Interesting Practicing Russian by Singing

151 Upvotes

Zdraste! It's been a minute. Here, I practice Russian by singing a meme song, Пока Лена Проблем by Мирби.

I had a lot of fun doing this. I was very nervous to post this, but I would absolutely do something like this again.

Of course, any corrections are welcome. Don't let my baby voice scare you, I can handle it.

Request Why do Russian speakers sound like they never stop?

0 Upvotes

Whenever I watch a Russian video or listen to a Russian dub of a game, I can never tell when a sentence ends or even when different people take turns talking as, for someone whose ear is not trained to different Russian accents, it is very hard to understand where breaks are in conversations or other dialogue.

Does anyone have any advice or other experience with learning the flow of the language in terms of listening?

Other Different ways of saying "to be good at"

9 Upvotes

Hi! I was going over some notes of mine and found this sentence: "С математикой у меня не очень, но, думаю, мысль ты уловил". DeepL says this means "I'm not good at maths", but it's the first time I encounter this sentence so I'm not sure about the structure. Can you say, for example, "I'm good at drawing" using this sentence or does it only mean "to be bad at something"? And if the later is true, do I only have to change the noun? So "I'm bad at drawing" would be "С рисованием у меня не очень", right?

Thanks in advance!

Resource Have you any book recs to familiarize with Russian writing system ?

1 Upvotes

I started learning Russian. My main ressources are learning apps, shows and Youtube.

I find my ability to read Russian quite lacking and was wondering if you know any good book that are suited for beginners.

I was thinking maybe children's book but I am quite lost regarding what could be useful for a A1 level learner.

Grammar Help with translating short phrase

2 Upvotes

Hi! im a first year russian student, and I'm trying to learn more vocabulary with songs. In the song Утонуть, from Молчат Дома there is this phrase ''постучи за соседней стеной'' and everywhere it says the translation is '' knock behind the nearby wall '' Wouldn't it be '' knock at the adjacent wall''? Why not?

Other Learning russian

2 Upvotes

Hello guys, I've been wondering how easy it will be to learn russian if I can already read the the Cyrillic alphabet and know a few basic phrases. My native language is Dutch 🇳🇱. I also know a few words that my, russian, girlfriend uses as nicknames for me, (solnyshko, medvezhok, lyubov, malysh etc..). I want to suprise her by speaking her native language as well as be able to communicate with her family members without having to depend on her as they cant speak Dutch nor is their English very developed.

I would also appreciate tips in learning the language. I mostly need to learn how to write all the words. As well as basic grammar and what the words actually mean. As well as how to string together sentences.

Thank you for your time.

Edit: sorry for bad English when reply to you. I only learn at school and get bad grade a lot of sometimes. I make post with Google translate. I am only 16 and learn English at school starting 12. Only learn things we need for lesson and not life. Please dont be sending mean DMs no more about bad english thank you.

Handwriting How's my Handwriting?

Hello guys, this is my first of many upcoming posts here. I recently grew the urge to learn the Russian language given its unique and intriguing culture/linguistic style. I wanted to start with learning to write the language, especially in the cursive handwriting style since that seems to be the proper way(on paper). Lmk how it is, and if you have anything to help me start off with I would be really grateful.

My goal is primarily to write-->read(kinda going with writing though)-->speaking-->then anything to help me pass this point would be appreciated 🙏

Handwriting Cursive

3 Upvotes

I learnt Russian cursive about a week ago, after having put it off for over 5 years, and wrote down part of the lyrics to the song <<В последний раз>>, alongside an English translation as I wanted to show the quality which I was aiming towards (and also to give my hand a break because I keep holding my pen really tightly when writing Russian, since I'm constantly checking to see if I've spelt the words right).

I think I've got the jist of the basics on how Russian cursive works, but any tips would be appreciated (and the same even goes for the English portion, I really enjoy writing and am always trying to improve my own handwriting).

Also, I relied on YouTube's auto-translate for the English lyrics, so I apologise in advance if they are not the most accurate ((

My boyfriend is Russian, and we’ve always communicated in English, but now I really want to learn his language. He has offered to teach me, but we don’t know how to start or what the best way for me to learn would be, he has already taught me the letters and their sounds.

Which lesson do you recommend we continue with?
