My name is Ari and I help people learn Russian through videos and blog posts where I share my experience.
I have been learning Russian since 2016. I often get mistaken for a native speaker these days, so I've learned a thing or two about what works and what doesn't if you want to speak Russian well.

Даже я об этом не знала, спасибо. Теперь я буду знать как учить собственный язык) Ну в целом, видео было информативное, молодец :) И у меня вопрос. Ты знаешь русский сленг?
It is not hard to learn languages when weather is good. For example, in the summer I often go cycling for 8-10 hours listening podcasts and audiobooks during my rides.
Me myself I started studying Russian only last year I were 40 and went to train myself on the words that have a Latin translation ( which the Russian language is full of ) then I went for the harder words and how it has come into being thus far in after a year has developed moderately
that "усовершенствовать" was batter than native speaker good :) this word is hard to pronounce :) btw small tip it was probably "нУ ты блин козел". it's constant phrase "ну ты блин [any swear word]" to make a joke in conversation between friends.
Русский мат, это особое колдунство, которое применяется в определенных обстоятельствах. Нельзя им просто так разбрасываться. Тут надо очень тонко чувствовать, а таксист просто долбоеб, раз такому научил )
Beh sei fortunato a parlare il russo,anch’io voglio impararlo ma non ho nessuno,e anche studiandolo se non lo metti in pratica non servirà a molto,anche perché è importante avere una madre lingua nella tua quotidianità
Я, вот, что для себя открыл: я иногда смотрю какое-нибудь видео по произношению, где показывается правильная позиция языка. Пытаюсь повторить, как на видео, но тогда получается что-то, что совсем далеко от того, что нужно. Потом пробую сам обратить внимание на свой язык, когда я произношу этот самый звук. Технически, по большей части, оно совпадает, но не полностью. Нужно именно прочувствовать эти моменты и тогда, наверное, просто не будет существовать такого звука, который был бы непроизносим
Though LingQ seems to be a pretty good, I personally prefer to use Immersive Translate to supplement my language learning journey. It’s been working out great so far. I use it to watch Netflix every day, and this has really improved my language skills. I’ve already learned a lot, and am quite pleased with the results.
This is the way I learned English back then. However, it is much easier when your environment is surrounded by natives and the language itself. I've been studying Russian since 6-7 months. Somehow, I managed to understand the cases and k ow around 3000-4000 words, but without being surrounded by the Russian language, it seems very difficult. I spent a lot time studying and tried to surround myself with the language as much as I could.
Зачем американцам русский знать? - Just for fun, only, may be... Он сильно сложнее англиского и немного сложнее немецкого. И да, в США в командировках в США по работе, меня из СССР всегда принимали за немца. А вообще в США язык в супермаркетах Walmart, CubFoods, Target - не нужен. Нужно знать цифры, а они одинаковые везде, чё их знать то.
to everyone there starting to learn Russian I can confirm : we will understand you even if you brutalize all the cases endings and all of that. Don't worry just speak and don't be shy to do it. It's all going to come to you eventually naturaly with practice. Work on your vocabulary, then you'll work out the frasing and grammar.
One thing I hate about it- when they ask “what do you hear?” And then two of the choices you must choose between are homonyms. I have listened over and over to sound clips trying to hear if there was even the tiniest difference in pronunciation sometimes- and I have a pretty good ear - only to conclude that the sound clips are identical, and I simply have to guess. That is not a helpful teaching technique.
I try and do the majority of language learning in morning or evening. That way I have most of the day to do whatever. I know, it's easier said than done for most people. I don't work right now due to health issues and family stuff. And took time off school. But I know, if I ever did work again I would have to divide up the sessions and cut back on amount of time. However, no different to when, I went to college full time while keeping a workout schedule. Don't work to a schedule but adjust to personal needs.
Yes, there's something nice about having done most of your practice in the morning. I keep series and books for later at night though, as they're more relaxing.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Yeah me too. The studying is more for mornings and part of the evenings but prefer passive learning later in the evenings and weekends.
I know this problem. Motivation is said to be the key to success, but unfortunately, motivation is only temporary, not permanent. What works for me is to have some kind of system to continue studying the language. That means I sit down and study for one hour a day, but listening and reading for fun can also help!
Yes creating real sentences in your head and to be able to say it correctly is absolutely great and the key source is by listening sentences being spoken correctly, for instance news because news are vocabulary source in my opinion 🥴 Спасибо за это видео.
Totally agree, нужно на постоянном основе слушать подкасты и музыку - with regards to music I love listening to Михаил Круг - his lyrics give an insight into Russia in the 90's
I think a good LingoPie alternative if you’re looking for something free to use is Immersive Translate. It’s a browser extension that supports over 100+ languages with a good number of useful features.
Hey, I just discovered you on the easy russian channel featuring you. My way of wanting to acquire languages such as russian is to make meaningful connections with it. I place emphasis on proficiency/native c2 fluency so that I: speak the language (proper pronunciation and emphasis on cultural context). and learn how I use russian in advanced situations (e.g, giving directions), talking to natives if i could travel to Europe (not many Russians outside Russia though, and online platforms don't seem too useful), and recognize the vocabulary. Language immersion would be what I think is important to engage in it especially because it is very useful!
