[katherine11138]

how long did it take you to learn russian?thanks

[DroogDrooga]

@katherine11138 It's always been an ongoing process, and Im still learning. I have come a long way since this video, Russia is like a second home to me now that I have spent so much time there. Im so glad I can speak it.

[dzpuppy]

i taught myself russian just the same way this guy did. i didn't know untill i looked but at my local libary they have cds there for language learners and i did just as he did when you fall asleep and listen, it helps so much!

[javxav1]

My girl is kazas, she speaks russian and I wanted to learn her language very well can someone teach me?? if you interested in english or spanish i would love to teach you if you do the same favor :D pokaa i spasiba kazhdyi

[xrenube]

Also, "Вы" is a "formal-plural": you can say for example "YOU ALL" on english, otherwise it'll looks like "ВЫ" in Russian Language.

KiNO forever, Greets from Russia!

[olliewaite]

[miercuri]

I really appreciate this video, I have just started learning Russian now, in my first year of college. Although I find the language absolutely amazing, I started feeling less enthousiastic once we got into more "serious" grammar. However I will take your advice on this one and try to watch as many films in Russian as possible, I really have good feeling about it. Your video is really inspiring! Balshoe spasiba

[31Nibs]

how would u say ur welcome or thanks in russian

[TooolyHooof]

спасибо - thank you

пожалуйста - you're welcome

[pavi7890]

Thats inspiring!

[alagnam]

ok the guy mentioned listening to music before and while sleeping.. do you guys recommend any bands? the only russian music i have are from t.A.t.u (16 songs from them)

thanks!!

[magicman2206]

by the way, can you tell me where I can get some great russian films, like a webite or so. Like Moscow Dosen't Believe in Tears. And other great movies

[pen24]

Man I want to learn Russian but they talk so damn fast and I have a slow mid-western. And the Cyrillic alphabet is intimidating.

[Zenboy23]

That music is so cool, russian new wave?

Thanks for the tip and my new interest in kino

[slingshotsally]

wow your video is great and you teach very well! Spasiba!

[Rollo3212]

I loved the video. I found it very encouraging to continue learning russian. thank you.

[liquidsord23]

KINO ROCKS and im not even Russian

[zenmart]

Actually the Russian pronouns sound like French because they are cognate (they have the same origin). French is derived from Latin. Latin and Russian and many other ancient languages all derived from Indo-European (that's what the call it because there is no written record of it). Ancient Greek, some middle eastern languages and even some Indian languages all derived from Indo-European.

[Wheelyberto]

the cyrillic alphabets mainly derived from greek and hebrew, as it was invented by a greek monk, St Cyril

[cariosus]

Yeah, zenmart is right that Russian has some similarities with Romantic languages and even Greek because of (maybe?) Indo-European. ты (ti) and вы (vwi) are like tu and vous in French and tu and voi in Italian and many words have Latin roots, it seems. And the Cyrillic alphabet is pretty similar to the Greek one, at least (А Г К П Р Т Y Ф Х) seem to be exactly the same. Interesting...

[clipmaster2000]

russian is similar to armenian . in armenian we have diffrent word or pluralize when you talk to elders and if you want to respect people. very nice languages both armenian and russian

[victorbatov]

Russian language looks like a France language or something other?

[victorbatov]

Russian language looks like a France language or something other?

[HammandClov]

French is a Romance language like Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, etc. Russian is a part of the Slavic language family, I believe. Two very different families and also Russian uses cyrillic alphabet, not Latin alphabet. Russian is pretty hard to learn but if you know another slavic language, it could be easier.

[Eloen136]

Spaseeba for this and das svi niya =)

[veromagick]

i learned russian by memorizing

all the t.A.T.u songs:D

[Philly666lol]

ah Russian works like french, you got 'tu' which is informal and 'vous' which is formal (equivalent of 'you'

Tu travailles (You work informal form)

Vous travaillez (pretty sure u can guess that one :P)

[MishkaNikolaievich]

nice work! How long did it end up taking you to learn the russian language? very good if you can speak fluently for a westerner.

[Marinochka1986]

А чё классно сделано, думаю, многим поможет!!!!!

[lecossio]

I LOVE RUSSIAN girls and language.

I have many ruski friends and they are teaching me how to speak in Russian.

They ALL tell me my pronunciation is very good (I am Hispanic).

Soon I will go to Moscow.

Poka

[himloverlove]

Ty it was amazing i really want to speak Russian Now because over the Summer i Met some amazing friends From Russia and i made a promise to go visit them and i cant wait as well whose playing in the background?

[GGNNOOMM]

this is old russian band KINO

[byrlink]

I started learning with the Teach Yourself series too, and was very happy and learned a lot with the first level until I reached the DECLENSIONS in the second level and realized that russian is one of the most difficult languages in the world to master!!!!!!!!

Thanks, anyway.

[axyxo]

thanks man. really good tips : ;)

[IceCrystall]

Russian is a cool language and I want to learn it so bad! :)

[g3cKo123]

[tinyke3]

Good Russian Music : t.A.T.u. !!

They're the best group ever :D

I'm now learning Russian to understand their songs better ^_^

thanks for helping me with your video :D

[crazyclive]

"Good Russian Music : t.A.T.u. !! They're the best group ever :D"

I'm sorry, but are you off your nut? Didn't you hear them shout at each other for three minutes at Eurovision in 2003?

[mejepri3]

t.A.T.u. son lo mas!!!

mucha gente aprendio ruso por ellas...

[ADCVirgo]

I think the Russian language is so serious and badass thats why I want to learn it it has that amount of respect to it.. great video

[MajorTom6158]

Thanks uploader and mentor!

[jaivenmsn]

Hey mate. Good tips. Thanks.

[Punorss]

Some good tips,thanks.

[Clavin29]

Great!!!(thumbsup)

[Keroppi89]

Great video . To the guy teaching in the video and whoever post this video , thanks ! Really did a great job .

[tanhamil]

I dont know if this has been asked but are you fluent in russian & how long did it take you to learn?

[Gadolinium158]

Ive decided to learn Russian. I was unsure and was split between French (because I live in close proximity with quebec) and Russian. However, I love the way Russian sounds and think the culture is fascinating.

[chopinizer]

how amazing, i am a Quebeccer trying to learn russian, i've got english already (obviously) and some spanish, ive been reading so many russian books, Dostoievski, Tolstoi, Tchekov, Bourkhine, Soljenistyne... thats a good trick to help you understand their culture better.

[Paco319]

I lerned english by watching carons when is was a child :D ,its easy to learn by watching tv in the language you want to learn :)

[theclax2007]

что music group is that at the end of video?

i like this song...)))

[juliett777]

Great tips and really liked your video :)

[kabitoqui]

good video dude

[DroogDrooga]

I have it hung down in banner style because I get good coverage behind with back lighting. And even then I have to zoom in a little. If the wind was blowing to my right as I am in the video, or left for the person watching, the flag is then horizontal like it would be on a flag pole, just imagine there's no wind. its all good.

[Skoben2000]

Haven't you ever seen the Olympics, where they hang all the flags in this manner? There is an ettiquitte and proper form to hang them in this manner and it's acceptable as long as the rules are followed.

[SummerPudding1]

Greetings from London. I'm trying to learn the language myself. Thanks for the tips.

PS: who's the closing music by? It sounds like a Russian Joy Division.

[iLikeFanta]

It's Russian-Korean singer Viktor Zoi

[theclax2007]

Thanks))

[iLikeFanta]

It's a Russian-Korean singer Viktor Zoi

He's dead for almost 20 years now

[gamefreak203]

[JarmenKell88]

[1337gam3r07]

[enjoythekill666]

[rockgodkid]

[notgoo5565]

does anyone know of a cd or a dvd that will teach u russian or something? i want to learn this badass language!

[showtunesgeek]

Rosetta Stone works for me.

[fivestars20]

russian is itself hard as hell - but russia slang is even harder!!!! i am so happy russian is my first language so i dont have to learn it!

[Cherrycherryred]

This was very helpful, thank you very much! Or should I say: 'Спасибо'

[Rex2400]

Otchen horosho.. Prigaditsa tibje ruskij jazik..

[pelizete]

is Russia your nataive lang?

[DroogDrooga]

No, After learning on my own, I studied Russian at Moscow State University. That and spending time in Russia with my commitment and passion for the language. Has braught me to a level of fluidity Im very happy with. Now to build on that and keep learning to hit and surpass new plateaus is the idea, learn and start again.

[77easterly77]

Way to go. Nice choice of music... Только над фонетикой надо бы еще поработать.

[ramsy66]

Awesome video, I'm learning Russian right now, this video helped.

[mpeTina]

[american1marines]

[american1marines]

[DroogDrooga]

[YaLubluiRossiu]

U tebya vserovno akcent est, no necho. Normalno! Bravo!

[wavgirl]

Hey, thanks for posting this. There are some good tips.

[tony609]

horosho horosho good video man

[77Priest77]

great tips, i love the russian language but find it hard to learn. thanks

[MickQuick07]

just a thought - enunciate just a lil more & repeat the words. good vid tho. thanks

[jewishsoulgirl]

I like your video footage of Russia. When you say the words could you say them slower and more times in a row. English~Russian~English 5 or 6 times. Thanks.

[OrangeJuiceGoose]

Gosh I'd really like the name of the song playing in the background if you dont mind =)! Helpful video by the way

[BayernxMunich]

SHTO? lol i'm kidding you're helpful. Can you recommend some russian movies.

[FranzFerdinand55]

one more thing:

the flag is positioned incorrectly in the background!

but no problems. just turn it to the right and youll have the white, blue, red!

[DroogDrooga]

Hi, thanks for the feed back. I have it hung down in banner style because I get good coverage behind with back lighting. And even then I have to zoom in a little. If the wind was blowing to my right as I am in the video, or left for the person watching, and the flag is horizontal on a flag pole its all good. I'll see how the other way works in my next vid. I like the Kino cover Bee Dva does of Kykyshka.

[FranzFerdinand55]

haha. no problem. keep ur pronunciation!

B2 is a good man. for some reason reminds me of Interpol, but its much heavier.

its good rock. check it all out. and the movies.

i read u were in Izhevsk and Tallinn? how was it?

what others have u been to? im from Vladimir. and Kirov, actually Yaransk. Ioshkar-Ola and Cheboksary are cities ive visited also.

[FranzFerdinand55]

good video man.

and nice kino playing in the background, if im not mistaking!

both of the brother movies are awesome.

i highly recommend watching "Brigada". its about the 90s in Russia and how crime dominated politics.

in music, check out "Lyube", a Russian patriotic rock band. also B2, who play the main theme song in Brat 2.

and check out soviet cinema! its the best!

very nice man. keep up the good work.

[locotano]

thanks for this videos! more please

[ludwig1992pantera]

thanxs my friend is russian they said they would toutor me for free so i wondered what books or tapes to get i have the idiots guige and i dont like it and nice accent man

[DroogDrooga]

Check out the Everything Russia link in the about this video section, there you will find many books to choose from which you can buy online, or you can head to your local book store. Make sure you get something with audio and not just text, but don't get something with just audio and no text. I started with the (teach yourself) series

[dmike8698]

hey!!!!!! thank you so much,,could you give me the names of some russian movies??? and the names of some russian music,,please.

[SonofPerun]

ican give you a name of good russian ban that plays russian folk music in a modern way.

[dmike8698]

ok,, what's the name?? of this band

[DroogDrooga]

I like the film maker Andrey Tarkovski, some of his films are; Solarius, Andrey Roblov, Stalker, Zerkalo which means mirror. I also like Igla which means needle this film stars Victor Tsoi a famous Russian rock legend. He played in the group Kino. Other films I've seen; Sibirskee Sirolneek/ Siberian Express, Brat 1 and 2/ Brother, Sestri/sisters.

Some groups, DDT, Natilus Pumpilus, Piknik,

[ludwig1992pantera]

thanks for the tips what did you use to learn

russian what book

[DroogDrooga]

I first started with the teach yourself series(Russian, a complete course for beginners). Which came with 2 tapes for listening comprehension, hearing what your learning really helps set you off to a strong start.

[vipoffset]

Чувак, ты нереально крут! Тронут прямо до глубины души, щаз раскидаю ссылки везде где только можно... нет слов, одни эмоции.
