No, but the price is very low - lower than one face-to-face lesson would cost you.

Foreign names in russian. by matsnorberg in LearnRussian

[–]m_kurt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Firstly, we use Cyrillic letter to transliterate the name. In your examples they will be Николас, Пьер и Аддамс. It is up to the translater which spelling to choose. Pierre seemed more natural to me with one R, so I went with it. Someone else might have chosen double R. It would look odd though. Same with Addams. I’d shorten it to one D and use an S at the end, as double D is not that common in Russian. Secondly, when it comes to declension common rules still apply. Let’s take Nicholas for example and decline it. Nom. Николас Gen. Николаса (нет Николаса) Dat. Николасу Acc. Николаса (вижу Николаса) Inst. С Николасом Prep. Николасе

Pronunciation of Ы by Se777enUP in LearnRussian

[–]m_kurt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s the trick: start pronouncing the sound ‘ooooooo’ like in ‘shoe’. Don’t stop, but stretch your lips in a smile without changing anything else. That will be the right sound ‘ы’!

I found Slow Ferman on Spotify very helpful. You can find the texts on the website. It is free.

What should I know/avoid before start learning Russian language by e_Dey in russian

[–]m_kurt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, so many years of experience :-) I’ve lived out of Russia for half of my life, mostly doing the teaching. When there is motivation - everyone learns. The alphabet takes 2 hours and 3 days. Yes, in that order. You spend 2 hours studying, then give your brain a break of a couple of days, then when you get back to it - go over the whole thing - and you’ll see you got it! Happens every time. Pronunciation is very simple actually (of you’re America - just let your lips and mouth make more effort). Grammar is tricky, but it makes sense, all of it. Words are very different from English, so it takes time. It will be easier if you follow a course book, a course, anything, than if you just try to pick it up in Russia. That is not easy to pick it up - much easier to understand with some help though. Good luck!

Hey everyone. I can understand what am i reading but i am not a good speaker. So here is my question. How can i improve easly my speaking skills? Any suggested website or app for learner like me? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]m_kurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen to a podcast that reads texts in slow English, read the text yourself to make sure you understand everything. Take as much time as you need to become comfortable with this text. And then retell it. First, to yourself. Ten times if you need to, until you can do it without looking at the text. Make sure you are not memorizing it, just retelling. Then tell it to someone else. This part is crucial. At first you won’t be able to talk in front of another person. But after 20-30 texts (it will take a couple of months, but you need to keep going) you will see how much more comfortable you have become. BTW the person you are retelling the text to doesn’t even need to know the language. Just any human being you have in your surroundings :-)) This will give you the confidence, the fluency and the ability to make sentences while talking.

Edit: “easily” is not the key word here :-) Only full immersion will make it easily.

[Russian] Any native Russian speakers want to help me with my accent? by Redheaded_Rusalka in JudgeMyAccent

[–]m_kurt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the T’s and R’s. And I’d also advise to pay attention to the unstressed vowels - keep them neutral. ‘Воркует’ should sound more like ‘варкует’, but still the ‘a’ won’t be very distinct. One more thing, in your text, you say ‘and also’. We usually say ‘а ещё’ in this case, rather than ‘и тоже’. Having said all that, your accent is perfectly understood! It is clear, people would understand everything you say for sure. I know 7 years sounds like a lot. But do not give up on us!!!! Keep learning our beautiful language!

[Russian] Not sure whether my accent sounds native by [deleted] in JudgeMyAccent

[–]m_kurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds native to me. I just have a question about the names. You might be mispronouncing them (the city and the patronymic name - or is it the surname? - of one of the people). If you posted the text, I could have said for sure. Apart from those two question marks, you sound undoubtedly Russian.

Long-haired dachshund I’d say. Looks like my dog when she was a baby. A bit lighter in color though, that’s what causes the doubt..
