MY SECOND KZbin CHANNEL FOR BEGINNERS (RUSSIAN LEVEL 1) - / @russianlevel1
ABOUT
This video is all about Russian listening practice. A couple of months ago I published a similar listening test with 100 Russian sentences for beginners. You guys told me that it was very useful, so I decided to make another video for you to practice your Russian listening comprehension, but this time with slightly more difficult phrases for intermediate learners.
You’ll hear 50 short sentences in Russian, and each sentence will be repeated three times. The first two times there will be no subtitles. You should listen carefully and try to guess what I say in Russian. Then the recording will be played again, and the Russian sentence with its English translation will be displayed on the screen, so you can check the answer.
Remember that if you repeatedly listen to the pronunciation of native Russian speakers, it will really improve your Russian listening comprehension!

From a teacher to another: you are outstanding. All the material you prepare is masterly done pedagogically. Thank you so much for such dedication.

[@BoostYourRussian]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I´m really trying to make my videos as useful as possible.

[@Mahim1968]

I really appreciate the time and effort making these videos. I usually download the audio to listen to in my car while I drive. Please next time, you do a video like this, please add the spoken translation of each sentence. Thanks again

Спасибо большое! This was very beneficial to me. I struggled understanding most of the sentences as a whole, but I knew phrases here and there in most of them and it made me feel great, like maybe I actually am learning. And when I actually understood a few entire sentences, it was amazing. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us learners out here in the world. I like your channel a lot for my level and look forward to watching much more!

[@BoostYourRussian]

Glad it was helpful! I´m sure you´ll understand even more sentences as a whole if you watch the video a couple of times!

[@peterholmes3664]

This type of exercise IS SO VALUABLE. I Listened to it at least 4 times and will click on a random spot daily. I don't know how important it is to hear how you slur the end of some words into what sounds like the start of the next word as part of the language. The more of these the better. Thank you

[@BoostYourRussian]

You´re welcome, Peter! I have a similar video with easier phrases kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnepmGVnaa2oaMk

[@stevekaczynski3793]

A useful exercise. Listening to Russian TV, radio or KZbin for me is often like listening to a radio station with bad reception in English - it slips in and out of being comprehensible. But in these bite-size chunks it is a handy way to train.

Hi, Kristina! Thanks a million for this video. I got more than half of the sentence right! I noticed I had problems with some verbs I haven't practiced conjugating in the past tense. Besides that, through listening and reding, I learned how to use several verbs I already knew and also learned more about Russian sentence construction. Excelent. thanks to your video. Thumbs up and hat off to you!

So well done ! 2 times oral and then with subtitles, it's really a good way to practice the listening and to learn words and grammar also. Especially when doing it several times. Something great would be to have the pdf with english one side russian the other, we could retrieve the russian phrases from the english ones. You could sell that to those interested, that would get you some money from your outstanding work for us. Greetings from France.

This kind of thing is VERY helpful. I can usually make myself understood in ungrammatical Russian, but when they talk, I get lost easily.

[@shatterthemirror8563]

Thanks. I didn't actually recognise many words, but then I don't know many. I don't know if there's any way else to define the process. I do know that reading along is getting easier although I'm not sure how much of that is due to not being very familiar with Cyrillic and how much just plugging the new sounds into something.

It was easy for me to understand these phrases, in spite of the fact that my level is lower than intermediate

That´s great! Your listening skills must be at intermediate level while your speaking, reading or writing are at lower level (pre-intermediate, I guess?).

[@tomau3946]

I suggest the following: First pass, no subtitles. Second pass, Russian text only. Third pass, English translation as subtitles. It's too much to process both Russian and English on the third time.

[@fancynancylucille]

Why cannot "Я забыла свой зонт в такси" be translated "I forgot my umbrella in the taxi", which is what it says, instead of " I left my umbrella behind in the taxi", which is not what it says? I find it frustrating, because I know enough Russian to see the difference, but the new learners do not. "Left behind" is not more polite or preferable in any way to "forgot". It only sounds more deliberate.
