3 ½ years of studying Russian by myself at home, while working a full time job with 2 kids- and I’m able to read a Graded Reader @ A1 level each night. I translate, maybe 2-3 words per page, which is amazing! 🤩 🤯 This story to me was ALSO comprehensible. I was able to answer ALL 5 questions correct after you read the story. I’m happy to see that I truly have reached A1 going towards A2 🙌🏾!!!! ⚡️

I know this video is a little old, but I feel the need to comment. I've been studying Russian now for about 2 Months on my own. I have both Babel and DuoLingo, I have been watching your videos and taking comprehension tests online. Without someone to talk to in Russian on a regular basis, it's hard to say how much I know, and whether or not I'm making progress. I did, however, study two other languages in academia (Spanish & French) for two years each, and I already feel like I have a better grasp on Russian in-general. I was able to understand probably 75-80% of this text. Enough that when the comprehension questions came around, I was like "Wait, is that it?" That was really neat, and it made me feel much more confident in how things are going and how I feel about my progress. Thanks!

@thelaundryman9287 4 ай бұрын

It depends on the amount of words you understood, also you may just need more practice reading Russian as it's a skill in of itself. For example I understood all of this when reading it on the screen (I only didn't know like 6 out of the 42 words used.) But answered all the questions easily. However when I listened to the story I struggled a lot more to understand as my listening comprehension isn't as good as my reading.

How??..

@G1Fs 9 күн бұрын

@@vibe5207 It's basically google translated english text. If anybody asked me how old was author I would say "about 7 years old". Let me post READABLE exemple. В одном, небольшом, городе жил мальчик по имени Ваня. Однажды, гуляя по парку, он увидел красивую птицу. Она была пёстрой и крайне увлекательной. Мальчик не видел таких птиц прежде. Ваня решил подружиться с ней. Ежедневно, он заходил к ней и прикармливал. Птичка стала доверять мальчику. Их можно было даже назвать друзьями. Ваня был счастлив появлению у него такого необычного друга. Даже рассказал всем своим школьным друзьям. Позже, все вместе, они отправились в парк проведать эту птицу. Довольно быстро история этой дружбы стала известна местным жителям. Ваня и птица стали знамениты. Но мальчику было всё равно. Главное, что он нашел настоящего друга! What have I done? 1) I changed repeated names to nameplacers. Repeating same noun in every sentence IS stylistic mistake. What do we know about Vanya? He is a Boy. So as nameplacers we coud use "he" and "boy". 2) Got rid of trash words. Ex. "когда он гулял в парке" - "when he was walking in the park" change to "гуляя по парку" since he was IN PROCESS of walking. 3) Changed some stylisticly wrong sentences. Since this story about "boy and bird friendship" any other friendship is irrelivant. So changing "история о дружбе мальчика и птицы" to "история этой дружбы" is the way to sound right in russian. Many things in russian language is IMPLIED. "Птица была яркой и очень интересной" - "Bird was bright and very intresting". In english it's sounds right. But in russian this sentence imply the BIRD could talk and shines. "Она была пёстрой и крайне увлекательной" - "She was colorful, exciting and very funny". BTW a word bird is female in russian so bird is SHE. If I fcked up a/an/the anywhere - sorry. Even after all this years of reading IT IS a headache for me.

My level is A2 and I had to research every second word of this story. I don't think you can put this to A1 level. It has many difficult words and uses various cases. I mean, I study Russian for some years now with a book and instrumental case is the LAST in the book. This story may sound easy but grammar wise I'd say it's A2 to B1 at least. Just my opinion. This story uses past tense, prepositional case, instrumental case, genitive case, accusative case, nominative case. It uses singular, plural, reflexive, masculine, feminin... And it uses several prepositions before words like видел увидел or ходил приходил.I don't think that's A1, sorry :D

@statinskill Жыл бұрын

My level is X and the only word I was missing was яркой (bright). I just pick up Russian by engaging with it at least once a day. A bit of listening comprehension and reading. And writing comments. Everything is of interest here that has to do with Russia. As to the grammar, I guess what the grammar is and for a long time I sucked at it. But lately I'm getting much better at it. I'm more like a neural network training on data than that I'm going to sit down and learn with flash cards and do grammar exercises. And obviously I'm way ahead of whatever this A1 level is. Maybe it helps that I speak German, a lot of the way we say things the Russians also do.
