* Attention please!
Friends and good acquaintances usually address each other with "ты". Saying: "Может, перейдем на ты", the person whom you have just met implies that he/she wants to get on closer terms with you. In the context of formal relations or when you address an older or unknown person you should use "Вы" . Even if you address one person — the verb after "Вы" is used in the second person plural form.

Very good first lesson, I loved it.
ОтветитьУдалитьThank you!
ОтветитьУдалитьСпасибо
ОтветитьУдалитьIt is very clear :)
Спасибо Аиша!
ОтветитьУдалитьvery useful lessons. But for me it would be much easier with the marked accents on russian words
ОтветитьУдалитьThanks
Thank you Jelenko! I edited the lessons. Pay attention to the green letters! You're right, it is very important! When you use syllable stress correctly, the rhythm of your speech will improve and you will find that people understand you much more easily!
ОтветитьУдалитьSpasibo :)
ОтветитьУдалитьПожалуйста!
ОтветитьУдалитьI have questions...
ОтветитьУдалить1) It surprises me anyone asks the age of a person who just met. Especially to a lady! Is it common in Russia?
2) Why do you spell В in вы in uppercase when it's not in the beginning?
3) Я буду учителем английского языка. --> Since Анна is a woman, shouldn't it be Я буду учительницей английского языка.??
Thanks!
Thank you for the questions!
ОтветитьУдалитьHere are the answers:
1. It is considered bad form to ask the age of a person who just met. And yes, especially to a lady!
2. Bы, Ваш - singular (addressed to one person)
вы, ваш - plural (addressed to more than one person).
3. Sometimes, a noun's gender is the opposite of a person's sex. In particular, this applies to occupations and professions, which are normally masculine and ignore the sex of individuals. You may say Он – учитель / Она – учитель. In both cases the word "учитель" is masculine. For some occupations, there are variants for male and female, but even then masculine is preferable and stylistically neutral, while feminine sounds more informal and sometimes rude. Доктор, врач, профессор, художник - these words are stylistically neutral, can be used in both formal and informal speech. You wouldn't offend anyone choosing the masculine even if you are talking about a woman, but feminine nouns would sound ok also.
I'm stil confused about the difference between "Чем" and "что", when asking the question "what?". In "Чем ты увлекаешься?" is there a possessive connotation with "Чем"?
ОтветитьУдалитьMany thanks!
chem (Чем) is the instrumental case there: instrumental case means "with". So, here, Чем means "with what". chto (что) is nominative: same word, different case. anytime you see the word "c" (which means with) the instrumental case is used.
ОтветитьУдалитьyou should begin with russian alphabet :)

УдалитьОчень интересно! Большое спасибо. How to differ between teach and learn.
ОтветитьУдалитья учу русский язык. I teach russian. (I´m a teacher)
Я изучаю русский язык. I learn russian. (I´m a pupil)
Вы можете объяснить расницу.
УдалитьI am learning Russian.
Я изучаю русский язык. (neutral, but sounds somewhat more serious)
Я учу русский язык. (tiny little bit more colloquial; leaves a tiny possibility that you don't actually want to do it).
A native speaker would say: Я изучаю русский.
I am studying at University.
Я учусь в университете.
You can't say Я изучаю университет (that means you are studying the university itself, as a bulding or an entity, its history etc).
You can't say Я изучаюсь в университете (that means you are being studied in the university, as a subject. You can be though if you have an interesting disease.)
A native speaker would say: Я учусь в университете.
I teach Russian.
Я учу русскому языку. (acceptable, but quite colloquial and may mean you do is not in a school)
Я обучаю русскому языку. (more formal, but still leaves room for interpretations)
Я преподаю русский язык. (You are a proper teacher, that is your position.)
A native speaker would say: Я преподаю русский OR Я учитель русского языка.
I teach Russian to the students.
Я учу студентов русскому языку. (colloquial)
Я преподаю студентам русский язык. (formal)
A native speaker would say: Я преподаю русский язык. (omitting "students", as it's already implied by the verb преподаю)
I teach my son how to drive a car.
Я учу сына водить машину. (that's it! No преподавать here)
I am learning to drive a car.
Я учусь водить машину. (neutral, doesn't make you sound formal)
Я изучаю вождение [машины]. (quite formal, you won't hear that in the streets)
A native speaker would say: Я учусь водить OR Я хожу на вождение.
Where did you learn Russian?
Где вы учили русский язык? (when said by a native speaker, may imply that your Russian is poor)
Где вы изучали русский язык? (neutral. No assumptions about your level in Russian).
Who taught you Russian?
Кто учил вас русскому языку? (when said by a native speaker, may imply that your teacher did a poor job)
Кто научил вас русскому языку? (this question may mean the person is surprised you know Russian)
Кто преподавал вам русский язык? (you are specifically asked for the name of the teacher)
I received the link to this site a week ago from a friend in Holland. Since a few months i try to learn Russian language, this will be a great help. Thank you so much for the lessons and translations.
