Usually, the main purpose of learning the Russian language is the ability to communicate with native speakers. But for some reason, it's extremely difficult to become fluent. Even if you know Russian grammar and vocabulary, even if you've been learning this language for years, you still might be struggling with awkward pauses when it comes to a real conversation.
Maybe you start a phrase, but you hesitate every time because you're not sure how to express your thought in Russian. You know perfectly well how to say it in your language, but you're just not 100% sure how to translate it. As a result, you are slow and shy - far from feeling fluent.
Enough! Today I'm going to give you the first tip on learning the Russian language: how to learn thinking directly in Russian and how to eliminate hesitation when you speak.
Most students believe that thinking in any foreign language is difficult, or that it's a special gift. And in reality thinking in Russian is a skill that even beginners can learn and practice! Long story short, here are the step by step instructions on how to think in Russian.

Real Russian Club thank you very,very much. You are gorgeous. It is very useful for everyone who learns Russian language.💙🇦🇿❤
Все таки на сколько легче понимать русских англоговорящих чем нативов. 99% сказанного понял, будь это натив понял бы процентов 80.
Ediv Koze та же фигня, смотрю видео по английскому языку, это видео появилось в рекомендованных. Так здесь на слух гораздо понятнее.
Awesome advice! Thank you. When I was most successful in studying Russian, I would conjure the thought behind the English word and replace it with the Russian word. When I began thinking in Russian, the Russian thoughts I had would just flow out as words, but it never occurred to me to do what you advise. It makes perfect sense. It seems crazy I never realized what you're saying. теперь хочу снова начать изучать русский! Больщое спасибо.
Если бы ты говорила только на Русском ,я подумал бы что ты Русская . Отличное произношение!
"Name every object around you right now in Russian." Me: *literally just started learning greetings one hour ago*
I've been using Duolingo for almost 100 days now. This channel has been _heaps_ helpful in parts that I wish Duolingo explained. Keep it up :)
Okay, here's something you may already know about. If you don't that's cool, but if you do just kindly disregard. Okay? "Здравствуйте," or, Zdravstvuytye," is hello for greeting someone you're not familiar with or someone you've just been introduced to. You can also say just, "zdravstvuy," for, "Hi." "Привет," or, "Preevyet," is hello, hi, howdy, etc., to known others
And пока "pucka" is an informal bye, while до скорого "doh skorovo" is more like "see you later", and до свидания "do svedanya" is a slightly more formal goodbye. I've heard, but not sure if true, that дания "danya" is another informal goodbye but can't be sure of that one. Have a good day! Пока хорошо день
@@carneeki Добрый день.
Me native speaking Russian:Haha I m 4 parallel universes ahead of you
im russian and its so intresting listen about my language from another people)))
Your country and your language are BEAUTIFUL!
Ваша страна и культура, просто поражает мое воображение )
Наталья Ломацкая don't understand your Russian language but I want to learn Russian language ....how i learn plz help and guide
maria awan I can try to help you.
Its hard
"Name every object around you right now in Russian." *me, frantically trying to find an object i can name*
😂
I just did a similar thing. The app i'm using focused on fruits and veg first but I know my colors so I'm just naming what color all the random stuff around me is. Practice what you know and keep adding vocab everyday :)
ахаха, жизненно, у меня так же с английским)
Привет из Латинской Америки из Лимы Перу 🇵🇪! 👍
I would love one day for my Russian to be as good as your English Daria. You explain in English better than some American English speakers.
haha thank you :D
its normal when you learn another language you become better at explanation . i speak 5 languages now i have a bielorussian girlfriend so im learning russian . wish me the best guys :D
FIRE SPARKS How did it go? Well I hope.
i think thats pretty normal. my native language is slovenian and its really hard for me to explain some rules
Wait she’s Russian lol
I used these strategies (without knowing what to call them) years ago when I was studying Russian in the military. I used to walk to work, about 45 minutes each way and as I walked I would describe my surroundings in my head, or make a list of things to do, or simply re-hash over the previous day's vocabulary. I ended up graduating at the top of my class and giving a valedictory speech in Russian. :)
hello Kathryn! nice to see you here:)
happy to hear that:)
@@jbgem82 likely not. in new jersey most likely.
parkplace6677 you are so stupid! That time died not only Ukrainians, but Russians in the southern regions and in Volga areas, in Kazakhstan. But nationalistic Ukrainians are thinking only about themselves and politically speculating on this tragedy of that time. If you forgot, read about those nazi Ukrainians who burned alive Polish, Jewish people and those who didn’t support them. My grandma told me what they were doing in her village during the WW2.
This is awesome to know. Ive been doing this with French lately, just describing things out loud or saying what i plan to do that day in French. And now i'm starting to learn Russian, so stoked. Also the fact you were doing it doing it everyday probably helped a lot
Great tips. Thank you. The Russian language is one of the most beautiful languages spoken.
This woman is the real deal. Smart and beautiful 😍 thank you for your videos.
I love your pronunciation in Russian, and English. You are very easy to listen to, and follow great job.
thank you:)
Ha! I had started I could pretend I'm in Russia, and then I started saying "Da" to my friends instead of "Yes"... Great tips, thanks!
haha
Да, That is a very good idea🤔🔥
I started saying hi and thank you to Walmart greeters, they gave me some weird looks
Хотите учить русский? Пишите свой WhatsApр, я учу английский
I do that to everyone
Just started learning Russian this week and am very excited. I was adopted from a city south of Moscow as a young boy and never learned the language. Although I’m only a few days in, I don’t find learning it to be as overwhelming as learning other languages including Spanish. This might be due to my inclination to learn but I find it kind of easy to catch on reading and writing- speaking not so much
It may be your old memories deep down your sub-cortex
Thank you too much... i am a new student in Russian in OFA city . i like your way in teaching . all your lessens too useful to me .... Thank you again
I agee with you 100%. actually I am a language teacher. I teach Korean to foreign workers in Korea (south) I would apply your advise to my students. Благодарю вас!
If you would live in North you would not have access to youtube

I don't know if I am nicely surprised by your perfect English pronounciation or by your smart way to explain how russian languange can be easily understood. прикуьлно!
спасибо:)
Прикольно*
Прикульно)))
im so sorry but i похохотала основательно. Это интересно звучит.. вполне))
Myrna, cómo le haces para escribir en ruso. Gracias
This was recommended at the right time 🙏
Learn Russian my comrades, we are going to need it.
your hair colour .. amazing...
Ci0 mio like rays of Golden sun x)
haha that's too much :D
What woman likes blorange!?
In russian a girl with that color of hair is called: "рыжая няшка" [ruijaya nyashka]. Literally: рыжая - orange; няшка - cute girl.
Олег Сорокин, почти 30 лет живу в России и впервые слышу об этом :D
at the beginning I used to put some post-it on the objects around me, every noun written in cyrillic and below how to pronounce them: malakò, gazèta, tilifòn, kampiùter, haladìlnik…I think it was very useful, i felt myself surrounded by the russian language! Thank you for your videos, a wonderful way to learn English and Russian at the same time
I like the idea of using post-it notes in your apartment:)
I recently moved to the university dorms and got the room with those post-it nots everywhere. It's so fun. I need to think the previous people for that.
apprendere i did it with german
When I go to the shops for groceries, more and more of my shopping list is in Russian. But smetimes I am in the shop and I forget what a word means. I am in love with this beautiful language and I am only at the begining of my journey to learning it. A couple of months ago I said in an email (when I requested if I could join her real russian club) to Daria that I promised that I would learn russian. And I don't break my promises.
This is how I learned English and French first. I'm currently learning Russian and even though it is a little hard I'm really enjoying it. Greetings from Mexico!!!
Thanks so much, Daria! I realized I was already subconsciously doing this a little bit and it did help now that I think of it. Now that I am actually conscious of it, I can do it even more! Thank you for all your help.
По таким видео можно еще новичкам улучшать навык понимания английской речи на слух. Класс👍
А я выучил русский
You are very intelligent Daria! And you know the subject and teaching method so well! I think, your personal experience with studding English and analyzing your own minds working ( the sign of superb intelligence) makes you such a great teacher!
Your videos have helped me to learn the Russian language in ways that I haven't discovered before! This is beyond helpful and such a joy to have found. Please, if you are able, continue these. Thank you so so much. Your voice is assuring and so lovely too!
The care n detail with which you explain those well thought out examples is so motivating and condusive to learning. Fabulous habit to develop! Thanks a million.
Great advice! Your timing is amazing! I just started using these techniques more recently. It's a very simple, yet effective idea. Thinking in Russian while relaxed is key...
true:)
Mike do u study alone or with a teacher?
Wonderful video! I am learning Russian now, and want to watch as many informative videos as I can from native speakers. My grandmother was fluent in Russian, and many other languages and I have a passion for Russian as well..which is beautiful. I want to learn and speak as much as I can!
What makes you a great teacher, is not just your abilities, but you are thoughtful. You are an amazing person, I thank you for your videos.
Спасибо Daria, you are a fantastic teacher, this is what was missing in my everyday practice (to think russian instead of translating in my head)!
These are excellent and very practical advice. Thank you.
This is great advice and can be applied to learning other languages as well.
I am an English teacher in India, from now you are my Russian language teacher.🤗
Your english it's so clear! I'm learning russian and also training my english listening. I'm grateful! Greetings from Brazil!
Impressive! Practical methods. Thank you.
I've just started learning Russian. And you make it so much easier! I get a classroom vibe from your videos and that really helps. Definitely subscribing, and thank you for the tips!
thank you so much:))
The more I listen to this language the more I fall in love with it 😋 thanks for the video
Looks so smart with so clear English ,that's amazing ,thank you
I am a Norwegian, and I speak Russian. I have been teaching Norwegian to Russians for 10 years, and one huge difference between Russians and Norwegians when it comes to learning a foreign language, is a thing the lady in the vid is mentioning, although more as a universal fact considering everyone, namely: in an educational setting, Russians are nervous of saying something wrong, making mistakes in front of the class and to make a fool of themselves. In a math class you can just sit still and stfu, nobody notice your lack of knowledge. In a language class however, in order to improve, one HAS TO actively use the language AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE in order to improve in practical use of the language. When I was studying Russian with my fellow Norwegian friends at university, we had great fun! We made loads of mistakes all the time, but noone were afraid of failing, we all knew the purpose of the class; to learn and improve everyday, learning by doing, basically. And boy, did we improve! Our relaxed attitude helped us a long way in acquiring knowledge and skills, much more so than what I see in most Russian stone faces in the classes. Therefore, it is one of the first things I mention to a new class of Russians starting to learn Norwegian: leave your stiffness and solemnity at home (or back in the USSR, where this way of thinking has its origins), lower your shoulders and have fun! You will learn Norwegian much faster, and you will enjoy it too! My impression is that most Westerners think the same way as Norwegians when it comes to learning languages, so the advice in the vid is somewhat more relevant to Russians learning a foreign language, than to Westerners. The advice might be good though, for the Chinese and the North Koreans.
I speak 6 languages and have just started learning Russian and the advice you give in this video is the best I have heard so far as it is what I have done with all other languages.
Your petren and your style to teach russian is so easy and good, I love Russian and try to learn from your videos ... It's really working)
Thank you so much. This seems like it should be such an obvious tip but until this video I never really considered doing it this way! It's brilliant and so very helpful.
Great tips not only for learning russian. Thank you!
Yup. Exactly why I clicked even though im not learning Russian (yet). Best advice I've received in language learning EVER!
Thank you for some excellent advice; I shall try to put it into practice (as soon as i learn e Sufficient words!) Btw.... you speak english beautifully, i could listen to your accent for hours.... now if i can just get my tongue arount vy and ty!!!
Useful class with eloquent pronunciation may you be happy, healthy and successful always
Thank you for making this video, you're obviously smart and creative.
Чувствуется, что русский у девушки родной язык))) Подпишусь, посмотрю как иностранцев учат)
ахах зачем)
Real Russian Club это интересно, что думают, как говорят говорят англоговорящие
parkplace6677 I hope you have a good day too ! god bless you !
Понятно, что чувствуется, к слову, лучший учитель -- носитель. Английский у неё кстати не отличим от носителя Английского
You don't know true.
You are an excellent teacher. Your approach is the same one that my favourite Spanish professor used when I was in university. Her teaching style worked so well that I eventually started to dream in Spanish.
that's great:)
I'm currently studying several other languages, but clicked here because I've been considering adding Russian to the list. I think these tips apply to learning any language, very good advice! Wish me luck!
Thank you 🙏 thank you sooooo much for posting this kind of videos. Really really appreciate you. Больше спасибо 🙏 тебе.
I really love the Russian language and Russian people. They are beautiful ❤
This is so informative and really so great. Thanks Daria!
I pretty much love you Daria. I am beginning to try and learn Russian and enjoy it so much. Your youtube channel, podcast, audiobooks, etc, are sooo helpful. Plus I love your voice. I just want to say thank you for providing these materials with no cost. I think that's incredible. I will be glad to pay for some of the things on your site and feel good about showing my support. Спасибо!
awww thank you so much for the kind words🤗
Useful class with eloquent pronunciation may you be happy, healthy and successful always.
I so happy i found this!! My parents are Polish so i can understand a bit when i hear them speaking or when i hear people in the streets, but as you said when it comes to talking, i find that my grandmother gets bored with the conversation very easily!! Thank you for the tips, they were very helpful and i will definitely use them. I also appreciate that Russian and Polish are quite similar with the words that we use, so this will be the next language i move onto! :)
I can read in Polish and understand 70%, but I have no idea how to speak Polish))
Thanks for uploading this vidio.
Oooh, I didn't even know you had a newsletter! I'm so excited! :D thank you for teaching us.
You are an awesome language teacher. Love your style and personality.
This helps me a lot! I am a beginner. This fastens my learning. Every time I learn a new phrase I immediately apply the thinking in russian method, and I could not only remember it the next day I am actually believing it. This definitely improves my confidence when trying to speak Russian with Russians. Bolshoy spasibo! :)
that's great:)
Хороший совет. Я сделаю! Спасибо.
Julian Возможно, это будет немного грубо, но правильнее на русском сказать не "я сделаю совет", а "я воспользуюсь советом". Удачи в изучении!
совет means advice? Fascinating. Makes me wonder at the roots of советский союз.
Я точно могу перевести одно слово-fack you
I’d love to learn Russian because of you , you made it easy , I thought it too hard to learn many thanks to you
You are the best!!! This video is just what I needed.
С детства говорю на русском языке, но здесь увидел уникальную возможность научиться ещё и думать!!! ))
🤗🤗😊😊
You are my teacher from today.
great:)
This is very good advice, and applies to all languages to switch your head into the right way of functioning. Very well done.
This helped a lot! I'm always trying to translate Russian words into English ones. It just makes so much more sense to look at a table and think стол, rather than "стол" = "table"
Безусловно шикарное видео! Вы говорите прекрасно по-английски и мне очень нравится как вы артикулируете говоря по-русски. Вы молодец! больше хороших видео !
большое спасибо:)
"Speaking" is really two components: Listening comprehension, and also outgoing expression of ideas. The former is more difficult. (I'm really addressing communication, not speaking. But, I believe that is what you are really addressing here.)
Your way to explain is just amazing.
You are my teacher now....thank you so much for your valuable tips.... I will apply these tips😃
I am learning russian to be able to speak to my husband in his mother tongue. Your videos are fantastic, thank you!
thank you:)
Там-там-там. Кажется Россия где-то за углом ;)
The same advice you can to use for learning any foreign language.
Nice, this video was awesome. Actually I'm learning English and I want learn Russian. Thanks for the good content and now you have a new subscriber 😀
These are incredibly helpful tips! Thank you!

Outstanding information ‼️Thank You 🇷🇺🇺🇸
I was a bit skeptical when I clicked the video but it sounds really useful. I'm starting right away. Thanks.
So far I like all your videos, and you are so nice to give them for free! Besides this you are easy to listen to and your hair color changes a lot also - I like all of them so far. Obviously you are well educated, at what age did you start to learn English it's very impressive. I also enjoy the humor and laughing at your own drawings it helps me to see that you do not take yourself so seriously.
brilliant ! thanks
Not to promote alcoholism, but talking after a few beers is MUCH easier. Words seem to flow, I think because we are more relaxed. I lived in Latin America for four years and taught myself Spanish to near fluency. . I realized at one point, when I reached a conversational level, that I started thinking in Spanish. It came naturally, but I will try your method by forcing myself to think in Russian even at this beginner level. . We are at the mercy of native teachers. One day I wanted to write down all the things I did at home and learn to say them in Russian. "Im going to make up my bed"...."I wonder whats in the fridge" etc. Problem is, where can we find these phrases? We can't trust a translator. Even some of the most simple phrases I make notes of, a Russian friend looked at them, and corrected about 30% of them saying "no, no one would say it that way in Russian"
that's why listening to the authentic materials is important:)
When I started thinking in Spanish, I freaked out....I felt like I was losing my American English identity and stopped!! Sad, I know! I want to think in Russian so badly and will NOT freak out if that ever happens. My blood is Russian, not Spanish!
Were you drinking vodka ;)
Jeffrey D Get Google Translate, Russian has pronunciation, when you want break down the sentences, change number or gender in it, you'll figure it out.
Hahaha so true. Alcohol helps automaticity in conversation tho not fluency hahah
She must be a legend now, her Channel and subscriptions are world famous. I am happy for her, she is a lovely person.
Dearest Daria, That's the way it works (since I speak Russian ~ 50 yrs).. .. аnd my singing the grammar in the bathroom with old Russian melodies. I love to speak it, to think in Russian.. and to use every chance to speak it. I'm very fare from perfect, but I love it.. Sometimes 100 gr. helps to think in this rich language also..За дружбу.. :) Greetings from Germany
Time to think in Russian!
Read Cyrillic in your head moment
That accent😍😍💘
I was happy to see you mention кофе. I knew that word in Russian. ☕ I just started learning Russian this week.
Thank you Lady for sharing beautiful Russian learning tools.
I just found this video and I'm trying to learn russian. 🇺🇸
Start with this: vsjo nashe, tavaite bomb Kiev.
@@rapator9270. Get out !
After five years of Russian in school, I still couldn't speak or understand very well. I had to live there for a couple years AS I was studying the language before I could be fluent.
That's excellent advice, I never thought of it like that. Thank you.
Большое спасибо, Дарья ❤️
Спасибо вам за видео! я бы хотел добавить несколько приемов из своего личнего опыта, так как я жил в России почти 7 лет. 1) забудь тот язык которого ты до этого знал и начни учить все слова заново как ребенок и пойми что дом это место где живут люди а никак не House!!! 2) старайся выучить слова не по отдельности, так как слово теряет свое значение, а выучить новые слова вместе с каким-нибудь выражением. 3) каждый день перед сном повторяй от 20 до 50 слов, а днем освой от 20 новых слов. 4) чтобы ты говорил без акцента по-русски то тебе нужно делать след.: а) Изменить тембр голоса в соответствии с частотами звуков русского алфавита. b) наблюдать за то как двигаются губы, руки и тело у носителей языка, и стараться копировать их.
спасибо:)
вам тоже спасибо за эти уроки ;)
Злата Шурик я родом из Иордании! Может быть :)) так как я долго жил в России

Makes sense, a child learns words then small phrases
I think she is right! 😊 Thank you so much!
I have my first Russian lesson today. This is excellent advice, its exactly this that helped me learn French.
I think like a gopnik all the time, does that count?
as long as it helps to learn Russian, why not :D
Because it might contribute heavily to one's early demise when visiting russian speaking languages, thank you very much Daria.(:
If you think like Gopnik then all you need to learn is Semechki, Kompot, Cyka Blyat Debil 🤣 Rush B
But in all honesty, I love Slavic languages I feel Russian is very similar to Polish, this is a very useful video Thanks
Oi blyat
Универсальный совет, спасибо! Поможет в изучении любого языка. Very universal advice, thank you! It can help with any language. Так же хотел бы посоветовать читать литературу (желательно) классическую, как например: "Горе от ума" Грибоедова.Но только тогда, когда освоитесь и будете уверены в себе(не через месяц).
И не через год. И не через два. Найс совет.
This is a wonderful helpful video -- these are all really great tips for learning *any* language!
I love your honesty.
I need to learn proper Russian. I can speak Russian to people but I learned in the US when I was a teenager from other teenagers and i'm too slang. Plus English my 2nd language because I spoke French first with my family. I tell people all the time to try to think in that language. The problem is over time you mix everything at least for me. I mix all 3 languages mentally and if I'm not careful I sound like a mess lol
in that case you should read more classics :D
Real Russian Club I haven't read much. Seen many movies and even though it's 2017 I still love my Ruki Verh and Akula I don't want to admit how many CDs I have potomyshta R beznadezhni e eto peezdetc
