Am I Russian? No. Does Russian interest me? Yes. Do I want to learn Russian? Yes. Did I watch this to the end? Yes. Did I understand a thing? No. Does Russian still interest me? Yes. [EDIT: woah can't believe this comment reached 3.2k in two weeks]
Thanks a lot. I watched this video out of curiosity because I vibe with my Russian brethren and now my feed is filled with Russian language tutorials and I’m on the CIA watchlist.
I spent all 9 minutes pronouncing Russian letters according to the American lesson. (although I am Russian myself) Dude, I want to say that you really pronounce Russian letters well, especially sibilant letters - «Ш» and «Щ» good job, good luck with learning Russian)
My mom's Russian so I grew up with speaking it with her, but I never learned how to read or write in Russian, so I'm learning this to impress her. THANK UU🙏🙏
Удачи, приятель! Я должна выучить английский, просто потому что это увеличит для меня шансы устроиться на работу. Но по английскому в колледже мне ставят четыре только за красивые презентации😊
Holy shit im not the only one here with a russian mother and being able to speak it without being able to read it 😭 child of an immigrant problems for real

This is a very annoying habit of Russians, under any video where they are mentioned in any way in a neutral+ style, a large number of them will consider it their duty to make a pathetic national joke/comment-reminder of their existence in the world, or they'll reply to every single foreigner in comments in Russian or telling them something about themselves (like if someone asked). I'm Russian myself, but seeing this makes me cringe; It also reminds me of the herd instinct
I taught the russian alphabet to myself few years ago, took me like 1 or 2 hours to know it by heart. Its rlly easier than u think. Nice video, especially because you often create these connections so people can remember it better, like the R & P pirate thing u mentioned, very nice!👍
I am learning Russian words slowly through an online game, Geoguessr. I made a list of all the letters and there are a lot of cities and words like café, station or hotel that I can recognise but your tutorial is a big help in refining the pronunciation. cпасибо. ❤
@@thailiveaboard - Oh my! Just had a quick look at the game, seems to be a very advanced version of DOOM which I used to play eons ago! Didn't see any cyrillic and am not sure that, in my panic to take out opponents, I might miss the EXIT even if it were right in front of me! Thanks for the suggestion though, I might give it a shot! 🙂
Those aren't letters, those are characters. Chinese uses logography writing system and (i think) they don't count as actual letters as some contains the same sounds. The language that has the most actual letters is Tamil which has around 55 letters (bro's alphabet song has 2 stanzas 💀)
@@thehackking4419Well depends what you count a letter as, for example the Khmer language has 74 letters. But it’s a syllabary so it’s for the 74 consonant vowel pairs
@@kylezdancewicz7346 what i know is that letters are individual characters similar to individual lego pieces that can be structured as words, while logography characters are a set of some sort of "pre-built" letters with built in meaning. Syllabary is somewhat similar to logography, but it takes the characteristic of both.
@@thehackking4419 Not really, in a syllabary the symbols still hold phonetic information while in a logogram the characters hold morphological and syntactic information like house. A syllabary is still said as it’s spelt a logogram isn’t so. Also Tamil is complicated as it’s an abugita which means vowels are diacritics and modifiers instead of whole letters so really Tamil is more like 24ish letters and 14ish modifiers with and implicit a vowel. If that counts so should syllabries but if we’re doing abiguetas don’t count individual characters or every consonant modifiers pair.
@@kylezdancewicz7346 Ah i see. But funilly though, i mistook Telugu with Tamil. I was refering to Telugu the whole time. Although your point is right, i'm still curious about Telugu..
It was fun to watch and to read comments was hella fun as well. Thanks dude! (I don't know anything about english language rules, I just used to play a lot of videogames back in the days)
"Тук тук" -кто там? -слова исключения😈 О БОЖЕ Я ТОЛЬКО ЗАМЕТИЛ ЧТО ПОПУЛЯРЕН! или по умному и литературному сленгу это Свет моей популярности озарил мои веки, что были ещё не готовы к такому потрясению ведь только секунду назад я еще даже и не подозревал о невиданной славе. В этом и прелесть и ужас русского языка. Так много воды можно набрать только из русского словаря.
The Pokémon Emerald music softly playing in the background did not go over my head. 😁 You're a good and entertaining explainer, btw. I could follow the logic along.
I am from Bangladesh. I learnt the Russian alphabet in 2022 when i was in the 10th. But later just focus on my English speaking more. Right now, I am fluent in both Bengali and English. A goal I have now is to learn Russian becuz I want to study in Russia and settle there. Tomorrow will be my day 1.
XD это было весело. Хорошее чувство юмора, хотя, всё-таки, за пример "тупой американец", брать - жестковато. Про число Пи было неожиданно ))) Да и с "you" было весело. Хотел бы я пообщаться с людьми, которые прошли твои курсы )))
As an American who learned to transliterate Russian a few years ago so I could read the graffiti in the Metro games and also the titles of Кино songs, I still learned a lot from this! I had honestly never put together that so many letters were just straight up the Greek letters in a more blocky style, and those letters ALWAYS trip me up for a second while I have to consciously think about them, but I now I feel like I can spend less time on them since I'm already familiar with the Greek alphabet from science classes! Thanks, Yama!
7:39 😂 "сука", translates to "you" "сука" is a word that means both bitch and female dog, but mostly used to insult or to describe situation if something goes wrong (depends on context)
I tried to lear rusian a long time ago for my own and it was overwhelming so i quit. But You make it sound easy and funny so I'm subscribing and looking forward to learn russian
I'm from poland, but never could read or understand a single thing in russian. After watching this video I can read every single russian comment on here and even translate it to polish, since it's so similiar after decoding it. Thank you VERY MUCH!
@@user-or8gi4yl7p it's because Polish and Russian are very similar. They are not mutually intelligible, but still very similar. I'm Russian and when I first started to learn Polish it was quite easy to understand some sentences and words both written (if you have learned how to read in Polish) and spoken. So yeah, this person isn't a genius, they already have a huge database of Russian by simply being a polish native.
Idk man I couldn't learn Spanish after 3 years of studying cause it was boring and I haven't even attempted to learn Japanese cause of how intimidating it is, but I'm having fun trying to read what all of the Russians in the comment section are saying; and I always learn best when I have fun doing it. This goofy MFer might have me learning Russian now...
На самом деле уголки рта раздвигаются в разные стороны, просто не так выраженно, как у тех кто тренирует такое положение губ. В универе мы тренировали произношение английских звуков - там тоже есть такое положение губ, растянутых наподобие улыбки, называется "оскал"))) используется для произношения звуков l, d, t, m, p, b, th и тд
its some historical thing that happend cus north part of china read the character for tea as "chai" , that spred to other countries by land, and southern as "tea" that was brought to european countries by sea if im not mistaken, there was one cool video about that, you can find it
I taught myself cyrillic a long time ago, I keep the русский keyboard swap on my phone whenever i want to try and use it. Autocorrect is my savior for spelling 😂 But its actually a really fun language to read and write once you get the letters down which are actually pretty simple. Knowing how to make sentence structures though makes me want to blow my brains out 😂 I just wish I had someone who could help me along the way or atleast someone to learn along side with cuz i really need that correction and understanding at this stage of my leatning 😢
@@-SUM1- он не носитель, это было шутка что у него русский материнский язык, даже дальше когда начинает объяснять, с него сильно слышна американская R. он кстати канадец нерусского происхождения.
Great video. It was fun, and I like the humor and a few easter egg (or what to call them). Because of the format, some stuff instantly got stuck to my memory. Keep it up mate
Почему уроки русского такие забавные? Это круто. Когда я учил английский по видео, то там было что-то скорее скучное. А тут по сути всё видео это сплошной троллинг. Пойду дальше "учить" русский
Это начальные уроки забавные. А вот углублённые правила с позиции иностранца выглядят пугающе. О многих вещах просто не задумываешься, так как интуитивно понимаешь с детства, а ведь они абсолютно непонятны и зачастую нелогичны.
As a native Russian speaker, the joke about "Suka" and the English translation of "You" sounded great. Since "Suka" is an insult and if you combine the two words "You suka", it will turn out as an insult.
Wait wasn’t it a bit like Tsuka instead of suka or am I tripping😆.. I thought it was something like TsukaBliet idk if that makes sence but try to understand bro 😂💀
Спискерс - да, но не все райтерс. Некоторые так пишут, что хочется им посоветовать воздержаться, чтобы иностранцы не вздумали по ним научиться всяким "что-ли" и "что то".
Pro tips for those who want to sound less foreign :) 1:02 Don’t aspirate T and K (and also П /p/), i.e. don’t add that H-sound. For instance, pronounce T as in STOOL, not as in TOOL. Also, T (and other T-like sounds: Д /d/, Н /n/, С /s/, Л /l/) are pronounced into the teeth, so put the tip of your tongue against the upper teeth, not against the ridge above them as you might do in English. 1:54 For Ш /sh/, roll up your tongue a little, so that the tip of your tongue faces up. The same goes for Ж /zh/ (the one from the famous English word je m’appelle). For Ч /ch/ and Щ /shsh/, raise the middle part of your tongue, as you do when you pronounce Й /y/ (like in You or Yellow). And also, Щ is pronounced longer. 5:29 You might think you didn’t hear a proper Й /y/ sound here in МЁД, and you would be correct! More about that down in the explanation about Ъ and Ь 6:35 To properly pronounce Х /kh/, make sure the back part of your tongue is raised. You normally raise the same part of your tongue to pronounce K or G 7:01 Fun fact! Н did look more like N in Cyrillic originally, and И looked more like H, but then the bar in И moved down and allowed the N to have it’s bar horizontal :) 7:45 Those are not just letters that are always silent. They don’t have their own sounds, but they modify the sounds of the neighbouring letters! First, let’s talk about Ь. There are almost twice as many consonant sounds in Russian as there are consonant letters. That’s because most consonants can be either _hard_ or _soft_ (palatalized or palatal, linguistically speaking). Don’t confuse that with hard and soft C! Russian soft consonants sound similar to their hard counterparts. To make a consonant sound soft, raise the middle part of your tongue, as you do when you pronounce Й /y/ (like in You or Yellow), but then pronounce the consonant with your lips, the tip of your tongue or the back of your tongue. To mark that a consonant is soft, we put a Ь after them: СОЛЬ (hard С /s/, soft Л /l/), ОБЛАСТЬ (hard Б /b/ and Л /l/, soft С /s/ and Т). But when we want to pronounce a soft consonant before a vowel, we use the Й-counterpart, so in МЁД we have soft М, then О, and then hard Д /d/. Well, what if we want the Й-vowels to have that Й sound? That’s when we use Ь or Ъ between the consonant and the vowel! If the consonant is still soft, we use Ь: АБЬЮЗ = А, then soft Б /b/, then Й /y/, then У /u/, then hard З /z/. If the consonant should remain hard, we use Ъ: ОБЪЕКТ = О, then hard Б /b/, then Й /y/, then Э /e/, then hard К, then hard Т. 8:17 Yama missed a letter between Ф and Ц! Can you remember which one? (He also left out Ъ and Ь, in our alfabet they surround the Ы, so _… Ъ Ы Ь Э Ю Я_ ) Thank you for coming to my TED talk
Прочитав этот комментарий я понял, что неправильно произносил слово объект, а еще я не понял зачем я его прочитал, но вас явно недооценили(судя по лайкам)
@@fgyeyr - Если вы носитель, то, скорее всего, вы произносили «объект» правильно, вы ж на то и носитель. Большинство носителей на самом деле не различают разделительные Ъ и Ь, иначе бы нам не пришлось в школе учить, что Ъ ставится между приставкой и корнем, а Ь в остальных случаях. Но в такие подробности я вдаваться в описании не стал, изучающим русский и так с этими знаками нелегко)) - Моему комментарию всего 2 дня, а видео, кажется, больше недели, так что мне ещё повезло, что тут вообще кто-то на него натыкается) Но я рад, что людям нравится! Не зря полчаса сидел строчил хехе
Videos like these make me realise how much of educational content is marketed towards unwitting Americans. I’m a Latino who recognises a few of these characters from a middle-school Greek mythology phase! Cheers from around the world 👋
I was in Portugal last year and multiple times i got the impression that I heard someone spoke Russian. When I listened more carefully I was able to understand nothing from that conversation. This way I learned how Portuguese and Russian are similar. The funny thing is how often you get into this trap. Every time your brain tries to follow and parse the speech, but a few moments later it realizes it was wrong. 😆
tok (ток) is not electricity! Electricity is elektrichestvo (электричество), word have Greek over Latin roots, so it is similar in all languages. While tok is "current", it is what running inside of conductor regards to voltage.
смотреть это видео и знать при этом английский так же приятно, как играть в игру в которую ты уже играл и проходить обучение. Ты знаешь все комбо и как управлять персонажем, этот уровень - не уровень вовсе
Don't trust this video entirely, he's trolling at some points. In terms of pronunciation it's really great. Щ should even softer, but Ш is perfect, this pair is distinguishable, which is an achievement. The best way to produce Ы is to hold a pencil or whatever you may afford between the teeth with approximately 1.5 inches in the mouth. This will prevent the tongue from moving forward, instead of "if" you'll get "ыф"
As someone from Belarus and moved away before I could read or speak Russian fluently, this helped, thanks! And good video style, got that Iman Gadzhi vibe.
2:54 the russian village boy caught me off guard so much that I retook and whesed on it for an hour straight... Shotout to your editor ggs... And at 2:17 I thought about better leaning Chinese...
