I recently started learning Korean (thanks Steve for inspiring me to do this). Every time I feel like complaining about certain difficulties, I stop and think to myself, “Oh man, you really are so lucky. You do not need to learn your native Russian as a foreign language.”

[@thenaturalyogi5934]

🤣I learned Traditional Chinese in school as our foreign language for 13 years. I'm not complaining about learning Russian, which I'm learning now. Korean, Japanese, and Arabic script, now, those are things I'd rather not touch.

[@cookieraider2182]

I really enjoy doing the whole “using familiar things to navigate the unfamiliar language” concept with books as well. Finding translations of books you’ve already read allows you to focus a little bit more on the vocabulary and use of the language rather than worry so much about comprehending the plot.

[@lindseyzeigler4678]

Daria is great. Her slow Russian vlogs were the first comprehensible input I could understand. That was almost three years ago. Since then, my Russian has improved immensely, I've made friendships with Russian speakers, and even spent last summer traveling around eastern Ukraine speaking Russian with locals. I continue to study. I work with a tutor online several times a week. Most of the Russian material I watch now is just regular Russian language material, like the news etc. but I still watch Daria's material because it's fun and interesting. Good luck everyone. Russian is great and it can be learned!

[@RealRussianClub]

thank you so much!

Very motivating to know I'm not alone that some material makes me sleepy.

[@thenaturalyogi5934]

I'm now starting Russian as it's my 2022 language. The last 7 months of 2021 was for Portuguese and that was easy because I used Lingq to read the Harry Potter series and it has been a lot of fun! For Russian I decided to go word for word in Dostoievski's Crime and Punishment on Lingq, given that I've read that book in English in high school. I know nothing but I enjoy reading it because Lingq enables me to do so. So my point is that people don't need a high level of any language to read a book if comprehension is the goal and patience and consistency is there then do whatever you want!

[@tarabris243]

Hi Steve, I'm so pleased you had Daria on you channel. She happens to be my very first teacher whose videos I had been watching when I started Russian 14 months ago. By the way Steve, your French is something else !!! I am French so to give you a 10 out of 10 is de rigueur ! I am totally in agreement with both of you as to the use of stories or cartoons in the process of learning a new language. Russian cases can be remembered much better this way and you increase your vocabulary at the same time. I also have 2 Russian ladies I speak to every week. One speaks French and English and the other Spanish and English. We normally spend one hour speaking Russian and one hour speaking their preferred language. My Russian being still at its very early stage, I like learning, reading and reciting fairy tales and practising these very difficullt verbs of motion and cases. I am 59 and Russian is now my fourth language and naturally I do suffer from language attrition especially in French. I would like to wish you all the very best on your Arabic studies. You are an amazement to the whole international world of language learners and becoming its icon. Regards. Michel

[@RealRussianClub]

thank you so much for learning with me :)

[@Ronlawhouston]

I am a big fan of Daria. She has a TPRS podcast that is fun. When you start saying Vladimir Putin is not on Venus, he is on Mars, it makes the learning of the language fun. Keep making silly stories Daria.

[@RealRussianClub]

heeeey Ron, nice to see familiar faces here:)

Дарья,молодчина! Очень приятно и интересно было слушать.

спасибо :)

[@Basheez]

Excellent advice.

[@LanguageExplorer]

I took a basic Russian course in the University and I love it so much!! Not that I continued learning it (for the moment, as am focusing on other languages), but all the tips you've mentioned are very helpful. Am always amazed seeing experts like you talk about your field. It's motivating and refreshing to hear grounded knowledge like what you have. Thank yooouu ❤️

[@jbrie76]

Thanks so much! What a great dialogue! It was so refreshing to have questions that are so very appropriate for anyone who is trying to learn Russian.

[@dennisenglishjournal498]

Hi Steve! 🙋‍♂️ Even though Russian is *MY mother tongue* as well, I found this interview pretty interesting and useful too 👍🙂 My respect to Daria, we are kind of colleagues at some point 😊 I also try to encourage my friends and viewers to learn English (and any other language) through *materials that are interesting for them* 😁 Hope my fun and sometimes silly videolessons have helped someone to overcome their struggling 😊 I wish you guys only the best! 👍👏 Let's boost our speaking skills together! 🙌

Есть много китайских детских книжек про Ленина, если Вы такое в детском саду или в начальной школе читали, то прочитать их на китайском, а главное понять, будет очень интересно. 加油！

The only piece of Russian-language popular media that I can think of that's accessible to beginners and relatively easy to view is "Masha and the Bear".

but they don't even say anything there :D

I started learning English about 1 year ago and now I'm sure I going to learn Russian when I can speak English fluently. There are some Russian youtubers who I like and also Russian songs I'm very interested in understand

[@manalishi_hs]

Daria is wonderful, and has such a sweet & pleasant presence. I started watching her videos when I very first began to learn Russian.

Маша и медведь (Masha and the bear) is very good cartoon for study Russian too.

[@islombekabdullaev4692]

Compelling content as well as motivation are vital for learning a foreign language, yet people are, unfortunately, changeable creatures and for that reason it is important to develop the discipline first. Almost everybody feels enthusiastic at the very beginning of a language learning journey, but over time that feeling fades away somewhere. For that reason, first, a person should clarify a real purpose of learning a language and then schedule specific time and place for learning different aspects of that language. When you have "why" in your mind, you keep your motivation live and when you set a specific time and spot for a language learning you don't let any other things distract you from the process as total concentration is necessary for effectiveness of learning. As for emotions, they enrich a language learning process incredibly. Even when you have an ordinary conversation, emotions play an important role in making the conversation extraordinary and memorable. Anything is learmed better with better mood and pleasure)))

Прекрасное интервью! Часто смотрю Стива на Английском для практики Английского, который я сейчас учу. Согласен, России сейчас не хватает элемента современной культуры как аниме, J-pop, K-pop, фильмов и сериалов как в США, чтобы заинтересовать людей со всего мира

[@jojoflark835]

I too learn with the cartoon "3 cats" it's a very good cartoon for adults learning russian.* There are a lot of episodes on KZbin Три кота: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paLZfpWPrKmDgMk

There is an Indonesian young man who becomes so famous, because he can speak Russian. He makes youtube content about he speaks with people from Rusia in an app. Not only people from Rusia, but also from another country. Actually he can speak Russian, Spanish, Romania, English, Indonesian. You maybe want to see him. His channel is 'Fiki Naki', now it has more than five millions subscribers.

Language book club. For Russian especially, join VK, a music or a club of your interests. I'm in a music club there and I'm not even learning Russian. 😏 (learning Hebrew, it's an Israeli music club... But most are Russian speakers who don't use English, so we have to use Hebrew... so you'll have more options.

For now, i just want to learn english. The next languange that i want to learn is japanese wish me luck mr. Steve😊

[@bhami]

Daria's American English is excellent. With a couple of focused changes she could eliminate something like half her remaining Russian accent (and I see this so often in native Russian speakers): -Stop changing "-ing" to "in". -Open/ broaden/ relax those short "a"s.

[@talideon]

Replacing '-ing' with '-in' is even common amongst native speakers. Personally, I don't see any great need for people to ditch their accents unless they want to.

[@RealRussianClub]

I wish I understood what you mean :') how do ing and in even differ, I don't hear the difference :')

[@trevorguy63]

@@RealRussianClub I think your English is excellent, and frankly the original comment is not relevant to the video at all! Having said that anyway, one small tip: fun and funny have slightly different meanings :)
