть? Both translate to "to have".

[@KulturaTV]

Иметь is very formal and is rarely used. It means something like "to possess" or "to own". Sometimes, however, it can be used in set expressions such as "иметь в виду" (to mean, intend, have the intention). Other than that it's rare. Есть has several meanings, one of which is, of course, "to have". This is your go-to for indicating possession in everyday language. You use the construction "у меня, у тебя etc. есть" for personal phrases, and, for example "[там] есть" for "there is". I hope that makes sense.

Thank youu

[@liciagrainger7979]

My best chance to actually communicate in Russian would be at a specialty supermarket where they sell Russian products, with Russian clerks. They usually greet me in Italian first (I live in Rome, Italy), that sort of discourages me to try out my feeble Russian. What would be your suggestion to initiate a simple dialogue with them (without looking like a pest or a freak!), on my next visit?

[@SpankyHam]

In England, it is customary to talk about the weather at a meeting. In Russia, most conversations are traditionally reduced to 2 topics-women and politics.😄 You can directly explain that you are learning Russian and would like to practice a little with the store staff if it does not cause them inconvenience. Можете прямо спросить сотрудников магазина не против ли они немного поговорить с вами на русском, когда вы приходите за покупками. В России есть пословица - "За спрос не бьют в нос" - No one will punch you in the nose for asking a question.

[@liciagrainger7979]

@@SpankyHam thanks, I think that's the best approach. probably the biggest challenge for me is overcoming my introverted nature. Maybe I should get Fёdor's "Да Нет Наверно" and wear it to the store 😂 oh and I need to leave my OH outside, who always keep talking loudly in Italian for all to hear😁

[@SpankyHam]

@@liciagrainger7979 Ахаха, you can come to the store with a huge flag that says "I want to talk to someone in Russian. PLEASE!" 😄😃😄

@@SpankyHam 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah no use beating around the bush, just go at the throat 😝😝😜

[@SpankyHam]

Go for it - imagine yourself as a Western World spy parachuted into the Cold War-era Soviet Union territory. And as much as possible, try to speak clearly and naturally, because if you fail and give yourself away , you will face a terrible GULAG prison system. 😃

[@martinschneider677]

Damn that seems fun

[@satanael_el]

now that's what i call an analogy

[@cluckygirl792]

😂 me and my Ukrainian partner have fun practicing our difficult letters, namely “V” for her and ы for me😂. Yep, we gotta work on those lazy muscles. Constructions- that’s what I do to help develop my speaking.

[@SpankyHam]

By the way в русском 2 формы of "partner" word 1) партнёр (m.), партнёрша (fem.) 2) напарник (m.) , напарница (fem.) - you can ask your partner to explain the difference next time
