Can I pass the Russian tests on Duolingo? Also with my thoughts on the site. 

It's good for practicing for maybe 5 or 10 minutes but it can't be your main way to learn. There just aren't enough words.

You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!

Why is it inefficient ?

@@Fer-fy8dx It's good for learning occasional words, but not more than that

@@emeraldquest1832 I mean I use it myself and Duolingo teaches grammar and all the cases. I’m almost halfway through the course.

I'm a generational speaker and I did this too! I thought some of the pronunciation was weird in some places too, but I guess that's because Russia is so big each region develops its own accent! For example, I pronounce молокo as малако.

@@mariakochanova4180 What's a generational speaker?

@@mariakochanova4180 чего? «Малако»? 🤣

My first language is English and I'm actually learning Russian on my free time. One thing I use to study is Duolingo and even I notice some weird pronunciation of some Russian words

@@mariakochanova4180 eeeeeextremely late reply but that is how it should be pronounced, when the letter "о" is in a word in russian, it's usually pronounced more like an а

It can be a useful website, you can learn lots of words and it's free. I'm glad it's useful for you, I just find it way too strict and frustrating.

Hi dude, I know it's been 2 years since you posted this comment but wanted to help you out really quickly... "..... And they taught me" Not ...."and they teached me"

Thanks, yeah it can take a while to get subs on youtube. I'll probably make a series out of this and see how far I can go. Half the time when I use duolingo I feel like I'm taking an English exam and I find it way too frustrating. No I haven't tried Japanese other than trying to learn Hiragana for a few days. Learning kanji is what intimidates me about that, if I learn it I would probably learn Chinese first to make it slightly easier.

@@languageswithtom2634 If the symbology is what’s getting to you may I suggest Korean? I learned a bit of Japanese from my Japanese grandmother but picking up Korean for me was much quicker, especially the writing.

@@languageswithtom2634 ну, с другой стороны, своим английским ты объясняешь нам, русскоговорящим, как правильно писать эти предложения именно на английском :D (вообще я заметил, как сильно проседает знание английского среди англоговорящих в сравнении со знанием русского у русскоговорящих, у вас такой плохой уровень образования или в чём может быть проблема?)

They let you away with some spelling mistakes once you have the general word.

not ""пюрэ"?

@@DianaT-ph6iz sometimes foreign words get loaned with e but pronounced with э, like шоссе

I'm 10 hours into Duolingo Russian and the sentences are not useful at all.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Duolingo doesn't test how good you are at Russian. It test how good you are at translating Russian to English and English to Russian and in some situations how good you are at reading the mind of the people who made the test.

@@languageswithtom2634 Yep. And that's pity. Though even Duo moderators say that you should use the site as a supplementary resource, not as the main one (Translation: Duo is not a teaching site, it's a language related game). Also, some constructions there were pretty strange, though grammatically correct. As for voices... I don't even want to start talking about this. Sometimes to answer correctly you must ignore the audio, or turn it off. For example, they don't use intonation to mark questions. As you know, in case of general questions intonation is THE ONLY way to dstinguish a question from a statement in Russian. And considering that in English it's not the case, I had to turn off the audio in the end to prevent myself from making mistakes. Japanese is even worse on Duolingo . Due to the fact that Japanese and English differ drastically (much more than English and Russian), pure computer based approach doesn't work well there, especially considering that Japanese is a higly context-dependent language. I also tried German and it worked more or less. It may be related to the fact that German and English are closer related... or due the fact that German is my weakest language and I just wasn't able to see what was wrong there )

Thanks and yeah I didn't use duolingo at all to learn it. It was just an interesting video idea. Most of the time I read books, watch tv series and have conversations.

Это Duolingo, предложения обычно странные

@@languageswithtom2634 я знаю

I have no idea why I wrote Bear, thanks I've changed it

I’m learning Russian and for me there’s a separate tab for me where u can learn the letters separately but I’m not sure if u have that, just try playing around with it or something

i think it would accept both, «чья это сестра?» and «чья она сестра?», but «чья сестра она?» isn’t grammatically correct.

@@danathequeen9428 "чья сестра она?" is absolutely grammatically correct

@@MrKuriIIko depends on the context. For example if we are saying "Чья это сестра?" then we get our answer and after that ask about another girl "А чья сестра она?" then yes, since we emphasize the person we are talking about. We are trying to show that we shifted our attention to another person. Basically "Чья сестра она?" is incorrect unless we are asking the question more than one time

Alternative tittle: bunch of native speakers argue about what is acceptavle in their own language lmao

​@@MrKuriIIko It maybe grammatically correct, but the problem is that something correct does not necessarily means it is widely used. (пример тому "одевать" и "надевать", все знают - одевают кого-то, но на устоявшееся "одевай шапку" никто не обращает внимания) For me "чья сестра она" sounds like someone thought of one thing but then suddenly in the middle of the phrase decided to say another thing. Чья это and чья она are both good though.

согласна, перевод в таком случае был бы “even if”

Thanks!

@@languageswithtom2634 gonna learn some russian further?

@@torgon2711 Right now I'm not focusing on it and only practicing it every so often to not forget things. But I will do in the future.

@@languageswithtom2634 very good, you can even speak it. im sure you studied it somewhere beyond Duolingo

@@torgon2711 I only used duolingo for about a week at the start and got too frustrated with it. I mostly read books and translated what I didn't understand and then started trying to speak when I could understand enough.

I've been using Duolingo for over a year now and had no idea there was a forum where you could get questions answered. Could you please let me know where to find this?

«даже если» переводился как «even if», а так правильно сказать либо «не смотря на то, что» или «хотя»

Он скорее всего был бы принят, не допусти он ошибку в слове "сестра", написав "систра".

It's hard to say because I started learning it like 6-7 years ago but I only really learned it in a dedicated way for 3 years. Now I just talk occasionally to not forget things.

I was too lazy to learn the russian layout and use a multilingual keyboard. I just use a regular keyboard and use the mnemonic russian layout. It's basically the same as the english layout. Like this: Я сейчас пишу на русском = q sejchas piwu na russkom That's what I'm typing.
