That made me laugh harder than it should have 😂😂😂😂😂

ну одесский говор всё-таки довольно известен, песни, фильмы, много где можно было услышать.

"Я стоко много я прочитала сценариев" - (I have read so many scripts) ---- She is using the slang form "стоко" instead of "столько". ---- In Russian you can say either “столько” or “так много” but not "столько много". She uses an expression that can be more associated with Ukrainian Jews from Odessa.---- "Я клянуся" ( I swear ) - This is Ukrainian. In Russian you can say "Я клянусь". Also she used "шо" (A mix of Russian "что" и Ukrainian "що") But she has a fairly good Russian.

@@michaelkot5387 Слова "стоко" и "шо" это чистый суржик. Связывать этот сленг только с Одессой, не стоит. География его распространения намного шире. Собственно акцент Миллы Кунис это подтверждает, так как её семья родом из Буковины.

@@paulm6529 You can hear it, but it's not right

@@michaelkot5387 if something exists, it cannot be wrong. It might be a dialect word or phrase, just doesn't fit the standard.

I was raised in an Italian family in the German speaking part of Switzerland where I went to school and studied. I completely agree. If I speak about everyday topics in Italian it's ok and Italians do not hear a difference. But as soon as I try to speak about a more complicated topic I get blocked. I try to form the same kind of sentences and use more sophisticated vocabulary and I just can't do in Italian. If I spend some time in Italy or read a lot in Italian it gets better...

MariP I live on the border between the United States and Mexico. We have a university which is composed primarily of hispanic students, meaning they are of Mexican descent, and students who are Mexican, meaning that they were born and raised in Mexico. It is so easy to tell which ones are which because of the way they dress and talk. I went to college in the 90’s. The Mexican students would never wear shorts or baseball caps, but the americanized hispanic students would. The Spanish was very evident as hispanic students use English words when they don’t know the Spanish word, and use pause words like “umm”. Mexican students use only Spanish, and also joke around in Spanish by using witty idiomatic phrases and jokes that are a play on words that you will only understand if you are very fluent and immersed in the culture. People are also surprised when they see Mexican students with blonde hair and blue eyes who are extremely wealthy. People confuse the Mexican culture with the Chicano culture. These are two different worlds! People also confuse Spanish European culture with Mexican culture.

thats not true at all, you can learn to read, speak and write in your "native" tongue and then learn all the rest if you go back to your "native" country and live there for awhile...anything can be learned, even slang, expressions etc

Tara I agree with you, if someone were to go back to the country of their parent’s birth, granted they grew up speaking the language, and were to immerse themselves in the culture, go to school there, and or work there then yes. But someone who is raised in the U.S, and just speaks at home with parents, will not reach that level. My wife is from Mexico, she has only ever spoken Spanish to my children who are now adults. My Children are fluent, but because they were not raised in Mexico, it is obvious that they are American. I am an interpreter, I have been speaking Spanish for 24 years, and I can not pass as a Mexican.

@@caligal1090 Yes, I could learn it if I went "back" to where my parents were born. But as long as I speak and listen and read and write only in German (and sometimes in English) I will never get better. But it would take a lot of time to reach the level of the language you study at school in writing. Spelling and grammar are easy compared to vocabulary or the way you construct the sentences.

I've heard up to 4 languages being mixed into one conversation. I was checking out groceries for a Chinese family and they spoke in a combination of Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and French. I read out their total in French and thankfully it was an even $100.

@@ebonydarkness I love that! Also, are Mandarin and Cantonese mutually intelligible? Are they dialects of one another or share a same root language or are they different enough to not be intellectually related. Like the relationship between Lao and Thai or Ukrainian and Russian.

Heeey don’t be scared, we’ll never judge u💜

yeah she has great confidence. I envy her 😣

@@captorangeski but she's not acting with that confidence. She speaks it often enough daily to her own family, so she's comfortable. Confidence is found in comfortability

По одесски разговаривает

Her grammar isn't great. Do you really think if she were to come to Russia they'd think of her as Ukranian?

@@jewelmarkess No, they would think that she learned her Russian in Ukraine.

@@Shorrey I wouldn't if I met her in St Petersburg. To me, she sounds foreign. It could be that I am not very familiar with Western Ukranian accent, I only know a couple of Ukranians from Eastern Ukraine, one from Odessa - she is Ukranian, not Russian btw, I don't remember where the other is from. They speak better Russian. (edited to add) Of course, her grammar would play into it. No Ukranian or Russian would say ""в прошлой неделе". There are somewhat different expressions that I heard people from Ukraine make e.g. use "купаться" instead of "мыться" or "я не знаю или это правда" instead of "я не знаю правда ли это". But prepositions are idiomatic, and people normally learn them early on. Also, I hear American accent too.

"Шокают" и "окают" не только на Украине, но и в Ростове, Краснодаре и даже во Владимире, так называемый южно-русский говор. У нее типичный акцент англоговорящих с растягиванием гласных.

A mix of Russian "что" and Ukrainian "що"

Her family is from Odessa, Ukraine so that is expected

@@SantomPh Milena Markovna Kunis was born on August 14, 1983,[3] in Chernivtsi, Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union.[4]

Michael Kot in southern Russian sho is usually spoken

Russian word "что" but Russian people say "што" Ukrainian "що" but say "шо"

I was born and raised in USA. My Ukrainian friend who moved here at 9 years old really thought I was a fob just because I'm better than him at speaking Russian with slang and have no english accent. Even with Spanish, I picked up slang instantly and often get confused for being chicano.

She will not lose her accent, she is too old. Keep in mind also that she's never spoken Russian as it's spoken in St Petersburg or Moscow. Her parents are from Western Ukraine, and over there Ukranian is spoken more than Russian. So they spoke Russian with Western Ukranian pronunciation. Her Russian accent is a mixture of both. In general, it's near impossible to lose your accent unless you've lived in the country where the language is spoken since at most 13. She'd improve her grammar if she actually starts seriously working on it. I grew up in St Petersburg (when it was still Leningrad), but I've lived in the US since late 70s. I finished school in Russia, but got my higher education in the US. Obviously, I speak Russian normally, and I have a strong Russian accent when I speak English - my fault in part, should've worked more on it when I was younger, but when I visit St Petersburg, people there tell me I have an accent. They cannot pinpoint any sound that is wrong, they say it's intonation rather than sounds. They don't think I am a foreigner, but they don't think I am local either.

Even "born and raised" in the US and Canada Russians have problems with English

@@xlyal8908 Hah? Russians who came to the US as kids do not have problems with English, they forget their native language, for the most part. Mila is a prime example of that, and her Russian is better than that of most such kids. I am not sure why you put "born and raised" in quotes. Russians who came to the US after the age of 13 usually have an accent.

@@jewelmarkess I am not even talking about her. Thirteen is a cut off age for everyone not just Russians.

What kind of sounds do Ukrainians make speaking Russian that lets you know they're Ukrainian? Just wondering. I'm learning Ukrainian and Russian, so I'm curious!

@@bre_me they have own accent, especially in some letters. In pronunciation.

@@bre_me "шо" instead of "что" and a voiced h sound instead of russian g sound for example.

@@aidaberdaliyeva160 because she was born in Ukraine correct?

To be “perfect” in a language is extremely rare. You say you’re “perfect” in 2 languages. I assume English is one of them. However, as a native English speaker, your English is brilliant! But it’s definitely not perfect. I could point out 10 mistakes you made in your comment. My point is that someone is never perfect unless they are born and raised in an area.

Yes, you speak foreign language better when you speak it to a native speaker.

His brother stayed in Denmark, and he stayed in America, and the time just passed...

@@Kinobambino A lot of people that immigrate don’t see their family for years mainly for financial reasons (Europe to the U.S. and vice versa can be really expensive). They can also have trouble with visas and all that.

Exactly the same thing is happening to me

I'm Brazilian too, I feel you man

@Andrei Genrikhovich I'm definitely gonna try that!

Maybe you can find Russians in CS:GO lol

Not true!!! No a Jewish dialect whatsoever!

She mixes Ukrainian in her Russian.

@@lyubasky2726 it really is a Jewish accent. Odessa's Jewish accent.

Noam Rotstain no offense but this is total ...let’s say wrong. :)) I was born and raised in Kiev. Lived there for the most part of my life. Till 40-th to be exact. Lived with Russians Ukraine and Jewish people. There is no Jewish accent or dialect! Not in Ukraine nor in Russia. Somebody mentioned Odessa. True. People from Odessa has them own way to speak. But again it is not dialect but style. You don’t have even to be Jewish to talk like they do. And btw from Chernivtsi where Mila was born (very west Ukraine) to Odessa somewhere around 600 miles. It is very big difference between people and culture in these two part of Ukraine.

There is no such a thing as Jewish dialect. There might be a certain way to speak specific to Odessa, but this is about it. I grew up in St Petersburg (when it was still Leningrad), and there most certainly wasn't any Jewish dialect there. The last generation that spoke some Yiddish were those born in the beginning of the 20th century, and even among them not everyone spoke it well. Think, how could there be? We normally pick up pronunciation as kids from those around us. Kids go to school, they pick up the pronunciation of their teachers. Consider how quickly kids who come to the US before 10-11 learn to speak English without accent even if their parents never lose their original accent. If there'd been any Jewish accent in Russian, there'd be one in other languages as well, and there is none.

Bon chance! Удачи!

I think you and he are right. Mastering a language has all to do with the degree to which someone is capable of conveying their thoughts. The thing with French is it does deserve an exception to the rule. This language unlike many, really does have extreme beauty in its pronunciation. It is a smooth as silk , it has beautiful melody that is second to none. No other language I know has this as a main characteristic. Pronunciation is very important in this language, and it does affect comprehension when it is not spot on. I find the people in Canada, for instance, totally butcher the language because it takes this very thing from the language. Obviously, this is not meant as an offense. Where I come from we totally butcher Spanish, and yet every dialect form of a language is respectable on its own. Every language has, linguistically speaking, the same value.

How’s your Russian now? This was two years ago.

Exactly, man. It's ridiculous

Vadim Grecheskiy только она ни разу не из Одессы. У неё обычный американский акцент и интонации американского английского.

Скорее, не одесский, а брайтонбичский :)

yeah thats pretty common with people not brought up in a fully bilingual country. our brains get hardwired to produce the sounds we hear most often and as we get older and have less exposure to certain sounds we lose that connection. its also why native speakers of a language tend to take words and idioms from different accents of their language if they move rather than have a total shift in accent.

Yeah that pretty much applies to anyone coming from another country

for some reason I can speak 7 languages with no accent. I have been trying to figure out why that is. I have no issue with accent whatsoever, never even tried to get better at pronounciation in any of the languages I speak. Interesting.

I guess it depends per person, my mom is Ukrainian and moved to The Netherlands in her mid-20's. Ofcourse she had a huge accent when speaking Dutch the first couple of years however it has faded. So much so, that people always mistake her to be a native. She doesn't have any non-native accent when speaking Dutch, Ukrainian, Russian and even English.

I mean = то есть; like = как бы, типа. What else? Tell me, and I'll give you the equivalents.

As a Russian learner you may have not enough skills to make distinction between Russians who live in Russian and American-Russian. I hear her American accent. Her speech is not pure. But in terms of grammar she constructs sentences well enough. By the way I am an english learner

@@witchdoctor1221 Agreed. Not sure what you mean about "American Russian" though.There is a huge difference between those who came to the US as kids and didn't attend a school in Russia and those who came to the US at a later age. BTW people normally say Russian American.

What do you mean? There's a Yiddish rhythm to it?

Think it’s that Odessa accent. I encounter it often and it sort of irks me to be honest.

​@@otherwords1375 In Ukraine we have big Jewish diaspora especially in Odessa region. They have specific accent. It combines ukrainian, russian, yiddish and aegean elements.

@@Noitora1000 I think it's only the case in Odessa. There is no specific Jewish accent in St Petersburg or Moscow, for example. Hardly anybody has spoken any Yiddish for generations. I don't think there is one in other part of Russia, not sure about other parts of Ukraine e.g. Kiev.

@@Noitora1000 Interesting. Sounds like Jewish communities in Odessa were more insular than those in other regions, for whatever reason. Maybe it had to do with Jews tending to group together in certain industries (I know Odessa is a transport hub.)
