Русский алфавит (Russian Alphabet)

[Thedutchjelle]

Man, the differences between the I (reverse N) and the written M are tiny, if there are any at all.

[IndoJowie]

I so wish somebody could/would like to teach me 'live'...it's difficult, but thanks for your video, its really helpfull for a beginner as myself!!!!

[52653eddie]

The song is called "Чему учат в школе"

[MsrKakashkin]

Так пишется большая " Ы " а так маленькая "ы" на "ы" много слов Ыыы :З

[KILLZONERUSSIA]

@MsrKakashkin ыыыЫ))))

[MsrKakashkin]

@KILLZONERUSSIA Ыгыгы :§

[MissManslaughter]

....I am so mindfucked right now. I just got a how-to-learn Russian book and audio tapes for Christmas, and I am so lost already. o____x

[rfnthbyf92]

The song is called "Чему учат в школе", it is composed by Shainsky (Шаинский) and written by Plyatskovsky (Пляцковский). Sorry for my English, if I made​a mistake.

[thephilosopherkartik]

I wonder whether I'm the only one who keeps coming back to this video to listen to the song at 0.35? Though, of course, I also found the video quite useful as a beginning Russian-learner. :-)

[aleko008]

@thephilosopherkartik The song is nice, isn't it :-)

[degraciado]

the name song 0;40sec ???

[Freezegazer]

Вообще, кривой почерк, конечно. Такой по видео не показывать )

[Freezegazer]

@Freezegazer

У тебя петля буквы "Щ" размером такая же, как и буквы "У". Вот так и учатся иностранцы, да...

[thegirlygirl233]

спасибо!(thank you)

[Krestianin100]

У Русичей нет понятия "алфавит"! Есть понятие "Образарь"!

"Ас буквы ведает глаголя добро есмь есть!"

"Ас зело мудр устои творя продовые во Времени!"

"Ас живёт как Слово цельное снизошло и утвердилось повсеместно!"

Это био-матрица "фита" мужского и женского начал жизни на Земле: 7х7 =49 бу-кова с математически доказанной графикой.

Знал ли о том Кирилл или Методий с 44-х церковным алфавитом? Им показали 3-ю часть от 147 Буковъ ВсеяСветной Грамоты аки ученикам первогодкам. Слава Бълъгарам!

[GreshnikBAD]

@Krestianin100 не подскажешь кто такой Методий? Я то только Мефодия знаю

[hundehvalp22]

You forgot the 'J' !

[neckitas]

@hundehvalp22 don't you read the post script?

[dreamchaserJ]

Would someone be so kind to tell me the title of the song beginning at 0:37 please?

[Doggone456]

I'm seriously trying to learn Russian. Time to practice writing the Cryillic alphabet

[Imnothecrazyone]

does anyone else think the letter "F" looks like a bunch of balloons?

[EllaWolf111]

У нас сложный язык =)

[rusTORK]

@EllaWolf111 Особенно на уроках русского языка...

[adsayed]

my eyes are aching.......somebody stop that cont. autofocus camera!!!!!!!!!!

[bunny0187]

Very NIce handwriting! I wish I could write as good as you in russian because i have sloppy handwriting :( FAIL in the first comment :(

[bunny0187]

Very NIce handwriting! I wrote as good as you in russian because i have sloppy handwriting :(

[rusTORK]

@0Sarahx Wrong. Correct "Как называется песня?".

[Oliulhasan]

excellent song!! nice handwriting of a nice minded person..

[feanta1]

Испоганили письмо русского алфавита ((((

[aleko008]

@feanta1 чем это его испоганили, интересно??

[feanta1]

@aleko008 Техника написания букв стала некрасивой, дети быстрее писать не стали, как ожидали привводе этого новшества, даже тот кто пишет на ролике тоже ))))) мягко скажем пишет плохо и некрасиво ))) не обижайтесь, пожалйста, но со стороны это так и есть .

[aleko008]

@feanta1 О каком новшестве Вы говорите?

[feanta1]

@aleko008 ???? То написание букв, в Вашем ролике ввели в школы в 70 х годах, до него учили писать каллиграфичные буковки. Перьями. Пусть не все писали красиво , но большинство до сих пор имеет читаемый и красивый подчерк, в отличие от того написания что Вы предлагаете ,как русский алфавит.

[aleko008]

@feanta1 Ну извините, я не такой древний, чтобы писать перьевыми ручками. Да и почерк у меня пусть не идеальный, но и не самый страшный.

[rollercosterrr]

Lower case 3 in Russian cursive is the same as lower case Z in cursive English.

Спасибо, вспомнил как это было круто писать в школе

[Lilia1992]

What's the song used in this video? (apart from the pink panther theme tune)

[aleko008]

@Lilia1992 It's "What They Teach in School" (pretty famous here)

[Lilia1992]

@aleko008 Thank you!!

[Lyorie]

This was so useful! Thanks for doing this video.

Oh, and what are the titles of the songs you used?

[aleko008]

@Lyorie The first is The Pink Panther, the second "What They Teach in School" (pretty famous here)

[BBaudelaire]

Great handwriting, but I'm still giving my first steps when it comes to russian alphabet and russian language, hope I get used to it and be able to read texts in cyrillic form.

By the way, I watched your other video, I'm brazilian, I live in São Paulo, but I'm glad you came to Brazil and enjoyed it. Do you speak portuguese? Just a little? Hope you took nice pictures with your "câmera digital" :D

Tchau :)

[aleko008]

@BBaudelaire Obrigado pelo seu comentario. Gostei muito do Brasil. Falo portugues um pouco :-) I took tons of pictures from Brazil!

[gre2nfish]

Find me here grenfish.livejour__l.c__ Need little help? I learn English you learn Russian, why not try cooperate? Привет из Москвы.

[SomePinkGirl]

and the T

[aleko008]

@SomePinkGirl Don't you see the t??

[SomePinkGirl]

@aleko008 NO

[aFiRAbdel]

I like the music xD

[OlyaMizu]

hi! i'm from Russia. I'm sorry, but in this vdeo was omitted letter Й

[NinjaPutz]

your handwriting is gorgeous :)

[aleko008]

@NinjaPutz Thank you so much, I tried my best! )

[Pochkigena]

Thank you .... good suggestion ....haven't looked into satellite ..... I do find it helpful to watch films in Russina that also have subtitles in Russian .....

Thanks again.....John

[Pochkigena]

Thank you for kindly replying..My Russ is very limited ..Did O Level in 1972 .. self taught .. got top grade .. there was no technology then so I never heard REAL Russ..then forgot everything until I started some charity work in Ukraine in 2000..am going for last time this year ..will have to speak some Russ.. biggest problem = understanding spoken Russ..(Listening Comp)..I teach a tiny bit of Russ and am having a few lessons myself..Any advice on the List Comp problem? Thanks..John

[aleko008]

@Pochkigena I think you can only improve listening comprehension by listening) How about if you found some Russian satellite channels, and listened to them?

[Pochkigena]

Thank you for these two very interesting and helpful videos. John

[Pochkigena]

Like the second video better..letters are much simpler. Am only interested in clear, legible hadwriting .. I have struggled so many time times with fancy script ..Fortunately most of my stuff comes through by e-mail now .. Some of the alternatives I learnt back in the dark ages seem to have disappeared . the alternative written forms for them small Russian letters м and д ... and lines under м and ш. Any comments please??? The Russian teeagers that come here have very individualistic styles.

[aleko008]

@Pochkigena Reg. "Some of the alternatives I learnt back in the dark ages seem to have disappeared" yes, that seems to be so. The optional ways to write certain letters aren't there anymore, but you are right again when you say that teenagers have developed their variants... which are ugly if you ask me.

[Markodani1997]

00:36 What' s this music' s name?

[FernusTalks]

@Markodani1997 The song is "Учат в школе" / "uchat v shkole", it means teaching in school.

[Cuteyargon]

@FernusTalks thx^^

[818doodooroo]

i don't want to disrespect you but shouldn't the letter Д д "deh" be written this way not "Dg" im just learning by my own so i don't have anywhere to look for help but here.. tanks

[fattymetal]

This is rather informative... Thank you...

[ka4estvo]

All my life i've been writing russian, and I didn't think it was hard at all. Funny, really. Most men write ineligibly in russian, btw. Girls' handwriting is is really tidy usually. Don't really bother about writing right, we will understand you. And if you can't understand someone's writing - ask. We're used to that, 'cause we do it all the time. Well, people very often ask me what word i have written.

[5hape5ter]

2:25 pink panther!

[TheMrTwing]

Hehe... It is like they print in Propis (special exercise-book for 1 grade). Every each line and curve shown here. Very accurate video exept letters "Ф" and "ф". it's more useful when you start from upper cross of middle line then you write up-to-down left round element, then you write up-to-down middle line, then you write once more over middle till start point, then you write right round element. But actually nobody in real uses standard cursive. I'm Russian, sorry for my English.

[animerify]

For example, if you write word "Мишин" (it's a name) on cursive, nobody can read this :)

[tmylve3495]

what is the name of the song during the beging of the demonstration i was in russian i think

[milanielle]

@tmylve3495 Детские песни - Учат в школе (Children's songs - One's learning in school or Learn at school)

[mathew349]

Hey, hope you can reply to this. I saw some handwriting samples of Russian cursive, and technically they're not connected. Basically they were semi-connected, if you know what I mean. Like, others are connected while some aren't. Is it correct to write in that way?

[aleko008]

@mathew349 Connecting letters is the only correct way to write in Russian cursive.

[TheMrTwing]

@mathew349 We (here in Russia) have no formal standard cursive. This is why you can find texts written is very standart way or even completely unreadable things.

PS. You would be penalized at school if you didn't connect letters. Not connected letters in handwriting is a bad form. It really annoys.

[aleko008]

@TheMrTwing Oh, well, we do have standard cursive, take the Propis, for example. Another things is that not everyone sticks to it.

[Tigerchu2000]

Very nice. Very helpful.

[aidafication]

Да русский язык могучий язык,его намного труднее учить,чем английский

[TheFlav187]

@aidafication Ну ещё бы xD

[NimbleNoddy]

Oh just a question, is there no lower/upper case for Ъ, Ы and Ь?

[aleko008]

@NimbleNoddy Officially no, because there isn't a word that starts with those letters.

[vodkins75]

@aleko008

Incorrect. In Yakutiya (Sakha) and in other Siberian regions are some settlements which names starts with "Ы".

otvet.mail.ru/question/8883939­/

Ну и само восклицание "Ы!" как же? Может его нет официально, но в устной речи повсеместно:)

[aleko008]

@vodkins75 С каких это пор якутские названия стали исконно русскими?? И как же это Петр I не учел, что в 21 веке молодежи понадобится заглавная "ы" для их нового восклицания! )

[vodkins75]

@aleko008 При чём тут Пётр вообще? Хотите сказать что язык не должен развиваться веками? Ы - гласная буква и ничто не мешает слову начинаться с неё, в отличие от Ъ и Ь. Если восклицание есть и есть имена собственные на территории нашей страны - значит можно сказать что слова начинающиеся с этой буквы есть. Отрицать это - значит быть буквоедом. А я зык как известно живой организм, иначе бы до сих пор ятями писали.

[aleko008]

@vodkins75 Вопрос был - почему в видео нет Ы? Ответ - потому что в русском языке нет слов, на нее начинающихся. Все! И нечего усложнять простые вещи! Если в якутском есть - пусть пишут своей азбукой! End of story.

[vodkins75]

@aleko008 Так что по-якутски, что по-русски одинаково пишется:) Насчёт "End of story" - согласен!

[aleko008]

@vodkins75 :-)

[MyFearIsMyBlue]

@aleko008

попробуйте ка написать Операция "Ы"

[aleko008]

@MyFearIsMyBlue Блин, не могу, ручка не пишет большую букву "Ы"! :-)

[NimbleNoddy]

Thank you so much. This is very helpful for practice, I just do it along with you :)

[metallicakixtotalass]

Я начал учить русский, и это невероятно трудно узнать русского языка так много склонений. О алфавита, я хотел бы сказать, что это труднее английского языка, чтобы узнать, как звук "щ" или "ы", чем для русского языка, чтобы узнать звучать как "J" или "H." Надеюсь, что это имеет смысл, потому что я на самом деле должны были использовать Google для некоторых его. Привет из Америки! : D

[aleko008]

@metallicakixtotalass Yeah, probably you're right ). Also, Russian might appear to sound softer to an English speaker, because of the distinctive opposition of hard / soft (palatalised) consonants, so difficult to reproduce for non-native speakers, e.g. "рад" - "ряд" (soft "р" makes all the difference)... :)

[smoon02]

Меня огорчило, что мои буквы совсем не похожи на буквы в прописях

А твои очень

:D

Интересно, а учить русский труднее чем английский?

[PessimisticRealist]

Thank you! It's so hard to find a clear, informative video of the handwritten Russian alphabet.

Would you mind also making a video of the same thing but in print rather than cursive/do you know a good way of learning it? Or will I be fine if I just copy what I see in text?

[aleko008]

@PessimisticRealist Frankly, I print Russian letters badly. Russian printed letters are rarely used, mainly on things like handwritten price tags etc. The best printed Russian letters I ever saw were in fact written by a person from USA 0)))). Apparently, learning to print beautifully was easier for her than handle the cursive ))) If you copy what you see in text, that'll be fine, I guess.

[PessimisticRealist]

@aleko008 Thanks for replying so quickly. Alright, I'll just copy what I see.

[metallicakixtotalass]

Wow, you have ridiculously good handwriting haha, like the kind they put in those handwriting textbooks for kids. I wish I could write that well; you a native speaker or just someone who practiced a lot?

[gwgoldb]

The video doesn't show the "overbarring" of the т and "underbarring" of the м and ш used to distinguish between one another, especially in lower case

In reply to yojoe576, the creators of the Cyrillic alphabet used the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew (for the ц, ш, щ) alphabets.

[aleko008]

@gwgoldb "overbarring" and "underbarring" are used by those who cannot differentiarte their t's and m's in writing. I can do that, as you see ;-). Besides, that style is used only by old grannies, and is old-fashioned 0))))

[widmaer091]

what is that song called

[rishtar145]

i like the song!!! Please the name?

[girlovecupcake]

Love this! Saved it in my favorite as a reference :)

[aleko008]

@girlovecupcake Thankk you! )

[yojoe576]

is the russian alphabeet like the english in any way?

[aleko008]

@yojoe576 Well, some letters are similar, some are exclusively Cyrillic/Russian.

[yojoe576]

@aleko008 oh ya thanks

[shogi4fun]

Very much thanks for it.

Maybe can you also make a video about how to write "book-letters", please?

For example, write "Ж" with this strokes "> | <" or with this "\ | /" or how else?

[helleden1]

These words looks like words written by very young student (7-8 years)

:)

[MrsLileboo]

your writing is spectacular. I just love it

[SrOrigami]

2:20 the pink panter song xD

[BGSlopy]

The cyrilic is not even russian its bulgarian - based on glagolica (a buzantinian graphica sys). Developed by bulgarinas in the 8 century .The russians borowed it from us (probably when kniaz Svetoslav invaded Bulgaria ) . Later Peter I of Russia made the "civil aphabet" reformation which gave the looks of modern cyrilic.

[sjc0108]

谢谢！太好了！danke, sehr gut!

[phichya]

Thank you :D

[JorgeSkychaser]

thank you, it helped a lot!

[kishorekumarbairi]

what is the first song? I don't understand but. Its awesome!!

[Resennme]

Okay so yea umm i want to learn russian i can write romanian and speak words in romanian but im thinking of learning russian bc imight go visit russian sometime and I need someone to teach me how to write in russian and speak in russian. So if anyone want to talk to me send me a message i really need help. I can write the alpabet but i jsut want to learn how to write in russian. Mersi!!!!!!!!

[BlazerNB]

He left the letter Й й ))

[HiBissKuss]

Is the Russian T always written like that? Awesome!

[ilvonful]

its ALMOST the same as bulgrian alphabet

[BlazerNB]

We are  kindred nations and have related languages ))

[dimax997]

@ilvonful Cause it's Cyrillic, so it's derived from it.

[charlottesophia]

Very nice. Wasn't expecting the Pink Panther theme though...

[fernando1472]

Awesome JOB!!!

[aleko008]

Thank you! )

[ConsalvoFerrante]

Interesante, las letras cirílicas en cursiva se ven bien chingonas.

[galaaan]

@ConsalvoFerrante ¡Ésa es la actitud!

[yinyin80124]

where is "й"??

[DragonInk101]

its the one that is next to the letter that looks like: o....its before the O

[sectoiddreamer]

Of course nobody uses cursive, just kids ))) Or used very simplified cursive.

[Pugzlee08]

im learning russian :)

its such an awesome langage

[jadenbane]

Wonderful! This is exactly what I needed to see. I'm brushing up on my Russian handwriting, since I'm headed to MOCKBA in a couple weeks.

This is much better than just looking at the diagrams in my textbook.

[Koukai7]

Russian is so beautiful~ I wish i could write it so nicely

[robotwarsfan03]

also who was the singern of Uchat v shkole?

[aleko008]

@robotwarsfan03 the singer is Eduard Khil (Эдуард Хиль)

[ValeV1010]

this alphabet is waaaay too difficult for me! hahahah

I'm trying to learn russian but I can't really write those letters and I've been trying to find some tutorial that helps me a little on how to write them but I don't understand any of them! although this helped me a lot! :) ;)

hey is it easier to learn to write in cursive? well, is it better?

please someone help me!

[Ladida555]

for me i printed out a alphabet and tried to read stuff with it an when i didn't know a letter id look at my alphabet until i knew it, for me this was the easiest part! lol, I don't know if that way works for everybody but its worth a shot!

[truegwbfan]

vok vos zu vut???

[robotwarsfan03]

also, is it bad to write it in blocks? because, in English, I never write cursive

and lastly. my M's look too much like my i's and l's in Russian? can anyone give me any tips on it?

[robotwarsfan03]

Can someone clarify this plz?:

The letter "e" means ye? How come sometimes it's in a word and is only an e?!

Is it always a ye or can it depend on where it's positioned in the words?

[palkoy]

ye if stressed

eh if follows hard consonants

ee if follows soft consonants

[djdaedulus]

the two dots over the "E" in german language are called umlauts (oom-lao)

[immortalx50]

yes, Е sounds like "ye" in English or "je" in German and Scandinavian languages and Ё sounds like "yo" or "jö"

[kaizerzydeco]

Russian in longhand is arguably the most beautiful of alphabets. We learnt using a fountain pen and they were very strict about how the letters looked. Cursive Russian should flow smoothly from the pen; using a ballpoint defeats this.

[EvanJBest]

This was very helpful! I taught myself Russian (with the addition of my French teacher) but she never taught me cursive, she only told me that Russian students are taught cursive in first grade then always use that, rarely ever block lettering. But beside that, awesome video

[robotwarsfan03]

cool, what's the first Russian song called?

[vologamid]

Учат в школе. :)

[ilbill220]

Does anyone know if there are different styles of cursive writing in Russian, like there are in English? I, personally, only have heard of one, and it's not this one. I will probably start writing in this one though, only because I think the capital 'A' looks awesome. =)

[ZealotIlya]

Author's handwriting is a standard cursive, which is taught at schools. Children are taught by first grade how to write using standard form of cursive. Until middle school teachers watch over pupils' handwriting to ensure its compliance with that standard. But with the beginning of middle school you can write as you like (as long as you writing is readable). So, by the end of school most of pupils develop "deviations" in their cursive, or even completely another form.

[ilbill220]

@ZealotIlya Oh, I see. So is this 'standard "Author's handwriting"'?

[davidwebb192]

i must be getting good at russian, because i noticed the omission before it was mentioned. go me!

[aleko008]

Congrats on that! ) Keep practicing!

[joydivisionfanboy]

I am learning Russian and this is really helpful! Handwritten Cyrillic script is confusing for me!

[Nimiic]

What is the name of the first song please? :)

[aleko008]

It's "Чему учат в школе?" or "What do they teach in school?"

[Nimiic]

Большое спасибо! :D

[skeptikulo]

Why make that break sign between the «а» and the «л» in the word «алфабит»?

[aleko008]

That isn't any sort of sign. That is the only way to connect those two letters when they are in cursive. Only small children who learn to write can sometimes connect the "а" and "л" without the "sign".

[stopgenocideingaznow]

Hey its a good video, i found a similar one and am lerning with it /watch?v=KSVVErI-5uA here nothing is missing... your work is also very well! and helpfull... please i did search a lot and found nothing... can you do a video where you use all the letters and stick them together so tht we see how to do it properly? until now i stick some ltters together with fantasy ... i dont know if i do it correct because there is nothing to find about it... thank you anyways ... great job :)

[1rozafa1]

x  D

[CARDRAYoCOM]

skipped "Йй" :D

[aleko008]

I did ))) sorry!

[gammondog]

Excellent demonstration. Thanks for the refresher coarse. When I studied russian in the 1980's,we used the cursive hand exclusively. When we took tests or handed in home work penmenship was also corrected by the instructor. I suppose its a different world now!

[aleko008]

I'm glad that video was of some use. We here use exclusively cursive writing, almost never printed letters.

[CocotheNut]

Taking 401 right now with a professor who's a native speaker, we're not allowed to write in anything but cursive! I got the impression that was the norm? Or maybe not?

The cursive letters are harder to keep straight, it's kind of like learning to drive on a standard...

[aleko008]

what's 401?

[CocotheNut]

An intro course :) In the U.S. (and maybe other places? not sure) college courses start at the "400-level," then move on to 500, 600, 700, etc. as study advances. So first-year Russian is 401 & 402, and the third semester would be 503.

[aleko008]

I see. So yes, very rarely do we write in block letters, usually in cursive. )
