Speaking in Slovak, Italian, Russian and French 🇸🇰🇮🇹🇷🇺🇫🇷
Speaking Slovak, Italian, Russian and French. I am amazed at how easily you can switch between languages when talking to artificial intelligence. I think it's a great way to practice foreign languages, especially to improve your speaking skills. So if you're shy like me, try practicing foreign languages with AI.

Из слов с противоположным значением можно составлять целые предложения, и это звучит ещё эпичней. "vaša čerstvá pohánka úžasne vonia"
В целом прикольно. Вы достаточно хорошо говорите. И идея говорить с сетью - тоже интересная. Ведь так даже проще, чем искать людей, общие интересы и время на это. Проблема в том, что она скучная и зацикливается, а ещё не исправляет произношение и ошибки, а просто продолжает болтать (со странной интонацией).
Спасибо большое! Постараюсь больше говорить на итальянском, чтобы понять его уровень.
По-русски "помощь" - не "помоц". И надо "Спасибо большоЕ", а не "большоЙ", потому что "спасибо" - оно (среднего рода).
зато по-словацки помощь - pomoc (помоц)
Спасибо! Я услышала, как говорю «помоц», пока монтировала видео 🙂 точно, поскольку так говорят по-словацки, я запуталась
@@palmacate Вам не стоит особо зацикливаться на таких мелочах, особенно с учётом того что вы учите два славянских языка, в то время когда ваш родной - итальянский. Это совсем не режет слух, и с практикой ваша речь отшлифуется до идеала. Подобные комментарии оставляют люди либо вообще никогда не изучавшие иностранные языки на серьезном уровне, либо просто Вас троллят.
@84kaskad знаю, что в некоторых славянских языках "помоц".
@@84kaskad какие "подобные комментарии"? Я описал явные ошибки, которые заметил. Автор канала выложила видео с языками и я дал отзыв. Более мелкие детали, которые действительно менее заметны, я и не описывал. Троллинг - это когда человека изводят провокациями, а не когда подсказывают. И как Автору отшлифовать язык, если никто не будет подсказывать недочёты? Для того, что бы что-то исправить, что человек не заметил - об этом нужно сообщить человеку. На этом опыте человек и учится.
очень талантливая и красивая девушка! русский язык звучит прекрасно и некоторые слова практически без акцента. удачи с дальнейшим изучением языков
Спасибо большое 😊
ahoj. What a beautiful country! I am Slovak but have never been to SK.
Have you ever used ChatGPT to practice speaking? 🗣️
использую Gemini, и что забавно, именно изучая словацкий язык. Наверное стоит попробовать ChatGPT Современные возможности изучения иностранных языков достигли такого уровня, что не знание хотя бы одного иностранного не может быть оправдано нечем. Вы талантливая девушка. Кроме моего родного - русского, я говорю на украинском, английском и словацком.
Спасибо :) так что я тоже буду попробовать Gemini
🎉любит много говорить
tha's not something that I am able to perceive in other languages, but I already noticed that in french ChatGPT has an awful accent. Awful in the sense that no one speaks like that except maybe some really snotty people. It borders on caricature. Very long vowels it sounds like a humorist trying to imitate someone unbearably snobbish
Interesting! in Italian is was quite ok! Well yes, you can hear it’s an artificial voice, but still… useful to practice speaking :)
In Russian, the chat sounds slightly like a foreigner and it's not so bad because it's barely noticeable, but the intonations are more annoying - they sound as if she exaggerates her politeness and speaks as if to a child - as if she's mocking. Completely artificial goodwill, like some kind of psychopath; you can feel the falseness and the attitude as to a child who doesn't know how to eat with a spoon.
Got it! I think If I kept talking it could improve (it’s usually like that with prompts)! :) and also I felt the first couple of sentences in Russian were worse compared to the next ones, I felt like it had an accent, then it was better
@@palmacate I heard the same thing. You have a great sense of language if you can pick up on such subtleties.
we have fasiangy spring celebration
What book did you use to learn the Slovak language? Could you give me a copy, and where can I buy one? Preferably a Slovak-to-English translation. Thanks in advance
I used Krížom-krážom :) other resources used are in the description of the video
Sono sicuro che ci siano tanti stranieri chi apprezzerebbero ascoltare (e imparare) la tua bellissima lingua madre (come me). Provi questa direzione. Urcite by to malo uspech...
Grazie! Presto un video sull’Italiano 🙂
videl som ten úsmev na tvári ked ti ChatGPT rozprával v rodnej Taliančine
Interesting! Just a question: which app did you use?
ChatGPT! :)
Yes, Slovaks are slower to serve in restaurants, but Italians are so much slower in the supermarkets
Bratislava is as beautiful as you showed in your videos. I just came last week here and I am loving it.❤
good video..subscribed💪
Thank you 😊
Well done and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
@palmacate Well, by knowing already some Russian, your path to Slovak was much easier, definitely.Did you consider to take a look on Ukrainian language that stands somewhere in between both of them?
Yes, I check it every once in a while on Duolingo :)
Do you think Slovak cheeses are better than Italian ones?
I honestly only ever tried supermarket ones in SK (and in restaurants), but to answer this question I should probably try some local, non-supermarket cheese.
Can you tell me please how could I find a job in Slovakia,what is the easiest way?I was in Bratislava once long time ago and what I saw it was nice...Can you just tell me how to find a job??? Thank you in advance.
It’s very interesting to hear these stereotypes from a local perspective. Thank you for this video! After living in Italy for a few months, I totally agree that these stereotypes aren’t true. Moreover, everyone here is different from one another. It’s upsetting how people judge an entire nation based on a few individuals-everyone is unique :)
I couldn’t agree more :) thank you for your nice comment Julia, спасибо большое!
Wow, I didn't know that you know Russian too, it's my native language :) It's so wonderful that you know a few languages, inspiring!
Yes, it’s a never ending learning process, I’m trying to improve it because I’d love to be more fluent! 😍
aj tak by to bolo 600€ len za jedlo 😀 to niekto zaraba v čistom je to samozrejme hrôza
Nice video. As Slovenian I could understand quite some Slovak. We have famous false friend world 'otrok' - slave, is Slovenian child. Greetings from Slovenia
In Russian, the word otrok (teenage boy) is an archaic version of the word podrostok. But this word can often be found in literature, or when a person wants to express himself in a special way.
Museums, churches, bridges, culture, architecture, castles, food, language and people. The language is so different. Frederickusz interviews and Agi Szabados stories have captions for brain. 🎉😊
The Slavic language have approximately the same simularity as Spanish and Italian or german dutch. I can compare cos I learned a bit Spanish and i speak german . And also I was the last generation which was affected by Russian language. Only one and a half year. My brother already wasnt effected and it is really difference. I understand thousand percent better. And also when I will start to learn again I would improve it very fast. Like you said. I remember when I was for almost 1 year in Edinburgh in Scotland and visiting my former English teacher(she use to live in slovakia 1 or 2 years as a teacher) at home - Scottish girl and her father was the profesor on HW University and ones came with an Russian Professor and Russian Professor Start to talk Russian to me. And I really understand him a lot. I was really surprised good way. My father is pensioner and understand russian good. Of course not everything but he can normally communicate. When we were children we were blaming Russian language we didn't like it that time in 1989 but now I see it was worth it and I'm thankful for it nowdays. But for example polish we can understand quite good. Especially people from North Slovakia. But it depends who are you talking to.Age, education, how he or she pronunciate, which part of Poland she or he is etc... Polysis closer to Ass because it's West slavic. And Russia has also lot of dialects. But I am surprised that I better understand Russian than Ukrainian. But lot of Ukrainian people are using mixture of Russian and Ukraine and language named surgik. But that's already other capture... I cross finger and appreciate that u lear slovak. It's not easy. But if you know One slavic language then it is match easer to learn. But of course you will mix some words that happened to me as well 🙂. I have also problem with y and i sometimes 🙂. And I'm Slovak Born in Bratislava close to Bratislava castle. So the written form is Slovak not easy neither for slovaks.
Nice video. I would like to know, how is your understanding of czech languange(as another slavic language) when you hear it after you learned slovak? Some of my foreign friends told me that it is very different to them, but mostly they understood it quite well after learning slovak.
se vuoi migliorare il tuo russo, ti consiglio il canale RUclips www.youtube.com/@superrustina
zaujámavé ako vždy 😊😊
v podstate ak rozprávate anglicky a rusky mali by ste sa dohovoriť na celom Slovensku, lebo mladší ľudia hovoria anglicky a starší sa museli povinne učiť rusky tak by mali vedieš ruštinu
Chcela som sa však naučiť základy slovenčiny, aby som lepšie komunikovala a rozumela :)
rusky vie tak jedno percento ľudí. Naštastie. Ani starí ľudia nerozumejú ruštine, skúste sa opýtať po okolí. V mojom okolí nikto rusky nerozumie, ani rozumieť nechce.
@@MaximusMusicusdepending,he has no talent on languages of course doadnt't understand.1% understand perfectly but another % understand also but different levels.I m not old was the generation affected by Russian language .Only 1 or 1.5 year. And it helping me much. My brother wasn't already affected and it's huge difference.
@@MaximusMusicus Rusky porozumie aj ten, kto sa rusky neučil, v prípade, že nie je totálny tupec, lebo je to slovanský jazyk príbuzný slovenčine.
@@corgon-uf7zq To nie je vôbec pravda, pustite si nejaké video v ruštine a prekladajte si ho v hlave. A buďte k sebe úprimný. Jazykovo má k našemu jazyku oveľa bližšie Ukrajinčina z pochopiteľných dôvodov, pochádzame z jedného kmeňa.
Slovak/any Slavic language, Italian/Spanish, German/Dutch? Have you ever learnt 2 similar languages? Do you have any tips not to get confused? 😆
I can test that understanding thing about Slavic languages very easy Što se slavenskih jezika tiče kad su u istoj grupi onda ih je lako razumiti ali kad nisu onda je problem pa je naprimjer Poljski problematičan a Slovenski manje a Srpski još i manje, književni Hrvatski i Srpski su slični a Dijalekti nisu, znači Poljski je kao Portugalski medju Slavenskim jezicima, znači daleko je od Južnoslavenskih ali blizu naprimjer Bjeloruskom, sve ovisi od početne točke učenja to jest koji jezik prvi učiš ili znaš. Also i have your problem with Spanish/Italian understand something from both but speak none, Always mix up words, also today i watched this Italian movie about kids who were send from Napoli to North Italy in 1946 and they sound like Romanians and say some words with Š sound, same like we say Šporko(Prljavo) instead of Sporco but that is not weird it is loanword, still interesting thing to hear. So about Slavic, you need one language from every Slavic group to underatand all so Russian, Slovak plus some south slavic language and that is it. Also Užasno is probably loanword from South Slavic since here it means same as in Russian but not same as Slovak version.
because your country is cooked?
I feel like Slovak is the perfect blend between Czech and Polish, so you actually might be right
interesting way to entertain 😊😊
You're perfect! Btw Italian language is very nice and sounds great. Like sometimes speaking in italian is like singing....there's evidentaly melody in lines.
That "Bench" thing is so common that if you pick any country from Greece to Portugal it would be like that ! Summer around six or seven in the morning bunch of people on the bench talking and claiming to know stuff, bassicaly about everything, Sport,Art,Wine,Food you can just name it 😅 no school nedeed, they know 😁😅🤔 There is this English guy living in Hvar and he said that biggest honor was when he was invited to sit on a bench and just talk, then he knew he was accepted .
Well ... brand Slovakia is actuly not Slovak brand .. our goverment sue them but lost it. None of them is made in Slovakia. Its scam and many people in Slovakia dont know it. If you eat chips then try Zemiačiky, its real potatos not fake like in chips.
It is so funny how Slovaks and Slovenes call their alphabet "Slovenska Abeceda" and both female Slovak and Slovene is "Slovenka" 😅
The real heart of Slovakia is not Bratislava but the High Tatras
What a stupid channel and questions you constantly ask throughout the video. Go get a real job and stop posting stupid videos about the differences between Slovakia and Italy. Most Slovaks will never visit your country. Really they could careless. More pressing problems people have in Slovakia. Your videos are nonsense and a big waste of bandwidth.
Being born in Bratislava,I agree with many things that you said. I lived in bigger cities like Vienna or Prague and spent quite some time in London, but what I liked the most about Bratislava was the proximity to nature... you really need some 10min and you can be in the forests and go 60-100km in pure nature. What I was always missing were people like you, from other countries and cities of Europe that make the town more livable and interesting. I'm glad that there are young people from Europe who want to move and live in Slovakia, this is helping a lot. I myself have some problems to live there since the biggest problem for me is the Slovak mentality. After living 15Y abroad and returning to Slovakia, even after 3years I still have difficulty to adapt even though I speak the language. But this would be a stuff for a quite long comment :D.
ja som iba prisiel na komenty od slovakov hovoriacich po anglicky LOL
Horalky are peanut flavored and Tatranky have hazelnut flavor.
Try to make “kapustnica”
Cuteness overload. If you have a slovak bf/husband, I bet he loves when you speak slovak.
LOL, me and my wife are both Slovaks in our 40’s. My wife actually had a bidet when she was growing up in the 80’s in Pezinok. She said she loved it. Right now we’re renovating our apartment in Dubravka and guess what, it will have a bidet. 😂😂😂
As a Bratislava native who has lived in California, Florida, North Carolina, Germany and Australia, I was happy to come back here and raise my children. Now that they are teenagers I am glad my wife and I made this choice. Weather and people could be nicer here, but that’s why Spain and Italy exist for vacations 😂😂😂
Oh my, that Italians are late is absolutely true especially from my experience. I don’t know how many times I asked my husband why people were not at the meeting point yet and him responding : they’re Italian, it’s the Italian timing etc. Or us arriving late somewhere and him saying don’t worry they will understand we’re in Italy. In Italy arriving up to 15 min late is normal but in other countries is NOT! I can assure you of that. But have to say that many times is not because of the people miscounting or mismanaging their time but simply because of the intense and crazy Italian traffic.
It probably depends on the traffic also, my town is not so big so maybe that’s why most people I know are not late? While it happened so many times (I live abroad since many years) that people from any country were late. That’s where my point came from 🤣 I couldn’t really find a pattern.
