Daria, thanks for the two conversations with you. Language teachers, those that focus on making it fun, and motivating their learners, like you do, are valuable members of a growing interconnected international community. Best of luck to you.
You are great, Mr. Kaufmann! As a fellow polyglot, I 100% AGREE with your method. Essentially just "DO IT", don't worry about how you do it, just ENJOY the process. I have subscribed to your channel, cheers mate!
Thank you for your incredible tips in learning ANY language, I’m learning intensively English right now and my next goal is Spanish, but I didn’t know how to bring myself to it. You are amazing!
My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
Daria is great. Her slow Russian vlogs were the first comprehensible input I could understand. That was almost three years ago. Since then, my Russian has improved immensely, I've made friendships with Russian speakers, and even spent last summer traveling around eastern Ukraine talking with local Russian speakers. I continue to study. I work with a tutor online several times a week. Most of the Russian material I watch now is just regular Russian language material, like the news etc. but I still watch Daria's material because it's fun and interesting. Good luck everyone. Russian is great and it can be learned!
@@lindseyzeigler4678 Как насчет языкового обмена? Если Вы заинтересованы, то мои контакты в описании моего профиля. Мой уровень английского pre-intermediate примерно.
Во первых, спасибо, Дарья! Наверное не поверите но 5 лет назад я начал учить русский именно здесь) мой первый шаг с Real Russian Club и мне очень приятно) Во вторых, прекрасный интервью!! Steve Kauffman он действительно классный мужик! Сейчас я учусь китайский и как всегда он вдохновляет меня. Быть позитивным и вкладывать страсть в то, что вы делаете - вот что является ключом, как вы сказали. Не нужно ни с кем конкурировать. Только желание и любовь познавать и улучшить себя.. шаг за шагом.
@@GSpandy , ну он написал вполне логично "учу себя", ибо "учу" переходной глагол. другое дело, что узус (любой, не только русский) плевать хотел на логику, и нелогичные языковые парадигмы -- "наше всё".
part of the just listening process I went through with learning Russian, ( still basic), is figuring out the tempo and listening for word separations and syllables. also listening to how some of the more complex sounds ( to an English speaker), are formed. Living in Ontario and having a very large and very friendly Russian community, it makes things a lot easier. Also learning the alphabet is one of the things I found to be key in learning the language.
I started your Zero to Fluency videos 18 months ago. It's an excellent foundation. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Russian. Your other lessons are great too.
I understand 6 foreign languages : English, French, German, Russian, Mandarin, and Japanese.. I also know Arabic, but I forget most of it. I'm a 53 year-old Indonesian. I learned German when I was 21, French when 25, Russian when 30. now I've been learning Chinese since 2017 while at the same time learn Japanese by myself. I took regular classes in all of those languages, except Japanese self-learning.. I even went to Munich 1993 to participate German summer course and 1995 in Reims, France. out of all 7 languages that I've learned, only English and German I'm ready to speak anytime ... Russian, Chinese, and French, I have to get ready first when I want to speak those languages. I forget Arabic, and I just know Japanese but don't speak it ...
Fully agree. I would not be learning Russian at all, and having such fun with it, had I not found the Zero to Fluency course. Truly foundational. And Daria is a pleasure to learn from.
I totally agree. Using different resources, jumping from one to other, keeps you still focused on learning but not bored because you are using different means.
Agreeing with Elise J... my favorite part was seeing his face light up around 15:30 when he talks about the world that opens up to him through Russian. That's the effect this language can have on people. :)
Finally someone who makes sense. I've learned most of my English through video games, movies, series and later books. I started with reading and listening first. Then I went into typing answers and questions online. I didn't start speaking until quite a lot later. It's not super easy to do. However, when you know what words to use and how to structure sentences in a way that you can have a decent conversation, talking becomes way easier. It truly makes a difference if you start at that point. I hated having to talk in French in (Dutch) high school when I could hardly say anything. It was a nightmare for me. I've not done anything with languages for years due to the stress I experienced back then :/
Russian is beautiful......it's just like unwrapping an exquisite chocolate ....it is an amazing journey of discovery.....and thank you Daria for having been my very first teacher ! So pleased you managed to team up with Steve for this video as he is truly amazing. Being french I know his french is spot on ! and your english Daria is something else !!!!! keep up the good work you two and thanks again for being there for us Russian learners. All the very best. Мichel XXX
Its nice to see steve here with you, i have been using lingq since 1 year now, i learned russian and norwegian there. and i am glad that i found this amazing platform to learn language.
Congratulations, Daria, for inviting Steve Kaufmann to your channel. I love studying languages (and Russian is one of them!), and Steve is an inspiration to me. One day I will be a polyglot just like him. Thanks for the interview with him! I love your videos and lessons too, Daria. Я желаю тебе и Steve всего наилучшего!
I love Daria, I started early on following her sight. She's not only beautiful, but a great teacher.Everything said in this video was very pertinent to what a person would need. I have been taking Russsian for 1.5 years, and yet I don't know if I could follow a native at the train station as fast as they speak.
Спасибо - wonderful to see and hear this talented man Stephen Kauffman - it gave me so much more enthusiasm to carry on with my studies of this beautiful Russian language 😀
This was great Daria, thanks for sharing this interview. When he began speaking about his joy in learning Russian, his whole being opened up. Very inspiring. It’s so good to see that those who speak languages…LEARN languages. They invest time daily. It is a joy, yet it is work. Daria’s ZTF program ushered me into Russian. And others should know, learning the sounds of Russian letters, approximately, is very easy, 1 week. Then you go to a CZcams Russian film, no subtitles, go to the opening credits, all was Greek prior, and you hear yourself sound out S..v..yet..lana. Svetlana! And if like me, you’re hooked :)
WHAT!? WHAT!? WHAAAAT!?🤯 I thought that's a mistake in the thumbnail! I don't know who's idea was that but bravo! Crazy collaboration. Do that again. Invite Luca Lampariello!
it's so interesting to see how present Steve is, connecting with you through gaze, you often look away, a habit I have as well while im concentrating on speaking...but yeh fascinating, Steve must have a really grounded balanced brain, haha hopefully we'll be able to hold eyecontact down the line
not to ruin the impression, but the thing is that we were shooting on multiple cameras, and didn’t look at each other at all😂 it was the first time for me, Steve has much more experience doing this type of interviews:)
Wonderful! So encouraging. My friend and I are going through your ZTF course and we're thoroughly enjoying it. I'm surprising myself at how much I'm improving in the Russian language. Спасибо!!!!
Wow Daria this interview was absolutely phenomenal. You guys hit a lot of key points about learning a language. I stopped learning Russian mostly because of work I didn’t have enough time. But also I was try to learn by looking at the same book. And it was getting too repetitive. But now I’m getting back into learning and trying different videos and books. You’re still my favourite teacher though Daria :) Спасибо
I am Spanish and I started learning Russian because I follow a singer who sings in Russian, and I watch a lot of videos in CZcams with a lot of comments in Russian, and a lot of people speaking Russian and I want to know what they are saying...😀😅🙃 first of all I'm learning the Cyrillic alphabet so that I can transcribe the words into the Roman one.... It's quite a hard work, but I like learning languages and about other countries and cultures. I have just subscribed to your channel and to the free course which I think will help me a lot. Spasibo bolshoe☺☺
your vids are marvelous. i stumbled on something that's fun, flip the language: eng-ger/deu-eng, eng-rus/rus-eng/rus-nem. bouncing out of the native-lang comfort zone. fascinating!
Very interesting interview Daria...I have spoken English and Spanish more than half my life, then in 2017 I decided to teach myself German, when German became boring I started teaching myself Hungarian (paternal family roots) and then a little over a year ago I started with Russian. For my Russian I watch your channel and use Duolingo for on the go practice. I don't have much opportunity to put what I have learned to use but try whenever I can. Once, while first learning Hungarian, I was at the grocery and heard two ladies talking. I listened, decided they were speaking Hungarian and took the opportunity to engage in conversation. There is an offcier in the department where I am working who immigrated from Russia, we have had the opportunity to speak on a couple of occasions. Being able to put those skill into practical application is quite rewarding. While I had always been told that Hungarian and Finnish are two languages that have no ties to other languages I am finding some crossover between Hungarian and Russian. One example the word for bear (H) Medve (R) медведь they are written different but sound very similar. Also German the language is Nemetul in Hungarian (the country is Nemet) and in Russian the language is Немецкий. Apologies for the long winded post, but I find the study of language very interesting. Thanks for all you do.
Yeah you’re right many many professors like her sharing their native language and spending all their precious time to share all the material for us interested people to learn this awesome language. Thank you 🙏 all you guys mostly girls sharing all this fenomenal work. We really appreciate y’all.
Engaging progressive content seems to be the best way for me to get the most progress. A lot of random lessons on CZcams seem like lists of words or most common phrases without much context. Stories or topics using the vocab stick with you much longer than memorizing lists and tables. (for my learning style at least)
100%. I tried learning arabic from a book and it was so bad and I gave up. With Russian there’s a lot more readily available media for me to consume and i only “study” when I feel like it(maybe 5 hours a week) and I remember and understand a lot that it’s surprising. It makes me want to study even more. I don’t think “ugh time to go slog through a lesson”, “ooh i get to learn something new and become better at russian. I know it’s just a matter of time before I’m 99% fluent
For me i noted that memorizing songs helps with vocabulary and giving my opinion constantly in my target language it's something that helps me to practice constantly./Что касаться меня, отметил что, запоминание песен помогает с пополниением словорного запаса и постаянно высказываю свое мнение на свое целовом язык, это что-то помогает меня практиковать словорный постаянно.
Great to hear this inspiring talk. I love learning the Russian language even though here in Canada I have to study on my own. My progress is steady but slow. I get excited every time I find a Russian word that is similar to a Finnish word. Recently it was апельсин, appelsiini in Finnish. I knew the word appelsiini long before I learned the English word orange. So studying the Russian language never gets old for me.
Just finished Cruel Romance in english subtitles. Thank you for recommending this movie! The ending had my jaw drop lol Also your content is getting more impressive. Love your channel!
Don't you seem to find that many polyglots really like Russian? So many list Russian on the list of languages they speak. Russian is my favourite, too, though I still can barely say anything. Also good choice with the other languages you have. Je parle aussi français.
Amazing! Daria you are a wonderful teacher I'm finishing up your lesson 22 and I feel that I understand a lot for someone who has only studied Russian for 2 weeks or so.
If I may, правильно сказать: буду смотреть фильм. If you use "на", it translates as if you are "looking _at_ the film," but not actually _watching_ it 😉
Здравствуйте, мой преподаватель Дарья, интересное интервью, хочу вам сказать, что лично мне было очень тяжело, когда приходилось видеть кого-то спереди, и хороший друг научил меня фиксировать взгляд на лбу собеседника, т.к. сильно двигал глазами, и создавалось впечатление, что он не обращал внимания, Это не так, но это может отвлекать,,,,,,,,,, объятие из Боготы.
This is great motivation to not give up and continue learning Russian. I am also 60 and I just love learning it. When the Pandemic is over I plan on going to SPB as I have friends who live there. I already speak 100% English, 100% Spanish and 75% Italian...and the trick is to learn Russian from Spanish to Russian because they are so similar. Especially with the order in which the words are said...they often make no sense in English then I realize they are exactly in the same order as in Spanish.
Si...no articulos pero me puse a pensar porque usamos articulos en otros idiomas...jaja. No son necesarios...y otra cosa...porque palabras masculinas y femininas...quien abra estado tan aburriodo que le medio generos a las palabras y tormentarnos...jaja.
Yes, that's on point, ive purchased tons of audiobooks im russian on liters oh i live this Man, that's my method as well, when i was starting i did exact the same thing.
A very important issue is accent. Some languages (English is the obvious example) are very forgiving, as there are so many different dialects, foreign accents and so on. But other languages (like French) require a very specific accent to be understood - and if you can't do the accent, you can't understand it either. A lot of people who fail to learn another language fail because they just can't bring themselves to try and use a 'foreign' pronunciation. I don't know what the answer is.
I have started learning Russian. I have mostly learnt the Alphabet. Then I have learnt a few phrases from Anna Detective. Now I am writing in russian to my teacher.
Daria I'm continuing my learning in latin but have dabbled in Russian and will return after I get to satisfactory level in latin. Russian is also inflected and is a beautiful language and I've found latin has helped me immensely for learning Russian. Do you recommend assimil Russian or any other resource plus maybe with you if its possible.
I like tune in radio for Russian radio stations...I listen on my way to work, even though I don't understand a lot of it, over time I have been able to just listen to key words that I do know. I would like to find a site that has literal translations, rather than just translating to English
To be able to speak 20 languages, Steven must be a genius. Some people, like me, cannot even speak appropriately just one foreign language, even after years of painful efforts.
I learned Russian 2000 - 2002 in the Russian cultural center in Jakarta. I tried to read Dostoyevski and Chekov in their original language with a dictionary next to me. I give up.... I didn't finish Chekov novel though I had made a photocopy of it. However, I think my Russian has never been better since then, around A2 level ... Russian is such a difficult language. 1. the cases / padzesh 2. the verbal aspects : perfective-inperfective 3. the verb conjugation. I like to learn foreign languages. I speak German and got Mittelstuffe-1 Zertifikat, which is equal to B2. But now I can only answer B1 questions satisfactorily. My German deteriorates. Now I'm learning Chinese. I got Hsk-3 in October 2019. However, I still speak German better than Chinese and Russian though I don't use it anymore.... My Chinese and Russian are more or less the same. I read Russian articles better than Chinese, but I listen to Chinese conversations better than Russian. It's easier to read Russian compared to Chinese.
Widziałem wielu ludzi Włochów, Litwinów, Czechów, ale Rosyjska uroda jest Najpiękniejsza, to kweata urody dla Polaka rosyjska to Mega urodziwa urodziwa uroda. Sława Rosji
I think I should be honest and comment that daria 's Russia teaching is for interest in the different culture ,though like others hopefully we can progress from this.
Wow, this man is courageous to take on learning Arabic (it's on the highest level of difficulty). What is important to know us that when making mistakes while speaking a language and being corrected it helps you to never make that mistake again.
@@spotless7241 @Spot Less So you understood that the 'us' was 'is'. Bravo! You get a gold star. Who asked you to be the text-corrector on CZcams? What a dimwit you are. I suggest you find another way to build your self-esteem!
@@ricardooliveira9774 Minha primeira língua é o inglês! Imagine se eu corrigisse seu português! Estamos falando de uma língua que estamos aprendendo. É como se vocês não tivessem nada importante para fazer em suas vidas. Sugiro que você se concentre mais em aprender o que Daria trabalha duro para nos ensinar, em vez de desperdiçar seu tempo com seus comentários bobos.
Question to native English speakers - can you interpret English words?For example, do you know where the "magic E" came from or what "I am" means? By learning Russian, you can learn more about English. I started to invent a "new Russian language", I hope it will help foreigners.
What is that film he mentioned, the one you said was your favorite? I didn't catch the title. And thanks so much for that interview. I really enjoyed it!

Learning Cyrillic alphabet opened up soooooo much Russian for me. My vocabulary has exploded…not so much retention BUT nonetheless awesome results

Yeah you’re right many many professors like her sharing their native language and spending all their precious time to share all the material for us interested people to learn this awesome language. Thank you 🙏 all you guys mostly girls sharing all this fenomenal work. We really appreciate y’all.
Engaging progressive content seems to be the best way for me to get the most progress. A lot of random lessons on CZcams seem like lists of words or most common phrases without much context. Stories or topics using the vocab stick with you much longer than memorizing lists and tables. (for my learning style at least)
yes, words stick in our memory much better if they are put in context
100%. I tried learning arabic from a book and it was so bad and I gave up. With Russian there’s a lot more readily available media for me to consume and i only “study” when I feel like it(maybe 5 hours a week) and I remember and understand a lot that it’s surprising. It makes me want to study even more. I don’t think “ugh time to go slog through a lesson”, “ooh i get to learn something new and become better at russian. I know it’s just a matter of time before I’m 99% fluent
For me i noted that memorizing songs helps with vocabulary and giving my opinion constantly in my target language it's something that helps me to practice constantly./Что касаться меня, отметил что, запоминание песен помогает с пополниением словорного запаса и постаянно высказываю свое мнение на свое целовом язык, это что-то помогает меня практиковать словорный постаянно.
Darla, thanks for the good lessons I am learning about 6 different languages right now so I appreciate what you do .
I’ve used LingQ and also the Real Russian Verbs Of Motion course and both are fantastic. Thank you 🙏🏽
Such a great an inspirational interview
Great to hear this inspiring talk. I love learning the Russian language even though here in Canada I have to study on my own. My progress is steady but slow. I get excited every time I find a Russian word that is similar to a Finnish word. Recently it was апельсин, appelsiini in Finnish. I knew the word appelsiini long before I learned the English word orange. So studying the Russian language never gets old for me.
I have just now had an апельсин 🍊
In Canada, may be, it's advisable to study Ukrainian.
Wow! I did not know that orange is similar in Finnish!
Woa!!! this is really encouraging, thanks lot for the amazing interview, losts of good advices!
This is a great interview, thanks to both of you.
Just finished Cruel Romance in english subtitles. Thank you for recommending this movie! The ending had my jaw drop lol Also your content is getting more impressive. Love your channel!
Some of my favorite language teachers
thank you :)
Many people want the practicalities of accurate multiple language communication without the necessary resources and we too can turn to you
I have French and Latin and Spanish and Russian but Russian is my favorite and always have been. I just love languages.
Don't you seem to find that many polyglots really like Russian? So many list Russian on the list of languages they speak. Russian is my favourite, too, though I still can barely say anything. Also good choice with the other languages you have. Je parle aussi français.
No, I did not know him, but it's great to have pertinent advices from an expert.
Thank you
Amazing! Daria you are a wonderful teacher I'm finishing up your lesson 22 and I feel that I understand a lot for someone who has only studied Russian for 2 weeks or so.
Are you still learning?
поздравления за гениальное интервью!!
Спасибо большое Дарья и Стивен, очень интересно, конечно буду сматрить на фильм жестокий романс. Хорошего дня вам 😁
If I may, правильно сказать: буду смотреть фильм. If you use "на", it translates as if you are "looking _at_ the film," but not actually _watching_ it 😉
это отличный фильм
@@APlusRussian спасибо, буду смотреть фильм сегодня вечером 🍷
@@XxDuhBirdsxX Всегда пожалуйста 😊
Здравствуйте, мой преподаватель Дарья, интересное интервью, хочу вам сказать, что лично мне было очень тяжело, когда приходилось видеть кого-то спереди, и хороший друг научил меня фиксировать взгляд на лбу собеседника, т.к. сильно двигал глазами, и создавалось впечатление, что он не обращал внимания, Это не так, но это может отвлекать,,,,,,,,,, объятие из Боготы.
Daria and Steve, you are probably the two people who inspired me to start learning Russian about two or three years ago. Thank you.
Здарова. Как проходит изучения русского языка?
@@GSpandy Очень хорошо, спасибо !
У меня отличный репетитор.
@@TonyCZcamsChannel АА
This is great motivation to not give up and continue learning Russian. I am also 60 and I just love learning it. When the Pandemic is over I plan on going to SPB as I have friends who live there. I already speak 100% English, 100% Spanish and 75% Italian...and the trick is to learn Russian from Spanish to Russian because they are so similar. Especially with the order in which the words are said...they often make no sense in English then I realize they are exactly in the same order as in Spanish.
broo estoy haciendo lo mismo y si tienes razon.
@@tanjiro5856 Hay tantas palabras parecidas al Español. Solo hay que olvidarse de los articulos...jaja.
Huh ? Spanish is similar to Russian ?
Si...no articulos pero me puse a pensar porque usamos articulos en otros idiomas...jaja. No son necesarios...y otra cosa...porque palabras masculinas y femininas...quien abra estado tan aburriodo que le medio generos a las palabras y tormentarnos...jaja.
Thank you so much.
Greetings from Mexico! Congratulations to Mr. Steve Kaufmann!! I like to study languages.
👍🏻👍🏻
I watch films on Star Media on CZcams. This is a fun way to hear it spoken.
there are many Russian movies on CZcams:)
@@RealRussianClub yes. I’ve watched every Russian show on Netflix. Мажор (Silver Spoon) is my favorite. Waiting for season 3.
Russian seems to be a very interesting language
Даша, спасибо за интервью! Ты - отличный интервьюер! Сейчас вспоминаю, как брала интервью у тебя...
приветище!
@@RealRussianClub ага, родная, привет, привет!
Круто! Я не ожидал видеть Кауфман. Хорошая работа и спасибо за видео.
This person so inspiring I have listened him in different podcast and is really awesome 👏 Russian is a journey I agreed
yes, he’s awesome👍🏻
Came here to learn Russian and getting flashbacks of my time in Latvia! Whew the women there I tell ya!!
Really helpful. I love your channel, Daria.
Yes, that's on point, ive purchased tons of audiobooks im russian on liters oh i live this Man, that's my method as well, when i was starting i did exact the same thing.
👍🏻👍🏻
A very important issue is accent. Some languages (English is the obvious example) are very forgiving, as there are so many different dialects, foreign accents and so on. But other languages (like French) require a very specific accent to be understood - and if you can't do the accent, you can't understand it either. A lot of people who fail to learn another language fail because they just can't bring themselves to try and use a 'foreign' pronunciation. I don't know what the answer is.
Sure. Russian is more strict, clear, some say rough, but for me German is most brutal.
Much love to you from Uk we don’t believe the hype we are all brothers and sisters ❤️
I have started learning Russian. I have mostly learnt the Alphabet. Then I have learnt a few phrases from Anna Detective. Now I am writing in russian to my teacher.
Nice discussion I like it thank u for it 🤗
thank you for watching
Daria I'm continuing my learning in latin but have dabbled in Russian and will return after I get to satisfactory level in latin. Russian is also inflected and is a beautiful language and I've found latin has helped me immensely for learning Russian. Do you recommend assimil Russian or any other resource plus maybe with you if its possible.
Спасибо тебе за это❤️
Why I am here? I speak Russian wery well. It is my second mother language.
really encouraging words. im slowly getting discouraged, i am trying to slowly learn 7 at the time, but hey thats my own fault
It's a marathon, not a sprint - you'll get there, even if it's 1 word at a time 💗
good luck!
I like tune in radio for Russian radio stations...I listen on my way to work, even though I don't understand a lot of it, over time I have been able to just listen to key words that I do know. I would like to find a site that has literal translations, rather than just translating to English
Excellent interview! Thank you!
Wow! Спасибо большое для видео Даря! I liked Steve's more laid-back approach to language learning!
rlly loved the video
Steve Kauffman is a legend 🙏🔥
To be able to speak 20 languages, Steven must be a genius. Some people, like me, cannot even speak appropriately just one foreign language, even after years of painful efforts.
Amazing collaboration :)
I learned Russian 2000 - 2002 in the Russian cultural center in Jakarta.
I tried to read Dostoyevski and Chekov in their original language with a dictionary next to me.
I give up....
I didn't finish Chekov novel though I had made a photocopy of it.
However, I think my Russian has never been better since then, around A2 level ...
Russian is such a difficult language.
1. the cases / padzesh
2. the verbal aspects : perfective-inperfective
3. the verb conjugation.
I like to learn foreign languages.
I speak German and got Mittelstuffe-1 Zertifikat, which is equal to B2.
But now I can only answer B1 questions satisfactorily.
My German deteriorates.
Now I'm learning Chinese.
I got Hsk-3 in October 2019.
However, I still speak German better than Chinese and Russian though I don't use it anymore....
My Chinese and Russian are more or less the same.
I read Russian articles better than Chinese, but I listen to Chinese conversations better than Russian.
It's easier to read Russian compared to Chinese.
Widziałem wielu ludzi Włochów, Litwinów, Czechów, ale Rosyjska uroda jest Najpiękniejsza, to kweata urody dla Polaka rosyjska to Mega urodziwa urodziwa uroda. Sława Rosji
I think I should be honest and comment that daria 's Russia teaching is for interest in the different culture ,though like others hopefully we can progress from this.
good luck :)
Nice positive guy in his ages.
Wow, this man is courageous to take on learning Arabic (it's on the highest level of difficulty). What is important to know us that when making mistakes while speaking a language and being corrected it helps you to never make that mistake again.
maybe you’re right 👍🏻
Is that*
@@spotless7241 @Spot Less So you understood that the 'us' was 'is'. Bravo! You get a gold star. Who asked you to be the text-corrector on CZcams? What a dimwit you are. I suggest you find another way to build your self-esteem!
@@alinedeleandro123 Você contradizeu o que você disse kkkkkkkk
@@ricardooliveira9774 Minha primeira língua é o inglês! Imagine se eu corrigisse seu português! Estamos falando de uma língua que estamos aprendendo. É como se vocês não tivessem nada importante para fazer em suas vidas. Sugiro que você se concentre mais em aprender o que Daria trabalha duro para nos ensinar, em vez de desperdiçar seu tempo com seus comentários bobos.
great man!
Question to native English speakers - can you interpret English words?For example, do you know where the "magic E" came from or what "I am" means?
By learning Russian, you can learn more about English.
I started to invent a "new Russian language", I hope it will help foreigners.
What is that film he mentioned, the one you said was your favorite? I didn't catch the title.
And thanks so much for that interview. I really enjoyed it!
The motivation thing - great!
