Hello Kristina, today i am reading again the Free Pronunciation guide . The one i got in December 2018. Your program is very good. I need it. Thank you.

[@dickie_white]

So glad you said this Kristina. I just never bought into the 1st and 2nd conjugation line, believing it to be highly misleading and unhelpful, but you have finally articulated properly what it was that I was objecting to. Thank you.

[@inputimmersion9577]

You're struggling to conjugate verbs because you're not supposed to conjugate verbs. Language isn't maths where we take a word, apply a formula and then arrive at the correct outcome for output. It's listen repeat. It would pay you to look up Stephen Krashen.

[@richardvalvona1159]

I have often struggled with the verbs for this very reason. I never knew how many conjugation systems there were, but I've noticed so many verbs which don't fit the main two types of conjugations, such as verbs ending in -овать (present tense stem without -ов-), -пить (куплю), -бить (люблю), and -ечь; писать (there are two verbs for this) and so on. I'm going to watch your video now. It's so useful and should make a difference.

[@BoostYourRussian]

Yessss, most verbs don't fit into this model with only 2 conjugations. I don't even know why they still teach it like that. It makes no sense! Hope my video will make it clearer for you. Make sure to sign up for the free training I mention in the video, I go into more details there

[@RexGalilae]

This was very eye opening! Thank you for this I've always looked at "irregular" verbs like "мочь", "хотеть" and wondered if their "irregularity" simply results from how the "т -> ч -> ж ~ г" sounds are so close sounding to each other, almost on a continuum Eg; if you say "хотет" repeatedly, you end up pretty close to "хочет". Croatian, for example, has a number of distinct "ch" sounds where this is more pronounced

[@BoostYourRussian]

Glad it was helpful! I don´t know who created the myth that there are only two conjugations and the rest of the verbs (thousands of them!) that don´t fall into one of those two conjugations are irregular 🤔

[@PScaman]

Can you tell me what percentage of Russian verbs are irregular by your standards? And also does your course deal with stress changes as I noticed you appear to have мочь and печь in the same group?

[@BoostYourRussian]

There are only five truly irregular Russian verbs. The rest of the verbs follow very predictable conjugation patterns, one of the forty that I talked about in the video. Stress changes don´t follow any rule in Russian, so the only way to deal with them is to learn verbs with their correct stresses in all conjugation forms.

[@PScaman]

I think your approach is very useful (although it's a bit unfair to talk about lies as nobody claims the 2 basic conjugations solve all your problems). Could be very useful for stress patterns in noun declensions. I had a dictionary that gives you about 8 basic versions.

[@Ghost_Os]

[@MaksymMinenko]

If you stop a random Russian native speaker in the street and ask him/her what a conjugation is, he/she will almost certainly answer that "I don't know/care". Yet all of them speak Russian fluently. I think it's better just to improve your vocabulary (preferably not just separate words, but words connected into short meaningful sentences) and use them.

[@spaceowel363]

how do you say a verb without conjugating it? like it sounds so dumb to use the wrong conjugation

[@MaksymMinenko]

@@spaceowel363 Just say it. It's not dumb. I think it's dumb to spend countless hours on learning (and forgetting almost instantly) different aspects of conjugation and then not being able to make simple real conversation.

[@ALo-lo]

So are there any irregular verbs?

[@BoostYourRussian]

Yes, there is a short list of verbs that have unique conjugations that don´t follow any pattern. For example, взять, ехать, жать, мять, петь, etc.

[@Olliric]

Hello Kristina! I just finished the training video, but I'm still confused about something. If all verbs that end in 'авать' conjugate in the same way, which is removing 'ть' and the preceding syllable 'ва', then why does 'плавать' keep the preceding syllable 'ва' when conjugated?

[@BoostYourRussian]

Hey, great question! Like most other verbs of motion, плавать conjugates irregularly! Just keep in mind that when I say "all verbs that end in... conjugate like this", I normally mean 99% of verbs that have this ending conjugate the same way. There are always a couple of verbs within each group that don´t follow the conjugation pattern. My students also found a few verbs that end in -ОВАТЬ / -ЕВАТЬ that conjugate irregularly. Luckily, most of those verbs are not very common, so it doesn´t even make sense to memorize them. Let me know if you have other questions!

[@Olliric]

[@Benkerosadon7890]

Kristina, so I hear there is a Russian tradition when the chimes strike midnight on New Years Day, Russian people write a wish on a paper with a pencil, set the paper on fire and throw the ashes into the champagne...then drink this. What is the name of this tradition. Is this tradition still practice. Could you write this word in Russian? Thank you. Blue Crab 🦀

[@BoostYourRussian]

Hi Jesse, the Russian tradition of writing wishes on paper, burning them, and adding the ashes to champagne doesn't have a specific name. While it was once more common, it's not widely practiced nowadays (I´ve never done it and no one in my family has either)

Boost Your Russian Have you made videos for them all : nouns adjectives, pronouns etc for their case changes ? If so Please link them to me

[@DaNiELP94D16]

I get what you say in the video but for me it seems like you want to make it look hard when it's not😅 my language has 3 main conjugation patterns, there are some "irregular verbs" which follow other kinds of patterns, but I think what books do in order to be practical and organized for people is to present the main conjugation groups... Sure there are other ones, but they are minority. Tbh I don't think is too practical to learn more patterns when there are not so many verbs like that, I think when you get involved with the language is just like "instinct". Sorry maybe I'm being ignorant, I'm a beginner but Ive learn 5 languages and verbs havent been that problematic. I've learnt the two groups (+1b and 1c) in russian just as my book said and I can conjugate several verbs in russian withouth that much effort tbh

[@dmp7252]

Daniel, no offense, but how are you SURE you have no problems with verb conjugations? Have you been tested? I'm working with a professional tutor and she told me that there are actually 16 verb types, and they were categorized by the great Russian Grammar expert, Mr. Andrey Zaliznyak. I mean some grammar books don't even tell you, for example about the "oва" verbs - like рисовать. Once you know that you know you need to -у all throughout the present tense conjugation pattern. And there are many others. So, I just want to make sure that we are not oversimplifying this.

[@PaulinaSwietoslawska]

Complex verb conjugation = Portuguese

[@BoostYourRussian]

Is it more complex than in Russian? I didn´t know that!

[@nicolanobili2113]

I beg to differ: having taught languages for over twenty years (English, Russian, Italian), I DO believe that these verbs are irregular. The point is that you are changing the definition. In ALL HUMAN LANGUAGES, completely irregular verbs are very few (the verb быть in Russian, for example), all the others follow OLD PATTERNS, which are not productive anymore. Of course you may identify these patterns, but in most cases there is no way you can attribute a verb to a precise pattern unless you have already memorized it. For instance, if you see the infinitive жить, how can you possibly guess that it is conjugate живёшь and not like пить, for instance? You cannot, simple as that. For regular verbs, this is not the case: I see читать, for example, and I perfectly know how to conjugate it. So, the verbs you mentioned are ALL IRREGULAR. You may identify patterns, right, but that will not immediately help you, and it will only make sense after you have come across other IRREGULAR verbs which follow the same pattern (this doesn't happen with regular verbs). This is the way modern linguistics views irregular verbs, in practically all human languages. What is more, I would like to mention an old Latin saying which scientists have been preaching for decades: "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem", that is, "being (entities, items) should not be multiplied when necessary". In other words, the conjugations are only useful if you identify a limited number of clear and easy to remember cases, so two, three or four conjugations are practical for learning purposes, but if you "create" a new category every time an item doesn't fit, you end up having a beautifully designed, useless system, which will not help you learn any faster or better. This is based on both the linguistic literature and my personal experience on the field, for over twenty years.

[@Visionery1]

I'm trilingual (English, Afrikaans, German - home language). I first encountered German grammar at the age of 13 during German classes, at that point I could speak/read/write, I knew when something was wrong or right, but couldn't explain why. The same still applies, also to my English and Afrikaans. By hearing, speaking and reading a language one automatically pick up the correct grammar via acquisition. Spending months learning grammar is tedious and off-putting, it's only really relevant if one is majoring in the language at university level. Most native language speakers cannot explain the grammar, they speak and write correctly because they're immersed in the language. I also studied Hindi - an SOV language - for 6 months, when one continuously hears "I John am", then saying "I am John" in Hindi just sounds so wrong.

[@nicolanobili2113]

@@Visionery1 I beg your pardon, but people here keep on vigorously establishing a dichotomy between grammar and speaking a language... I never said that you shouldn't practice a language, BUT grammar is useful. And no, when you say that people "automatically pick up the correct grammar via acquisition"... NO! I have been a language professional for over 20 years and I do not believe this is true. People acquire (in most cases, not automatically) a sufficiently understandable knowledge of the main grammar structures, but they can ONLY really learn the grammar properly if they study it. There is no exception to this rule.
