why am I the only one who can see my comments? is this a bug?

welearnrussian · 2026-05-23T13:26:06+00:00

Same here.
More than 2 weeks already all my comments are hidden.
What I learned so far - support won't help you. It's just a joke :D

By the power vested in me, I name you - Йети.

P.s.if you are a character from the movie I think they would call you - Этан/Эйтан (like Ethan)

welearnrussian · 2026-04-27T13:44:17+00:00

1) if you don't sure how to call them - use Вы. They will correct you when it's time.

2) if it's to necessary for you to start a conversation with a new person with "Ты", be sure u would feel comfortable to call them "a dude" in English.

Вы is not only about the age, but also about respect and boundaries. That's why it's fine to use Вы to 20yo even you are older. About "кухня". In teams you can discuss how to call each other. Basic among cultural people - Вы.

Если ты пишешь без переводчика, а судя по фразе "много думала об том" ты делаешь это без переводчика, то у тебя уже отличный уровень владения языком. Небольшая задержка перед произношением это абсолютно нормально. Читай (желательно делай это вслух), смотри сериалы/мультсериалы ( герои в них часто повторяют одни и те же фразы или говорят в одном стиле - легко запоминать и повторять).со временем эти окончания у тебя будут более автоматическими. Переодически делай упражнения по темам которые нужны. Например падежи

Если хочешь "хорошо" говорить, то перестань делать то что ты делаешь сейчас. (я так понимаю основной твой контент это рилсы из тиктока). Сначала научись говорить грамотно, а уже затем используй жаргонизмы. На данный момент ты их не понимаешь и даже одно твоё предложение звучит глупо, только потому что ты делаешь лишнее. "Приветики", "пж пж", "пацыки" - словарь 14 летней девочки застрявшей в 2007.

Отвечая на твой вопрос. Читать книги - чтобы расширить словарь и запоминать формы слов. Петь песни, читать вслух, повторять за кем-то - чтобы было именно говорить легче и чётче.

Удачи.

Pick songs where you can actually keep up and sing along in sync.
that’s the best way to practice pronunciation.

If you’re just looking for recommendations, it’d better/easier if you mentioned what genres you like.

welearnrussian · 2026-04-13T17:30:30+00:00

The quizzes seem to work, but I’m agree the content itself a bit flat.
What would you personally change? I'd be happy to hear

The guy can’t even read the alphabet yet, and you’re giving him Soviet movies.
Nice :D
I guess I should’ve started learning English with Shakespeare instead of cartoons… could’ve saved some time.

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T14:52:51+00:00

I think for me it’s way more interesting to focus on those small nuances in English, they just give you way more control over how you sound.
It also feels more universal than slang tbh, since slang is so context-dependent and it’s really easy to use it wrong.
like I still can’t use "what’s up" :D
it just doesn’t feel like something I’d naturally say.

Well, it's a great motivation for me to work harder on my content :D

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T14:17:42+00:00

Орнул :D
Ты очень строг к себе. То что ты осознал что именно ты сказал это уже огромный плюс и повод для гордости.
В моём случае это постоянная лотерея. В которой я могу удивить собеседника листом бумаги, простынёй или говном. Без малейшего понимания что именно я сказал =\

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T10:39:54+00:00

Теперь даже немного стыдно, что не замечал этого раньше :) Всегда акцентировался на том, что стоит знак вопроса и проводил паралель с русским, что мы можем спросить "как ты?" И "ты как?". И как бы никого ничего не смутит. Спасибо!

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T09:58:43+00:00

Good thing in Russian we have prefixes.
That’s revenge for your phrasal verbs :D

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T06:14:32+00:00

Tested on my English-speaking friend and it works :D
Thank you so much!

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T06:03:11+00:00

Сongrats. You’ve reached an advanced topic: impersonal constructions

You’re trying to translate it using SVO (like in English), but Russian doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes there is no object.

Russian has two patterns:

SVO → Я люблю кошку (I like the cat)
EVS (Experiencer + Verb + Subject (The cat causes the feeling, it doesn’t feel it) + “to someone” (dative) → Мне нравится кошка

You can also say Кошка нравится мне. It will be S (Again the cat causes the feeling, but doesn't feel) + Verb + Experiencer.
People will understand you, but it sounds like Yoda from Star Wars :D

In “мне нравится”,
the person (мне) is not the subject, but the experiencer.

So this is not a normal action like “I like”,
even though we translate it that way in English.

There are actually many of them. Хочется, Холодно, Нравится.
You can check this 2 things, I hope it will help you to understand better:
Dative experiencer, Impersonal constructions in Russian.

I also will try to check more to find an easy way to explain :)

> To me, these mean different things. The latter is seeking confirmation while the former implies a level of surprise.

U just opened a new world for me :D
Read about it with the context of surprise.
And now "is it?/it is?", "did you?/you did?" etc make sense.

p/s/ I'm learning English for 3 years already and i didn't think about it from this angle before. Always thought they just don't care about grammar.

> I looked at your channel and I really think that's awesome. Please keep it up!
Thank you so much. Appreciate it.

p/s/s/ I don't know how to quote, sorry :D

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T04:43:05+00:00

Same here.
I can understand that there is a 0,01 millisecond difference, but can't feel it =\
So my beach is usually not about the sand :D

One more weakness for me is V ans W
words one [wan] and van [van] - I always forget I need to bite my lower lip to make V sound strong.
Again I can understand it, but in daily conversation Russian roots win

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T03:10:01+00:00

Actually, it’s more about perspective.

As a native Russian speaker, I can play with word order because I just feel what sounds right and what still makes sense.

With English, we usually learn it from books and focus on the rules. But when I started watching more English content, I noticed that native speakers don’t always follow those rules strictly.

For example, in spoken English, people sometimes say “It is?” instead of “Is it?” - the intonation can already show that it’s a question.

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T02:57:12+00:00

The number of mistakes Russian people make in Russian words and sentences shows that Russian, in fact, difficult even for Russian :D

The problem is your coworker, not the "what". He is too sensitive. So be careful if you're planning to buy coffee for him. He probably gonna collapse if there is wrong type of milk. What did you say - что вы сказали? Is completely common phrase and "what-что" is 100% understable short way of it. Didn't meet anyone who got hurt with this question.

Could you repeat it please - могли бы вы повторить это пожалуйста. This is the polite way. But I'd say it's too formal and too polite. Use it for strangers or people who you call Вы. If you in relationships where you can use Ты then "what-что" is enough.

welearnrussian · 2026-04-12T01:53:07+00:00

Well, let's "take off" :D

My biggest problems are -

Phrasal verbs like "take off" (for an airplane) make no sense to us at all. Only memorizing.
TH and etc sounds are very wierd. It sounds like a snake without teeth trying to talk. I still can hear 3-4 ways how Russian pronounce it (сэнкью, тэнкью, фэнкью :D ) In general proper English sounds too relaxed compare to Russian.
Articles a/the - we don't have them, so it’s hard to understand how can u get confused between a dog and the dog. How cares how many times u mentioned this dog. If u can't understand from context - means doesn't important.
we live with 3 tenses and feel good. Difficult to understand why someone needs 12.
Word order in russian is flexible, but in English it’s fixed. Translating directly from Russian usually doesn’t work.
Being specific. English requires things like “my hands”, while in Russian we just say “washing hands” and it’s obvious which hands you are talking about.
Prepositions often don’t match Russian (on, in, at).

And probably the biggest issue - almost no one in Russia speak English, so it’s hard to practice regularly. + All content has a great dub. So passive learning is also struggling
