Favorite quote: ”Russian is not for everyone, just for supercool and tough people.” Lol

“We like to sleep long.” I must be Russian

Привет, Daria. I am from Мадрид and I am 17 years old. Although this class was definitely harder than the first two, you manage to make all of them bearable. I especially like how you cheer us up when you think something is difficult, so thank you very much for your attitude towards learning and for making it easier for the people who can’t afford to pay for lessons but are still motivated to learn. I wish there were more teachers like you!

my favourite quote in this lesson, is when shes talking about that Ж, Ц, and Ш is never soft. "These dudes are always hard."

My wife thought I was weird by saying "booty" and "beautiful" repeatedly. 10/10 will make her concerned for my sanity again.

My thoughts after first two lessons: Wow, Russian's really easy, I don't see what westerners are complaining about Me after being introduced to softness and hardness: Hmmm....

Pronouncing russian feels like taking my mouth to a gym lol

"No long conversations with Russians. Hello, goodbye, drink vodka on Tuesday"

This is the best Russian course what I heared * Im German and my age is 71 * I start to learn Russian and this course help me very well* Rupert

"Remember that beautiful booty" this is why you're my absolute favorite Russian professor on youtube. Your analogies are genius

"He's so poor, but he's so pure... Booty beauty" sounds like it belongs in an improv poetry session. Seriously though, these lessons are the best.

The sounds of Russian is so similar with Portuguese that I could pronounce this easily. Thanks from Brazil, I really appreciate this beautiful language. Mandarin and Russian is my main objective now! Thanks for the video, teacher.

I am starting to read more Russian words in the comments now. It's starting!!!! Thanks so much! A Canadian /Russian

I will NEVER be able to say "bye" with s straight face... After repeating пока over and over I realized it reminded me of the sound a chicken makes and I started cracking up

I'm in Perm, Russia for university and I'm telling you there is no better way in the world to learn Russian language than this channel...большое спасибо Дарья.

I've been studying Russian for a VERY long time, and I never understood the difference between voiced and unvoiced consonants. Now I do, because you explained it so well. Thank you!

23:57 for those of you who are still confused about how to pronounce the "o" without a stress, you pronounce it like a "u" in "cup" ;)

Daria: These are your lips Also Daria: Let's call them weirdo the clown Me:😢✌️

me while watching the video 18:03 after video ends 18:55 revising the lecture 19:46 my innocent friends 20:13

All I can say is: You're handwriting improved a lot😅

You are my personal hero Daria. My fiance is Russian and I really want to learn his language as well as he wants to learn my mother's tounge so we can teach our children to speak both languages without leaving the other one out. I was struggling with so much! So many rules and now I understand them so well. You are great and thank you 100 times for your time and effort. You are awesome. Спасибо большое!

Why do you say "I don't know" all the time? You know everything about the subject you teaching. Best language teaching channel I saw on UKposts till date. 😻😻

I watch several UKposts videos on how to trade in the stock market but haven't made any head start because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands

I don't care for the American version of that word but I appreciate your clarity and maturity and instructing the real word lol

I’m a 12 y.o. Italian and I love your lessons! Greetings from Italy

Thank you so much for making these videos because I was born in Russia but adopted at 12 months and brought to the United States and never really got to experience the Russian language and I am trying to learn the language of the country I was born in, thank you so much Daria for helping me try to learn the Russian Language, and the videos are such a big help!

Holy cr🅰️p I've been learning this language on Duolingo for months and I just now knew about this pronunciation rules. I never regret giving this channel a shot. I really love how you put effort in to making these videos, being interactive and so friendly that I almost feel like being actually in your class. This is so appreciatively professional, and you are so cute! I love you!

You’re a great teacher. I’ve been on Duolingo for 6 weeks and confused by pronunciation based on the letters alone. It makes a lot more sense now.

No complaints here. Great teacher.

I love russian language!! I ain’t good at english and russian so I learn english and russian at the same time!! This video is too much useful to me! :) I’m 14years old and russian language fits me well XD thank you teacher!!

I feel so much smarter after this video.. The ь and ъ make so much more sense now.

6:12 She heard me about the window's light 🥰🥰🥰 how cute!

Here’s your Mexican student 🙋🏼‍♀️ love these videos, I’m learning so much ❤️

‘I have nothing against clowns I like em’ : thanks for boosting my confidence

Day 2 of learning Russian, I'm really enjoying

el salam alaikom my teacher , thank you fof your great efforts with us . I sudy Russian with you and in 1.01 when you taught us how to say good bye i tried to pronounce it by myself then i was surprised when you said " dasvidania " when we had to use the third rule of voiced and unvoiced consonants , thank you again super amazing "Russian teacher = DARIA" .

👦Here is another student learning so fast from your amazing video's, I'm from The Netherlands, I just love the Russian language

Привет из России) Всем, кто учит русский язык, желаю удачи, вы сможете!👌

Как не странно, мне нравиться учить Английский по твоим урокам Русского 😆 I like learn English with you Russian lessons 🙈

Ive only known a couple of phrases but had no idea how to read. With your just 3 lessons now im able to read whatever, i just need to know what the words mean LOL, im buying a dictionary. Russian language fascinates me, it sounds so smart, hard, soft, lovely, scary...its like a roulette to me, and Im loving it. Im a Spanish native speaker and fluent English speaker, and im coming for Russian now, all on my own with your help and other Russian teachers...good thing is we can find everything on the Internet, its on us how to invest that time! Big THANK YOU for sharing all your knowledge...watching your videos I even practice my english listening, my russian listening, reading and writing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

This is great. You have explained to me what my Russian wife couldn't.

You probably won’t see this, but you are SO adorable and i enjoy learning from you so much!! Thank you for your hard work!

oh my god thank you so muchh!!

"if you're not stressed go somewhere behind" - people with anxiety having to show up in front *stress intensifies*

This has to be the best explanation on pronunciation rules that I have seen so far! Now it all makes sense! Спасибо большое))

The interactivity makes it fun!

me while writing the "lesson 3" " vocab+pronounciation" and seeing she drew a heart : **gets math class flashbacks and starts shading the heart and going all out**

I love how people said her N and I were too confusing and she was just like "no, you're wrong"

"I encourage you to start writing down." believe me, I've had my notepad since lesson 1. Lol thanks for these awesome lessons

It is my decision to speak Russian. No matter how, where This starts today. And if you are a very fresh decided like me, let me know. We can help each other along the way👍

Thank you Daria, these lessons are pure gold 💟

Спасибо большое Дарья! :D ты отличный учитель. Я многому научился по-русски когда ты научил меня ❤️

Are you wearing a CCCP T-shirt with Yuri Gagarin`s photo on it? Respect +100

Thank you so much for these lessons! It's only been a few weeks and I can already speak basic sentences and know how to read Russian words. Again, thank you.

I've always wanted to learn Russian and these videos are understandable and I can rewatch as many times as needed and have an absolute blast while watching

Daria, you are a very good teacher... tried so many time to learn Russian.. .but failed miserably as many times... but your videos are so good and funny I am still here... Am 82 and LOVE Russia... studied your history... love archaeologist A.P Okladnikov... your Russiaure, with huge Siberia etc etc... I am so excited for I discovered Russian language use same phonic sounds as my own language Danish... lots of hard consonants... and some of your vocals like Danish æ, ø, å and since I also have taught phonics the russian alphabet is NOW not hard for me... and reading worď just using the phonic sounds not hard either ..... so there is hope for me... I was in Russia 2017 and will visit again this summer... just 3 weeks but plan to come several month every year and travel all over your beautiful country... but my dread was how to speak enough to handle simple life by my own... now I know I CAN LEARN IT ... THANK YOU SO MUCH... this is Dream come true. Ml bente.

This is a truly fantastic course. Russian is the 3rd language I learn now, and I wish I had the same concept for the other 2 as well. It is like attending a real class. Thousand times better than commercial provider's "learn every language in just 30 mins a day" crap. Bravo Daria!

I realised English is even harder: Student: Wait, so it's not fotografy (photography)? Teacher: No, it's fetogrefy(photography)

Russian is particularly easy for Hindi or Sanskrit derived languages speakers. These things such as hard and soft pronunciations exist in Hindi and Sanskrit too. Also soooo many words are common. Including many grammatical words. Also some of the grammer is similar. I never knew Russian and Hindi are sooo similar.

I have been able to learn Russian language. Thanks to you teacher Daria. May the lord bless you.

In the middle of saying CECTPA I pronounced the R correctly I’m soooo happy 😄

I’ve already watched 3 videos all the way through and have everything written in my notebook. Hopefully I’ll get fluent in a few months 😊 спасибо ❤️

Привет you are the best Russian🇷🇺 teacher out there I'm 14 years old and trying to learn Russian through english although english isn't my first language but this video is really really helpful for all the people out there trying to learn is really beautiful language

props to the hard sign for keeping it real during these hard times

You are my hero, thank you Daria looove from Turkey

Daria, thank you for your amazing lessons. I could not find a Russian teacher in my city so I looked online and found your channel...the best Russian teacher I could have asked for!!

I have to say since you started writing и “normally” it became much more easier to follow!!! thank you!

Daria is the best teacher for Russian I have seen

I finally understood the issue with hard, soft and vowel reduction. It is so simple and the universal myth maintains the idea that is an hermetic unbreakable esoteric theory! Thank you Daria !

The best language teaching chanel😍

Such an amazing teacher. She makes the whole difficult lesson easy with her amazing teaching techniques and fun.

You are very good dear Daria. I dont find any difficulties. Probably because I am Greek. As northern Greek my pronunciation is similar (I have to remember my old pronunciation because I changed it to more "soft"). I am 67 years old, I'm just retired and I'm gonna learn to speak Russian ! I wish you the best to your life !!!

I'm learning this so after coronavirus lockdown when I meet my friends,I greet them in Russian and shock them.

You are the first native Russian speaker who is able to EXPLAIN why / when certain "o" sound like "a". NO ONE was able to answer this to me IN YEARS, not kidding. Native speakers are always like "booo, you just learn it when you learn how to pronounce the word". Thank you for this!

Russian is not for everyone...nice word.....thank you.. from Sri Lanka.. your English actually clear and real talk in real places...god bless!

Yay! An explanation about the hard sign that makes sense! The book I've been using did not explain it as clearly as you have so marvelously done here! Thank you!!!😊

Меня зовут Франк. I have been trying for 2 years to learn. My whole family thinks I am crazy. None of them will help so I sort of gave up. You have helped revive my ambition. I do not have to talk to myself anymore. Спасибо

Ваш метод обучения действительно классный! Отлично! Очень полезно увидеть эти онлайн-классы и большое спасибо за ваши навыки обучения

And a total breakthrough in pronouncing soft consonants! I had been guessing by ear, but this makes it so clear and much faster!!!😊

I am grateful for your exceptional talent as a teacher! I am learning so much in a short time.

Thank you soo much for these lessons Daria, they're brilliant! I have a Russian speaking 5 year old daughter and I have vowed to learn russian for many years without success and trying several CD courses, books and even a course at my nearest University all without success. I now have seen 3 videos and already I understand how to read russian words which is more than I have learned in the last 10 years! I actually enjoy learning and watching your videos unlike before as you make learning fun! Soo many thanks your simply the best :)).

Thank you so much for these lessons! It's only been a few days and I have known how to write the alphabet and pronouncing them more than how i expected and know how to read Russian words. Again, thank you for the good work and God bless you.

thank you so much Daria! I can't thank you enough for how much you've made Russian learning a more fun journey for me! you're truly amazing

Hey Daria, thanks so much for this free course, I know you put it on UKposts long time ago, but, it continue been useful for foreginers to learn Russian Language.

I love you with all my heart you’re the best teacher ever I’m so thankful I found this channel

I started Russian using Duolingo and while watching this video there were many "oooohhh, so that's why it was pronounced like that" moments. Quite fun :)

Вы просто шикарно объясняете, ещё и с юмором, смотреть одно удовольствие. Спасибо

Love the teacher. Makes me want to continue on following the lessons. Daria makes it easier. She goes slow in explaining and makes it simpler to learn .

I can actually read russian words now and some I don't even know what they mean 😂😂. Progress. You the best teacher Daria. Can't wait to surprise my bf with this🤭

Daria does such a good job teaching! She somehow manages to make it a lot of fun as well as teaches you so much about Russian. I really didn't expect to find a good teacher on youtube but I'm really glad I did!!!

I’m so happy to have found your courses 😍😍 everything is so iterative no complains from my part, and I’m learning a lot with you. Idk how you do it but taking classes with u is very fun ❤️🤩❤️💪🏼❤️❤️🙏🙏

I'm currently learning Russian and I'm glad that I found you! Your teaching style, teaching approach, technique, examples and explanation are really helpful to help me understand how the pronunciation differences work. Love it! Спасибо ~ Greetings from Malaysia

Thank you so much Daria for your lessons. About a week ago I felt inspired to learn Russian (yet another goal to put on list, newly motivated by great video docs on Russian history I'd found). I knew only nyet, and the Cyrillic alphabet was hieroglyphics to me. Within 1 of your lessons I felt engaged and had learned so much. Now I have my technology down so I can carefully note your videos, record my voice, study on phone during long work commute. Thank you! SO FUN to hear a word and GUESS how to spell in Russian, and get it RIGHT. Other viewers, using these vids along with note taking app that allows draw, type & record, some Google translate (though Daria is better), finding website with Cyrillic keyboard are helpful. And explore on own between lessons-I guessed at Cyrillic Gorbachev, the audio translation didn't match my guess, but this lesson tells me why. Done with Lesson 3. 2 weekends and Russian is not entirely foreign to me. But I should go outside :)

As a Pole, I found the switch from voiced to unvoiced exactly the same in my language. It's just a natural way in which your mouth behaves, it is easier especially at the end of the word not to voice the consonants :)))

You are the best Russian language teacher! I say this because I am Russian.

i'm trying to learn russian with your lessons and you make this hard language look easy, thank you!

i'm actually Russian and my dad speaks fluently to me. This helps a lot to speak to my dad! This is the best pronunciation video ever

Another amazing lesson. And I'm still here! Many thanks for your effort and please keep cracking on.

Amazing. Love the order, organization, authenticity, honesty and humor you put behind your lectures. This works for me in the way I learn. Thank you

You're so cool Daria! I love your classes. I watch your videos all the way 'till the end, without any pauses. And I enjoy your explanations and nice sense of humor
