These videos are seriously SO helpful, instead of just listing a bunch of random phrases with barely any context like some other channels he explains things in-depth and tries to help people learn from common mistakes. It's so refreshing, this guy is definitely one of the best language teachers I've found on this website!

[@BenTajer89]

Might be his subtle way of showing he watched one of her more recent anti war vids - because that’s where the photo is from…. I could be over interpreting, but the video is titled “secrets Russian teachers don’t talk about”, it has an image from Darya’s recent anti propaganda video, and it puts an X over both of their mouths.

0:40 Not "How things are?" It is "How things are going on?" So, you answer with an ADVERB rather than an ADJECTIVE You don't say дела ХОРОШИ. You say дела (идут) ХОРОШО P.S: I'm not a Russian native speaker. So, native speakers are welcome to comment if I'm wrong 😊

[@BritCap1]

Yeah, you're right. Don't think that actually someone will say "Хороши" while learning Russian though, but you are right.

[@lefebvre3168]

Yes, in regular speeches you can't hear that. But there's nothing wrong in this phrase. Even the opposite, you can use it in situations where you want to show that your things are REALLY GOOD. Мои дела хороши. It needs to be toned well, you must pull the word "ХОРОШИ" just like happy sleepy cat. By the way, could you tell me about my mistakes in this text?

@@lefebvre3168 What mistakes?

[@spacenaves]

​@@lefebvre3168Since the other person didn't respond: You’re missing an article before "happy sleepy cat" ("a happy sleepy cat"), and you could go for "conversations" instead of "speeches" and "any mistakes" instead of "my mistakes", but these are rather minor. In fact, I hadn't even noticed any of these before actively looking for mistakes as you requested, so you're doing very well.

Мне кажется, что диалог " - Купи хлеб. - Куплю." звучит ненатурально. На просьбу лучше просто отвечать "Хорошо" (Или "ладно", "окей"...) или "Хорошо, я куплю". Но можно ответить "куплю" на вопрос: " - Ты купишь хлеб? " - Да, куплю"

[@Moises-kf1hg]

Your post should be pinned at the top, with my response below. I knew every mistake he listed. I spent a year in Russia. Aside from a handful of words and memorizing the alphabet on my flight over, I learned everything during my time there by listening. His whole point in this is trying to break what you just did. You’re using English structuring to form a sentence in Russian. This may sound right as you translate your English sentence into Russian before you say it, but to a native, you’ll sound very robotic because this isn’t how they speak or use it. This honestly is why his channel is so much better than the rest. They teach words without considering the pupil. All of these little nuances aren’t nuances to them because it’s how they understand their language, so they teach expecting people to know this stuff. Especially true if they’ve never lived in an English speaking language and never been corrected on their mistakes as they apply Russian structuring to English. His time in America allowed him to see and learn the differences without necessarily having to be told or taught. His goal with this channel isn’t just teaching vocabulary, but _proper_ vocabulary.

[@mitiarazu6806]

I would explain the difference between русский and по-русски in a different way. Русский is just an adjective like русский перевод, русский алфавит. But when we talk about по-русски it's a different thing. This lil' thing по- means something like "the way (THEY) do it". For example, you can say " Я хочу сделать по-своему" which means "I want to do it as I wish" like .. the way I want to do it, I usually do. So when you say Я говорю по-русски it's like I speak as Russian people speak.

[@MaksymMinenko]

That "different thing" is called an adverb. :)

I always put every new word I learn in Ankidroid and and underline the stressed syllable. You can also download the pronunciation and add the audio file to your card, but that's too much work for me... I do always say the words out loud when I'm learning. My best help is that once a week I go to a Russian teacher, it helps so much that I can speak Russian without being afraid of making mistakes and have someone to correct me if I do.

[@andrei805]

Loved this video

[@xygnusx5067]

This is so good!

[@talideon]

5:25: the funny thing is that this is a consequence of influence on English from Celtic languages, which broadly lack words for "yes" and "no", so we repeat the verb of the question with or without the negative particle. Where things get screwy is when those speakers of Celtic languages start speaking English. We introduced the "do" auxiliary, and we generalised the pattern from our languages to repeat the finite verb in answers... which is almost always an auxiliary in English. And thus you have this problem.

Английское will дословно переводится как "соизволю". Кстати, древне-славянские языки некоторое время ещё сохраняли т.н. "вспомогательный глагол" (аорист и имперфект) типа "быть" (бых, быша, бысть, бы, бе, бяше, бяху, бяхом и т.д.), "есть" (еси, еста, есть, есмь, суть и т.д), "иметь". "Не видилъ еси Христа, не ходилъ еси по немь, како ученикъ его обретеся?"

Лич/лик/лиц is a root. Лицо - face/person, лик is archaic form Личный - personal Двуликий - two-faced Отличный от - unlikely, different. But without от it's good/nice/proper About разный/различный. Раз is a prefix, means like "apart". In разный the root is н (this is possible) but i can't catch the meaning. Различный - different/not likely, разный - different/other. Разные can be alike but differentiate in location, time, price etc.

*C1/C2 word* Ша́рить 1 touch searching, examine touching. G-translator says it's "fumble" but i doubt. More complete description: move your hand (or a stick in it) and touch what you don't see (it's important) to find something you need or examine what you're touching. Related words: пошарить - complete action, нашарить - succeeded action. Examples: я долго шарил по полу пока не нашёл мои упавшие очки - i was (touching) a floor for a long time until i've found my fallen glasses. Я пошарил под кроватью, но нашёл только пыль - i've (touched) under bed, but found only dust. 2 know alot about something, be an expert in something Examples: Эйнштейн хорошо шарит в физике - Einstein knows alot about physics. Шаришь! - reply to show your impression of person's knowledge. Related word: проша́реный - knowing (in general).

[@BessReed]

Шарить also can be used as "to share" sometimes. In this case it's directly taken from English and used with the same sense. For example: расшарь мне файл - share the file to me. Он пошарил мне инфу - He shared the info with me. However, this is mostly used among young people and not so often.

[@Deluxey]

@@BessReed шарить isn’t an equivalent of an English word share, шерить is. However, just as you mentioned, it is used rarely and mostly among teenagers

[@o.quartz]

1. Easy part. In Russian, you can omit a predicate or subject if it's obvious what is being discussed. 2. Hard part. We use "to be" as helper verb in future tenses only. So, sentences like "I am swimming" sound like "I swimming". 3. Mind blowing part. Articles just dont't exists in russian language. And we very very very rarely use such helper words which don't make sense on their own, except of prepositions and conjunctions. I suppose, missing or wrong articles is the most common mistake on english lessons in Russia (: Ok, it's example time! (I'm the ommited word.) {And I'm an untranslatable word} - Привет! Что (ты) делаешь? / Hi! What {are} (you) doing? - Привет! (Я) иду на работу. / Hi! (I) {am} walking to work. - (Ты) знаешь, где (находится) ближайший книжный магазин? / {Do} (you) know where {the} nearest book shop {is} (located)? - Конечно (я) знаю!
