24 out of 30 without looking at subtitles. Getting towards the end it gets harder! Thanks for the exercise it's super useful. I noticed watching the news that they give the number even faster than you do :) I look forward to seeing more of these numbers exercices!
This is actually so useful numbers are a curse to understand quickly in any language, there are so few resources out there that actually practise them like this at a higher level.
This is a superb exercise. I think I will need to listen to it 1 or 200 times for it to sink in as I am hopeless with numbers. Thanks very much as usual, Kristina!
Nah by the 20th time you´ll learn them by heart. 3-5 times over a couple of days is more than enough for one exercise and you´ll definitely see improvement
Thanks, Christina! Your pronunciation is crystal clear. Such practice is useful for me because it helped me to discover that I find it difficult to keep more than three or four Russian digits in my head at one time. If I hear a number in the millions only once, it is difficult for me to write it all down, because I forget the first half of the number as I try to listen to the second half. That I think is one of the benefits of such practice. It trains students of Russian to write down what they have just heard while continuing to listen (and hopefully remember) what follows. A very useful skill when interacting in real time.
Glad it was helpful, Philip! The chance that you´ll have to listen numbers in millions in Russian in real life is pretty small but as you said, this exercise also serves for improving general listening skills and ability to process fast Russian
@@BoostYourRussian It would be fantastic if you could do a similar video for dates. And even times. I think these can be really challenging to take in at natural speed. For the same reason - the mental load.
@@gabor213 it is a difficult topic...especially when asking for the price of something...I probably need 10 minutes to figure out what the shop keeper said 😅😅
Привет Кристина, I looove your videos!thank you so much 🥰🥰 can you please make a video with phrases I can use in a relationship? The only phrase I know is: я люблю тебя 😅😂
Very good lesson! Sometimes I bring up a random number generator and say the numbers in Russian, but it's even more helpful to hear them in Russian and translate them to English. I several correct and most partially to mostly correct. I'll wait a few days and listen through it again.
80% right!! didn't remember that четыреста means 400 xD Great video!! it'd also be great to see more videos like this but in some context, I mean, numbers expressed in prepositional case, for example Спасибо большое!!
Интересное упражнение. Напоминает меня о дальном прошлом когда я служил. Меня послали в институт учить русский язык. Иногда мы надели наушники и слышали быстро произнесённые числа. Несмотря на то что не могли их понять, тем не менее правильно их написали. Значит что подсознательно поймали.
Здравствуйте. Я просто зашла послушать. Я считала раньше, что на английском цифры звучат тяжело и это сложно понять. Теперь прослушав это видео, я понимаю, что на русском это в разы сложнее. Мы просто привыкли к этому и не замечаем уровень сложности. Но на деле для иностранцев это сложно, я считаю.
1) Sometimes we itemize the numbers in a phone number, sometimes we express them as groups. So we might say 800-510-2020 as "eight hundred, five-ten, twenty-twenty" or "eight hundred, five-one-oh (we should say zero, but many say 'oh') two-zero-two-zero" In Russian, is there a strict convention to saying a phone number? 2) We write the number 1,000, 543.27 with commas separating the thousand and million and every thousand after one million. Does Russian use a period between everything? How do you express the comma (if there is one)? We also would express 'xxx.27' as "point-two-seven" or "point-twenty-seven". Is that the same convention in Russian?
1) It´s exactly the same in Russian. There is no set rule on how to pronounce phone numbers - your can group digits or say them individually 2) It´s the other way around in Russian - we use a comma in decimal numbers and a point to separate the thousands. Actually, the points are not normally used, so it´s common to see gigantic numbers like 1275684756 and then you have to mentally break digits in groups of three starting from the end in order to read the number correctly (crazy, right?) I added points in order to make it visually easier to read the number
Many thanks for this. Like many others, I found this very difficult, and needed a pause in the middle because my head was threatening to explode. HOWEVER, I think anyone is capable of getting to a stage where this is super-easy, and that it is simply a matter of practice. In fact, I see no reason why someone could not get 100% on a test like this and not know a single word of Russian, apart from numbers. I know I have not devoted enough time to this yet, probably because it is fairly challenging and not that interesting (though very important).
Just an observation ( not strictly related to the video) - even people who are very fluent in a foreign language tend to switch to their native language when calculating. Can someone explain why it is SO difficult to calculate in a foreign language?
@@markbr5898 As a rule, calculations are not related to emotions, it is an abstraction. And language is easier to learn when you connect new words with emotions, with the emotional sphere. And that is why it is so difficult to count in a foreign language because it is extremely problematic to connect any mathematical equation with emotions.And learning through stories is easy, because they are full of emotional anchors that root words and concepts in the memory.
Как правило вычисления не связаны с эмоциями, это абстракция.А язык легче учится когда вы связываете новые слова с эмоциями, с эмоциональной сферой. И поэтому так сложно считать на иностранном языке ведь связать с эмоциями какое нибудь математическое уравнение крайне проблематично.А учить через истории - легко, ведь они полны эмоциональных якорей которые укореняют в памяти слова и понятия.
I am so frustrated with the number 12... I always wrote 20 🤦♀️🤦♀️ and also mixed 90 and 900 because I was agitated due to the speed 😂 thank you a lot, it was MUCH needed
@@BoostYourRussian I understand written Russian already, now that I’m studying Russian for 301 consecutive days, but I still can’t understand an entire phrase when a native talks to me.. 😳
It takes time to get used to spoken Russian. First you need to train your ear to understand slow spoken Russian, and then switch to regular spoken Russian
@@icejumperke главное не паниковать и сохранять спокойствие. Ну и фраза "говорите пожалуйста немного медленнее, я ещё только учу русский язык" должна у вас "отскакивать от зубов" (pronounced easily, naturally and without tension).

Для меня это идет слишком быстро, но, начав еще несколько раз, станет лучше.
Рада помочь! С каждым разом у вас будет больше и больше правильных ответов!
Спасибо! Я все поняла , но мне нужно практиковать.
Удачи в практике :) Я изучаю английский, мне тоже сложно слушать числа на английском :(
Отличный результат!
Это была здорова. Именно то, что мне нужно.надеюсь что больше,я даже могу заплатить за все, что делали с цифрами.
Рада, что видео было вам полезно!
This was just what I needed, Спасибо!

Интересно, как вы смогли их написать правильно, если не поняли. Видимо, действительно подсознание 🤔
Да, очень интересное явление. Стоит соображение. Может быть мы недостаточно оцениваем силу подсознания.

Great result, Thomas!

Thanks for watching :)
Alas, not one. But I hope to improve with this video. Thanks.
Hope this video will be helpful!

You need to work harder.
A bit too fast for me! I need a longer break between the second e the third time befor the written number appears !Thanks a lot!
First time listening I got 12 the second I got 22.😊
Just a question, are there only 29 numbers?🤔😁
I think there are 30 numbers but maybe I deleted one last minute 🤔
@@BoostYourRussian Ясно😊
Anyway, thanks a lot. This is really heplful. My brain was challenged again😅
I also got only 29.
Whoa!! Not a single one did I get. I'm not an advanced Russian speaker, however.
This exercises is definitely not easy!
That was excellent practice! But I only got 50% right :(
Try to do this exercise a couple of times and you´ll see how your result gets better every time
Numbers in different cases are a little 😱 nightmare for learners
14 right at 50% speed and pausing. I'm still B1 level
Practice makes perfect, you´ll get better at understanding numbers!

Its funny sound terrible but its the same more or less than in spanish. Up to this point I haven't really tried to learn more than 100 ...
I guess you can get away with only learning numbers up to 100 if you are not planning to travel to Russian-speaking countries
It is sooooo difficult.😵
I know 😭
