My First Russian Lesson on Italki - This is what she said about my level (ENG subs)

Russian is the language I am the least fluent in, and I wanted to find out my level. I have been learning it for almost two years and I have finally decided to test it with a native speaker. I wanted to have a totally spontaneous conversation. I chose Svetlana to be my first Russian teacher because she is nice but also very professional with a lot of patience. She helped me build my confidence and corrected my mistakes at the end of the lesson. In case you want to study Russian with her, feel free to book a lesson with her.

[@mondotekgeneration]

This is awesome! Kudos for success!

[@sadiavt]

Your Russian is GREAT.... when you asked her what level I was sure she was going to say B2. Молодец!

[@chadbailey7038]

Спасибо большое за видео! Я изучаю русский язык течение два года. I’m currently trying to reach 800 known words to reach A2 by end of year 👍🏾

[@nelsonespinoza1373]

Я изучаю русский язык каждый день. Я хочу говорит по русски но это сложно. Твой русский хорошо.

[@goodbye6817]

Ты очень хорошо говоришь по русски, всё понятно🤩

[@alisonwilson8675]

Are you still learning Russian? I'm hoping italki keeps going through the current "situation" so I can keep learning. Your Russian sounds great. Like you Russian is my least fluent language after French and German. I've had 10 or so lessons on italki so far - and wouldn't dare record a lesson!

That's so cool!!! I will start posting Russian lessons soon!!!

I really want to learn Russian but for no other purpose than that My dream is to be a polyglot someday. I already know Spanish, Chinese and English, and Russian is at the top of the wish list. I love the sound of Russian. I’ve seen quite a few Soviet and Russian films. But I’ve been at a deadlock in terms of knowing where to go to learn. Duolingo sucks, I’m out of college, and I have so little time to learn on my own. I know that it’s difficult to learn, especially without fully grasping Cyrillic. I definitely want to learn it someday. I’m just not sure how my pace should be. I would feel good starting by understanding Russian and being able to converse. Would that work? Or would I still need to pick up Cyrillic simultaneously? Again, not trying to shrug off learning to read and write. Just trying to understand how to learn all the different things at once or in order of priority.

[@Gigusx]

I'm surprised that someone who knows this many languages would overcomplicate the simplest part of Russian. You don't have to worry about Cyrillic at all, you'll pick it up within the first few days.

[@acdragonrider]

@@GigusxA Lot of people I know make it sound harder than it probably is.

[@Gigusx]

​@@acdragonrider People sure like to make things harder for themselves. I've seen some opinions on the Cyrillic being difficult or questions like "how to learn Russian without having to learn the alphabet", but generally it's just a silly search for shortcuts and not a good approach. For what it's worth, I've started learning (not very intensively, but as a "side project") Russian couple of months ago and the Cyrillic albeit tricky has eventually stuck with me. I'm only 45 hours in so far, very little of which has been spent on any grammar/alphabet practice, and while my reading speed is still rather slow, it's way faster than where it'd been even a month ago. So I wouldn't worry about it too much, and if you've already started (it's been a year after all ;)) then I hope it's going well!

[@spanishblueprints]

Great video! What did you use to screen record the conversation?

[@hungryforlanguages6864]

Thank you. Quality not the best though... I don't remember honestly, I think it was just my phone that I used.

[@szantojuditkatalin38]

Robi, eldobom az agyam. Ez az én véleményem erről. :D

Почти как русский!

Да ладно!Почти как русский...! Но неплохо,старается!

[@MrLivann]

Это венгерский акцент так похож на русский или ты всего за 2 года, без преподавателя, смог добиться близкого к носителю произношения? Обычно даже те иностранцы, которые изучают язык годами, живя в России, имеют худшее произношение. Некоторые фразы прям идеально, например: "сейчас я думаю, что видео будет очень длинным". Выдают неносителя языка только окончания, ударения и ограниченный словарный запас.

[@hungryforlanguages6864]

У меня не было учителя, но я много учился самостоятельно. Я думаю, что произношение пришло мне естественно, я слушаю подкасты на русском языке. Я уверен, что они тоже помогли.

[@MrLivann]

@@hungryforlanguages6864 Все-таки удивительный результат.

[@filmozetini]

@@hungryforlanguages6864 замечательно говоришь, ты очень приятный человек, с которым можно поговорить об изучении языков. Меня тоже можешь найти в айтоки, под ником Нина, я тоже поделюсь с удовольствием своим опытом в изучении языков.

[@wecandoit9370]

Ощущение будто это он учитель а она студентка

[@alexander28110]

Тоже сначала так показалось, но это первый урок и парень хотел, чтобы оценили его уровень, а не преподавателя, так что всё правильно.

[@michaelkorenberg1313]

The most irritating thing about 🇷🇺 language is how contextually specific it is! Oh my goodness! why use two words for you (вы-formal you,ты) when you can use just one like in English?! It just aggravates me that I have to memorize all these contextually specific words depending on the situation whereas with English it’s lexis is typically more universal.

[@stasivanov6700]

Так ты венгр...!?

Bald and bankrupt says grammar slows you down, he has been studying for 2 years but how many hours
