70% of Russians own THESE (and I got to visit one)
This past week was Victory Day here in Russia, where the entire country celebrates the victory of the Soviet Union over the German army in WW2. But this video isn't about that holiday, but about what I got invited to DO during it! I was invited by a friend I made here this last year to visit her Dacha, a heatless, AC-less second home with no electricity or running water that 70% of Russians have. In a country with a relatively low income level, how and why do the majority of Russians have these random second countryside homes? I went myself to check out in person just what the heck exactly is a Dacha? And why do they use them and love them so much?

This ENTIRE CITY Was Preserved For One Unknown Poet
zhlédnutí 450Před rokem
This is the one Unknown Poet You NEED to Hear About. Peasant poet Sergei Yesenin (Сергей Александрович Есенин) was born in to two serf parents who had to leave him in his small country residence as a child in search for work in 1895. During his life this simple child of traveling peasant farmers exploded in popularity, travelled the world, experienced 4 last-minute marriages and was a counter-r...
This Village Hasn't Changed in 300 Years: Suzdal, Russia is UNBELIEVABLE
zhlédnutí 2,9KPřed rokem
Suzdal was first mentioned in the ancient records of Ruthenia in 999 and always been slow to change. For this traveller, that's actually quite a compliment. Most cities in Russia (Like Vladimir or Ryazan from last week's video) have a mixture of really cool ancient things next to horribly depressing panel house architecture and some modernish cool designs. But Suzdal is truly a time capsule. Th...

These are all videos I got to film last year at Easter Time after I got an invite from my friend to celebrate the holiday with her family in a smaller Russian town called Ryazan!

Vladimir, the former capital of medieval Ruthenia, is one of the must see one-day trips from Moscow for anyone who is a fan of antiquity. With no fewer than 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites all within walking distance, you can see a time of the world that in so many ways feels unchanged from when Mongolian hordes ravaged the lands. From the Dormition Cathedral (c. 1160) with original Andrey Rublev...

Visiting Homes of Russian Counter-Culture Icons
zhlédnutí 450Před rokem
I've gotten to see a lot of really cool things since I got stuck in Russia last year: palaces, cathedrals and the insane nature of distant republics. I even got to check out some small towns along the way. But this week I finally got to go back to Moscow to see something that inspired me long before I ever came here. Moscow is famous for its cultural history. Some of the greatest writers, paint...
This Former Closed City is Moscow Region's Best Hidden Gem

Moscow is beautiful, vibrant and the youth capital of this massive country... but it's not all it's cracked up to be. It can sometimes be *too* active.

If You Only Have a Weekend in Moscow for Christmas...

Moscow during the winter used to illicit the image of an army marching back in the frozen wasteland, defeated, and freezing to death. But since I've spent two winter holiday's in Russia at this point I've come to see a much different capital than I had in my mind before I came here.

    Technically Suzdal is a town. A village tends to carry a population of up to 5000 residents, Suzdal has a population of around 10,000 residents making it a small town.

    I bought this a looooong time ago, but it's definitely not a book you want to buy /alone/ as the only textbook you learn from. Also... it took me like... weeks to really "get" the kana. Idk, maybe it's the autism/adhd. Maybe it's because I'm just SO accustomed to latin-bet langs lol but yeah, the book's pretty useful.

    Not sure if this is still going on but old video from 10 years ago japanese adults were hunting illigaly with bow&arrows made by old people who been tought to make then since samurai were around and sold then gave them awal to tight nit closed communitys where ppl could keep a secret but these days guy probably dead and fear of getting caught snitched on is high that japanese expression the nail that sticks out gets the hammer. I think pppl too afraid to even try because yeas its easier to go to 24/7 store or order food online play fortnight dont get hammered cause Japan is fucked up my opinion it's a tourist dream nothing to be an Otaku nerr out spend money hsve fun then go home.

    There are many Chinese kanji that don't map across to Japanese. For example, trying to draw "縁" always comes out as "綠"; there is no option for "縁". Another commenter noted that "継" becomes "繼". This is unacceptable for drawing Japanese kanji. So how do Japanese people draw kanji on their iPhone?

    I bought this dictionary 25 years ago and I still use it. The SKIP method to look for a kanji is so convenient and easy to use ! Core meaning key words are so useful to remember the meaning of each character. This is, by far, the best kanji dictionary for learners ever !

  • @OKOKOKOKOKOKOK-zn2fy
    @OKOKOKOKOKOKOK-zn2fy Před 3 měsíci

    To do list for reading Japanese: 1. Learn Hiragana and Katakana. 2. Memorize the first 2000 words on the Anki Japanese vocab list. ( These will be the 2000 most frequently used words in Japanese. That's about 90% of spoken Japanese. 🙂) 3. Learn the first 400 Kanji in James Hessig's book. ( This will be all of the radicals, fragments, and the most frequently used Kanji. ) Starting with a solid base in this material will make reading much easier. The Manga will have furigana to help you with the readings. Six words a day will get you to 2000 words in a year. You should go much faster than that. One Kanji a day will get you 365 in a year. You should go much faster than that too. It won't happen over night. It will happen if you keep at it.
