Daria, thanks for the two conversations with you. Language teachers, those that focus on making it fun, and motivating their learners, like you do, are valuable members of a growing interconnected international community. Best of luck to you.
I was so happy to talk❤️ thank you so much!
You are great, Mr. Kaufmann! As a fellow polyglot, I 100% AGREE with your method. Essentially just "DO IT", don't worry about how you do it, just ENJOY the process. I have subscribed to your channel, cheers mate!
Do you have the link to your platform, Steve? Many thanks.
Thank you for your incredible tips in learning ANY language, I’m learning intensively English right now and my next goal is Spanish, but I didn’t know how to bring myself to it. You are amazing!
I’m 76 and learning Russian……. Love it!
good luck to you (Удачи вам)
I’m 70 and learning the Russian language. It is very difficult.
Steve never grows old. Always healthy, energetic and smart!
My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
Where can I find “Polyglot’s Notes”?
Daria is great. Her slow Russian vlogs were the first comprehensible input I could understand. That was almost three years ago. Since then, my Russian has improved immensely, I've made friendships with Russian speakers, and even spent last summer traveling around eastern Ukraine talking with local Russian speakers. I continue to study. I work with a tutor online several times a week. Most of the Russian material I watch now is just regular Russian language material, like the news etc. but I still watch Daria's material because it's fun and interesting. Good luck everyone. Russian is great and it can be learned!
Congratulations! Let me ask what's your mother language or what language group is your language from?
@@alek4587 Спасибо. Мой родной язык - английский.
@@lindseyzeigler4678 Как насчет языкового обмена? Если Вы заинтересованы, то мои контакты в описании моего профиля. Мой уровень английского pre-intermediate примерно.
Nice, but I'm jealous! 🤣💜
This is one of your best contents so far. Getting Steve kaufman on your platform is amazingly amazing.
thank you:) glad you liked it
I didn't even realize I spoke Canadian until that guy started talking and I understood every word he said!
😐
Agreeing with Elise J... my favorite part was seeing his face light up around 15:30 when he talks about the world that opens up to him through Russian. That's the effect this language can have on people. :)
Thanks for sharing, Steve!! Russian language KZhead educator community is getting stronger by the day 💪
Во первых, спасибо, Дарья! Наверное не поверите но 5 лет назад я начал учить русский именно здесь) мой первый шаг с Real Russian Club и мне очень приятно) Во вторых, прекрасный интервью!! Steve Kauffman он действительно классный мужик! Сейчас я учусь китайский и как всегда он вдохновляет меня. Быть позитивным и вкладывать страсть в то, что вы делаете - вот что является ключом, как вы сказали. Не нужно ни с кем конкурировать. Только желание и любовь познавать и улучшить себя.. шаг за шагом.
Учу* Keep learning languages брат👍🏻
good job! as I can see, your Russian is almost perfect
@@GSpandy , ну он написал вполне логично "учу себя", ибо "учу" переходной глагол. другое дело, что узус (любой, не только русский) плевать хотел на логику, и нелогичные языковые парадигмы -- "наше всё".
Красава , мужик ) продолжай в том же духе
I envy you, your Russian is so good! I only just started, I have a long ways to go.
I totally agree. Using different resources, jumping from one to other, keeps you still focused on learning but not bored because you are using different means.
part of the just listening process I went through with learning Russian, ( still basic), is figuring out the tempo and listening for word separations and syllables. also listening to how some of the more complex sounds ( to an English speaker), are formed. Living in Ontario and having a very large and very friendly Russian community, it makes things a lot easier. Also learning the alphabet is one of the things I found to be key in learning the language.
Thank you! I’m currently trying to teach nyself
it's great that you have a community!
Yes the alphabet is definitely first step, thankfully it's very easy and can be learned in an hour or two
Learning Cyrillic alphabet opened up soooooo much Russian for me. My vocabulary has exploded…not so much retention BUT nonetheless awesome results

The motivation thing - great!

I started your Zero to Fluency videos 18 months ago. It's an excellent foundation. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Russian. Your other lessons are great too.
thank you :)
Clearly, no doubt
I understand 6 foreign languages : English, French, German, Russian, Mandarin, and Japanese.. I also know Arabic, but I forget most of it. I'm a 53 year-old Indonesian. I learned German when I was 21, French when 25, Russian when 30. now I've been learning Chinese since 2017 while at the same time learn Japanese by myself. I took regular classes in all of those languages, except Japanese self-learning.. I even went to Munich 1993 to participate German summer course and 1995 in Reims, France. out of all 7 languages that I've learned, only English and German I'm ready to speak anytime ... Russian, Chinese, and French, I have to get ready first when I want to speak those languages. I forget Arabic, and I just know Japanese but don't speak it ...
@@ayi3455 wow, very impressive!
Fully agree. I would not be learning Russian at all, and having such fun with it, had I not found the Zero to Fluency course. Truly foundational. And Daria is a pleasure to learn from.
Excellent interview! Thank you!
What a amazing interview. I loved it. Thank you both for the inspiring words.
This is a great interview, thanks to both of you.
Steve has a very meaningful approach to language learning.It's pleasure to have him on your channel.
Such a great an inspirational interview
Thank you so much.
Steve is such an inspiration to all of us! 🌟
Exactly! The pleasure is the kie for progress in someone language.
Woa!!! this is really encouraging, thanks lot for the amazing interview, losts of good advices!
Amazing collaboration :)
Really helpful. I love your channel, Daria.
Thank you
Спасибо тебе за это❤️
Thank you. Both of you are really inspiring people.
This is a great perspective. hearing it from Steve reaffirms what I already knew.
Огромное спасибо вам Дарья и Стив за интервью, было очень интересно
thank you so much for your all effort. Sadly time flies otherwise I would tune in for all of your content
I’ve used LingQ and also the Real Russian Verbs Of Motion course and both are fantastic. Thank you 🙏🏽
Спасибо - wonderful to see and hear this talented man Stephen Kauffman - it gave me so much more enthusiasm to carry on with my studies of this beautiful Russian language 😀
This was great Daria, thanks for sharing this interview. When he began speaking about his joy in learning Russian, his whole being opened up. Very inspiring. It’s so good to see that those who speak languages…LEARN languages. They invest time daily. It is a joy, yet it is work. Daria’s ZTF program ushered me into Russian. And others should know, learning the sounds of Russian letters, approximately, is very easy, 1 week. Then you go to a KZhead Russian film, no subtitles, go to the opening credits, all was Greek prior, and you hear yourself sound out S..v..yet..lana. Svetlana! And if like me, you’re hooked :)
Russian is beautiful......it's just like unwrapping an exquisite chocolate ....it is an amazing journey of discovery.....and thank you Daria for having been my very first teacher ! So pleased you managed to team up with Steve for this video as he is truly amazing. Being french I know his french is spot on ! and your english Daria is something else !!!!! keep up the good work you two and thanks again for being there for us Russian learners. All the very best. Мichel XXX
Learning a new language is learning a new way of thinking.
Wow Daria this interview was absolutely phenomenal. You guys hit a lot of key points about learning a language. I stopped learning Russian mostly because of work I didn’t have enough time. But also I was try to learn by looking at the same book. And it was getting too repetitive. But now I’m getting back into learning and trying different videos and books. You’re still my favourite teacher though Daria :) Спасибо
Its nice to see steve here with you, i have been using lingq since 1 year now, i learned russian and norwegian there. and i am glad that i found this amazing platform to learn language.
rlly loved the video
Yeah you’re right many many professors like her sharing their native language and spending all their precious time to share all the material for us interested people to learn this awesome language. Thank you 🙏 all you guys mostly girls sharing all this fenomenal work. We really appreciate y’all.
that was amazing!!!
Awesome interview! I started my Russian language journey with Real Russian Club and recently bought a lifetime subscription to LingQ Russian!
Handsome man! You two conversed so naturally considering it was an interview.
поздравления за гениальное интервью!!
Congratulations, Daria, for inviting Steve Kaufmann to your channel. I love studying languages (and Russian is one of them!), and Steve is an inspiration to me. One day I will be a polyglot just like him. Thanks for the interview with him! I love your videos and lessons too, Daria. Я желаю тебе и Steve всего наилучшего!
I respect this man in every level. I am learning Russian language. I have to say I have a long way to walk and to learn in Russian.
Literally this video made me to do hard work on Russian 🌼😃
Darla, thanks for the good lessons I am learning about 6 different languages right now so I appreciate what you do .
Just finished Cruel Romance in english subtitles. Thank you for recommending this movie! The ending had my jaw drop lol Also your content is getting more impressive. Love your channel!
Love this
Steve Kauffman is a legend 🙏🔥
Wow! Спасибо большое для видео Даря! I liked Steve's more laid-back approach to language learning!
Yay! Multiple sources and learning from different angles! I'm on the right track!
yaaay:)
Great advice and interesting discussion with two excellent teachers and language KZhead leaders. Спасибо!
thank you so much!
No, I did not know him, but it's great to have pertinent advices from an expert.
Finally someone who makes sense. I've learned most of my English through video games, movies, series and later books. I started with reading and listening first. Then I went into typing answers and questions online. I didn't start speaking until quite a lot later. It's not super easy to do. However, when you know what words to use and how to structure sentences in a way that you can have a decent conversation, talking becomes way easier. It truly makes a difference if you start at that point. I hated having to talk in French in (Dutch) high school when I could hardly say anything. It was a nightmare for me. I've not done anything with languages for years due to the stress I experienced back then :/
Singing helped me a lot
great man!
enjoy the process
Steve will be such a great guest!
yeah :)
your vids are marvelous. i stumbled on something that's fun, flip the language: eng-ger/deu-eng, eng-rus/rus-eng/rus-nem. bouncing out of the native-lang comfort zone. fascinating!
This person so inspiring I have listened him in different podcast and is really awesome 👏 Russian is a journey I agreed
yes, he’s awesome👍🏻
Круто! Я не ожидал видеть Кауфман. Хорошая работа и спасибо за видео.
Wonderful! So encouraging. My friend and I are going through your ZTF course and we're thoroughly enjoying it. I'm surprising myself at how much I'm improving in the Russian language. Спасибо!!!!
I’m so happy to hear it❤️
Забавно наблюдать иностранцев изучающих русский язык.
Спасибо большое Дарья и Стивен, очень интересно, конечно буду сматрить на фильм жестокий романс. Хорошего дня вам 😁
If I may, правильно сказать: буду смотреть фильм. If you use "на", it translates as if you are "looking _at_ the film," but not actually _watching_ it 😉
это отличный фильм
@@APlusRussian спасибо, буду смотреть фильм сегодня вечером 🍷
@@XxDuhBirdsxX Всегда пожалуйста 😊
Some of my favorite language teachers
thank you :)
Nice discussion I like it thank u for it 🤗
thank you for watching
Спасибо , очень интересно
So imspaiaring video.
Amazing! Daria you are a wonderful teacher I'm finishing up your lesson 22 and I feel that I understand a lot for someone who has only studied Russian for 2 weeks or so.
Are you still learning?
WHAT!? WHAT!? WHAAAAT!?🤯 I thought that's a mistake in the thumbnail! I don't know who's idea was that but bravo! Crazy collaboration. Do that again. Invite Luca Lampariello!
I'm glad you like it :)
He a very respected and famous!
it's so interesting to see how present Steve is, connecting with you through gaze, you often look away, a habit I have as well while im concentrating on speaking...but yeh fascinating, Steve must have a really grounded balanced brain, haha hopefully we'll be able to hold eyecontact down the line
not to ruin the impression, but the thing is that we were shooting on multiple cameras, and didn’t look at each other at all😂 it was the first time for me, Steve has much more experience doing this type of interviews:)
@@RealRussianClub yes yes, I understand. looking at the lens, I mean:)
I am Spanish and I started learning Russian because I follow a singer who sings in Russian, and I watch a lot of videos in KZhead with a lot of comments in Russian, and a lot of people speaking Russian and I want to know what they are saying...😀😅🙃 first of all I'm learning the Cyrillic alphabet so that I can transcribe the words into the Roman one.... It's quite a hard work, but I like learning languages and about other countries and cultures. I have just subscribed to your channel and to the free course which I think will help me a lot. Spasibo bolshoe☺☺
Greetings from Mexico! Congratulations to Mr. Steve Kaufmann!! I like to study languages.
👍🏻👍🏻
Молодец!!! Очень хорошо 👍👍👍
Yes, that's on point, ive purchased tons of audiobooks im russian on liters oh i live this Man, that's my method as well, when i was starting i did exact the same thing.
👍🏻👍🏻
Даша, спасибо за интервью! Ты - отличный интервьюер! Сейчас вспоминаю, как брала интервью у тебя...
приветище!
@@RealRussianClub ага, родная, привет, привет!
Very encouraging. I’m 45 and have just started the journey to learn Russian. Hope I can endure 😅
Каждый день 🙏
I love Daria, I started early on following her sight. She's not only beautiful, but a great teacher.Everything said in this video was very pertinent to what a person would need. I have been taking Russsian for 1.5 years, and yet I don't know if I could follow a native at the train station as fast as they speak.
Nice positive guy in his ages.
Ай да Стивен, ай да Молодец (именно с большой буквы)!!! Даже промежуточное "как бы это сказать" правильно и вовремя использует!!! 8-)
Many people want the practicalities of accurate multiple language communication without the necessary resources and we too can turn to you
Very interesting interview Daria...I have spoken English and Spanish more than half my life, then in 2017 I decided to teach myself German, when German became boring I started teaching myself Hungarian (paternal family roots) and then a little over a year ago I started with Russian. For my Russian I watch your channel and use Duolingo for on the go practice. I don't have much opportunity to put what I have learned to use but try whenever I can. Once, while first learning Hungarian, I was at the grocery and heard two ladies talking. I listened, decided they were speaking Hungarian and took the opportunity to engage in conversation. There is an offcier in the department where I am working who immigrated from Russia, we have had the opportunity to speak on a couple of occasions. Being able to put those skill into practical application is quite rewarding. While I had always been told that Hungarian and Finnish are two languages that have no ties to other languages I am finding some crossover between Hungarian and Russian. One example the word for bear (H) Medve (R) медведь they are written different but sound very similar. Also German the language is Nemetul in Hungarian (the country is Nemet) and in Russian the language is Немецкий. Apologies for the long winded post, but I find the study of language very interesting. Thanks for all you do.
Hungarian seemed horribly difficult to me when I traveled there
Great to hear this inspiring talk. I love learning the Russian language even though here in Canada I have to study on my own. My progress is steady but slow. I get excited every time I find a Russian word that is similar to a Finnish word. Recently it was апельсин, appelsiini in Finnish. I knew the word appelsiini long before I learned the English word orange. So studying the Russian language never gets old for me.
I have just now had an апельсин 🍊
In Canada, may be, it's advisable to study Ukrainian.
Wow! I did not know that orange is similar in Finnish!
I watch films on Star Media on KZhead. This is a fun way to hear it spoken.
there are many Russian movies on KZhead:)
@@RealRussianClub yes. I’ve watched every Russian show on Netflix. Мажор (Silver Spoon) is my favorite. Waiting for season 3.
Daria and Steve, you are probably the two people who inspired me to start learning Russian about two or three years ago. Thank you.
Здарова. Как проходит изучения русского языка?
@@GSpandy Очень хорошо, спасибо ! У меня отличный репетитор.
@@TonyKZheadChannel АА
I have started learning Russian. I have mostly learnt the Alphabet. Then I have learnt a few phrases from Anna Detective. Now I am writing in russian to my teacher.
What is that film he mentioned, the one you said was your favorite? I didn't catch the title. And thanks so much for that interview. I really enjoyed it!
I am beginner at learning russian, but it is fun to learn slavic language. I can speak little russian after 2 week study😀
I have French and Latin and Spanish and Russian but Russian is my favorite and always have been. I just love languages.
Don't you seem to find that many polyglots really like Russian? So many list Russian on the list of languages they speak. Russian is my favourite, too, though I still can barely say anything. Also good choice with the other languages you have. Je parle aussi français.
Engaging progressive content seems to be the best way for me to get the most progress. A lot of random lessons on KZhead seem like lists of words or most common phrases without much context. Stories or topics using the vocab stick with you much longer than memorizing lists and tables. (for my learning style at least)
yes, words stick in our memory much better if they are put in context
100%. I tried learning arabic from a book and it was so bad and I gave up. With Russian there’s a lot more readily available media for me to consume and i only “study” when I feel like it(maybe 5 hours a week) and I remember and understand a lot that it’s surprising. It makes me want to study even more. I don’t think “ugh time to go slog through a lesson”, “ooh i get to learn something new and become better at russian. I know it’s just a matter of time before I’m 99% fluent
For me i noted that memorizing songs helps with vocabulary and giving my opinion constantly in my target language it's something that helps me to practice constantly./Что касаться меня, отметил что, запоминание песен помогает с пополниением словорного запаса и постаянно высказываю свое мнение на свое целовом язык, это что-то помогает меня практиковать словорный постаянно.
Russian seems to be a very interesting language
Good stuff motivated till i get it 🤩🇲🇽
yaaaay :D
Every language starts from listening and speaking, after became at least free from barrier of lang communication you can proceed with grammar (reading and writing), that is my point
really encouraging words. im slowly getting discouraged, i am trying to slowly learn 7 at the time, but hey thats my own fault
It's a marathon, not a sprint - you'll get there, even if it's 1 word at a time 💗
good luck!
11:26 sums up everything, how can you speak if you don't understand anything said by the person you are talking to?My advice is listen, watch, learn vocabulary everyday, do it everyday, this is the best method for learning any language, you must make it a part of your life, there are tons of free russian tv and movie channels around
Came here to learn Russian and getting flashbacks of my time in Latvia! Whew the women there I tell ya!!
I always wanted to speak Russian-Canadian
