Russians Try To Speak English 

We just published our new video, go and check it! 🥰 Also promote your videos/products with us 🚀 Links in the description.

I think it's a little hilarious that so many of these non-native English speakers already use 'like' as a filler word

“My name’s Vika and I’m a little bit stupid” SAME

- Noooo! Speak english! I don't understand you!! - Заебись, зато я тебя отлично понимаю

"I am not understand what you said but so-so.. Plus I teach English in school!" THAT WAS DAMN HILARIOUS

I'm sure that every person in any part of this world hates this phrase: "Tell me about yourself". 😀😂

I am an american who visited Russia a few years back. Loved it and found the people absolutely lovely.

They didn't "try" to speak English, they spoke it beautifully! - Love from England :)

Now we need a video: “Native English speakers try to speak Russian”

I am impressed. So many spoke English. I understood them well many of them. Their pronunciation was very good. If I was in Russia, I would appreciate them speaking to me in English!! We all should appreciate their efforts!! Thank you from the USA in the NY/NJ area!

We are all a little bit Vika

Оkey, so сейчас мне not very ashamed for мой акцент

я изучал русский язык в течение трех лет, один час в неделю. мой учитель был милым человеком, который любил русский язык. он даже выучил церковнославянский язык. он сказал мне, что его положение как еврея затрудняло поступление в университет. однажды он обнаружил, что его докторская диссертация о Пушкине была опубликована с именем его научного руководителя. Советник сказал ему, что, будучи евреем, он никогда не сможет преподавать русскую литературу, которую он очень любит. Во всяком случае, это было в Советском Союзе. В конце концов он устроился на работу и преподавал русский язык в Америке. он был блестящим человеком и любил всех людей. он никогда никого не критиковал. Мне до сих пор нравится говорить по-русски, и я считаю, что это прекрасный язык. я американец еврейского происхождения, чьи бабушка и дедушка приехали сюда, чтобы спастись от плохих условий в Европе. Американцы не ненавидят русских. Во всех странах есть невежественные люди. однако хорошие люди всегда найдут и поддержат друг друга.

I am waiting for the strong Russian accent which the bad guys always have in the movies😂

at 2:50 he probably said “you will own my heart”!

When she said “My name is Vika and I’m a little bit stupid” I felt that

1:49 Interviewer: tell me about yourself in one sentence. Russian guy: I think the most important thing in a woman is the soul.

0:37 was anyone else thrown off by that guys voice

Since English is not my first language, I can truly say that speaking is way harder than expressing your thoughts by writing. It takes a couple of seconds to prepare your phrase, set the words in right order etc. Also it’s about the psychological part while you’re speaking with native speaker, you become kinda nervous about not making mistakes, misspellings and looking stupid in front of him. It comes with practicing and I really enjoy speaking English with others who can understand me

I'm from Scotland but recently moved to Russia last month. I want Vika to be my best friend thanks lmao

МЫ РУССКИЕ С НАМИ АНГЛИЙСКИЙ

As an American, the way we are taught in school and how the media makes Russia look is so negative. I’m so glad I found this channel as it helps me learn more about how Russian people actually are, thank you for making these videos! Нас, американцев, учат в школе и то, как СМИ выставляют Россию, очень негативно. Я так рада, что нашла этот канал, потому что он помогает мне больше узнать о том, каковы на самом деле русские, спасибо за эти видео!

Americans trying to speak russian: "Can you speak Russian?" "Nah dude, I can't speak Russian"

“Upper-intermediate.” Okay large word using non English speaking man you can call it what you want, but that’s more than upper-intermediate.

“If you buy me a cup of noodles, you will own my heart.”

I thought I was stupid, but I translated everything

Mans said “enjoy the vibe” he’s not upper intermediate he’s completely fluent lmao

Nice people :) and intelligent :) Wish there was no war and we could all be friends and hang out.

Damn, They speak better English than I do but when I speak Russian I sound weird.

They are so sweet ❤️ I was born in Russia but moved away early but I feel like that’s my people

As a native Russian, who lives in Germany, I could say that the most complicated part is switching of context! It is really hard to switch between different languages if you don't practice it on the every-day basis. I work with people from Germany, Spain and France and I have to switch German and English a lot during the day. But in the beginning it was extremely difficult.

If you've studied Russian, you can hear the Russian grammar being formed in their heads as they try to speak English Very similar to how English speakers try to form Russian in their head with English grammar but we have to twist the grammar around for it to make sense in Russian

Ну мне кажеться, что они неплохо говорят. По крайне мере почти все были в состоянии, чтобы выражать себя! Я англичан и знаю как это сложно выучить язык который сильно отличается из самого!

I’m currently learning how to speak and write in Russian. I only know a few Russian words and can write only little Russian words but to me some words are hard to pronounce and I sometimes say them wrong but I know that I can keep practicing and practicing everyday until I prove my Russian language right I one day want to visit Russia because i love their beautiful culture. Speaking Russian would be my third language because Spanish is my second language and English is my first language.

2:49 To me that sounded like he clearly said “you will own my heart”

"My name is Vika and i'm a little bit stupid" Hey me too girl it's ok

Man, does anybody appreciates the beauty of the places they took the video? It’s so nice.

Omg please please ! do more! I will support my part, I never or we barely get to see the Russian perspectives from a RU-vidr. Especially one who puts subtitles. ! you're a rarity.

Your page is dope. Never really think ab the Russians but found this really interesting and kind of funny

Они изо всех сил старались, надо отдать им должное 💀

“I needed English when I was in China”

A half Serb, half Russian? Now that's some beautiful cultural love!

2:40 Korean printed on Vika's T shirt - "Accept yourself" Well... she is accepting herself.

Зис видеоу соу плэжэнт! Сэнкс э лот фор воркинг.

I’m so happy your uploading Russia Videos. I mean, when I search Russian videos, I just find politic videos.

I'm really impressed that they took the time to learn English and then were able to carry a conversation with someone on the street in it. How well cultured they were.

Damnnnn there all so good at speaking English. I’m trying to learn Russian atm and it’s super fucking hard... :( but I love the language so much. Also I love the CCCP jacket of the interviewer! Keep it going Товарищ ✊🏽

I love Russian people. They are very beautiful, sincere and kind💖

2:38 "Tell me about yourself in one sentence." "My name is Vika and I'm a little bit stupid." Perfect. 😂😂😂 ~:~

Чуваку, который в инглише специализируется, в универе чет произношение не поставили

*sounds of disappointment because I wasn’t there to show off my /useless/ C2 level when they were shooting this vid*

0:40 I'm worried about his students.

Russians are awesome!

I've noticed while learning Russian. Their language is very straight forward. Instead of saying "I am a firefighter" they would just say я - пожа́рный = I firefighter. English has a lot of filler, but Russian seems to be more direct and straight forward.

It's very interesting; Russians seem to be very soft-spoken but intimidatingly gorgeous :)

4:20 "it's like the London is the Capital of Great Britain" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg I love it

They spoke it well. Very well and it made me smile and felt happy.

Coming to Russia in June to watch Russia v Finland in the Euros!

I taught English to Russians who came to live in England. I told them to not worry if they thought their English is bad, their English is better than my Russian.

I love listening to Russian accent. It's one of the best accent I have ever heard.

Very interesting videos! Russia's reputation is not so good where I live, so it's great to see just normal Russians.

Those church bells in the background, music to my ears 🤌🏾✝️

Мое знание английского «London is the capital city”😁😆

English is probably one of the easiest languages to start speaking basic sentences but extremely difficult to master and be precise with your words.

English and Russian are totally different in sounds grammar and alphabet I give all these people major props. As an American, I am learning German and having a tough time, even tho English is a Germanic language 😂 I hope to learn some Russian one day as well

2:10 omg I'm from Serbia too hi brother 🇷🇸💞🇷🇺🥰

I wanted to visit Russia and hope I can go in the next 8 years before I am too old to travel. I’m 73.

I love everyone who speak English in Russian accent, it sound beautiful

0:39 His voice is like on helium

The guy with beards is handsome though! Speaking of, Я чуть-чуть знаю по-Русский друзья

Speaking a second language is a valuable skill. As an American, at one time I was fairly fluent in Spanish. But if you don't constantly use the skill, you quickly lose the ability. I admire the ability of these folks to speak as well as they do. I sort of love Russians.

Oh seriously I'm living in Russia (saint petersburg) since 5 months and I've never met someone who could speek English Its really rare In the vedio they are all good!

I love russians and the russian language and accent so much 😂❤️

1:45 he prolly meant Kindergarten

Currently learning Russian in my spare time, I have to say these people's English is WAY better then my Russian! Very impressive! 👍

RU-vid: *recommends this video Me, a Japanese who don’t do English: なにこれ彼奴ら自分より英語話せるやん笑

Every single one of them should be very proud of themselves for at least trying to speak English. Its really appreciated when you go to a different country and even say a couple of words. So well done to them for learning some English.

Сижу практикую свой инглиш для такого интервью Ну а чо вдруг спросят на улице

The bells do not want this video made

Я хоть и не русский, вообще не был в России нету русских друзей Но я знаю русский язык, я даже сам не знаю откуда вообще не изучал

I love your videos. Greetings from Mexico.

Блин, а я думала, что сейчас плохо говорить начнут, так как многие мои друзья знают английский не очень хорошо. А оказывается, что все довольно нормально у нас в стране)

Damn this channel was so innocent back then

I think he said “you will own my heart” at 2:49

I’m a native english speaker from America and I keep hearing people from Russia that I meet in Riga, Estonia, etc, say “So so” or “50-50” and almost no from an English speaking country says this. The way english is spoken by Russians is not really the way we speak, it’s too formal there. It sounds so damn weird, it’s like how Drago from rocky speaks. “I crush you” or “hello my friend,” and “I must to go to store.” They keep missing the articles which is weird.

These Russians should be proud of ttheir ability. Greetings from the USA!

The first guy looks like grown up version of boy who played Jojo in Jojo rabbit

"I don't understand what you said......but I teach English in school" what?

That is a very pretty place!!! I would love to visit russia someday (if I have money😂😂😂😂)

"My name is Vika and I'm a little bit stupid" Yes,we have that one friend in the group that somehow makes us feel bit more smart than we know😂😂😂

2:48 I think he said "you will own my heart", as in he'll love you forever

0:35 nice voice...

2:40 😂😂

In 1988 I visited Moscow, Russia. Much different feel before the iron curtain fell but I was a student at the time traveling with my parents, and it's not shocking to know that many people can speak English overseas. It's just embarrassing that so many Americans don't speak other languages. If you ask me, it's pointless to start teaching sophomores in high school French or Spanish; and that's the only two languages that are available. I'm not saying that the students are stupid, I just think they listen to the lesson, Get the homework, and they are lost and have no interest. I have friends in Italy ,Germany, and France. Some have told me they have learned from a small child. I think children's mines are absolutely sponges and we teach them from little children. They can retain so much information. My grandson is 18 months, I don't speak Spanish, but if I have to sit there with him, Say the name of the cards hear what they sound like. I will do whatever I can.❤

Moscow is such a beautiful city:) It's clean, safe, great transport and the people are friendly.

Am I the only one who's noticed that the interviewer has a Russian accent himself? Not a native speaker for sure

Sounds like Russian people understands English very well but can't speak English very well

Ай донт андэрстэнд

Non-English speakers - Says they know a little but speaks fluently English speakers - Says they know a bit but only know 3 phrases

You all are making a great start. Don't let anyone tell you any different.
