Welcome to the Polyglot Corner. A polyglot is one who knows and is able to use multiple languages. My name is Ayan and I have been learning languages for 7 years now and I currently speak English, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian, and some German. This channel was made with the intent to help people discover the beauty of languages and join in on the journey that is language learning!
I hope i can manage to pick russian up. I still consider myself monolingual, but i speak a decent bit of spanish, enough to assemble a few relevent sentences in a conversation. Nearly to A2 level. The thing is, spanish has always been kinda nearby. I learned to count in spanish as a kid, learned a few basic words then too. Russian…more out of reach. I know the bit of german i learned faded rather quickly Anyway, im currently learning 3 languages, but im at different levels in each, and they are all from different language families
I'm not going to lie I only heard of 3 tense. I've never heard of those extra that you mentioned. Well at least that's what I learned in school past present and future
Кто практикуется с носителями, быстро его учат. Я это заметил у приезжих из бывшего СССР, которые вообще по русски не говорили. А в книжках можно годами копаться и ничего не понять. Так что слова учите, потом быстро научитесь их связывать.
Согласен! Поэтому говорю всем, что разговорная практика является лучшим способом быстро выучить язык) Это заставляет человека быстро связывать слова и также помогает укреплять знания🤌
That was a really good video, man. I mean it. High quality, no beating in the bush, great attitude. Love it! ❤❤❤ Case system is really like a difficulty multiplier, only exponential. I, as a native, don't have any idea where one can start learning it and have clear indicators of progress. It has some structure, but it is so chaotic in real life.
Non so da quanto tempo tu stia imparando l'italiano (da quello che hai raccontato immagino meno di 4 anni), ma hai un'ottima pronuncia! Io sto imparando il russo da più o meno un anno e spero un giorno di riuscire a parlarlo bene come tu parli l'italiano, ma la vedo dura😅 люблю твои видео :)
Great video!! Have a question: Where can I get the case system chart that you showed on the video? A Google search only gave me a low resolution version. Thanks very much!!
1. Learn the alphabet 2. Learn basic words and phrases 3. Learn the gender 4. Start learning the conjugations (Only 3 tenses) 5. Learn the case system 6. Learn vocabulary in context 7. Resources: Master Russian, Free Russian Course RT. 8. Throw yourself into the culture 9. Practice conversation
Just use it a lot, practice it with sentences, get used to it. Same with any other English word such as: long, confusing, enormous, memorise, knowledge, etc. Practice and use it till it becomes a part of you, like speaking English.
Aspects are the most difficult grammar thing for me so far. When I was just starting my Russian studies, I wanted to write to a Russian Facebook friend that I watched the 'Swan Lake' ballet on TV. I opened my grammar book of Russian and the very first thing the grammar book had about verbs was aspects. So I wrote to my friend: «Я поcмотрела по телевизору балет «Лебединое озеро». Google wrote: 'Я смотрел', мy friend wrote 'Я смотрела'. But I still think that the perfective form is correct in this case.
It is so beneficial to have grown up with Afrikaans as my mother tongue and being brought up bilingually with English as the second language. Those two languages cover almost all the sounds and letter combinations (plus I took German as a school subject). I love how Russian covers the hard guttural as well as the soft sounds. I am by no means a serious Russian student but love learning words and word connections. I find Russian sounds very fresh as well as soothing. Thank you for the info.
Thanks for your video. I've been learning Russian for about two years, roughly the way you advised in your video. However, I am making extremely slow progress. The most difficult thing for me in the Russian language is the pronunciation. I don't learn words when I can't pronounce them. I know the pronunciation rules, but the Russian с, з, ж, ш, щ, ч, and soft consonants are difficult for me. And so are the aspects of verbs. The cases are not that difficult. Maybe the reason for my slow learning is my age: almost 81.
A piece of advice on the Russian grammar: first focus on verb cases and correct usage of verbs with different genders. Mistakenly used noun and adjective cases usually sound 'less painful' for Russian natives. The worst thing you can do in Russian is to use "I + verb" in a wrong gender form. This sounds extremely ridiculous and confusing.
One thing that makes languages so much more fun to learn is if you really enjoy the people and culture of that language. Trying to learn a language just to say you know another language usually leads people to quit once it gets hard after the early beginner phase.
I like this. I envy you guys and your language abilities. I wish I could learn languages like you guys. You seem to have a talent for it. I am Canadian from Newfoundland. I know a few words in French, but not much.
can you send me the discord servers links? i started learning russian 3 months ago as a side thing i barely made any progress but its time for me to put an actual effort
