I didn't plan to retire from KZread. For a while, I had to make teaching Russian a part-time venture, that's why there was no time for KZread. BTW, I was still teaching Russian on Skype this whole time (again, non-full-time). Now I am coming back to KZread.

It feels good to be back

I've studied Latin and German before I started on Russian. Getting to B1 is the hardest part of learn since most people they feel like they aren't learning when not being able to communicate in a language they've put over a hundred hours in. The biggest tip I have is have a need to learn the language. If someone just "want to learn it for fun" that person will stop when the person has to learn something difficult.

Thanks for the input. From my observations, the "mute period" in Russian comes to an end at about a 100-hour mark. However, this happens very gradually, so there is no clear line.

That's how I've learned as much as I have. Self taught. Learning phrases, speaking them back into my Google Translate app on my phone 'til I get them right. I have literally hundreds of phrases stored in my Phrasebook on Google Translate. I find learning phrases much more rewarding than just learning words because I learn a lot more words that way and how to put those words together to say other things. The first thing I ever learned how to say in Russian was, "Я люблю тебя," and from that moment on it has gone pretty fast. But, I still don't know everything. I'm just learning how to talk all over again.

Thank you, Denis, for this instructive video. I use the Penguin's Russian course you have mentioned in one of your answers here in the comments. I find it to b e a very good and easy to learn book but it has a tiny number exercises. Could you please mention books or sites (or your own material) that contains extensive exercises?

Even despite I teach Russian, resources for self-learners are outside of my direct purview; in teaching Russian, I use completely different materials. See, I do not order all the textbooks and purchase all the programs to review them. That's why I am always very reluctant to directly recommend something. It's because I do not have a complete picture. As I explained in the comment you mentioned, when I review resources for self-learners, usually my opinion matches with Amazon reviews. For example, "Beginner's Russian with Interactive Online Workbook" by Anna Kudyma is one of the most popular textbooks on Amazon. I've just looked inside and can confirm that this book is something I can recommend and it very much resembles the experience you would have by studying with a tutor. As for the "Penguin's Russian Course," I can definitely recommend it even despite it is outdated. If you want more practice, the mentioned above "Beginner's Russian with Interactive Online Workbook" by Anna Kudyma can offer you the practice you need.

Is there somewhere to download workbooks where I can do exercises? Like problems that get me solving stuff? Is there any you recommend ?

For me personally, I’ve studied it ONE month so far. It’s 4-6 hour daily study. I’ve got alphabet, colors, numbers, months all down. I also have a good 500 words down. I have no choice because I’m moving to Russia. But that’s just my experience so far.

Lol, I thought it was a near-impossible number to reach, too, until I started making a list of all the Russian words I HAVE successfully memorized, and... even WITHOUT counting all the words I can't spell and/or define very accurately, I've already memorized over a HUNDRED words, and I've BARELY begun learning the language! Basically... what I'm trying to say, is just don't get to overwhelmed by it, or you'll never get anywhere at all. I'd also PERSONALLY recommend making lists, since lists always help me a lot, but whatever works for YOU, I'd just say to go ahead and try, WITHOUT worrying to much about the end goal, until already almost there :)

Hello Denis, I am unable to form sentences and in listening to the Russians what they are talking about so how can I improve??

@DenisFedorov

It means that your skills are not developed enough to form sentences and listen to Russians. You can improve by dedicating some time every day to learning Russian. After several dozens of hours of training, you'll notice that your Russian has noticeably improved.

Study the Grammar rules . Grammar is like the skeleton of learning a language. Once you understand Grammar you can add a whole bunch of words in and you'll know how and where to place those words in sentences according to the rules.

You are a great teacher and public speaker. I genuinely wish you won't be sent to Bahmut.

Amigo me podrías decir de un libro gratis en ruso pará aprender

I would say, if teaching in English, use the phras e 'Hello friends' instead of 'comrades'. The English word comrade has a negative connotation and we would not use it. I do use the word when speaking to my Russian friends.

Welcome back Denis! I live in Kyiv, and meet non native Russian speakers, who lived with a native speaker for 20+ years. Many still dont' speak any Russian, and those that do, It is HORRIBLE . Now, I've listened to some top polyglots, Luca for example, who lived with a Russian native for 10 years, and although his Russian is good, he doesn't form sentences like a native speaker. I have never, ever, nevvvvvver, not even once, heard someone form native-like sentences in Russian. It causes me to lose hope, because I dont want to be speaking like that after 10 years / In English, and Spanish (in my case), people can speak native-like after a few years of living in the u.s. for example. Can anyone please, send me a video of a non-native, who forms sentences like a native? I want to at least know that there is ONE person out there who can do it! (I dont care about the accent at all, just sentence formation) / #RussianLanguageWILLcrushYourSoul

I'm gonna sound like one of those people who learned terrible broken English to russians.

Good video, but these hours figures are absolutely ridiculous and if any one takes them seriously they will most likely kill themselves. As an extremely experienced language learner I spent 1100 hours on one of the easiest languages for an American, Spanish. This includes 150 hours speaking with teachers. I'm confident I could be a B1 in less than 500 hours more. This is pretty much in line with the expectations given by the US government since they give hours figures for classroom time not including the expected self-study hours. Based on the government figures, Russian is 200% as hard as Spanish so I expect to invest 3000 hours for a B1. As for effectiveness, I was speaking non-stop with teachers for 150 hours as mentioned, which means I was speaking or listening 100% every minute of these hours. So that's 100% intensity. My other study hours don't seem to have been less valuable on a hour-by-hour basis, so I believe the other hours were all AT LEAST 80% to 100% intensive. My vocab would be way over 2300 words btw. Probably closer to 6000.

Hello friend, thanks for your thoughtful comment. See, you're talking from a point of view of a self-learner and implying that practicing a language equals to its learning. In Russian, there are "professional programs" which are based on the methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language that has been developed by Russian academia for decades. Learning Russian via these programs with professional teachers statistically takes less than 200 training hours per each of the A1, A2, B1 levels. As for speaking non-stop with teachers for 150 hours, that is more a reinforcement of your current skill/level rather than learning a language. How much new do you learn during those talks? Probably just a few things. This issue becomes especially evident on later levels such as B2 when a person can be immersed in a foreign language environment and actively practice a foreign language for multiple hours a day but the general progress is slow. However, once such a person returns to purposefully continuing learning a language, their progression drastically increases.
