Learn Russian Lesson 1 - Part III - Babel Yak

[0oNikiri0o]

wow... starting to get difficult!

[ElSpewtardo]

"No ja nemnogo govorju po-russki" that's quite a mouthful if you try to say it fast

[ElSpewtardo]

sounds like he is saying "nyep"

[daspense]

Now to master the cyrillic alphabet... IM GOING TO BLOW MY BRAINS OUT.

[TheDarkNeko27]

the word for speak kinda sounds like go-are-you. to me anyway.

[kmeagang]

net sounds like nep

nemnogo sounds like neemenogoa

po-russki sounds like po-russkia

am I wrong?

[andypmz07]

I can't remember the first lesson!!! Damn my memory sucks... 

[nichya11]

the "i speak" part is the hardest to pronounce :( i can't pronounce "govorju" :(

[genrelguner2]

@nichya11 Dude start with saying goverment and cut of ment and then say you

[FMAfangirl88]

How do I subscribe????

[john314luvr]

7:27 typo.

[john314luvr]

it says ponimaju and not govorju

[FMAfangirl88]

I had just a bit of trouble with the last part though. xD gonna re-watch!

[FMAfangirl88]

These lessons are amazing! They go at just the right speed for beginners and break things down into individual words. Great Job!

[iurikorolev]

Why are these lessons slow as a turtle ?

[VNKillschinks]

@iurikorolev Dude, have you ever used Primsler's CD's? They speak fast like crazy, so be appreciative of what you have.

[iurikorolev]

@VNKillschinks

Dear, I'm appreciating it....

But I think in 10 minutes we could learn a bit more ...

До свидания !

[VNKillschinks]

@iurikorolev OK, I understand.

Hey, are you a Brazilian living in Russia?

[loveposey28]

why does no sound like "nyep" but you say "net?

[KoraLynnS]

Why does Nyet (No) sound like Nyep?

[mothership4eva]

Thank you! This is way better than any of the other Russian lessons! It's my mission to do a total of exactly 1 lesson a night!

[layloabdurahmonova]

why does it have to be miss?And doesn't HO sound like HY

[layloabdurahmonova]

why does it have to be miss?

[layloabdurahmonova]

wow I fell smart already! LOL

[510sarahb445]

[ra2oush33]

[Wonocva15]

@Kiatsune

"Nein" is German for No.

[knookjes1]

no sounds like the frensh word non wich also means no

[Kiatsune]

@myk09star ^^; thanks for clearing that up :)

[Kiatsune]

I thought the Russian word for no was supposed to be pronounced as nine o.o

[Rio797]

@Kiatsune You're thinking of the German word "Nein"

[alottarock]

Anyone noticed how he says out loud "govorju" while the text reads "ponimaju" at 7:25?

[DrPepzilla]

@alottarock I was thrown off there. Did they screw up when writing the translations??

[russianpushkin2]

/watch?v=jlI9Lx032pU вот другое видео по моему вы будете понимать

[osda24]

It's just like he explains. "Yet" sound but with a "N" sound at the beginning, "Nyet"

[hoghash78]

No....is "nyep" I thought it was "nyet" What´s right ?

[DitIsGeo]

@hoghash78 nyet

[MrTrojanwarrior241]

@hoghash78 niet

[hoghash78]

@MrTrojanwarrior241 Here in Germany, it sounds like the Russians say nee et  or nyet

[MrTrojanwarrior241]

@hoghash78 oh ur german their accent is tight

[TheElinor666]

I am Bulgarian and its sooo easy for me!if someone wants to learn how to say : i love Russia'' in bulgarian : аз обичам Росия! : az obicham Rosiya!

[marioalbertok]

thats kinda hard

[bobthehobo1000]

@marioalbertok 0-0  perv

[vevazoka]

нет ја говорю по-српски.

So for me learning russian language is peace of cake :)

[akmaru]

@MegaPMeta uhm my tongue has a life of its own

[zerocooljpn]

the text at 7:27 is wrong... He's saying "speaking"(govorju) not "understanding"(ponimaju).

Anyone else surprised when he said the nemnogo? I laughed my ass off (as a sign of complete un-understading^^)

[MrAndreyNikolaevich]

help... if you were to say "from russia with love".... whats the difference between "Из России с любовью" and " от Россия с влюбленностью"? is one more correct than the other?

[yeaimmaboss]

@MrAndreyNikolaevich The first one is correct.

[Lietuva21]

also when the guy says "net ja ponimaju" that actually means no i understand.and he was trying to say no i dont understand u would then say "net ja neponimaju"

[Lietuva21]

yh but it is easy for me cuz i know polish,lithuanian and i have a russian dad soo dont brag about it cuz it aint nice

[Chopiavivo]

the NO russian word u have to say it at a spanish form,it was easy for me because i know spanish!

[akmaru]

the "a little" is much harder :(

[MegaPMetal]

@akmaru what is so hard abput nemnogo

[manofmanyfish1990]

CORRECTION. RUSSIAN IS WRITTIN AS FOLLOWS "Русский"

[lollipoppergirl]

the manly russian speaky guy sounds like he'd rather be anywhere else. i feel like i'm bothering him by watching this /).(\

[yaycookies14]

the letter Ю is called "yoo" and makes that sound yoo like in english the word "you" and is used alot in russian and mostly seen in the end of the word

[Blas3nik]

at 7:24 it says я говорю по-английсуки... the text is wrong there!

[manofmanyfish1990]

@Blas3nik yes the text is wrong here. "I speak" should be written as "Я Говорю" and pronounced as "guh-vuhr-you." These videos help, but this guy needs to get his grammer fixed, because, russian is a very formal language, and if you don't have even close to perfect grammer, you will be made to look like a fool.

[Zelcibot]

why learn to say "i speak russian" when we obviously suck at it?

[300warrior300]

@Zelcibot they admit it is inappropriate

[Kori0129]

Why he says "njep" ? Isn't it supposed to be "njet" ?

[manofmanyfish1990]

@Kori0129 it is Neit, Нет

[venomscarletspider]

i feel like im in special ed but this method really helps you out

[TRYME834]

About the Cyrillic part, is the " ju " part of govorju, ponimaju, and every other russian word with ju in it always written as ю or Ю?

[PirateXzibit]

@TRYME834 Юp

[2Mazed]

what does po in po-russki or po-angliski mean?

[LaQuishmia]

@2Mazed I think, technically, it means "in". Like, "in english, in russian", but when you translate it to eng., you dont say "I speak in English," cuz it sounds wierd. :P

[7788152z]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[lukeluke9494]

at 7:28 he say ja gavarju instead of ja ponimaju it's a mistake

[TRYME834]

I'm having trouble with the word speak but my uncle knows Russian so he can help me pronounce it

[SpaceGhost2047]

I would like to thank everyone on this page for the hints tips and comments! I struggled for a sec on how to pronounce the Russian verb "I speak" because of the digital speaker made things sounds kinda faded.

[unscenebitch]

can you fix 6:01 you kinda put Het as both English and Russian

[fishandchips8956]

kinda hard to say "speak" haha i'll learn xDhahaha

[Avsfanftw]

@fishandchips8956

Haha everything else was pretty easy so far it took me a bit longer for that xD

[RadiantStudios]

Lol, the native speaker is saying "No, but speak english" while the text is displaying "No, but i understand english"... but still good content.. i know most all of this stuff.. but its a great refresher for me.. as its been a while since I've been in Russia.. :/

[GaaraHidesInMyCloset]

I already knew quite a bit of what it said, the guy sounds mad when he says nyet XD

[INFOf1nder]

sure, i can help, what is interest you?

[finalway555]

Whomever made these lesson he's rock's

Your awesome man!

[sanjak]

niet or niep? sounds like the latter to me

[INFOf1nder]

я (ja or ya)=i'm, да(da)=yes, нет(niet)=no, спасибо(spasibo)=thanks and etc. i can help if somebody needed =)

[47Sukhoi]

thanks for this nice tip :)

[DruidFire505]

You Said In A Video That You Can Help People With Russian, I Was wounding If You Could Help Me?

[dork5Rus5]

thanks for the little hints :D

[INFOf1nder]

А а Б б В в Г г Д д Е е Ё ё Ж ж З з И и Й й К к Л л М м Н н О о П п Р р С с Т т У у Ф ф Х х Ц ц Ч ч Ш ш Щ щ ь Ы ы ъ Э э Ю ю Я я

[HullioProductions]

No is more like Nyet.

[shonshrinks]

LOL THE NIET in youre video sounds like NIEP :|

[jorgelchacon]

there is a mistake in the sound of 7:47

[xtayloveex]

i keep hearing yoa or something instead of ya for ja.....

[DealWithItNews]

i may be wrong but i think the guy said 'ja govarju' when the screen read 'ja ponimaete'

[DarkWitchArizona]

is it me or did the english "no" and cyrillic "net" swap places at some point O.o

[efekiymaz]

jusst one question though its niet but itis written "net" i mean shuldnt it be like the letter cyrillic Hthen opposite n and then et????

[Thunk00]

Nope, the Russian letter Е implies a "je" sound. When the vowel is shortened, it actually sounds more like "j" or "i" than "e". For a simple "e" sound, the letter is Э. Similar pairs are Ю and У, Я and А, Й and И, and Ё and О.

[Elinito]

I hear "njep"

[DaFistPs3Dude4LIFE]

lol elinito get a new head phone... for hearing well get a headset not speakers...

[Elinito]

I know it's supposed to be "njet" but on the recording I hear "njep".. Can't help what I hear, you know ;)

[kebabqueen17]

@Elinito same here....:/

[MightyGoldenBoy]

@Elinito I think it can be a gust of air from his mouth distorting it :P

[7788152z]

@Elinito

[reyper09]

@Elinito i am albanian and for me is easier learning russian than for you americans cuz we have dhe zh and nj that is used much in russian and i hear he says het or njet

[PirateXzibit]

@BjrnGames I hope you're sarcastic

[amerzvecan]

@Elinito me 2 xD

[magiles0]

Too fast, but still a quality piece of work.

[YUMMYngbird]

compared to the first to parts, this one's much to fast.

[tk592]

It was good but it doesn't seem like it starts off right where it left off in part 2.

[osamalet]

I hear NYET, too

[AvrilWearsThePants]

Spaseeba! This helps a lot!

[DelijaFromCp6uja]

You can learn and serbian with these ! :))))

[larisarubia]

a bit of all slavic languages...

[nvm0]

ja gavarju? I thought it was "ja gavarim"

[aabbssllaa]

I think something went missing between end of part II and begin of part III

[s3b123]

at 7:23 the native speaker says: "net, no ja gavarju pa-anglijski" instead of "net, no ja panimaju pa-anglijski". and in 7:36 he completely forget to say "no": "net, ja gavarju pa-anglijski" :O

[punkmonkey12]

the speaker says it right, its no, but i speak (gavarju) english and not understand (panimaju)

[sickkid380]

isn't nemnogo is more like not alot, oppose to alittle, cause i though a little was malo? or maybe i'm way off.

[Sagiscan9999]

sickkid380 you right

[lyonsd1875]

nemnogo -is he saying "nyemnyogah" ?

[AvrilWearsThePants]

Yes, hes saying nemnogah. the o is pronnounced with an ah sound.

[marfg12345]

that means i can't

[Elinito]

no = nyet

yes = da

it's that easy. The "russian-speaker-guy" is pronouncing it wrong. :)

[fIvndy]

lol

[Elinito]

what's funny?

[miMITombRaiderFreak]

he says nyeP o_O

[fIvndy]

na, he says nyet. He says it sounds like net, so they are saying it like nyet

[animak110]

yes , he says "Nyet"

[sigurdaab]

I hear NYET.

[ender2reynolds]

I only got one question about the lesson.

When explaining how to say "I dont understand Russian/ Ja ne ponimaju po-russki" you dont cover the word "NE"

I assume NE is Dont? Is that right guys?

Thanks a lot, great material.

[Altavarelle]

Im only learning myself but i beleive Ne is a negation of a statment, kinda like in french where you have ne.. pas

[papasitoman]

Is he saying NEYP or Neyt?? I swear I am hearing a "P"

[ender2reynolds]

Depends on who is hearing. Before I read your commentary I was hearing NYET, after I read it, I heard NYEP.

[meishmeal453]

I keep hearing NEYP too, so yea I can understand what you're talking about. I don't hear a "t" at the end at all.

[fizzypepsi]

Does he have a strange accent or is that how a lot of people pronounce the word for "no"? I have always pronounced it as "nyet."

[XpolymerX]

German and Russian use two different alphabets, they are as similar as a hot dog and a rock. This is a very interesting language though

[badmofker]

pretty good teaching method.. despite making my head ache a little, i have learned quite a few pro nouns etc without even thinking about it. I reckon I will need to watch quite a few times before I can say it all without thinking about it. Thanks Babelyak!

[seethepatterns]

These lessons are useful as hell, don't get me wrong, but it's funny how they start you off with learning how to say "I speak Russian" and "I understand". You'd think these terms would come last.

[fynneusofia]

i agree. i've been learning with the Pimsleur system in my car and its almost the same as this. although i have learned a lot in a short time. enough that a Russian friend of mine was pretty surprised/impressed. it is funny though:)

[ightly]

best language teaching vid i've seen.

russian is a great language and i also like the country. for me as a german its almost necessary to learn russian...or rather turkish

but very good job with the video!!!

[seethepatterns]

Are German and Turkish similar to Russian? Or rather, are German, Turkish and Russian all similar to each other?

[ightly]

The three languages aren't similar in any way . The comment was meant a bit jokingly, because of the turkish and russian immigrants living in Germany, especially in the area where i'm living. But anyway i don't say this is bad and im not a nazi, but sometimes it'd be really useful to speak turkish in germany^^.

[erdekes11]

Why is it "almost necessary" to learn Russian for you ? I can understand why you think it is "almost necessary " to learn Turkish, I imagine it is because of the huge influx of Turkish migrants into your country, but why you feel a pressure to learn Russian is not so clear to me. This is a genuine question.

[SudnDeath187]

there's a mistake in video, the slide doesn't match the voice teaching. It asks to say "No, But I speak English" (but the text and translation is for the word understand/"ponimaju," not speak/govorju."

[pophood99]

very good ... thank you its help

[JBnut]

Great Stuff, but at the beginning you reference a section of a lesson that wasn't heard between the end Part II and the beginning of Part III, which was a tad confusing at first.

Great though
