In this video I show you exactly my story how I learned Russian. Nowadays I often get mistaken for a native speaker. Even though I never really had a goal to learn Russian well I hope this video inspires you to learn Russian.
Is there a specific video you'd like to see on this channel? You can let me know here: forms.gle/83mFvEPWXNKbza4JA
"There was a cute Russian girl" - every guy who learned Russian
how frivolous
I'm learning Russian and there's no cute girl 🤔
@@uriellibano9244 you need to find one.
Because it is so often true 😁
Haha, there are like 75 million cute Russian girls
Congrats to all who understand the signs of the times and have learned or are learning Russian. When you're done, tackle Chinese, you'll never regret it.
I'm curious how current events will unfold.
Russian is already THE most sought after lingo after English in China. The Chinese know how to read the tealeaves.

Time will tell and the proof of the pudding is in the eating 😀.
Unfortunately we are not in soviet era anymore. More and more young people in post-soviet states like azerbaijan can't speak russian anymore. Russian was even spoken by many Chinese in soviet times due to Russias dominant economic role which is now also gone. For like almost 10 years Russian isn't taught in many school in Ukraine anymore. Instead the students should focus more on English. It kind of remind me of the baltic states where russian isn't also taught anymore.
I don't think Russian will gain much more popularity as in soviet times but I also don't think it will lose much more popularity.
I'm in complete agreement. Most people just don't know which way the wind is blowing
Russian is a language that, when you see its writing system, it can be intimidating, but once you hear a conversation or a story in it, whether on RUclips or anywhere else, and you listen to its sound, it becomes a contagious language. It's a language that captivates you, that once you try it, you become addicted to it because it envelops you and enchants you. In other words, you become completely infatuated with the language. Personally, I liked Russian and after hearing it several times, its fun and sexy voice made me fall in love with it, to the point that I started studying several languages including Chinese, Portuguese, English, French, Italian, and German. But out of all those seven languages, Russian is the one that has fascinated me the most. I'm attached to it and can't separate myself from it.
This is exactly how I feel about it (I’m learning Russian now - or trying to … at my age new knowledge doesn’t come easily). I was fascinated with it as a kid growing up during the Cold War, but really fell in love with the language from Russian metal and rock bands I listened to.
Спасибо братан, я родился в Минске но я переехал в Чикаго когда мне было восемь. Я щас начинаю потерять мою речь сложно когда ты разговаривал целый жизнь но никогда никогда не был в школе там. It’s so nice to see all of you so interested in our native language my I spent a lot of time growing up in Ukraine, and let me tell you that Ukrainian is even better somehow although most Russians will tell you, it’s like a redneck language “ деревянный язык”
But it s quite difficult 😅
Заебись, спасибо, приятно слышать такие слова от иностранцев!)
I got this huge grin on my face when he mentioned his girlfriend… I’m here thinking about learning Russian because of my half-Russian girlfriend. It’s as good a reason as any!
I’m learning Russian and this helped me a lot Спасибо друг
;)
you need to use , before "друг". I say it as a russian person. (p.s. I am learning English now. I am sorry about mistakes.
people dont realise how smart this guy is...he went from 0 to intermediate in 1 year...thats insane
Hi man, this is an awesome story. I have just started learning Russian after having been interested in the culture for a few years. Im listening to podcasts, netflix, and youtube at the moment- and putting key words and phrases into flashcards. Awesome to hear from someone who took a similar approach, hopefully I can reach your level one day😄
Thanks for your comment! Your approach sounds indeed a lot like mine. Are you regularly practicing conversations with a native speaker (either real life or on online platform)? That's the only thing I'd add to your routine.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage no not yet, i plan to do that in a few months though :)
how is your russian going?
I just told my wife I need a Russian side chick, but she's not very supportive 😕
Loved the story Ari! Reminds me of the interview we did together. You are one of the few people I can look to to draw inspiration from with learning Russian. PS: I saw you on Steve's channel, super cool! The guy is my hero! haha
Thanks Mark! Yeah we discussed our stories on your interview, that's true. I honestly can't fathom how he managed to learn so many languages haha. And the fact that he started Russian while he was 60 is also a great inspiration. I do prefer the approach of learning one language super well instead of getting upper beginner/intermediate in many, but you can't deny how much effort it took Steve to get to a conversational level in all his languages.
Russian is pretty hard, but now I have to get a girlfriend too?
Dang it, I should've stick with Spanish...
honestly getting a great girlfriend is way harder nowadays lol
@@Edgenucleartrash42 definitely way harder to find a committed girlfriend then learn a new language nowadays.
Очень милая история, всех благ создать крепкую семью
Hi Man, Great video. Spasiba from Kaliningrad
I got interested in Russian when I was in high school, a cute Russian girl who could speak English and Spanish. We dated for 6 months, we broke up but my interest for the language and the Russian culture remained. ❤
On Russian men the Russian accent sounds ghetto asf
That's a nice story Ari! God guided you all along!
I loved how you met your girlfriend, and was hoping that you two were still together. So I was really happy when you said that noise was her hair dryer and you're together :) May God bless you always!
This was good!!!! thank you and me Ari
Never expected the video, but at the same time I've been waiting forever😂
Haha, here it is!
Thank you! I'm following in your footsteps.
Good luck! Удачи!
hey brother, loved the story! could you please provide some shows / podcasts to check out? i have no idea where to start searching for these things.
I found the Keanu Reeves movie "Siberia" that has a fair amount of Russian in it, and the later seasons of Stranger Things has a good amount of Russian, but I cant seem to find any shows that have a lot of Russian. something that is like 70% Russian with some English would be perfect for me! I really enjoy having breaks from the subtitles it helps a lot with things not being overwhelming, though honestly I will take any and all suggestions.
also for podcasts, I'm quite interested in a lot of stuff so I'm not too picky, just some to start out with would be super cool!
thank you so much for your tips, i speak russian terribly but my situation is kind of different from most people I believe because I am a circassian who wants to repatriate to his own country, which is in russian federation. So in order to accomplish this dream of mine i MUST speak Russian language, it is just mandatory. I don't know how long it will take me because I also doubt my own language geeky skills a lot but your channel helps out big time. Very much appreciated)
If interested you may use some really productive videos. Just let me know.)
Glad to hear the channel is useful! Hope it works out for you :)
it's been a while since this comment. how is your russian? is it way better or you just dropped it?
@@Edgenucleartrash42hello, currently I am in Russia, and been here already for 4 months. Being inside the country and using the language in daily life undoubtedly accelerated the process for me, but I still wouldnt consider myself a proficient speaker. I never dropped studying and using the language, and right now I would say I am somewhere around B2 in the CEFR chart.
I am from Thailand and Thai is my native language and i got interested in Russian, i love the way words are pronounced and alphabet and also my friends are Russian and my favourite RUclipsr is Russian so i want to learn it😊
I wish to travel to Russia and meet more people😊
How's it going?
@@LearntheRussianLanguage it's going well, i am learning cases😆
I started learning russian 2 days ago and I all know a conversation
As a German who is listening to your video, when you say Dutch it always sounds as if you were saying Deutsch (German) to me, which is funny. 🤣 Thank you for sharing your journey!
Hey man, mad respect to you. You've got a great level it seems but what is your actual level? B2 or C1?
It seems I have B1 level (struggling to speak at that level I think), and I'm trying to compare to others.
I am not agree that being a polyglot with little basis (B1) instead of having just one language with a very high level (C1) suck
Depending on your strategy
I remember spending lot of time learning german, which is a hard language, but on the other hand learning spanish, portugues, italian, etc... I also started russian 2 years ago. It was a great decision to start other languages on the side. Because you see yourself improving everyday instead of dying on one "super hard language".
Right now, it's true that it took me more time to master any of them (I am still in the learning process) but I am more happy to say that I speak
French (native), english (C1), german (B2), spanish (C1), portugues (B1), russian (B1), italian (B1) which is 7 languages
Than just
French, english and german on a high level (C1) which is only 3
Yes, it definitely depends on your goals. And I think it can be done, but it requires a rare type of personality and lifestyle.
You are such a great inspiration! Just a question, when u say u listened to podcasts did u learn from it, even tho u didnt understand everything? Or did already understand much when u stared listening to russian podcasts? Im learning for 6 months now and i only understand about 50% of podcasts, does it make sene to listen anyway or are podcasts and series without subtiles more something for advanced learners? Thx, sorry for the long question :)
When I say podcasts I mainly mean audiolessons like the 'language learning' ones from Russianpod101, Michel Thomas Russian and similar. Only later I could start to listen to real podcasts. If you're learning for only 6 months, and you can already understand 50%, you're doing great!
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Thank you very much for your answer! My understanding is way better than my speaking tho, really have to work on that :)
It’s funny because I decided to learn Russian on my own as an American purely out of intrigue and then met my Russian girlfriend through learning Russian 😅
Oh my God! I’m Russian and I’m impressed that you speak without an accent! That’s cool! Удачи во всех начинаниях)
so everything I need to learn Russian is to find a cute Russian girl?
that seems very hard I can't even talk to native girls of my country imagine to ones that speaks Russian
I started learning Russian 3 months ago. My native language is Afrikaans - which you should know is basically 90% Dutch 😂 Also statted dating a Russian woman about 6 months ago which sparked my interest.
I am doing the RedKalinka course online which is really helpful in terms of grammar and sentence construction. I have a very good memory when it comes to languages and words, but for some reason I struggle quite a lot sometimes to speak it. Reading and writing for me is much easier ! And also it's really difficult to understand Native speakers because they speak REALLY fast 😂 but I know with more practice I should get better at speaking and understanding Native speakers.
Thanks dor the inspiring video ! It shows that anyone can learn something if they really want to.
I'm thinking of starting the red kanlinka course, please give your honest opinion as someone that would love to learn russian enough in say 3 months
Здравствуйте. Просто было интересно послушать Вашу историю.
Рад слышать что история была интересна)
I am learning Russian too, while travelling through Asia. I love to visit the places with many Russians. Bali, Sri Lanka, Nha-Trang, Phuket. I met many cute Russian girls last two years.
It's not about how fast you learn it. It's about learning it.
Мне нравился твоё видио. Ты мне дал мотивация чтобы продолжать мои изучение на русскому языку.
Спасибо большое! Удачи))
Да мне тоже. Каждый день я учу новый слова. И теперь я забудь о них. Ну нечего страшного. Это сталь лучше, но я не перестаю его совершенствовать!
Забудь". Это означает " надо забыть",. Наверно ты имел ввиду " забыл"
Мне нравится(тут проверить можно задав вопрос к слову видео что делает? нравился отвечает на вопрос что делал т.е прошедшее время ) твоё видео. Ты мне дал мотивации* чтобы продолжать мои изучение русскому языку.
Wow, we basically have similar ideas, it's been 1 year since i began russian, now i play games in Russian, podcasts,music and movies, the problem is just finding good sources of Russian media
Check out the youtube channel StarMediaEN. They have a lot of nice series in Russian with English subtitles.
Wie gehts dir? Ich lerne gerade russisch und ich suche nach Motivation. Und du hilfst mir sehr!!! Danke :)
Danke schön. Aber ich bin ein Holländer und mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut :)
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Ok nicht schlimm :)
Wenn Du noch Motivation brauchst, dann schreib mir. Vielleicht kann ich Dir helfen. Ich bin aus St. Petersburg und unterrichte Russisch in Dänemark.
@@ludmilasorensen6345 Das ist ein echt nettes Angebot, lebe aber 12 Stunden von dir entfernt. Tut mir leid :(
Aber danke fürs angebot
@@ludmilasorensen6345
In conclusion tips on how you learn Russian as fast as you did, was because you recorded yourself and listen to the recordings. And then a brief summary of what motivated you was because you met a girl who was Russian, and this motivated you having a purpose and learning the language, and traveling to Russia. I enjoyed your story and it gave me more insight on how European grow up and their life as well as their young adult stages. And this is referring to opportunity to travel to so many countries with so many cultures and languages as frequently as are needed.
Where you guys learn Russian? On preply?
did you ever study grammar or did it just come naturally? Idk whether or not i should study grammar in the beginning or just focus on building vocabulary
Yeah I did study grammar - mainly with the help of audio courses.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage ok thank you
Hi bro, can you recommend any interesting podcast channel for beginner/elemantary level?
Russian with max. He has a RUclips channel and a podcast. I like the podcast more.
Yeah Russian with Max, or Russianpod101.
Ich habe mit vier oder sechs Jahren angefangen Deutsch zu sprechen. Meine Lehrer waren sehr beeindruckt, wie fließend ich Deutsch sprach
Das is sehr gut! Mein Deutch is nicht so gut, ich sprache niederlands))
Ahh girls….not the first time they have made a guy learn a language😂
Speaking in English, the Dutchman who already learned Dutch and English says to us. I was never good with languages. 😒 There is only one language in all of Australia.
You’re right. He got lucky, and since you didn’t, you’ll probably never speak another language… might as well just give up now!
Hopefully that irked you a bit. The point is you can always give reasons why you CAN’T do something, but with consistency and patience I promise you it’s possible :)
Good video, but it needs timestamps.
Do this to get to the point of this video FAST! skip to the last 10 seconds. He says, "Record yourself speaking russian". That's the whole tip. The rest of the story is how it took 2 years of practice to get to the fast learning

Did you say that you spent 5200 hours initially...?
heard that too, but I think he meant "50 to 100 hours" not "52 hundred"
@@subday5811 🤦♂️😂
но в принципе, если ты хочешь свободно говорить по-русски, найди себе подругу/парень, навести ее/его родителей и выучи такие слова, как самогон хаха
Хаха в приципе так и было))
Нет войне
i found your story very interesting but why didn't u complete it, did u guys get married or what hahahaha im sure many people are curious about that now...
i would suggest learning the alphabet of russian first
🇹🇭❤️🇷🇺
You speak English with a Russian accent, not a dutch one!🤔
TLDW...
You make many mistakes… нУ ты козел, а не нО… and then in the beginning when you say: говорить о чем-то… мы так не говорим… We say something like: поговорим о чем-то… или предлагаю обсудить… so, you are not fluent in Russian…
"fluent" does not mean "perfect"

"a fluent speaker and writer on technical subjects"
