Tell that to my wife. I have been studying russian for 3 years now but has no one to practice at home with cos she finds it awful. Ps: she speaks fluently portuguese, english, french, spanish and italian.
The ultimate secret: Fall in love with your high school russian teacher! (He said that once) I really think that his "simple" russian helps breaking barriers with the locals. If he engaged people with a perfect wording, grammar and accent, he would probbaly not bind that easily One thing is sure, don't be shy to talk, even with mistakes
Haha, I've missed him say that. Yeah, for videos his Russian is great. His level of Russian gives him an innocent vibe, and otherwise I think he could be quite intimidating to locals if he'd speak Russian perfectly.
I wonder if bald himself saw this video. As a Russian native you made some good points. He is able to communicate in any circumstances but not to adequately express himself. That being said I still love all his videos and I respect him for learning the language in the first place. Mostly when he is rude it’s in a funny way and not an insulting one.
It would be interesting to hear what he things about the video. I'm sure we could have an interesting talk about the Russian language and culture together.
Честно говоря потрясающе говоришь. Я конечно на слух понимаю, что русский для тебя не родной, но в некоторых фразах это практически невозможно определить
Ari (I hope I got your name right), I absolutely love how you do the subtitles here. Large, oversized Cyrillic and smaller font for the English underneath. Genius! So practical!!!
Привет, I'm French, i learn Russian since 3 years ( 3 weeks after falling in love with a Russian woman ) and these videos from Bald and Bankrupt inspired me. I met my girlfriend just before Coronavirus so we had to wait for a new encounter, and when some borders were open for us except in Russia ( no Europeans allowed), we met in Ouzbékistan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaïdjan, and i spoke there in Russian everyday... Little words at the beginning and complete phrases today, like Mr BALD. I focused on words, some very little grammar just when i wanted to have a headache, and after one year of smartphone apps and Books, i switched to mangas and anime. You can find all this in Russian. The best manga for me is Пять невест , it's for girls, i know, but it uses a good everyday language, and for anime ?.. why not Аттак на титанов, или, Пять невест 😆 You have a lot of choice.. И сейчас я могу говорить по-русски каждый день, с моя любимая 🥰.
6:47 Very important point! I've been learning Russian for 10 months now, so I'm going to be visiting a Russian-speaking country in the next few months. I'm nervous but very excited to try out my skills! 😁
Thank you very much. I'd love to visit Russia and will somehow keep that dream alive. For a Western European, an investment in learning Cyrillic is wise and simple - at least you can read the street/shop/metro signs. I speak German very well but it deteriorates rapidly if I'm out of the country. We have to forgive B&B for not being perfect.
Let's hope it will soon be possible again. Do you spend some time watching German series, or reading the language? Speaking is of course ideal to not make it detoriate, but that's not always possible. If he'd be perfect, his videos wouldn't be as fun to watch.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage I lived in Germany a few times, and work with Germans. From my peripheral (Ukraine, Bulgaria) experience, understanding Cyrillic at least lets you orientate yourself. First time, I couldn't read it. The polite words & greetings are first on my list to learn, then counting, supermarket conversation etc. One thing I never do is to mention politics in a foreign country, but B&B has the charisma to get away with it. Thank you again for the videos, which I'll have to play at 0.5x, so I can read along.
Cyrillic and basic Russian is useful (it also allows you to use Russian apps like Yandex maps, trains, taxi, weather which are more accurate in Russia. Yandex is the instant knowledge of public transport). In fact, I'd advise to get to at least A2 at Russian if you want to explore Russia out of guided, escorted tours. As for German - elder Russians (e.g. my grandparents) speak basic German as a foreign language if anything.
As long as you can conjugate your verbs correctly, it is perfectly possible to speak Russian without cases. Yes your speech will be ugly and it will not sound 'correct' but if you just want to travel to Russia and have a good time, you don't need the cases. Benjamin is spot on in his approach, the average Russian doesn't speak a single word of English, and travelling there can be very challenging for people who don't speak the language, especially outside of Moscow / St Petersburg. Broken Russian is 10000x better than not speaking Russian at all
Whether or not studying grammar makes sense, unfortunately I hate it so much (probably from my bad experience at school where it was just so freaking boring) that I simply decided to stop it.. otherwise I wouldn't be learning languages anymore. However I understand your point that for studying Russian learning a certain amount of grammar makes sense. Your videos definitely help!
Everyone picks up a certain amount of grammar just by speaking. It's just at a certain point, spending 5 hours on grammar would be worth more than 50 hours of more speaking.
Молодец, всё правильно говоришь. В России не многие знают английский на приемлемом уровне, но почти всегда хорошо относимся к иностранцам, которые хоть как-то пытаются сказать или спросить на нашем языке. Стесняться не надо, это точно. Сказал я, стесняясь своего уровня английского языка)) Если что, фразу "я хочу видеть Москву" правильнее будет сказать "я хочу увидеть Москву" или "я хочу посмотреть Москву"😉

I can totally confirm, that if you want to learn to converse in any foreign language, you need to get out of your introvert bubble, and befriend native speakers of whatevet language you are trying to learn.
From what Ben has said in various videos, he has not spent the last 30 years continuously learning and speaking Russian. In a video with Roman NFKRZ, IIRC, he said that he had spent a lot of his life in the UK working on building sites and the construction industry, and he also spent a few years in India travelling and running a backpackers' hostel there. Whilst in India, he learned to speak the local language (Hindi I think). So he may have had considerably long periods in his life where he was not practising his Russian and maybe not even reading or writing it or revising and relearning existing Russian knowledge.
Я заметил что вы сказали: " К сожалению, русская грамматика сложна". Лучше был сказать: " русская грамматика сложная". Кроме этого, все прекрасно!!! Я начал изучать русский язык в 2018 году, и в тот период мне не понравился этот язык потому что мне было трудно запомнить много правилах. И моя учительница советовала мне говорить с правильной грамматикой. Это было невозможно потому что мой мозг работает над акцентом и другими акпестом русского языка. Мне было стыдно, поэтому Я почти решил останавливаться изучать русский язык. Но к счастью, во время картина, Я нашел несколько видео на русском языке и они поделились что для начинающих русского языка, нам нужно выучить много слов. Это совет даёт мне говорить больше и больше хотя был Я мог делать много ошибок. Сейчас я могу понимать вас довольно прекрасно. Я знаю что мне надо сфокусироваться на грамматику. Да, буду заниматься серьезно. Не останавливайтесь! Если долго мучиться, что-нибудь получится!
Большое спасибо за ваш комментарий. Да, жаль что учителя так много внимания уделяют грамматике в начале. Слова гораздо важнее. Эта поговорка мне тоже очень нравится!.

Ben didn't "study Russian for 30 years" 🤦♂️ It has been 30 yrs since he picked it up. I studied English in school, but that doesn't mean I've been studying for 24 years.
I agree with you that he didn't study it for all that time. But your English is good, and Ben's Russian could've just been so much better had he prioritized it a bit more.
I follow Benjamin since 1996.... Okay okay. Perhaps not that long. But he is cool 🙂 Wish I could just go there like he does but for the Dutch that is unfortunately impossible. Only Extremely expensive organized trips. If anyone knows another way than please please please tell me.
If I recall correctly it's possible to go to Russia by flying through Turkey from Schiphol. Though I'm not sure if I would recommend that with the current situation.
In Russia there are a lot of labor immigrants from poorer post soviet countries, many of them don't know Russian well, but even if they mess all the grammar, people understand them anyway, it's really common and Russians are ok with this.
Бенджамин прежде всего хорош тем, что умеет прекрасно находить контакт с почти любыми людьми, это его главный талант. К тому же он не боится заезжать в места куда мало кто поедет. Поэтому смотреть его очень интересно. Когда слушаешь его русский, понимаешь, что он, конечно, говорит не идеально, но у него всё выходит невероятно естественно и на ошибки почти не обращаешь внимания, он как-то умеет заразить своим обаянием и энергией любого собеседника и знание языка становится второстепенным. Кстати, если ты знаешь, Ари, его недавно выслали из России по какой-то странной причине...очень жаль. Надеюсь темные времена пройдут и скоро все люди, любящие Россию и русский язык, смогут туда вернуться.
Да, он так прекрасно находит контакт! Я посмотрел его интервью с полицией. И да, надеюсь что скоро все это пройдет. Я уже почти 3 года не был в России.
There are several different aspects of verb conjugation, so it depends on what exactly you struggle with. But in general I suggest you learn how to conjugate regular main -ать and -ить verbs ( e.g. работать and говорить). Then it's a matter of incorporating them into your speaking practice. And then you just need to learn more verbs, and listen to correct spoken Russian to develop an intuition for them.
The best lesson that a Russian language learner can get is that he does not need to study it himself. You need to come to Moscow, enroll in the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University and learn Russian there under the guidance of experienced teachers. You will spend much less time and money on this. . You don't have to thank me for the advice.
@@nobodyqwertyu If you're from some Western country and you don't have a vital need to overthrow Putin right now, you're no less safe in Russia than in your own country.

Mr Bald spent a lot of time in 🇮🇳. He is a pragmatic person, he would probably learn many languages to a decent level rather than perfecting one, so learning Russian for 30 years is alright considering that he is also learning Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, etc. It took me forever to learn English (it's only when i moved to an English -speaking country that my command of the language grew and more importantly "ramained". We can also forget a language over time if we don't use it. I understand Mr. Bald had a Belarusian chick (to use his word) and therefore he may have been some time alone while he was bankrupt (everybody knows that Russian chicks come with a price tag 😂 just joking of course... hmmm it applies to all chicks 😂) I enjoyed trying to understand the sounds of another language. It takes time to get it. I could never figure out how good his Russian sounded, let alone if he had a strong accent. But I never found him impolite or rude. He is a true gentleman!
У тебя прекрасный уровень владения языком. Есть не большие пробелы в ударениях и произношении, но в целом, у тебя однозначно С1 есть. То есть ты фактически носитель, с мелкими огрехами. В общем, говоришь по русски, почти как украинец ))))))
Знаете, в чем скрытое преимущество наличия спряжений для каждого местоимения? Вы можете использовать глаголы БЕЗ местоимения, в отличие от германских языков, в которых использование местоимения обязательно. Например, если сказать "Going", то непонятно, кто или что идёт или едет. Русское "Иду" или "Еду" сразу определяет совершающего действие и способ передвижения. И таких примеров по этому принципу можно привести много. А как филолога, свободно говорящего на английском, меня очень раздражает, что в английском у повелительного наклонении нет специальных окончаний в словах.

I'm from the Netherlands. And I learned it from a large combination of sources and practices. it's not free, but I explain everything in my course the Russian Conversational Blueprint :)
... learning a foreign language takes time and effort so if you decide to study a new language take courses of English or Spanish or maybe Mandarin ...
I've been living in Russia for 3 years without speaking Russian and I have worked and lived normally here. It is important to speak this language of course but you can live without it anyway.
I'm been learning russian at the side for 4 months now, before I used to study everyday and I got burned out, now I'm leaning it via songs, 'cuz I already know cases, but Honestly, I'm kinda lost, I'm starting to get to those long frases and i'm just... Tired? Of reading it, thinking in it, and all that. Если честно, Я интерес потерял, многие вещи в русском только... Нет смысла. И я себя потерял.
You're doing a good job learning through songs, because it takes the pressure off. I recommend you also watch series and movies. It also helps to see Russian as just a hobby that you do because you enjoy it. Nothing bad is going to happen if you don't make progress quickly. The moment you let go of wanting to progress fast, is when it becomes more engaging. And then suddenly you're progressing faster.
Die ding is dat Benjamin praat die zelfde as die meeste mense in Rusland. Ek woon in Rusland in die stad van Ulan-Ude en meeste mensen praat nie goeie Russies hulle maak baie foute and floek en dis hoe mense van Siberia en baie Plekke in Rusland praat en Jy's reg dat Jy gramatikal praat. Maar dis ongelukkig dat nie soe is. Baie mense in Rusland het n ideal form van Russies en hoe dit op n' voetstuk maar n my mening is dit nie die waarheid nie . Die ideel wat mense dink Russies is en wat Russies nou is is nie die selfde nie. Benjamin praat soos gewone russe en ongelikke word daardie form van die meeste gebruikte.Jammer om dit te se!!!!!!
Now, you start learning Spanish young man! Just kidding. I can't even pick up a third language. I struggle enough with just Russian and Swedish. That and I have school and other obligations. Maybe down the road in the next 3-4 years.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Si.I know a bit of Spanish but no too much. I love Spanish horror movies though, Rec, Orphanage, and Julia's eyes were pretty good. Espanol peliculas.
У Бальда очень плохой русский язык, и понять его можно с трудом. Только в простых ситуациях он изъясняется более-менее. Зато он очень коммуникабелен, это факт.
Here is what I learned about Russian language. When someone says "what? I'm just hanging out near your house doing excercise" it means "I'm getting ready to break into your house". When he says "I'm just defending myself" it means "you need to defend yourself" When he says "yes of course, I'm telling the truth" it means "yes of course, I'm lying to your face" After that I really don't want to learn anything else about Russia.
The EU, Germany and the USA funded a coup to overthrow a democratically elected president in 2014 - that’s when the war and all the trouble started. Learn both languages, they are both Slavs. It is a great tragedy that they are fighting each other.
It's too early to see what the long-term results will be. From my experience right now, I've been able to communicate with a lot of Ukrainian people here in the Netherlands in Russian. But it's hard to imagine what it will be in the future.
It's not true at all. Moreover about 1/3 rd population of Ukraine are Russian speakers. So I don't think anything is gonna change. Moreover Russian can be understood in most of the USSR countries but that's not possible in the case of Ukraine. War and Language these are two different things. If someone wanna learn Ukrainian bcoz of this war then I would call him a foolish. Any person with a normal brain unless he has a reason to learn Ukrainian would consider Russian as the first choice. That's my verdict.
sorry buddy, nobody wants to learn your language, stop the war, take the mobsters out of power, fix the country, show me the good part of your culture, then we can be friends.
The good parts of my culture are tolerance, work ethic and of course flowers. But then I'm Dutch. I understand what you're talking about though. I honestly wish that this conflict never happened, and hope it ends soon.

If anyone knows another way than please please please tell me.
If I recall correctly it's possible to go to Russia by flying through Turkey from Schiphol. Though I'm not sure if I would recommend that with the current situation.
About Benny Boy... Bald n not so Bankrupt... very true. He's got other priorities I think, lol. Eg. Chasin' tail.
cool video! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
In Russia there are a lot of labor immigrants from poorer post soviet countries, many of them don't know Russian well, but even if they mess all the grammar, people understand them anyway, it's really common and Russians are ok with this.
Yeah I remember watching some TNT sketch in which they made fun of their accents.
Бенджамин прежде всего хорош тем, что умеет прекрасно находить контакт с почти любыми людьми, это его главный талант. К тому же он не боится заезжать в места куда мало кто поедет. Поэтому смотреть его очень интересно. Когда слушаешь его русский, понимаешь, что он, конечно, говорит не идеально, но у него всё выходит невероятно естественно и на ошибки почти не обращаешь внимания, он как-то умеет заразить своим обаянием и энергией любого собеседника и знание языка становится второстепенным. Кстати, если ты знаешь, Ари, его недавно выслали из России по какой-то странной причине...очень жаль. Надеюсь темные времена пройдут и скоро все люди, любящие Россию и русский язык, смогут туда вернуться.
Да, он так прекрасно находит контакт! Я посмотрел его интервью с полицией. И да, надеюсь что скоро все это пройдет. Я уже почти 3 года не был в России.
По странной причине? Незаконное проникновение на закрытую территорию? Законы страны нужно уважать.
They are not letting you in too? Why?
@@alexandramccarthy4648 What do you mean?
@@sergiusspb this question was to the channel owner because he said he hasn't been to Russia for 3 years.
Awesome video :)
Any advice on how to learn conjugated verbs easier?
There are several different aspects of verb conjugation, so it depends on what exactly you struggle with. But in general I suggest you learn how to conjugate regular main -ать and -ить verbs ( e.g. работать and говорить). Then it's a matter of incorporating them into your speaking practice. And then you just need to learn more verbs, and listen to correct spoken Russian to develop an intuition for them.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Yep, just in general. Thanks man.
grammar can be learned through pattern recognition, which you would learn wrong from Bald and Bankrupt
Yeah pattern recognition is best done by listening to native speakers.
The best lesson that a Russian language learner can get is that he does not need to study it himself. You need to come to Moscow, enroll in the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University and learn Russian there under the guidance of experienced teachers. You will spend much less time and money on this. . You don't have to thank me for the advice.
I'm not sure if that is possible for me right now due to the war.
@@nobodyqwertyu If you're from some Western country and you don't have a vital need to overthrow Putin right now, you're no less safe in Russia than in your own country.
I did this in Germany rosetta stone & just talked to people all time even if i got teased and learned derogatory words etc. so i knew if someone was talking badly about me.
Any program + plenty of talking is a great combination. How did you manage the German cases?
@@LearntheRussianLanguage I learned conversational german within 6 months. Kinder Deutsche i called it. Learning medical & financial was a bit more difficult. The 3 thes der die & das complicated. Because it can change a word completely if you use the wrong one.
@@ubermensch8627 I can imagine that financial and medical German was more difficult. Is your native language English?
@@LearntheRussianLanguage yes. American. My twin lives in Germany 🇩🇪 and i moved there for a few years. Sadly i am back in America!! Europe is nice especially Eastern Europe ppl are nice & gorgeous women!!! American woman are obese ! And unfaithful lol 😂
@@LearntheRussianLanguage i really want to learn Russian though as my mother is 85% russky & rest balkan. My father slavic Czechoslovakian when it was 1 country.
yahoo,Super- that is well ~ Learn! )
Thanks!
Mr Bald spent a lot of time in 🇮🇳. He is a pragmatic person, he would probably learn many languages to a decent level rather than perfecting one, so learning Russian for 30 years is alright considering that he is also learning Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, etc.
It took me forever to learn English (it's only when i moved to an English -speaking country that my command of the language grew and more importantly "ramained". We can also forget a language over time if we don't use it. I understand Mr. Bald had a Belarusian chick (to use his word) and therefore he may have been some time alone while he was bankrupt (everybody knows that Russian chicks come with a price tag 😂 just joking of course... hmmm it applies to all chicks 😂)
I enjoyed trying to understand the sounds of another language. It takes time to get it. I could never figure out how good his Russian sounded, let alone if he had a strong accent. But I never found him impolite or rude. He is a true gentleman!
У тебя прекрасный уровень владения языком. Есть не большие пробелы в ударениях и произношении, но в целом, у тебя однозначно С1 есть. То есть ты фактически носитель, с мелкими огрехами. В общем, говоришь по русски, почти как украинец ))))))
"я хочу видеть Москву" is also incorrect. Better to say "я хочу увидеть Москву"
That's true, thanks!
@@LearntheRussianLanguage No no.. better say... Я поддерживаю демократию. И Россия не должна убивать невинных мирных жителей суверенных государств.
Знаете, в чем скрытое преимущество наличия спряжений для каждого местоимения? Вы можете использовать глаголы БЕЗ местоимения, в отличие от германских языков, в которых использование местоимения обязательно.
Например, если сказать "Going", то непонятно, кто или что идёт или едет. Русское "Иду" или "Еду" сразу определяет совершающего действие и способ передвижения. И таких примеров по этому принципу можно привести много.
А как филолога, свободно говорящего на английском, меня очень раздражает, что в английском у повелительного наклонении нет специальных окончаний в словах.
Да, спряжение сильно помогает ясности языка)
Продолжай свой канал!)... Поработай над ударением ПадежИ- ударение на И, стрАнах, по этим стрАнам, в разные стрАны, стыдА.Общаться- мягче щ, там не ща, произноситься как щя_ мягко. Но у нас правило, что щя, чя не пишется. Пишется ща, ча, а произносится - щя, чя с Я
Спасибо большое за советы. Да ударения и щ две сложные вещи на русском)
@@LearntheRussianLanguage потому что у нас есть буква "Я, она мягкая и Е, мягкие... Все что пишется Ча Ща- читается как Чя Щя... И наоборот Жи Ши.. читается как ЖЫ, ШЫ- не мягко....А от ударения иногда ( редко) меняется смысл. Как в словах: писАть и пИсать... А для нас так же странен английский))).... Ну, никак не привыкнуть, что "А это "Эй!! 🤦♀️ И все в таком духе).. Привет и Санкт-Петербурга, соседи)
Where did you learnt russian and where are you from please?😊
I'm from the Netherlands. And I learned it from a large combination of sources and practices. it's not free, but I explain everything in my course the Russian Conversational Blueprint :)
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Very interesting. I couldn't hear any sort of Dutch accent in your Russian
... learning a foreign language takes time and effort so if you decide to study a new language take courses of English or Spanish or maybe Mandarin ...
I've been living in Russia for 3 years without speaking Russian and I have worked and lived normally here. It is important to speak this language of course but you can live without it anyway.
Yes, more and more Russians are learning English. You're also probably in a big city?
больше, чем брат👍👍👍
Jesus, man, how many cats do you have? All of them? 😆
Haha, just 2. But they tend to end up in the video, as I live in a relatively small apartment.
I'm been learning russian at the side for 4 months now, before I used to study everyday and I got burned out, now I'm leaning it via songs, 'cuz I already know cases, but Honestly, I'm kinda lost, I'm starting to get to those long frases and i'm just... Tired? Of reading it, thinking in it, and all that. Если честно, Я интерес потерял, многие вещи в русском только... Нет смысла. И я себя потерял.
You're doing a good job learning through songs, because it takes the pressure off. I recommend you also watch series and movies.
It also helps to see Russian as just a hobby that you do because you enjoy it. Nothing bad is going to happen if you don't make progress quickly. The moment you let go of wanting to progress fast, is when it becomes more engaging. And then suddenly you're progressing faster.
падежАх, мнОжественный.
более правильно было бы "я хочу увидеть Москву "
Die ding is dat Benjamin praat die zelfde as die meeste mense in Rusland. Ek woon in Rusland in die stad van Ulan-Ude en meeste mensen praat nie goeie Russies hulle maak baie foute and floek en dis hoe mense van Siberia en baie
Plekke in Rusland praat en Jy's reg dat Jy gramatikal praat. Maar dis ongelukkig dat nie soe is. Baie mense in Rusland het n ideal form van Russies en hoe dit op n' voetstuk maar n my mening is dit nie die waarheid nie . Die ideel wat mense dink Russies is en wat Russies nou is is nie die selfde nie. Benjamin praat soos gewone russe en ongelikke word daardie form van die meeste gebruikte.Jammer om dit te se!!!!!!
At 6:39 you have literally 0 accent. Impressive.
Now, you start learning Spanish young man! Just kidding. I can't even pick up a third language. I struggle enough with just Russian and Swedish. That and I have school and other obligations. Maybe down the road in the next 3-4 years.
Ablo un poquito espanol. Pero no mucho. Vivia por un ano en Madrid. Learning 2 languages at the same is just difficult!
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Si.I know a bit of Spanish but no too much. I love Spanish horror movies though, Rec, Orphanage, and Julia's eyes were pretty good. Espanol peliculas.
Я немного выучил русский так, как я описал в этом видео.

Very inteteresting and logical approach!
You look kinda slavic
Funny thing is I've only heard that from people after they figured out I started to learn Russian, so maybe there's a bit of projection going on.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Well I am quite familiar with Slavic features, and you have them as well as some kind of Germanic features too.
У Бальда очень плохой русский язык, и понять его можно с трудом. Только в простых ситуациях он изъясняется более-менее. Зато он очень коммуникабелен, это факт.
Он точно коммуникабелен, но для человека, который учит русский уже так долго, можно было больше ожидать)
Here is what I learned about Russian language. When someone says "what? I'm just hanging out near your house doing excercise" it means "I'm getting ready to break into your house".
When he says "I'm just defending myself" it means "you need to defend yourself"
When he says "yes of course, I'm telling the truth" it means "yes of course, I'm lying to your face"
After that I really don't want to learn anything else about Russia.
Really? You were quite unlucky then :)
Yep. Not invading with 150k soldiers on the border.... oh wait, you made us invade because you said we would. Ooops.
@@jakehone and what it has to do with language? People lied in all languages, and generate streams of nonsense in every known language every day.
what a shame bald ended up being a crook - taking advantage of young girls
But now everyone wants to learn Ukrainian and are not even considering learning Russian…. So there’s that.
The EU, Germany and the USA funded a coup to overthrow a democratically elected president in 2014 - that’s when the war and all the trouble started. Learn both languages, they are both Slavs. It is a great tragedy that they are fighting each other.
It's too early to see what the long-term results will be. From my experience right now, I've been able to communicate with a lot of Ukrainian people here in the Netherlands in Russian. But it's hard to imagine what it will be in the future.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage Ukrainians are usually bilingual in Russian and Ukrainian, since they were forced to learn Russian during Soviet occupation.
@@jakehone But now the Russian speaking Ukrainians are forced to learn Ukrainian. The Russian language is forbidden in Ukrain
It's not true at all.
Moreover about 1/3 rd population of Ukraine are Russian speakers. So I don't think anything is gonna change.
Moreover Russian can be understood in most of the USSR countries but that's not possible in the case of Ukraine.
War and Language these are two different things.
If someone wanna learn Ukrainian bcoz of this war then I would call him a foolish. Any person with a normal brain unless he has a reason to learn Ukrainian would consider Russian as the first choice.
That's my verdict.
sorry buddy, nobody wants to learn your language, stop the war, take the mobsters out of power, fix the country, show me the good part of your culture, then we can be friends.
The good parts of my culture are tolerance, work ethic and of course flowers. But then I'm Dutch.
I understand what you're talking about though. I honestly wish that this conflict never happened, and hope it ends soon.
@@LearntheRussianLanguage your comment gives me hope, thank you and sorry for my rude one.
YES!!!!! Exactly!!!
speak for yourself please my fellow foreign comrade and your life will become easier
@@wrongIQ may your federation collapse, and may your people be free of tyranny, and if they choose it again, may you never have the power to invade another nation again.
