RL102 - 4/1 Basic Russian grammar lesson 4 part one

We increase the number of 1a conjugation verbs and simple adverbs, enabling a larger number of simple sentences without direct objects (coming soon) to be made. There is an exercise here which should be done as well as you can and the answers are in the second part of the lesson, which is in a separate video which I will be posting in a few days after I have finished the subtitling, which is actually fairly time-consuming. In addition you should try to use the new vocabulary, in conjunction with the vocabulary from earlier lessons, to make as many sentences as possible - even if sentences made just for grammar practice can be a bit silly at times!

The link to the new discussion group announced in the video is

http://groups.google.com/group/huliganov

Quite a few people have been writing me longer emails, and receiving longer answers. On the one hand this is delightful, but on the other, I am writing always in these cases to one person what could be useful to a number of people. That's why I urge all of you, unless you are really too shy, to ask the questions on that group. The YouTube group for these videos still exists and will be a place for us to post up videos relevant to Russian learning in one place, but it is impossible to discuss there with the 500 character limit, and the unhelpful threading of discussions.

I hope none of foreigners studies Russian through this guy's courses otherwise I pity them, and I'm not talking about the guy's pronunciation but about the silly mistakes he makes. Go to 2.56 where he made two mistakes in a row (Слово "мало переводится как "little/few" (в зависимости от существительного) и оно негативное, "учитель" же перевел мало как "not very much" и "a little", что означает "не так много" и "немного", и это уже положительное слово, обозначающее наличие чего-либо).

@Thony1980 Pointless criticism. In any event more "of foreigners" have learned Russian from my course, which by the way is humour and entertainment, a fact which has flown over your Aspergers-riddled head, than have learned it from yours. So get your ass out of my comments sections.

@usenetposts -- Hey! Don't insult "Asperger's" types by calling this guy one! He's more likely suffering from some kind of perverse nationalist sentiment, plus general immaturity and a low level of contemplative thought. (If he wanted to help students of Russian, he might have pointed out the errors in a constructive and organized manner -- and if he were capable and interested enough in the issue, he might bless us with some quality vids by a native speaker...).

@baiNEKO Well, I was trying to allow some excuse for him, rather than insult any other people. People simply don't realise that doing a course like this needs quite a bit of time and energy, and it isn't as easy as they think it is. If it were I'd have done about 400 of them and not just about 40.

[baiNEKO]

@Thony1980 -- Hi, can you point those errors out in a constructive way, that will help us students?  How can we learn from them, and how about some examples of how to use the terms properly in native-constructed sentences? Can I check my example sentences with you? Thanks

[usenetposts]

@baiNEKO Heh heh. I can just see him doing that.

Your lessons are so interesting that I can only stop when my eyes start to hurt from the computer screen.

@aldimaster1 Please work on having any English at all. Or any films at all, for that matter. Then come and criticise me.
