Podcast episode about Dr. Kurpatov and how our brain works: www.russianwithmax.com/russian-podcast/

Hi Max! I am a language teacher myself (French & German) and I can say without any doubt that your channel is amazingly well done. The only bad thing about it, is that I did not find it earlier! Keep up the good work!

I am so glad I found you, I have been struggling with Russian as a hobby for many years, and cannot get a grip on the grammar, I hate the cases! But you are very clear when you speak and it is invaluable for listening practice. I have tried watching Russian news, "Novosti", and I don't catch a single word! So thanks Max for going at a good speed.

Thank you Max! You are a great teacher my friend. I feel like I am learning about life as well as Russian. 👍

I've been learning a handful of languages for a while now and I have to say this is the best channel on KZfaq on learning a language I came across. Amazing pronunciation, explanation, word use, etc. Thank you

I. Love. You. And your love for teaching and the care you have for us and your content. Ugh. 🙏 respect ✊. Please don’t ever stop.

Excelente video....nueva música de alta calidad para usted....Los Jaivas (Chile)....Los Destellos(Perú)

Omg you are amazing! Is soo hard to find this type of stuff! Thank you so much! Please keep doing this

You're a great teacher. Bravo

Я понял почти всё !!! Спасибо!

Lublu vam Max👏💛

I just found your channel and have to say you are a great teacher and seem like a very down to earth real guy. I appreciate all the work you put into helping and serving everyone who is trying to learn the Russian language and culture. Your work may be overlooked by some but keep doing what you're doing you are the best I have found so far, you deserve more views! I would love to meet you one day. Probably we will.

Thanks for this!

Wow!!! This is one of the best videos I've watched on KZfaq ever!!! Seriously. The idea is so simple but it's so easy to overlook it when we live our everyday life on autopilot!!! Thank you so much Max, your videos are absolutely incredible and please keep up the great work!!!

💕💕💕💕 Thank you for your videos, and for your work.

Max, your videos, and especially this one, are soooo useful❤️❤️and pleasant to watchyou are my best resource for learning Russian, I am soooo grateful👌👌🤗🤗

Wow max, i understand the idea of the video, sometimes I didn't understand the whole meaning but this is really useful. I am learning Russian by myself and since I discovered your channel i feel that my brain understand more! Спасибо за видео! Очень интересно

hello max. i like your perspective about learning a language. It helps me to listen to old russian folk songs from 50 years ago or more! Great content. Thank you!!

I like your positive approach to learning. I find that for more advanced learning (I'm trying to learn German, for instance), watching movies and TV is extremely beneficial. And immersion, of course, works best. Reading is easiest, as you can do it at your own speed. Expressing yourself as you wish to, especially on technical topics, is, perhaps, the most difficult. Anyway, your videos are interesting despite the repetition and definition of common words, and I sincerely appreciate that.

thank you for this video

Zdravo Max! Uvijek je lijepo otkriti neki od tvojih "starih" videa. Bila su neka druga jednostavnija vremena ;)

I appreciate the message. I'm currently learning mandolin and Russian. I've started listening to classical music when I work and I'm reading Crime and Punishment...my brain is mush! But I've never been more creative and open to new ideas and situations. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing too much but I remember that I'm doing what I'm enjoying. Thanks for your constant energy and information!

I must echo what everyone has already said in the comments…this channel is great, and my listening skills have improved so much since I subscribed. It’s encouraging! Thank you

Спасибо, дорогой коуч! Отлично! Полезно!

Excelent, max ! Besides you are teaching a lot of Russian, you are teaching a lot of interesting and wonderful things. Saludos, felicitaciones y agradecimientos desde Argentina

Interesting concept. Thanks for sharing.

Great Job done for great teacher.

You are fantastic!

Just found this video....good stuff and i will give it a try--change things up to keep the brain growing!

This makes a lot of sense. I always seek out new music and films but for some reason never with learning a language (russian). Subscribed! Спасибо большое!

Thank you for such a good video! Please make more videos, we miss you! 🌷

Max, you are right!

Отлычно- very good video and you speak at a pace that I can understand about an interesting topic. I need to learn how to switch off the subtitles. Currently I hold a hand over them ( easy if I then need to understand a word but it's easy to get lazy and just end up reading them without realising!). Thanks for this

I love your videos. This is extremely helpful for learning Russian. Many thanks from Germany

great video, i am italian and i am learning russian by miself, your channel is very very useful, thank you Max! great job!

I'm guilty of this!! I've been listening to this program I have for almost a year now! A YEAR. I just repeat it again and again. I know the meaning in English when I play the audio. But the reason I keep on repeating it is because I want to catch each word & phrases. I feel like I need to Master the program before I move on. It's why my level won't grow....But I don't watch the same movies nor music. I watch different movies. Thanks for the video. And we appreciate the English subtitles.

Max - ties in well with your brilliant video about seeing the world more granularly through verbs of motion. Learning to think differently about how we describe and interact with the world. Very insightful.

Thankyou for your effort on your podcasts and videos max, they help me to understand better my Russian friends!

Еще раз большое спасибо за очень хороший совет. Вы один из лучших учителей. Я лично слушаю ваше видео по 2-3 раза в день, не глядя на перевод. Затем я слушаю его снова, но нажимаю паузу на каждом предложении, которое повторяю несколько раз. Когда я закончу, я слушаю это с самого начала и пытаюсь сказать это в то же время, когда вы говорите

Great video. This is one of the first videos I managed to watch without subtitles, that I could mostly understand, and that is not made out of fake dialogs or made up discussions. I think this is a very pivotal stage in the learning of a language, and your material is key to get to the next level! Thx

Thank you so much , you are helping me learning Russian and I think you're videos is so effective ❤️❤️

Большое спасибо за еще один очень полезный фильм! Ваш совет очень мудрый! Не только за то, чтобы учить русских, но и за всю жизнь!

As an English and Arabic teacher I testify the effectiveness of such an approach. Good job and keep going 👍🏻🙏🏻

this is great max, thank you for helping me learn Russian!!

Thanks

max.. i see habits in many older people,, many people when they get into their senior years stop learning new things.. excellent advice, we have to get out our comfort zone and challenge our brains..listening to your videos is challenging for my old brain.. i am going to keep up the pace with russian and keep my strategy of never stopping challenging my mind and keep it up one step at a time.. great advice in this video!!

Very wise for one so young.

Очень интересно и очень хорошо для моего изучения русского языка. Спасибо!

I like your way of teaching, because its always in interesting kontekst. And I think you know all of this because you are learning a new language yourselfe. It also to help me when I started teaching my son English, I had a lot of AHA momments. Also at the same time I find your Chanel-just in time :)

Wunderbar! - Замечательно!

Great video Max, nearly 10k subs are you planning to celebrate? Very happy for you

Smart ideas.. Спасибо большое

Thanks a ton, dear Max. I'm back. Summer was kind of awful, deaths in the family, surgery, I was really sick but now I feel fine and ready to study Russian again !, thanks,thanks always for your good job !,

отличная информация!

Te entiendo muy bien. Es que dices todas las palabras completas. Muchas gracias

Ваши видео--просто прикольные, и лучший способ изучать русский, который я нашел. Спасибо Вам большое.

Max I dont know why but watching you talk is really mezmering and calming, almost like an asmr)) but it gives me confidence that I’m finding out that I understand more Russian than I thought. I’m moving to Moscow this year for study, and your channel really helps me learn Russian. Большое спасибо!

excellent,repetition is good...

Max you are the best! мне очень нравится твой канал

Макс, ты такой умный мальчик, говоришь об разных методах изучения языка как настоящий психолог! Я бы хотел тебя сказать что я начал смотреть твое фильмы 3 месяцев назад и Я считаю каждое из них очень полезным. Благодарю тебя я уже почти полностью понимаю русский язык. Наверное тоже потому что я польяк и меня легче понять чем другим иностранцам. Спасибо большое за шикарные уроки! И ещё у меня есть тот же самая привычка, когда я слушаю музыку, постоянно играет один жанр :D

Thanks a lot. This is just the same as that explained by a book named " Power of Habit".

Надо признаться, что зти размышления и путешествия, совсем гениалные. Спасибо!

Отличная точка зрения! Я постараюсь изучать русский язык и заниматься разными делами в жизни.

Золотые слова!)

Спасибо

I was in Russia 6 times and i felt at some point that i need to learn Russian to understand the culture and people.I like your videos, it helps me a lot, i try to study for my own, is difficult in the first steps, but with time and work every single day, it works. I see your channel and others to help me, again thanks¡¡¡¡¡¡

I think it's the best place to practice listening Russian. I like your videos.

Мне нравятся ваши ролики поэтому пересмотрела много раз. Даже не хочу найти другие ролики других влогеров)))) вот это моя привычка.

You are a very gifted teacher, a very special, inspired and inspiring teacher. I'm a foreign language teacher, so I know what I'm talking about :). Congratulations.

Очень интересно макс!! Agree..challenge your brain!!

Cпасибо за использование их рук, когда вы говорите, я немного понимаю русский язык

Спасибо вам огромное!!! Вы великолепный преподаватель!!! Смотрю ваши уроки и чувствую, что у меня улучшается язык :)

i started to do this with my music lately! i would first listen to one of my favorite albums, then leave autoplay on and let youtube decide what im going to listen to next. its been a great experience so far. similarly ive been trying to cook from scratch using new recipes ive never tried! also visiting different churches and such etc. im even growing my veggies and herbs differently this year (hydroponics instead of soil). I didnt really think much about it but now that im watching this video i notice how much things have changed in my life and i must say it is very refreshing! thank you i will be applying this to the way i do things even more c:

Ты лучше ❤️ спасибо за видео . мне очень понравилось .

это моё любимое видео Макса

Я согласна с тобой, Макс. Я всегда пытаюсь что-то изменить, просто ты видишь по-другому. Это также относится к моему языку; обучение. Иногда я учусь с помощью книг, музыки, фильмов, иногда каналов KZfaq, мультфильмов и т. д. Или я ем разные блюда из разных кухонь, ношу разные стили. Это меняет мое отношение. Я чувствую это.✌️

Очень полезно советы

12:20 Opa ! 🇬🇷 ❤ 🇷🇺 Im learning russian with you and my private teacher Greetings from Greece!

Ты очень очень талантливый учитель Макс! Большое спасибо, я могу понять намного больше!

You make me believe in myself

вот это хороший метод для жизни. спасибо братан

I came across this video while watching random videos. I understood each and every word this amazing teacher said. Although I graduated 10 years ago as medical doctor from Ryazan, Russia. This is not a simple language lesson, the gentleman has just discussed; "The importance of diversity in Congnitive Neuroscience." Amazing 👌 video. Thank you!!!

THX! Very interesting video, как всегда :-)

Красивий ! Спасибо для это интересное видео.

Великолепный «coach” Макс» Ведь правда! Спасибо , я не забуду.

Привет макс! Мне очень очень нравятся свои видео, ты говоришь о разные темы с емоце на свои головой, это просто супер круто ! Чтобы прогрессировать на высокий уровень это отлично, огрмное спасибо! Я знаю о моих привычки, но я также знаю о так хорошо то есть, что новости дают. Любить новости, быть любопытный (curious?). Быть больше заинтересован в новосте чем о привычки a всё работает 😊

Thanks Max. Good advice. I taught myself Italian over a period of about 18 months and can communicate rather well. I've been dabbling with Russian for about a month about an hour a day, reading writing, transcribing from videos. I have to say it is hugely more challenging than a Latin look anguage. I have been bbn interested in Russia since I was a kid. I went to the Russian exhibition in New York in 1959, I saw the Moseyev dancers, took Russian culture classes in college. I'm 78 years old and I feel like a young student. I can vfc relate to what you advise, since I gave always gone outside the box on many subjects. I'm determined to get good at Russian language. Thanks. Any advice is appreciated

Hi Max, thanks for these videos! P.S. It's funny that you mention the doors because you look very similar to Jim Morrison, I don't know if you noticed 😆

Спасибо макс вбрюд

Это диалог уже даёт мне много информации. Я новый студент русского языка, хочу более влог Макс !

ты не только учител - ты филозоф! Салют из Берлин

Very good YT video. Multiple inputs to the brain for language learning! The problem with a lot of language learning courses are they are very good for beginners, but when you are at the intermediate level the amount of suitable material is harder to find. Many commercial language courses do not go past the beginner level. Of course, you have to search for suitable intermediate level with books, audio, YT videos, and language exchange partners. I found the best way is to buy books, audio books etc in the language you are studying that are written for teenagers, that equate to an intermediate level in my target language(s). Change is always good for the brain!!

The Teacher of Life. Haha, it randomly (or not) came to my mind

HALLO Makc i hope you are very well despite corona challenges all the world including russia. your is hugely great in all aspect, for those who understand a little russsia is a perfect way to repeat after you and listen. Russia s great actor TEACHER. BRAVO

Да, жить творчской жизнью очень помогает нам мозг. Я уже делаю почти всё, что ты рассказал в этом видео, только слушать разные стили музыки - самвая сложная часть, но постараюсь, так же как и ты.

I have basic ideas about Russian language. I can read Russian but can't speak to you people. Your subtitles are really helpful. Thank you!

Aprendí ingles por mi cuenta y ahora ruso también así que creo saber como entender idiomas otra vez tengo ese sentimiento y emoción de ver que lo estoy logrando saludos

Макс, я люблю твои видео. Я смотрел и изучал это видео в течение 3 часов. Каждое слово. Очень сложно, но, как вы сказали, вам нужно бросить вызов себе. Я с нетерпением жду встречи с вами когда-нибудь. Майкл из Флориды

Привет Макс^ Я студент из Южной Корей который начал смотреть твои видео и слушать твои подкасты год назад))) Я люблю твои разные темы. Я давно думал ты очень творческий красавчик** Благодаря тебе мой русский язык стал лллллллучше! Всегда поддерживаю тебя+

Спасибо Макс, я согласна. Я считаю, что нужно найти какое-то новое тоже в старом. Это трудно!
