The whole reason I'm learning Russian because of the amazing music and poetry. So what I do is get my favorite songs and translate them line by line. I use a dictionary and only translate one word at a time. This is a really good tool for me, the amount of words I learn per song is pretty good, and because I'm constantly replaying these songs I keep going over the words in my head over and over again. Sometimes there's some weird grammar that I don't quite understand when translating, but suddenly clicks while I'm repeating it in my head. And then I go on the Russian internet to look at the fans of the songs I like and see how they speak. Of course, I started with Duolingo to get that foundation into the language.

[@SpookiBunny]

this is indeed a great method. although the sentence order can get some pretty wide poetic license when it comes to songs, just the fact that you're listening to those words repeatedly helps a bunch. creating word/sentence pictures on your head along with the song is great for memorization too.

[@andrei805]

I was doing the same for my Russian, but I was memorizing songs and poems and not putting enough time or effort into understanding them or exercising an understanding behind them. Over time I was literally able to sing songs and recite poems but strangely enough, hardly able to know what I was saying and the only utility I felt was that of having stronger memorization skills and pronunciation. Now, when I like a song or poem I have to put some serious effort into liking it not only for its sound but also meaning -- writing about in English or Russian really gets you to nail it down for a more complete appreciation. The more you do it the easier it becomes to like a song or poem.

[@lepug8702]

Sometimes words do not translate and there are also words in slang as well that only true Russian speaker's understand you really need to speak it all of the time to truly understand.

[@danielblock8523]

I started learning russian in highschool for 2 schoolyears and was very lucky that our school did offer this language because other schools in my city did not (germany). i graduated in 2020 and since then didnt really make new progress. I though did speak and practice my russian from time to time a little bit due to the loads of russian speaking friends i am fortunate to have. For about two month tho i restarted the learning and that quite intense (with that i mean about 1-2 hours a day and if i dont have enough time i do at least a little bit on duolingo , which actually really helps me memorizing words and phrases. I am also living near a refugee-camp and one day about a month ago i was driving in my car and saw one grandpa that seems to have missed the bus at a bus station, so i stopped and picked him up. He entered my car and said "спасибо" and i therefore new it was a russian speaking ukrainian дедушка. He asked me if i could bring him to the refugee camp and the whole 10 minute drive we had a pretty decent conversation about various things about me and him ONLY in russian. that was my first ever real "stranger-russian-conversation" encounter and i was so hyped afterwards. I was keeping up pretty decent with the conversation fortunately, but i only understood like 70% of everything, which is more thаn okay for me, but it shows how important it is to learn vocabulary, because i am quite good with grammar and writing in russian, but i rarely speak and learn vocabulary. This situation tho was pretty out of nowhere and really cool, i made a new friend, even if we will never see us again. this type of stuff is what motivates me to keep learning. It is really cool to be able to talk with a stranger in such situation, where there would otherwise be a language-barrier! Thank you for your videos, they're really helpfull AND entertaining!

I’m def not fluent but also not quiet a beginner. In my experience, the hard part isn’t the alphabet or the grammar or whatnot, the hard part is the damn pronunciation Also like you said in regards to books, at least in the US, we are taught to writing differently than we speak. They push for us to write more professionally. For example, if you write “gonna” on your essay, you’ll get points deducted even tho that’s essentially how “going to” is said nowadays

Great video, also the editing was on point! I will admit that I first started teaching myself Russian with some books, and what you described basically does happen. You learn things very strictly: Plain words and grammar, but you can't actually know how to pronounce the words or communicate if you do it by yourself. However this information really helped me learn quickly when I got to university! It allowed me to focus more on speaking and rely less on a rigid learning structure, and I finally felt like the process had come around full circle. Learning Russian in this gradual and flexible way is part of the reason I love the language (and probably other languages in the future).

For me books have been an effective way to improve at Russian, but only after reaching an intermediate level. The key is finding books that are actually enjoyable to you and at an appropriate level. I started by reading Boris Akunin books adapted for students of Russian, and read a couple of these before finally reading the books in the original. Of course they have to be supplemented with listening and speaking practice, but books can be a really powerful tool.

[@trobar]

B.F. I really like your channel, but I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion that a structured approach does not lead to fluency (how much fluency?) I am a language geek, fluent in several languages and conversational in a couple more. The best language course I ever took was an Ojibwe class taught by a native speaker. For about the first month we just worked on a rather long conversation. Chunk by chunk we worked our way through until by the end we had a rather long conversation that we performed each session. As the month progressed he taught us new words we could substitute for the ones in the original conversation. For example, perhaps we might learn how to substitute "a moose" in the sentence "I am hunting a deer." Often the substitution would involve a mutation in a word--the verb for example- and he would explain the underlying grammar. So by the end of the first month we had this long conversation -what our names were, our age, our clan (he explained that everyone has a clan, must have a clan and must never marry within one's own clan), names of parents and grandparents, brother, sister, friends month when we were born, to which tribe we belonged, likes and dislikes, on and on. So after our test on this conversation, he began to deconstruct the conversation along the lines of, "Oh, did you notice that I was born" is not like the other verbs we have in the conversation? It's a past tense." So then he'd show us how to say "My sister was born in the month of ..." and eventually we would be able to conjugate the verb in the past tense. Then we practiced the same formation- with variations- on other verbs in our conversation. And so it went month after month as we discovered that the conversation contained not only things to say about ourselves, but it also provided the key to the basic structures of the language and that together with new words and possibly grammatical variations, we had acquired an elementary grasp of the language.. We also had developed the knack of knowing where we could substitute words and the changes the substitution might require. So we actually had a fair amount of flexibility of expression. It was a great course! And I didn't even mention all the Ojibwe culture he taught us. Too bad it was only one year. .

I've been using the LingQ method for learning ukrainian and i feel spending the time to become intimate with the language before speaking. I translate various documents and listen to how it's pronounced and try to mimic it. It's been a month and a half and i can barely speak it but regarding how much *of* the language i know, and how close to it i feel personally and emotionally is much greater than my speaking. I find that when i recognize ukrainian in text or audio, i just immediately connect and hear the individual sounds and words even though I don't understand it. It's quite amazing how different this method is. It's taking me much longer than most people would take using other methods but i feel connected to the language and i feel motivated to learn it all the way to fluency. I believe this is the best way to become fluent in a language.

I like a way to also visualize with the idea of learning a language is like building a brick house. You get your cement, bricks and tools (like a trowel) to create your own structure in that language. You use your trowel and tools (learning tools) to spread out the cement (practice) of what you are building upon (current knowledge), place a brick down (New vocabulary/sentences) and repeat. You can build your own brick house and structures however you want and how you want to build it all up.

I agree with everything you said here, Fedor. Books are useful if you want to quickly get an explanation for a grammar structure or if you want to expand your vocabulary. But input and speaking is far more important. I would actually argue that input is more important than output especially in the beginning. When you think of it, we spent probably a year just taking in input as babies before even speaking our first words in our native language. I would place understanding as the most important than speaking. Luckily we live in a time where content is easily accessible especially in terms of hearing native speakers (just go on KZbin).

It is a mix of written and spoken chat, so sometimes i ask them to write down what they said so i can translate it, and this has turned out to do wonders for me. I turn to videos like yours to gain solid structure of the language, and then i try my best to communicate with people in real time which helps alot with getting used to the language, understanding how it is used in everyday life and learning how to be fluid and open to mixing things up while speaking it.

[@tomsaltsman]

My biggest mistake in learning Russian is that I borrowed from my musical training (violinist) and refused to develop bad habits from the start. "I won't speak it till I'm perfect!" I told myself. That didn't work. It's like what's-his-face says. (Say your name like a professional, please. It's a very polite way to help yourself and others.) Trying to speak the language creates a stronger desire to know what you lack. Memory always does better with a stronger, emotional desire. Someone should also create audio stories that are SPOKEN (not just written out) in both languages, one sentence after another. New vocabulary could be introduced at each chapter and repeated ad nauseum. I can write stories, what's-your-face. Want to help translate? This is a business proposal. I'm already published.

[@SpookiBunny]

one thing that i *really* hate about language books is how they try to mimic natural learning through immersion (which obviously won't work). they will offer you very diluted grammar that sounds unnatural on it's own and a bunch of vocabulary specific to one certain topic at each chapter with a bunch of "natural day to day phrases!" as if that's anywhere near "natural learning" and that's extremely counter intuitive for me. grammar is the very basis for understanding *how* a language works, vocabulary is completely secondary. maybe that's just my linguist brain speaking but i'd much rather look at pure grammar to really get a grasp at how this language is thought and spoken and then start testing it with whatever random word i think is useful to my vocabulary. (of course one step at a time. usually i'd go for sentence order + simples tenses + negatives + questions first, but that can change from one language to another since grammar can be quite diverse) or well, at least that's what i've noticed when learning russian, korean, and chinese: russian and chinese i followed language books with a teacher for 1+ year; korean i went for pure grammar on my own + learned basic vocabulary along the way with the grammar examples i wrote for about 6 months, and guess which one i remember best? yep, korean. of course that's what works for me, a linguistics nerd. learning the grammar of another language requires you to understand the basics of your own language's grammar which ain't for everyone. but on that i can assure you one thing: learning your language's grammar is much easier and interesting when doing it to learn another language, than it is to do when studying for a school grade. in fact i sucked in grammar at school. lol

I've only just discovered this channel. The videos are pretty good and the tips are helpful. However, I personally would not avoid books when learning a new language.

And especially in Russian, it is (I estimate) 95% of all words are pronounced as written (unfortunately this is not the case with many languages). 📚Written documents should simply not be the only learning tool, but a supplement to the others. I have learned German this way and am in the process of learning English. Have a nice day and good luck with learning

[@lisanidog8178]

When I was trying to learn French and more Spanish, grammar always tripped me up. And I was terrified of making spoken mistakes so I was better at understanding simple things than speaking. I don't know any Russians any more to speak to. But when my Russian landlord lady many decades ago would try to teach me and I got it wrong she'd get impatient. I told you a hundred timed why can't you understand! Well excuse me! I didn't learn English in one gulp, I still make grammar mistakes and I don't need to be humiliated to the point where I turn off. And I'm hearing impaired so it takes me longer to understand every sound. I get parts of a word. Then the word is never used again and boom I forget. I had two Spanish teachers who thought I knew the whole language just because I knew a little more. Mom was a language major and I learned later from dad that Spanish not English was my first language as a toddler which I don't remember. I never could roll my R's because she never said it enough expecting perfection. Because I have no accent in Spanish teachers thought I knew the language and would be harder on me turning me off. They literally would stop teaching me. If we're not supposed to say a certain thing don't introduce a word that we're not supposed to say as an example of what NOT to say. It's confusing. Let us make mistakes! It may take me a thousand times to say hello properly if I knew any Russians. Last thing I need is them laughing at me or yelling at me. It's natural for English speakers to speak it in a foreign language in structure. For instance in English we'd say white house. In Spanish it's house first then the color. In the beginning it was confusing. But if I said it in the English order in Spanish being yelled at or laughed at doesn't make one want to speak to anyone. An English speaker in Russian will make a thousand mistakes. But at least we try. There's a difference between correcting, explaining why and correcting just to criticize. I learn by making mistakes. Learning word games in a language. Learning letters and numbers. Repetition. Grammar was always hard because a teacher would introduce a word, only give one tense and then never mention the word again. It's frustrating. I didn't learn to conjugate when I was learning English as a toddler. I learned the sound. Then the word, then the meaning then how to use it. With repetition. I don't know lay from lie. What difference does it make. One knows what I'm trying to say. Don't get why there are two for the same word in my own language. Gender for words is foreign. I only know he and she. A table is a table. Why does a table or other inanimate object in a foreign language be feminine or masculine. I need to know the why! Easier to remember. Not just well that's how it's done. English doesn't have that. Very confusing.

Fedor: У меня ворос. What happens if after your analyze your recording, you realize that what you need to learn is WAY beyond your level. Take this sentence: "Рынок в моём районе закрылся в воскресенье, и никто не знает, когда он откроется снова." For some, that sentence could be a nightmare. 1) you have the -ся verbs; 2) you have double negatives "никто не"; and 3) you have some time markers "в воскресенье". Or take this rather simple sentence: Я положил книгу в сумку. In this case you need to remember that the book and the bag both need to be in accusative. So, I totally hear what you're saying, but sometimes I fear I'm in a situation where I'm ... бежать впереди паровоза. Not sure how to say that in English. So, my question is: what happens when you realize that your mistakes are too grammatically advanced to tackle at the moment?

My opinion as a native speaker. In no case do not start learning Russian from fiction books. Such books are needed for advanced language learning. It's like starting to learn English with Shakespeare. In books, the author will try to surprise you with the knowledge of the number of synonyms for the same words, unusual sentence constructions, sometimes exploding the brain even to the speaker, i.e. there will be everything that is used in everyday life either by language fans or at the level of very educated people (their speech you will not be able to understand soon) or to show off in front of friends. It may seem strange, but for the very start it would be a good idea to communicate with those who already know Russian, but are also native speakers of your own language. The fact is that in Russian there is a very peculiar manner of forming sentences. Every native speaker of Russian who knows it very well sounds like Master Yoda, which can cause additional unnecessary difficulties in mastering the language. That is, in Russian you are free to start a sentence with any part of speech that first came to your mind. Including in the sequence adopted, for example, in English or Japanese. This means that it will be easiest to start speaking in the accepted sequence in your language, and learn juggling later. Here I would like to say "Easy to learn, hard to master", but I understand that the word "easy" here would be a deception. The Russian language provides a huge number of opportunities, but does not oblige you to use them. You can only use the simplest verbal constructions just like in English and that will be fine. Probably, this is how the Russian of a tired person sounds, or a person who tries to answer almost without hesitation, without getting involved in a conversation.

You described the situation with books very correctly, since most people begin learning Russian from books of the 19th or early 20th century. These books have a literary style of storytelling, which no one uses nowadays. Despite the many synonyms of different words, people often use the same words in communication. Instead of reading old books to learn the language, it is best to watch Russian videos with subtitles. Russian Russian dubbing movies can also be watched (the dubbing industry is well developed in Russia) with Russian subtitles. I used a translator for this text, so it may be incorrect in some places)

Это нормально, если я изучаю (ну или думаю что изучаю) английский по вашим видосам 🤔🤔🤔

[@MrFaXism9]

im a russian learner myself. i learn it 100% completely from free (no paid) sources that i can find on the internet. for example i watch a russian streamer on twitch and read all of the chats. that way you can learn more of daily words that you wont able to find in a textbook or courses)

[@sanjeevkumarverma3293]

very good sir , you are my russian teacher

[@joiedevie3901]

Would not agree totally about books or reading not helping on the path to spoken Russian--or any language. Two of the best ways to learn how people actually do speak is through comic books or newspaper commentary/opinion sections.

My Russian learning improved once I knew the letters and how to read. Of course, after so much time of not using it, I forgot it.

Здравствуйте Фёдоръ. Люблю русского языкъ. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a video about оканье and аканье. Особенно оканье. Спасибо.

[@zavulon422]

*C1/C2 words* From this vid i will post in comments some C1/C2 words. The first one is моросить: 1 to drizzle 2 kind of talking, say a lot of unimportant/unnecessary words. Don't know how describe it properly (even in russian). Luis from Ant man and Ruby Rhod from Fifth element talk that way. Они моросят.

[@giurado6485]

Thanks

[@talfonso4]

I have two problems when it comes to learning Russian. First, I have no one to talk to. I talk to myself and use whatever Russian I know. Second; I am so confused with the 6 grammar cases.

[@theflasher2502]

Hopefully you will learn as soon as possible

I remember when you had like 1k subs

[@martinschmelzle4864]

I slightly disagree with what you said about reading. No, reading doesn't boost your speaking, but it really goes a long way for your reading comprehension, you get used to the way sentences are formed and you build a lot of vocabulary! After forcing my way through a book called не навреди, my reading got much better and my listening profited too. So I say: Do read, but not with the expectation of speaking better afterwards.

Итак, почему в тестах по русскому языку большое внимание уделяется правильному использованию грамматики? Я часто разговариваю сама с собой по-русски, но я чувствую, что мои выражения не всегда очень идиоматичные. Поэтому я часто общаюсь с русскими с помощью Telegram... Но есть русские, которые делают много опечаток...:)

Do you live in Russia? You bought kefir or milk in a Russian store ,,Пятёрочка"

Which language is cooler to you between English and Russian. Obviously your Russian but you speak English fluently

Поздравляю ! "Congratulations?" (Im not relying so much on translators (which i use only for words..) Congratulations on your videos . Your work has improved a lot back then when you recorded videos writing down on paper i thought: "omg this guy has the balls to do something which he looks confident enough to, but kinda lost.. exactly like when i thought about teaching english online some 10 years ago before english teaching in brazil became overwhelmed.. and the internet has taken something from us teachers... Кажется мне что у нас есть несколько секунда на интернет, тогда люди думаете 《если или ними нравятся учитель или нет》 *argh I can't! . Sorry I typed something absurd of offensive (since I'm not checking translations) Seems to me that on the internet.. people can "instantly identify" like or not a teacher or method in like 3 seconds. Just like any other regular digital content. It's like before where students had their first class with that teacher and things change over the course of time.. Example: A student once told me she pictured me as "a very strict teacher" regarding to "no native language speaking in class and no translation whatsoever rules" we had in class.. and later she thanked me after realizing it helped her think .. or , more precisely "NOT TO THINK", just speak or try.. (like I've seen you recommend) Because she (the student) had she had the option to choose a less-demanding teacher, she wouldn't have had changed her view about language learning and would probably be stuck the same way We don't have this anymore i think... if someone willing to apply for a course, especially online, if you "don't look good enough" in the first few seconds they'll just scroll over or whatever... I really don't know why i am writing this. Yeah, because I think your work is inspiring and you have improved a lot ( I mean... The video editing/cut thing... this is very time consuming and can lead to nowhere) but for me. I think you were not concerned or at least it hasn't prevented you from recording the first video class) one of the videos I like the most is when you talked about the cultural biases / mentality differences west east. I think we underrate the teacher's role of talking about cultural background. It is of utmost importance to hear from a native speaker teacher his/her knowledge about culture. Otherwise why are people learning a second (maybe third or fourth language) anyway? Maybe that's why Id never tried to be an online teacher by myself. It takes more than being a native-speaker and charismatic (which I'm none) but some students sure had fun , I mean, they're not coming back if classes are boring... - which today is the least bad outcome out of a "terrible things that can happen in class" list... Congratulations on the hard work, courage and authenticity. Looking forward to joining your course. Sorry for the long post . (It has become my signature on KZbin comments)

Как я понимаю, ты русский? ))))))) I like this, your еnglish is very good)

[@simonspethmann8086]

So, the one thing that stops me from speaking Russian is not being able to pronounce the r. Like, I've tried, I've watched all the videos, practiced with family (_all_ my family members can trill their rs) ... big nope. But I'm fine. I'm learning languages in order to consume media. 😛
