User: Caption: Hi, everyone! Welcome to the new podcast of Russian Progress.
My name is Artyom, and this is a project - a channel and a podcast - for learning and practising Russian by ear.
Through content in Russian, watching videos in Russian, listening to podcasts in Russian and immersing yourself in the language.
Today I would like to tell you about my experience of learning Serbian.
I just started, I've been studying it for two weeks now.
And I already have my first conclusions, first impressions, and first results.
Speaking of results, I already recorded a video in Serbian on my second channel - Артём Назаров.
Hi all, my name is Artyom. I am from Russia, the city of Novosibirsk, which is in the center of Russia.
So go ahead, watch, like,
comment and motivate me to further improve my Serbian.
Another important announcement is that I'm learning Serbian on the Ижица channel.
I'm still learning it there, so who hasn't subscribed yet - it's happening in Russian there...
From here. They say he's not from here.  "Прича се...  It is said? - Yes, it is said in the sense of they say.
That is, we don't know who's saying. They just say. "Si dice, si dice che," as in Italian.
You can compare Russian and Serbian.
And to support Nikola, my teacher and friend from Serbia.
So the link to the channel will also be in the description.
And one last announcement, also important, which I want to make
is that I plan to make the video podcast episodes private.
They will continue in the same format as you see now, that is, with Russian subtitles,
sometimes with English subtitles, but now they will be on Patreon and on Boosty.
They used to be private, video podcasts, then I decided a year or two years ago to open them up,
but now I have made the decision to close them again.
Why? Because... it's a lot of work to do subtitles.
At the same time, I don't want there to be no video podcast, only an audio version.
So I decided to keep it as it is, while I need to somehow monetize what I'm doing.
Well, another reason is that I'm not very happy with the views,
so I'm not very motivated to keep posting video podcasts on YouTube.
So yeah, that's why they will now be a bonus.
I will publish some video podcasts on YouTube.
Maybe some interviews.
Well, because the guest might want to watch, not just listen to the interview.
But all in all, at least for the nearest future, until I change my mind somehow,
video podcasts will be on Boosty and on Patreon.
So the link will be in the description.
Thank you to all those who support the project.  Thanks to you, this project exists.
And now I would like to tell you about
how I started to learn Serbian, why I started to learn Serbian.
And the most loyal viewers, the most loyal listeners of my
podcast already know that I was already learning Serbian about a year ago.
But I have a strange relationship with this language.
I mean, on the one hand, I see a lot of reasons to study Serbian,
because I really like Serbia and the Serbs as a people.
I really like Balkan culture, it's very soulful and nice.
In general, I love southern countries.
Plus, in addition to Serbia, in Serbian, or in Croatian, Bosnian,
Montenegrin speak in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.
I like to travel.
I haven't been to Croatia or Bosnia, so I'm going to go there, and the language would serve me well.
You can live in Serbia for a while.
Serbia has a fairly good attitude toward Russia.
I like it a lot too, one of the few countries, in Europe.
And plus you can visit other
Balkan countries where Serbian / Serbian-Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin is spoken.
I have many acquaintances from Serbia, even friends, and this is also one of the reasons.
Plus Serbian is written in Cyrillic.
&amp;#@% Though partially, but in Cyrillic, and that's cool.
It makes it very easy to learn a language, and it's very interesting.
And... that's pretty much it.
I don't know, maybe I'll find some interesting content in Serbian.
Although it's quite difficult so far, there is not much content.
And all in all... dunno.
In short, going to Serbia will be more fun with the language.
That's why I decided to learn Serbian.
Now why was I putting it away, back then?
Because there was not enough material to learn this language.
Podcasts with transcriptions, like the one
I'm doing now - I found one, but I've already listened to all the episodes, translated all the episodes.
And that's all, I found nothing else.
That's why I started and stopped, started and stopped.
But it's been a year, and now I've started learning it again.
Why? Because I got my ass kicked, so to speak. A magic kick in the ass.
That is, I was motivated, pushed by Nikola's suggestion,
who invited me to his channel to teach me Serbian live there.
I couldn't refuse, because I have long wanted to learn this language.
Plus I was curious to see how he taught.
And, of course, I wanted to support his project somehow.
And for this, I invite everyone to subscribe to Nikola's channel.
He has just started this project.
And support him with likes, comments and subscriptions.
And for those who are interested in learning Serbian, of course, it will also be very useful for you.
Basically, all the stars aligned: I want to learn Serbian, Nikola offered me
free lessons in essence, and we started studying.
It's been two weeks since the first lesson.
We study twice a week, where we read texts.
I read them, try to translate them, try to guess.
I don't always get it right, but...
Ran out of space on my phone.
In general, yes, in classes with Nikola we read texts and I translate.
I translate with the help of, I don’t know, some of my knowledge, of course,
of Russian, but also Polish and Ukrainian.
This also helps sometimes.
And of course context helps too.
Why do I always recommend learning words in context?
Because completely unfamiliar words - you can
guess the meaning of these words simply by context.
Also in classes we pay close attention to some grammatical points.
We pay attention to the etymology of words, which is basically a new experience for me,
because I usually learn the language by quantity.
I mean, I... I dive into the language, so to speak.
I listen to language for hours, watch videos.
And some of the details are for later.
The main thing is to let the main layer of the language pass through yourself
and learn to understand, and then to speak.
And in order to speed up the learning process, of course, I listen to podcasts.
This is what I always recommend.
What I myself do for those who study Russian.
Because, well, it speeds up the language learning process infinitely.
Due to the fact that podcasts in Serbian (for learning Serbian),
like this podcast of mine, for example, I have to listen to podcasts for native speakers from the beginning.
And a very important thing here is to find podcasts, first of all, that are not long.
That is, so that they would be 10-15 minutes.
And secondly, on some clear topic. For example, self-development.
I found a few of these podcasts.
And once I found the podcast that was easiest for me to understand,
where there is good sound, clearly spoken, simple language,
I listened to, I don't know, maybe 30 episodes, or maybe 50 episodes of this podcast.
And that's good advice: if it' still hard for you to listen to content for
native speakers, find some native speaker (who makes content for native speakers),
you can easily understand and listen to all their episodes.
Only when you learn to understand him, move on to the other dude,
who speaks clearly, then to the third or fifth,
and that way you'll come to understand all native speakers, more or less.
That's what I've been doing, these last two weeks,
That's what I've been doing, these last two weeks,
and I've been doing that, i. e. listening to podcasts when I'm doing some chores around the house.
That is, let's say I'm in the garden cleaning up, doing something in the garage and at the same time listening to a podcast.
Why is this good? Because I'm busy doin&amp;(&amp;^*&amp;%
Why is this good? Because I'm busy, I'm immersed in the process,
in the background something is playing, I concentrate, of course, I absorb it...
Well, sometimes I get distracted, but in general it's a matter of habit.
But in any case I can work, do my stuff for hours, and at the same time I listen to the language.
That is, if I watched the video in Serbian, I probably wouldn't watch more than 10 minutes.
But this way I listen to Serbian for two hours straight.
So this is very useful, it helps a lot.
And if I also had a transcription, and I would not only listen every day,
but also translate an episode, as I did this year with Swedish,
it would further speed up the learning process many times over.
Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.
I can read texts, and translate them, but there won't be audio, it's not clear how to pronounce.
So I'm not risking [reading texts] yet, and plus I'm lazy.
But in general, you can do it.
That is, listen every day and translate every day.
It's only been two weeks, and I've already been able to record a video in Serbian.
Of course, I make mistakes there and only talk for a few minutes.
But these are the first results that make me happy.
I will continue to work on this language.
And I will do my updates on my second channel.
And also on my language blog on Boosty.
Who doesn't know - I write about how to learn languages, giving some advice on my other Boosty.
I did it for native Russian speakers,
but if you are interested, there are texts in Russian, you can also subscribe.
So that's probably it.
I will make another update on my Serbian in a month or two.
I'll tell you how my progress is.
And I'll record a video in Serbian on my second channel.
Thank you for listening and watching.
I remind you that the next episodes of the video podcast, also with subtitles, will be on Patreon and Boosty.
By the way, I thank all those who are already there, who support the project.
And special thanks to those who support the project on Boosty.
Because at least I have access to this money.
Because Patreon has been blocked in Russia recently.
Plus no PayPal.
I have not yet resolved this issue.
And I decided to open Boosty, an alternative platform
where I will have access to my income right now.
So... yeah, thanks for the support.
Here, on this channel, I will stream.
I will publish some video podcasts, and some videos, do something.
We'll see.
Anyway, we'll hear and see each other.
Bye!
