1
I've been learning Russian on Duolingo for the past 660 days.
2
In my last video where I traveled to Russia and actually tried talking to people, I got a lot of comments saying Duolingo sucks, Duolingo is bad, you wasted your time.
3
So in this video, I'm going back to talk to random strangers and have awkward and weird conversations
4
negative comments valid guys i'm back i'm back to embarrassing myself publicly
5
if you look closely behind me you'll find the map of
6
the network system in moscow russia it's not a big deal
7
it's only the most complicated metro system in the world
8
and i'm gonna navigate it because i'm here to test this review that says
9
that duolingo isn't good for understanding directions i tried to learn
10
some mandarin on duolingo before traveling to beijing i wanted to ask for directions to the
11
eat the station the guy looked at me
12
and said I don't think that's possible
13
but good luck as usual I can't speak any English I can't use Google Translate
14
and I can't show anybody photos not these types of photos I'm talking photos of things
15
that I'm trying to explain I'm gonna stand there until I find someone to ask let's see how it goes
16
It's here.
17
You should go downstairs.
18
Yeah, it will be turgenvsk.
19
You can shoot it.
20
My English!
21
Change here to here.
22
And then go to the "Ochotny Riyad".
23
And then you will see.
24
speaking English, I was still able to tell how to go there by her hands movements
25
and her basically pointing at the stations that I have to go to.
26
So let's do that.
27
After a couple of metro rides, I found myself extremely confused again and I didn't want to get lost.
28
So I'm going to ask for directions again.
29
And after that, I was on the right track.
30
Guys, I actually made it.
31
I'm in the red square.
32
With the help of three random strangers using only Russian language and Duolingo.
33
And this is not sponsored by Duolingo by the way.
34
I don't know how the video got 2 .5 million views and I didn't get contacted by them.
35
But by all means, you can learn any language with any app.
36
It's not necessarily about the app.
37
Last time I was here, I asked people to take a photo of me using only Russian.
38
This time I'm gonna do something a little bit more cringe.
39
In these touristic places, usually there are a lot of people who are trying to take photos, but there's nobody to take a picture for them.
40
That's where I come in.
41
for my help because I want to review this review
42
that says I actually thought the walinga was good until I
43
tried using it in real life I approached a couple of girls
44
and attempted to ask if they could take my picture instead of
45
which means can you take a picture of me I said
46
which means can you take me
47
that was the first time in my life where I felt
48
like an absolute creep lol will I be able to convince people to let me help them
49
or are they gonna think that I'm gonna steal their
50
and you guys are gonna have second -hand embarrassment from watching my interaction.
51
Let's find out.
52
But first I want to try to get some water.
53
Okay now I know that 100 means 100 Watashi was to.
54
Okay, sorry.
55
Too much time spent on TikTok.
56
But I have the water and it's teplo.
57
Warm.
58
Sorry, I can help you?
59
Thank you.
60

113
I understand.
114
If you go to the street, where the fire is on, you go to the street,
115
and then there will be this "Vareneche" - Yes, the name.
116

125

126

140
You understand, it's only in your hands.
141
Not in your language, but in your hands.
142
Yes, yes.
143
It's the gestures.
144
Yes, yes.
145
It's the duolingo.

Bye.

Bye.
154
Guys, I just had the realization that my Russian is super bad now, simply because I haven't been practicing as much.
155
I've only been spending like a minute or two a day maximum.
156
This just goes to show that no matter how much you train on Duolingo, you have to actually converse with people and watch TV shows and listen to music if you want to keep the language.
157
That's how I learned English.
158
I'm extremely disappointed in myself right now.
159
Nonetheless guys, I'm not gonna dwell on my mistakes.
160
The girl said the cafe's name is Nerencznaya.
161
So my next goal is to find this cafe.
162
Let's find out if I can do that or just keep embarrassing myself.
163
Guys when that girl was talking about the street with lanterns, she was actually referring to this street.
164
But I didn't understand her back then.
165
So I actually decided to ask some strangers about Verencznaya Cafe and they eventually led me to a different branch of Verencznaya, which is in Arbat Street.
166
Thank you.
167
Thank you very much.
168
Very beautiful Why did that feel like I'm an NPC trying to compliment someone?
169
Wow, that's very impressive.
170
Guys, I don't know if you can hear me or not because there's a guy absolutely shredding the violin behind me.
171
But that's gonna be the perfect opportunity for me to test
172
out this review of some guy not being able to interact with street performers because Duolingo couldn't help him.
173
This is the review.
174
Complimenting a violinist's mosquito in Paris wasn't the cultural exchange I had hoped for.
175
Muzik, music, and moustik, mosquito.
176
While the app helped me with basics, it missed crucial pronunciation nuances for me.
177
Yet again, French pronunciation is tricky for us Americans, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
178
How many years did you learn?
179
I'm playing in 26th, I'm playing in the script.
180
I'm playing music.
181
I play the music and I'm playing with the melody.
182
So, people can get the mood.
183
How did you get?
184
I'm good.
185
And you're here for the whole day?
186
No, not the whole day.
187
There's a concert for about 2 hours.
188
You play in Moscow?
189
Bro knows exactly what he's doing.
190
Bro is a money printing machine.
191
Guys I have made it to Arbat Street finally.
192
Now it's just a matter of asking people where this cafe is.
193
- What?
194
- Oh, different.
195
- Right, right and left.
196
- Oh.
197
Guys, I don't know who said you can't ask for directions using only Duolingo, but they were definitely wrong.
198
I mean, she did use Google Maps or Yandex Maps, which is the Russian version of Google Maps, but I didn't use it.
199
Guys, believe it or not, we've made it to Varynchnaya Cafe.
200
That word is really hard to spell.
201
Not as hard as Park Gok Gok.
202
Last time we did this, we met Tim Mufi and he was a really nice person.
203
Let's see if we can replicate that today.
204
Hello, I can?
205
Yes, I can.
206
Thank you.
207
What are you doing?
208
Small.
209
Small.
210
- Four, four.
211
- With my food.
212
This is a little -Borch?
213
-Borch?
214
-No, it's standard.
215
200g of this is good.
216
-And the water?
217
-And the water.

319
It's about 10 -15 minutes.
320
- Ah, a gulat?
321
- Yes, you can go.
322
- Okay, the navigator will go right there.
323
- Thank you.
324
- With a hiris, with a grib and a banana.
325
- - I was able to get a recommendation for what to order and it's this!
326
"Pareniki s kurici i gruvami" I'm sorry if I butchered that name.
327
All the people in the comments now.
328
Rami, stop disrespecting our culture.
329
My Russian is incredibly worse than before now.
330
That's what you get for not practicing.
331
But I think it was good enough for me to disprove this.
332
I don't know, you be the judge.
333
Thank you, Red Square girl.
334
After the meal, I wanted to go to a street called Patryki Street, which I've been seeing on YouTube a lot.
335
But just as I was on my way, I saw these two girls.
336
And I decided to try and talk to them.
337
Just to see how bad my Russian has gotten.
338
Excuse me, how are you?
339
I'm from Dubai, I've studied Russian for 2 years.
340
I've come to...
341
I've come to...
342
What do you think about Arabic? Do you like it?
343
I like it.
344
I'm just in exchange, because everyone has different opinions.
345
You say it very fast, I don't understand.
346
And from Dubai, they definitely come here.
347
There are people here.
348
They often live in Dubai.
349
And many Russian people go to Dubai, right?
350
Yes.
351
Do you go to Dubai?
352
No. Do you love Dubai?
353
No. Ah, I understand.
354
Do you teach?
355
Yes.
356
I work, teach.
357
What do you teach?
358
I teach a lawyer.
359
as a right worker, criminal criminal crimes, and a lot of legal crimes.
360
Did you understand anything?
361
No, no. Sorry, my Russian is not very good.
362
Thank you.
363
Do you speak English?
364
No, she is.
365
You speak something a little bit.
366
Oh, good.
367
You taught English?
368
No, we won't do that.
369
How are you?
370
My name is Rami. And you?
371
I'm Dasha.
372
Dasha is Darya?
373
Yes.
374
I understand.
375
Good name?
376
How do I say?
377
Good name?
378
Yes.
379
You are good Russian.
380
Good.
381
Good?
382
Thank you very much.
383
Bye.
384
Guys, my Russian is so bad.
385
Oh my god.
386
I don't know if my Russian is worse now
387
or it's just the fact that everybody in Russia decided to start speaking more fast.
388
Yeah, I think it's the first one.
389
Guys, I've made it to Patricy Street, which is a street that a lot of foreigners take videos of and then post on YouTube to get millions of views.
390
Simply because it's full of beautiful people.
391
And when I say beautiful people, I mean hot girls.
392
And hot girls get a lot of views on YouTube.
393
And I mean a lot.
394
So I'm here to contribute to the problem.
395
Tell me you don't appreciate the honesty.
396
Anyways, I've never been more socially anxious than I am right now.
397
And this will be the hardest challenge so far.
398
I'm gonna basically stay here until somebody comes up and talks to me.
399
Let's see if I can actually pull it off with my minimal Duolingo skills.
400
Just a - - Спасибо.
401
Hello, please.
402
I can ask you a question I've been learning Russian for two years - Tak.
403
- I have to show I just speak Russian in this video, ok?
404
Ok, ok, let's go.
405
How are you?
406
-Abdullah.
407
Abdullah, ah, nice.
408
My name is Rami.
409
You have Arabic names more than me.
410
Yes.
411
What do you do here?
412
I just spend the evening here, I walk, I communicate with people, I get new friends, so I can say.
413
There are a lot of beautiful people here, yes?
414
It seems too much of a pothos.
415
What does it mean?
416
Um.. vulgar me a meep me ploha I understand.
417
It seems that people look at you from the top.
418
In fact, it's not so.
419
People are very open, friendly, and you just need to overcome it at the moment.
420
I understand a lot.
421
I've been talking to many people today.
422
Just because here people don't want to talk to me about this place.
423
Moscow is a big city.
424
Because there are so many people here, it's a matter of everyone.
425
I understand.
426
Do people in the village have more restaurants?
427
-Ah, yes, yes.
428
-Or not?
429
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
430
If you come to the village, the door is on the door.
431
How about the Arabs?
432
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
433
- Here, especially in this place, where people have content.
434
- Instagram.
435
- Yeah, Sportcar.
436
- I see a lot of videos on this street.
437
I think that's because there's a lot of...
438
- They are beautiful, but -Bulgur?
439
-Yes, so here is...
440
-Jopa!
441
Yes.
442
You can see a lot of beautiful. But...
443
No. And my soul.
444
Yeah, yeah, there's no soul.
445
Like, here you won't find a wife.
446
Where can I go to the wife?
447
Or to find her?
448
- To find her.
449
- To find her?
450
I understand.
451
In general, it can be here, but it will be difficult.
452
- It will be difficult.
453
- Yes, it will be difficult.
454
There are good people everywhere, there are bad people.
455
I love this idea of individuality.
456
- How do I say?
457
- Thinking.
458
You are very young.
459
What do you think about my Russian?
460
I think that if you study it on Duolingo...
461
10 minutes a day.
462
10 minutes a day.
463
I think that's a very good result for two years.
464
Thank you.
465
We're talking now and I understand what you're saying.
466
It's a very good result.
467
Thank you very much.
468
Where are you?
469
- I'm from Dugas.
470
- This is Khabib Nurmagomedov.
471
- Yes, yes, yes.
472
- This is a person.
473
- Yes, yes.
474
- What do you think of NIO?
475
I think this person is an exception from the exception.
476
If he wasn't his father, I think that he wouldn't have been such a exception.
477
strong.
478
- Yeah.
479
Understand?
480
- No, but I understand what you said.
481
My father is a very important role.
482
My father is a doctor.
483
And he wants me to be a friend, but I'm only YouTuber. But I'm an architect.
484
What do you think?
485
I studied one course economist.
486
I can't.
487
I got a number of people.
488
YouTuber.
489
Really?
490
Yes.
491
Maybe on Instagram I will help you.
492
- Yeah.
493
Because only a person will help you in this place.
494
It must be Nugly.
495
- Nugly?
496
- Nugly.
497
I'll show you a example.
498
Not did this.
499
- Can you say a few words?
500
- Mm.
501
Hey!
502
- Oh, duh, duh, duh.
503
- Yeah, yeah.
504
- Tell me a few words.
505
- Charisma.
506
- Yeah, positive.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
