Real easy and slow Russian conversation in Russian language about family Nikita's channel @InhaleRussian How to work with videos to progress faster - my recommendations FOR INPUT LEARNERS: WATCH Watch a video without subtitles REWATCH Rewatch the same video without subtitles several times every other day or two (but stop when you start getting bored with it! This is important) *If you feel like mimicking certain sounds or words, go ahead. But my advise - on early stages do it only if it feels natural, usually when some sound or word sounds familiar, funny, strange, remarkable - in other words "calls for a respond" from you. When you're about A1-B1 level of oral comprehension (really depends on your ear) you can start practicing "shadowing" - repeating out loud the whole phrases as the video/audio plays. LISTEN When you remember the visual content of the video so well that you can picture it in your head, just by audio, without looking at the screen - start listening the audio versions of the video on the go/in the background throughout the day in your earphones or speakers. Relisten to the audios as many times as possible without getting sick of it. FOLLOW THE TEXT (Recommended at about A2 level of oral comrehension) If you have reading in Russian as a goal, turn on Russian subtitles (but not Russian auto-generated) or use transcriptions, and follow the text with your eyes while listening to the audio/video. WRITE A DICTATION (Recommended at higher stages about B1-B2 level of comprehension) Write a dictation playing the video and pausing for writing down the text. Use the subtitles or transcriptions for a self-check. TRANSCRIPTIONS AUDIOS PREMIUM VIDEOS Monthly Group calls
TRANSCRIPTIONS help you: develop your reading and writing skills solidate your knowledge of what you've acquired from the video DOC: easily adjustable to a mobile screen (unlike PDF) Editable for marking the text and making notes Printable and easy for making notes between the lines on paper if you like hand-learning I recommend using the transcriptions for: following the text while listening to video/audio extensive reading intensive reading checking your dictation PREMIUM VIDEOS If you want to progress faster you need lots of quality comprehenible input every day. Watch stuff from me that's a little too edgy for YouTube: personal stories, video diary, extended interviews and more. AUDIOS mp3 help you increase your listening immersion by 3-10 times Recommendations: Play them on the go/in the background throughout the day Use an app with audio speed control, a repeat mode and playlists features (For beginners) Listen to audios only after you've watched the video so that you can associate the speech in the audio with illustrations you remember from the video Monthly Group calls Q&A, discuss input learning, share progress, get support (in English) Friendly talks (in Russian) TRANSCRIPTIONS AUDIOS PREMIUM VIDEOS Monthly Group calls
