Hello, Steve here again, Steve Kaufmann.

And today I have the pleasure of speaking with an online teacher of

Russian, Daria of Real Russian club. |达里亚||||

Okay.

Daria, I'm going to ask you to introduce yourself and then I have a number of

questions that I would like to ask.

...I want to start with the word that horrifies all the beginners in Russian. ||||||||ужасает||||| ||||||||horrifie||||| ||||||||frightens||||| ||||||||horripila||||| ||||||||spaventa||||| ||||||||令人恐惧||||| ||||||||恐れさせる||||| ...Я хочу начать со слова, которое приводит в ужас всех начинающих русский язык.

Uh, so yeah, I'm a teacher. А, так да, я учитель.

You said I'm an online teacher about also, I am a teacher at |||||||aussi||||| ||||||||||||at Ви сказали, що я також онлайн-вчитель, я вчитель у

the university at CU Boulder. |||CU|Болдер |||CU|Boulder |||Colorado|Boulder Colorado |||a|Boulder |||CU| |||科罗拉多|博尔德 |||CU|ボルダー ||||Universidad de Boulder университет в CU Боулдер.

Uh, so I teach offline, I teach online and I try to find this balance to find ||||офлайн|||||||||||| ||||hors ligne|||||||||||| ||||対面で|||||||||||| ||||||||||||找到||||

this perfect way of learning Russian for people who learn with teacher, это идеальный способ изучения русского языка для людей, которые учатся с учителем,

with a teacher, for people who learn, um, by themselves, on their own. |||||||||eux-mêmes|||

So that's, that's pretty much what I try to do. ||isso|||||||

Okay.

We will leave a link to your YouTube channel in the description box. ||laisser||||||||||

Um, so there was a very famous Hungarian polyglot Kato Lomb or Lomb Kato who said, |||||||||Като|Ломб||||| |||||||||Kato|Lomb||||| |||||||||Kato Lomb|Kato Lomb||||| |||||||||カトー|ロンブ|||||

who had a formula for language learning, which essentially was that it's a, it's a ||||||||по сути||||||

function of the motivation of the learner, the time put in divided by inhibition, |||||||время||||||инhibition |||||||||||divisé||l'inhibition |||||||||||by inhibition||suppression |||||||||||||Hemmung |||||||||投入|||| |||||||||かけた||||抑制 функция на мотивацията на ученика, на вложеното време, разделено на инхибицията,

frustration, difficulty and everything that reduces the level of motivation. |трудность|||||||| 欲求不満、困難、そしてモチベーションのレベルを下げるすべてのもの。

So my first question is how do you, what do you do to increase the |||||||||||||augmenter|

motivation for people to learn Russian?

And what do you do to decrease the difficulties, real or imagined, that ||||||réduire|||||imaginées| ||||||reduce|||||| ||||||減らす|||||想像上の| ||||||ridurre|||||| И какво правите, за да намалите трудностите, реални или въображаеми, които

are there in the Russian language?

Oh, first of all, I think the most important thing is to use the materials

that are interesting for students.

It's hard to do it online, but offline I always try to ask in |||||||||toujours||||

a very first, uh, how to say?

On the very first lesson, I try to ask some personal questions: what they

like, what they are interested in, like somebody, uh, can be interested

in um, you know, science, chemistry, somebody might like motorcycles. в|||||химия||||мотоциклы |||||chimie||||les motos |||||化学||||バイク |||||chimica||||

If somebody is a fan of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings |||||||||Властелин||| |quelqu'un|||||Harry|Potter||Seigneur||| |||||||||of the Rings|||the Rings ||||||ハリー|ポッター||||| Ако някой е фен на Хари Потър или "Властелинът на пръстените

or Star Wars or anything. или Star Wars или нещо друго.

So at the very beginning, when people cannot deal with authentic Russian Така че в самото начало, когато хората не могат да се справят с автентичния руски

materials as much, I try to use something they like uh, in Russian, for материали, колкото, Опитвам се да използвам нещо, което им харесва ъ, на руски, за

example, we are going to use Star Wars characters in Russian, making dialogues ||||||||персонажей||||

between, I don't know, Darth Vader and Yoda, completely made up of course. ||||Дарт|Вейдер||||||| ||||Darth|Vader||||fait||| ||||ダース|ヴェイダー||||||| |||||||||feito||| ||||Darth|Vader||||||| между, не знам, Дарт Вейдър и Йода, напълно измислени, разбира се.

Um, so something that would keep people engaged rather than using |||||||вовлеченными|||

random characters, like some Sylvia from Italy comes to Russia and ||||西尔维亚|||||| ||||Sylvia|||vient||| ||||a character|||||| ||||Sylvia|||||| ||||Сильвия||||||

interacts or something like that. взаимодействует|||| engages with|||| 相互作用する|||| interagisce|||| взаимодейства или нещо подобно.

So when it's something, uh, more funny, uh, it's a, it's just more engaging |||||||||||||有趣 Така че, когато става дума за нещо по-забавно, то е просто по-ангажиращо.

and I encourage people when they learn on their own to do the same thing, ||поощряю||||||||||||

rather than using something that they don't care about like articles ||usar||||||||

about weather or something like that.

Use the same materials...

I, I just want to pick up on that because I think you make a very important point. |||||revenir||||parce que|||||||| |||||tocar|||||||||||| Искам само да се спра на това, защото смятам, че повдигате много важен въпрос.

So many of these beginner books talk about, you know, Mario comes from the ||||||||||马里奥||| ||||||||||Mario||| ||||||||||Mario video game||| ||||||||||マリオ||| ||||||||||Марио|||

Middle East, at the train station he's with, you know, customs, uh, he goes ||||||||||海关||| ||||||||||aduanas||| |||||||||||||идет Близкия изток, на гарата той е с, знаете, митничарите, ама той отива

to the bank, he goes to the doctor and all of these are totally uninteresting. |||||||||||||совершенно| ||||||||||||||inintéressants

And typically the narrator is bored reading the story. |||叙述者||||| |||рассказчик||||| И обикновено разказвачът се отегчава, четейки историята.

And so that's a very bad place to start. И това е много лошо начало.

And what you're suggesting is things that are not only of interest to your И това, което предлагате, са неща, които са от интерес не само за вашия

learners, but also familiar to them. учащите, но и познати за тях.

I think it's very important to deal with material that is familiar. |||||||||||знакомым

And another problem, sometimes in language texts they go to the very esoteric, |||||语言||||||非常|深奥 ||||||||||||ésotérique ||||||||||||эзотерическое И още един проблем - понякога в езиковите текстове се стига до много езотерични неща, И еще проблема, иногда в языковых текстах доходят до самой эзотерики,

cultural aspects of Korean or Japanese or Russian, whereas really they should ||||||||in contrast||| культурные аспекты корейского, японского или русского, тогда как на самом деле они должны

be beginning with, as you said, you know, Harry Potter or Star Wars or, начать, как вы сказали, с Гарри Поттера или Звездных войн или,

or something that is already familiar. |||||знакомо или что-то уже знакомое.

So we can go from the familiar to the less familiar because already the

language is of course not familiar.

Yes.

I totally agree with what you said.

And you mentioned boring narrators, this is a huge problem because especially ||||叙述者|||||||

those older books that have audio with them, it seems as if, as if some robots |||||||||||||||机器人 |||||||||||||||robots |||||||||||||||ロボット |||||||||||||||robot тези по-стари книги, които имат аудио с тях, изглежда така, сякаш, сякаш някои роботи

were reading those texts, it is awful. ||||||ужасно ||||||orribile |||||é| ||||||horrible

So in my podcasts, in my I'll do lessons, I always try to ||||||||leçons|||| Така че в моите подкасти, в уроците ми "Ще правя уроци" винаги се опитвам да

use as many emotions as I can. ||多||||

So when it's like whispering or yelling or... ||||chuchoter||crier| ||||soft speaking||shouting| ||||sussurrando||gritando| ||||||urlare| ||||ささやく||叫ぶ| ||||susurrando||gritando| Така че, когато е като шепот, вик или...

so I try to be engaging because when it's an audio lesson, it's even more difficult |||||увлекательным|||||||||| ||||||||这是||||||| така че се опитвам да бъда увлекателна, защото когато е аудио урок, е още по-трудно

to, to keep your attention there because you don't see the person speaking. за да задържите вниманието си там, защото не виждате човека, който говори.

So those, um, monotonous and boring readings, it's a very discouraging. ||||||阅读|||| |||tedious|||||||demotivating ||||||||||обескураживающее Така че тези монотонни и скучни четения са много обезсърчителни.

So yes, emotion... ||feeling or sentiment

I checked out your videos by the way, and they are excellent and they're Между другото, проверих видеоклиповете ви и те са отлични и те са

very lively and that's exactly what people need to motivate them. 非常|||||||||| |vivace||||||||| много жив и точно това е нужно на хората, за да ги мотивира.

And we learn better.

There's more resonance. ||共鸣 ||risonanza há||ressonância

We learn better.

Yeah.

So because, uh, otherwise you'll just fall asleep after what? |||иначе|||||| |||if not|||||| И така, защото иначе просто ще заспите след какво?

10, 10 minutes into the, into the Russian.

Uh, so you have materials that are interesting, being more emotional

and, uh, uh, pleasure, first of all. и, ъ, ъ, удоволствие, на първо място.

So as soon as you feel discouraged, as soon as you feel overwhelmed, you feel ||||||||||||подавленным|| ||||||||||||überwältigt|| ||||||||||||圧倒される|| ||||||||||||sobrecarregado|| Така че веднага щом се почувствате обезкуражени, веднага щом се почувствате претоварени, почувствате

that, uh, I'm not having any progress. че нямам никакъв напредък.

I am at this... Аз съм в това...

how to pronounce?

Plateau. плато

In Russian we say...

Yhe plateau, yeah. Yhe|| Yhe|| Yhe(1)|| o|| Yhe|| 耶|| イエ|| |La meseta, sí.|

Yes.

Yes.

And it's an inevitable, it's inevitable. |||неизбежное|| |||inévitable|| |||避けられない||

Uh, and a lot of people are so discouraged that they think that ||||||||feeling hopeless|||| И много хора са толкова обезкуражени, че мислят, че

this is the end and they just quit.

And in reality, it's just a milestone. ||||||веха ||||||étape ||||||marco ||||||hito importante ||||||マイルストーン E, na realidade, é apenas um marco.

You need to overcome this point and you will maybe skyrocket on the next stage. |||преодолеть|этот||||||взлететь|||| ||||||||||décoller|||| ||||||||||excel dramatically|||| ||||||||||disparar|||| ||||||||||decollare|||| ||||||||||飞速提升|||| ||||||||||急上昇する|||| Трябва да преодолеете тази точка и може би ще се изстреляте на следващия етап.

So it's very important to keep your motivation.

While on the subject of the plateau, uh, how do you deal with the experience Enquanto|||||||||||||| Mientras|||tema||||||||||| Докато говорим за платото, как се справяте с опита

that I had with Russian, and that is that no matter how many times you look че съм имал с руски, и това е, че без значение колко пъти гледате

at the declension table, no matter how many times you look at the endings in ||变格表|||||||||||| ||déclinaison|||||||||||| ||declinazione|||||||||||| ||||||||回||||||

the three different genders, for all the different cases, you can't remember them. |||性别||||||||| |||genres||||||||| |||genders||||||||| |||性||||||||| |||родов||||||||| трите различни пола, за всички различни случаи, не можете да ги запомните.

You, you, maybe you can identify if you're reading from the context, you

can identify the meaning of that word.

But when you're speaking to try to get the uh, case ending, no matter how much |||話している||||||||||||

you study, it just seems so elusive. ||||||неуловимым ||||||insaisissable ||||||difficult to grasp ||||||elusiva ||||||schwierig fassbar ||||||难以捉摸 ||||||つかみどころのない ||||||escurridizo

How do you help your Russian learners improve in their use of cases? ||||||||在|||| Как помагате на изучаващите руски език да се усъвършенстват в използването на казуси?

Oh, first of all, I try to be very nice and especially in the first stages,

because I learned this mostly from my American students before I used to be защото научих това най-вече от моите американски ученици, преди да бъда

this harsh Russian person who corrects all mistakes, "you should be perfect!" |строгий|||||||||быть| |||||||erreurs||deves|| |strict|||||||||| |rígida|||||||||| 这个|严厉的|||||||||| |severo|||||||||| este russo severo que corrige todos os erros, "tu devias ser perfeito!"

It was a long time ago, but that's how it started, unfortunately. |||||||||||к сожалению

And then several people told me that I made them cry after I was ||||||||||pleurer|après||

in my nice, I was in my nice stage. ||||estava||||

I thought I was encouraging, but some people told me that they ||||поддерживал||||||| |||||||algunas personas||||

were so frustrated even with minor corrections at the beginning that ||раздосадованы|||незначительными|||||

they were crying and it turned my whole understanding of it upside down. |||||||||||down| ||泣いていた|||||||||| ||||isso|||||||| те плачеха и това преобърна цялото ми разбиране за него. 彼らは泣いていて、それは私の全体的な理解をひっくり返しました。

So after that, I am the nicest teacher ever at the beginning. ||||||meilleur||||| ||||||優しい||||| ||||||o melhor|||||

Of course, uh, I never correct.

Never correct people.

I'm happy when they say anything to me later when I hear them being ||||||||mais tarde||||| Радвам се, когато ми кажат нещо по-късно, когато ги чуя да са

confident already, but when they make mistakes, I will correct them. уверены||||||||||

And then we will concentrate on grammatical aspects of that.

But at the beginning, it's important just to try because no harm done |||||||||||вреда| |||||||||||mal| |||||||||||no damage| |||||||||porque|nenhum|mal| |||||||||||Schaden| |||||||||||danno| Но в началото е важно просто да опитате, защото няма вреда.

if you mix those endings of cases. 如果|||||| se|||||| ако смесите тези окончания на случаите.

It's very confusing.

Even for Russian people.

It's very confusing.

And we learn cases at Russian schools being native speakers И ние учим случаи в руските училища като носители на езика

still for several years. в продължение на няколко години.

We'll learn those endings, those questions for the cases. |||terminaisons|||||

It's, it's a difficult thing.

We can't underestimate it. ||недооценивать| ||sous-estimer| ||undervalue| Не можем да го подценяваме.

So yeah, just slowly try...

I think that's a very important point that you just made.

There is a stage in our learning where we want to be corrected, but at the

early stages, we need encouragement. ||||поддержка

We need encouragement to keep speaking and many mistakes do correct themselves. |||||||muitos|||| 私たちは話し続けるための励ましが必要であり、多くの間違いは自分自身を正します。

Conversely many of the corrections that the teacher наоборот||||||| On the other hand||||||| 逆に、教師が行った修正の多く

makes have no effect whatsoever. ||||任何影响 ||||at all ||||совершенно 何の効果もありません。

Uh, I know that, uh, in different languages, if I look at my sort of

lesson notes I get from my teacher, I make the same mistakes every week. leçon|||||||||||||

So it's, it's a gradual process, combination of reading the rules ||||постепенный||||||

and the teacher correcting you and self-correcting, but it certainly,

there's no quick solution to these things. ||rapide||||

And you just have to hope that eventually the brain gets used to them. |||||||в конце концов||||||

But, uh, cases are a problem in Russian. ||os casos|||||

And how about the other difficulty in Russian, which is this whole А какво ще кажете за другата трудност в руския език, която е цялата тази

aspect of verbs, verbs of emotions. |||動詞||感情

Do you have any sort of secret in helping people with this? これで人々を助けることに何か秘密がありますか？ Есть ли у вас какой-то секрет в помощи людям в этом?

For verbs, especially verbs of motion, verbs with prefixes I ||||||||приставками| ||||||||préfixes| ||||||||with prefixes| ||||||||prefissi| ||||||||前缀| ||||||||接頭辞| ||||||||prefijos verbales| 動詞、特に動詞の場合、接頭辞Iが付いた動詞 Для глаголов, особенно глаголов движения, глаголов с префиксами I

have a special course for that. есть специальный курс для этого.

I try again to put them into some funny context.

I create stories again, using Harry Potter or using some famous actors, uh, using,

uh, some popular, popular characters. някои популярни, популярни герои.

And I try to put those verbs into a funny context, funny mini story, and

then I will ask simple questions for every sentence, like ... and, uh,

for 20 minutes straight, just repeating the same stuff again and again. ||de suite|||||||| ||seguido|||||||| 20 минути без прекъсване, като повтаряше едно и също нещо отново и отново.

And, um, since mostly those prefaces keep their meaning for most of the verbs after |||||предисловия||||||||| |||surtout||préfaces||||||||| |||||as introduções||||||||| |||||prefazioni||||||||| |||||前言||||||||| |||||前置き||||||||| И тъй като тези предлози запазват значението си за повечето глаголи след

10 mini stories like that, this is, this just gets somewhere deep in your memory. 10 такива мини истории, това е, това просто се запечатва някъде дълбоко в паметта ви.

And next time, just click and you use it naturally because you heard И следващия път просто кликнете и го използвайте естествено, защото сте чули

it and repeated it so many times. и го повтори толкова много пъти.

You just have the feeling of when you want to go out, you say ... so Просто имате усещането, че когато искате да излезете, казвате ... така че

it's just the point of practice and hearing the same thing again and

again, in the same situations, but with different different characters.

And, and there's no predicting when all of a sudden we start being able ||||предсказать||||||||| ||||prédire||||||||| ||||foreseeing||all of a||||||| ||há||prever||||||||| ||||prevedere||||||||| ||||予測する||||||||| И не може да се предвиди кога изведнъж ще започнем да можем да E, e não há como prever quando, de repente, começamos a ser capazes de

to use some of these things correctly.

So sometimes it's a bit, it's the same as trying to remember words, certain

vocabulary items just never stick. ||||retain in memory ||||ficam елементите на речника просто никога не се придържат.

And we shouldn't allow ourselves to be frustrated and the same way |||permettere|||||||| ||não deveríamos|||||||||

with grammar, we shouldn't allow ourselves to be frustrated at some |||ne devrions|||||||

point it will probably click in. ||||click| ||||cairá|

And, uh, I think your, your approach of patience, repetition, but not

being too demanding of people. ||требовательным|| |demasiado|||

It makes a lot of sense.

Um, one final note.

So I think, uh, if we... |||||nous

today in the world, if we look at the most popular languages,

you know, languages that are...

that people are learning, obviously English is probably number one

because of its practical usefulness. ||||полезность ||||utilité ||||practical value ||||utilidade поради практическата му полезност.

And then historically certain European languages like Spanish are popular.

And, uh, recently Korean and Japanese have become popular for reasons

related to pop culture and so forth. ||cultura||||

I mean, I happen to be a fan of the 19th century. Искам да кажа, че съм почитател на XIX век.

So Russia, for me, it was very attractive.

Uh, and of course, Russia is an enormous country with, uh, not only, you're not |||||||огромная|||||||

only sort of the original Slavic Russian people, but it's the whole influence

of central Asia and the Caucuses. |||||mountain region |||||Cáucaso в Централна Азия и Кавказ.

I mean, it's just a spectacular world, this whole Russian world thing. |||||замечательный|||||| ||||||||tout||| Искам да кажа, че целият този руски свят е просто впечатляващ.

That's me.

What is most attractive to your students? |||привлекательно||| Какво е най-привлекателно за вашите ученици?

What brings them to Russian? Какво ги води към руския език?

Oh today it's a very complicated question because unfortunately what Oh|||||||||

I notice in the past decade, uh, the interest to the Russian language |||||décennie||||||| |||||10年|||||||

is, is decreasing unfortunately. ||уменьшается| ||diminue| ||going down| ||decresce|

And, uh, more and more often each new semester, the university, I ||||||||academic term||| ||||||||学期|||

see that it's some people that are interested in uh, military stuff. видеть||||||||||военные| |||||||||||choses ||||||||||military affairs| виждам, че това са хора, които се интересуват от военни неща.

So there people in uniforms sitting in class, I'm like, oh, okay. ||||制服||||||| ||||uniformes||||||| ||||in uniform||||||| ||||制服||||||| então|||em|fardas|||||||

It's not a good reason to learn Russian, but, uh, but unfortunate... |||||||||||неудачно |||||||||||infeliz

so this is one reason, I guess a lot of, uh, military people are

suddenly very interested in Russia. soudain||||

Um, but peaceful people usually are interested in, um, literature. ||calm||||||| ||||geralmente|||||
