It was a long time ago, but thanks to the guys from the 1420 channel,

we can hear the voices of people from the streets of Moscow.

So, I introduce you to you, and welcome to the show!

Hello, my name is Artem, I am a member of the 1420 team.

We are shooting the street questions in Russia.

And today we are going to know how to learn Russian people.

It is probably the most important thing to do with the people who are here to work, to work, to work, to work on Russian girls, to work on any other relationships.

It's just because 8th population is speaking Russian.

Well, yeah.

In the first place, I believe, there is a Chinese language, in the second, Arabic language, in the seventh or eighth, I believe.

But, it's, for sure, it's for the overall development.

Russian language is quite difficult, and it can, at least, have good relationships with the mind, and help to learn more about it.

I don't like Russian.

Why?

I like English and Italian, rather Russian.

I think that foreigners will come here, they will know.

It will be difficult on their own or on their own language.

Russian will help.

I think that this will be the same.

But I would learn the language of the country, in

which I am because it's a big cultural code that it also brings me to comfort, and it would be comfortable to speak with the language, on which everyone is talking.

But Russian language is really difficult, and I'm just like a mucous, and I'm usually not going to travel to another country, because I don't want to know the language,

on which everyone is talking, on which everyone is talking.

This is a stamp, but it's not so banal, as it will show you.

The thing we call the Greek culture, it's really the thing that is in Russian.

And if we talk about the possibility of contact, the real contact with the Greek culture, then we talk about the research, about understanding and about the knowledge of Russian.

Because many Russian произведения are not переводibles.

And if you want to, for example, to have a part of it, you must understand the structure, the structure, the structure of the language,

the внутреннего устройства of the Russian language.

At that time, we need to learn the Russian language.

I don't speak about the fact that there are countries in the world, for which Russian language is, in the same way, now, is the language of the Russian language.

What could you be in the sense of the event, as it is in Russia?

Well, it depends on the person.

I'm trying to get English to slow down, There are some things that are looking for,

and people like to learn a lot of foreign languages, and people like to learn a lot of foreign languages.

And people like me, I want to talk with people, or go to some courses in Europe.

Now we are back to the street of Moscow.

And Russian language is worth studying? Of course, it is.

But it is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much, to read Dостоevsky, to read Kушкиna in the original.

At this moment I don't think that it is a real thing,

because even all the Russians are on foreign sites and studying abroad, research and languages.

I don't think that it is necessary, If only is the fact that we need to go to Russia, just to know the Russian language, why not?

If it's a person like this?

I don't think that.

Because there is Google-experience.

I would have taught the basic, like...

Well, in the beginning.

Well, yes, some standard.

But you can find any way.

It's Google-experience.

Usually, everyone agrees.

So for the future, there are the разговорs, for the future, there is the culture, and the tradition of her culture.

The answer is very simple, because we have, first of all, a very technical potential, which is on the Russian language, no one ever translated it.

And for the reason to get to know we must know Russian language.

For example, Fischer is a famous champion of the world,

he specializes Russian language, to be familiar with Russian literature.

I'm from Kyrgyzstan, from Soviet Union.

And for us, Russian language is a state of the language.

We also talk about it as well as on our native language.

Since we often visit Moscow, the Federation, for us it's plus that we know Polish language.

So, any language is good for integration, I think.

Brazilian language is very powerful,

and very charming, and very very powerful to connect with Russian people.

You know, Russian language is a public language in all the world, but it is necessary, like English,

like other languages, because Russian language is a lot, and half the planet is used.

In general, Russian people are still in the country, and many immigrants.

I don't know if I would like to talk to them with immigrants in America, but why not?

They can do business in general.

If you come to Russia, then talk to someone else, to know something.

It's probably a sense to learn any language.

To be easier to communicate with Russia, Well, it's right.

When we go to the other countries, we learn English or the country language, so it's true.

You know, in the last time I noticed that a lot of foreigners are learning Russian.

And as if it is strange, very many foreigners want to marry Russian women.

To meet Russian girls.

Why do they need Russian?

If they work here, then they need Russian, to be able to live in the middle of the world.

If they plan to live in Russia or do business in Russia, so?

They want to go to Russia, but no one can.

What do you think, that no one wants to go from Europe, from America to Russia?

Well, in terms of tourism, yes, but in this situation, I think, no. Maybe we can go to live in Russia?

No, no. It's just a deal of relationship.

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.
