[@casualsatanist5808]

Ive been studying russian for some months now. I can actually do this. I am norwegian, but somehow learned english fluently very early. I remember just watching youtube as a kid, and the norwegian youtubers would suddenly speak english. I merely wanted to understand and speak english. I vividly remember being in 3rd grade and being asked by my teacher some english grammar rule. I didnt know ANY grammatical rules, so I said, although I was cocky about it, that "I dont need to know the rules.". She then challenged me with various sentences I had to translate from norwegian to english, and I easily got everything right. When a friend asked me how I knew, I just said that "it sounded right". Id say I became truly fluent at maybe 14 or 15. But the takeaway I got was that, somehow, you can learn a language through memory... Now, I had spanish for 5 years, and all the grammar lessons made me think I hated learning languages. Yo this day, I know barely ANY spanish, despite getting mostly high grades through middle school and highschool. Ive tried duolingo many times gor multiple languages over the years, and each time, it became a chore. Some months ago I just decided that I wanne understand and speak russian. Its been fun. I decided to analyze the language myself to try and replicate how I learned english. I know this will take years, but im having a blast learning. The only letter I mispronounce when reading russian books (I barely understand what im reading tho lol) is the letter "р". I regularly pronounce it as P and not r. Thank you for a fun video. Oh and btw Может, я и тупой, но я не американец...

I've been speaking Russian for a few years since my neighbour decided he wanted to teach me as a way to make a new friend after moving here (He's a pretty cool guy and essentially taught me by making me remember the sentence structure and then rememberring words and meanins that he spoke to me) but reading it was always a struggle, I could have a decent conversation with someone, but if they asked me for directions and wanted me to write them down I think I would've died on the spot, so this video was very helpful, but I still agree with Dutch, From Transformers Dark of the Moon: "It's a Cyrillic alphabet.

33 letters is too much! Chinese: allow me to introduce myself

[@thehackking4419]

Those aren't letters, those are characters. Chinese uses logography writing system and (i think) they don't count as actual letters as some contains the same sounds. The language that has the most actual letters is Tamil which has around 55 letters (bro's alphabet song has 2 stanzas 💀)

[@kylezdancewicz7346]

@@thehackking4419Well depends what you count a letter as, for example the Khmer language has 74 letters. But it’s a syllabary so it’s for the 74 consonant vowel pairs

[@thehackking4419]

@@kylezdancewicz7346 what i know is that letters are individual characters similar to individual lego pieces that can be structured as words, while logography characters are a set of some sort of "pre-built" letters with built in meaning. Syllabary is somewhat similar to logography, but it takes the characteristic of both.

[@kylezdancewicz7346]

@@thehackking4419 Not really, in a syllabary the symbols still hold phonetic information while in a logogram the characters hold morphological and syntactic information like house. A syllabary is still said as it’s spelt a logogram isn’t so. Also Tamil is complicated as it’s an abugita which means vowels are diacritics and modifiers instead of whole letters so really Tamil is more like 24ish letters and 14ish modifiers with and implicit a vowel. If that counts so should syllabries but if we’re doing abiguetas don’t count individual characters or every consonant modifiers pair.

As an American who's been slowly learning Russian for the past 2-3 years, now, I actually COULD read and fully understand what "Я тупой Американец" said, right away... and was instantaneously offended, within the first 3 seconds of this video. I hope this is a new record for you. 😤 ... Ok, but jokes aside, while basically NONE of this was actually new to me, personally, I think this is a pretty decent way to explain most of the sounds... the only main points where I'd disagree is: 1. The "Щ" sound DOES very much exist (quite frequently, at that) in English, basically JUST as much as "Ш" does... the only issue, is that we don't differentiate the two sounds, whatsoever. They're BOTH merely written as "Sh", and often pronounced somewhat mixed together. For example... "Shoot", "Shut", and "Russian" are pronounced with a pretty clear "Ш" sound... whereas "Sheet", "Shit", "Shin", "Shine" and "Sheer" all make clear "Щ" sounds. One example of an English word where the "Sh" sound we use is somewhat a MIX between "Ш" and "Щ", is in the word "Shell". 2. "Ж" is literally my FAVORITE letter in the entire Russian language... and I have never in my LIFE heard the word "Je m'appelle" before. Maybe, ahh... use some more COMMON words, like Pleasure, Treasure, Regime, Graduation, Engineer, Occasion, Measure, Leisure, Nausea, Closure, Mortgage or Fissure, instead. 3. Your explanation on "Ы" is ALMOST identical to the one I originally used to ACTUALLY learn to pronounce it properly, except for one, REALLY major, key point... that it takes literal MONTHS of practicing the cursed letter, just to strengthen your neck muscles enough TO make the sound, properly!! 4. Russian "Х" is NOT just an English "H". It's FAR harsher in sound, and can be pronounced properly by essentially getting yourself READY to make an English "K" sound, but then merely blowing outwards, instead... creating an EXTREMELY harsh-sounding "H sound", that realistically sounds more like someone clearing their throat, than anything. 5. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="458">7:38</a> Как ты знаешь мне не Мужской? Ты кобель. (This just says "How do you know I'm not a male? You very kind person.") 6. TECHNICALLY "Ь" is sooorta just a really, REALLY short "ee" sound, and COULD be explained quite easily, if literally ANYONE just used the difference between "Ш" and "Щ" to explain it! ... And "Ъ" is easy as heck to understand. It's just a brief pause, mid-word, because the Russian language is generally spoken at a FAR faster pace than the English language.

[@Dahmnbro]

"Ь"- not reading. "Ы" -ее. Fun fact: "Жи-ши" is readind "Жы-ши", but never write this. Like "Ча-ща" is correct "Чя-щя" incorrect🤫🤫🤫

Pro tips for those who want to sound less foreign :) <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="62">1:02</a> Don’t aspirate T and K (and also П /p/), i.e. don’t add that H-sound. For instance, pronounce T as in STOOL, not as in TOOL. Also, T (and other T-like sounds: Д /d/, Н /n/, С /s/, Л /l/) are pronounced into the teeth, so put the tip of your tongue against the upper teeth, not against the ridge above them as you might do in English. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="114">1:54</a> For Ш /sh/, roll up your tongue a little, so that the tip of your tongue faces up. The same goes for Ж /zh/ (the one from the famous English word je m’appelle). For Ч /ch/ and Щ /shsh/, raise the middle part of your tongue, as you do when you pronounce Й /y/ (like in You or Yellow). And also, Щ is pronounced longer. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="329">5:29</a> You might think you didn’t hear a proper Й /y/ sound here in МЁД, and you would be correct! More about that down in the explanation about Ъ and Ь <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="395">6:35</a> To properly pronounce Х /kh/, make sure the back part of your tongue is raised. You normally raise the same part of your tongue to pronounce K or G <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="421">7:01</a> Fun fact! Н did look more like N in Cyrillic originally, and И looked more like H, but then the bar in И moved down and allowed the N to have it’s bar horizontal :) <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="465">7:45</a> Those are not just letters that are always silent. They don’t have their own sounds, but they modify the sounds of the neighbouring letters! First, let’s talk about Ь. There are almost twice as many consonant sounds in Russian as there are consonant letters. That’s because most consonants can be either _hard_ or _soft_ (palatalized or palatal, linguistically speaking). Don’t confuse that with hard and soft C! Russian soft consonants sound similar to their hard counterparts. To make a consonant sound soft, raise the middle part of your tongue, as you do when you pronounce Й /y/ (like in You or Yellow), but then pronounce the consonant with your lips, the tip of your tongue or the back of your tongue. To mark that a consonant is soft, we put a Ь after them: СОЛЬ (hard С /s/, soft Л /l/), ОБЛАСТЬ (hard Б /b/ and Л /l/, soft С /s/ and Т). But when we want to pronounce a soft consonant before a vowel, we use the Й-counterpart, so in МЁД we have soft М, then О, and then hard Д /d/. Well, what if we want the Й-vowels to have that Й sound? That’s when we use Ь or Ъ between the consonant and the vowel! If the consonant is still soft, we use Ь: АБЬЮЗ = А, then soft Б /b/, then Й /y/, then У /u/, then hard З /z/. If the consonant should remain hard, we use Ъ: ОБЪЕКТ = О, then hard Б /b/, then Й /y/, then Э /e/, then hard К, then hard Т. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="497">8:17</a> Yama missed a letter between Ф and Ц! Can you remember which one? (He also left out Ъ and Ь, in our alfabet they surround the Ы, so _… Ъ Ы Ь Э Ю Я_ ) Thank you for coming to my TED talk

@@fgyeyr - Если вы носитель, то, скорее всего, вы произносили «объект» правильно, вы ж на то и носитель. Большинство носителей на самом деле не различают разделительные Ъ и Ь, иначе бы нам не пришлось в школе учить, что Ъ ставится между приставкой и корнем, а Ь в остальных случаях.

Don't trust this video entirely, he's trolling at some points. In terms of pronunciation it's really great. Щ should even softer, but Ш is perfect, this pair is distinguishable, which is an achievement. The best way to produce Ы is to hold a pencil or whatever you may afford between the teeth with approximately 1.5 inches in the mouth. This will prevent the tongue from moving forward, instead of "if" you'll get "ыф"

It's a fun video with some jokes. Some weird mistakes like randomly skipping X in the alphabet at the end. Also I feel English speakers would get very confused with how you switch pronunciation of some letters from English to Russian, particularly with R. I mean sure it's about reading, and that's very helpful, just that peeps I think would get very confused and need extra info on the pronunciation, palatization and general word phonotactics, like the unstressed "o" and it's relation with how we predict syllable stress.

[@neko2718_]

I can explain ь and ъ for you. You already know that я = ya ю = yu е = ye ë = yo But if these letters are in front of consonants then they become я = a ю = u е = e ë = o They also make these consonants "soft", for examle the soft variation of letter L sounds like French L. ля = l'a лю = l'u ле = l'e лë = l'o ( ' means that consonant is "soft") The soft sign (Ь) has two functions: 1. Make consonants soft: семь = s'em' (seven) мáльчик = mal'chik (boy) 2. Return letters а ю е ë to normal: сéмя = s'em'a (seed) семья́ = s'em'ya (family) The hard sign (Ъ) can only return letters to normal: подéзд = pad'ezd (has no meaning) подъéзд = padyezd (entrance)

Ъ is, from what I know, never used in the Russian language but is used in other Slavic languages while Ь is used in the Russian language in front of some letters to “soften” the letter And lastly, Ю is pronounced like “yo” If it’s not obvious enough, I’m not Russian or from any Slavic country at all but I’ve done my research on google and I’ve trained Russian on Duolingo in the past. If any Russian or someone from a country that uses the Cyrillic alphabet sees this (Ukrainian, Serbian etc) then I’d like to be corrected if I said some misinformation in this comment.
