dictation attempt Hello, I have encountered this video on youtube, in which the polyglot speaks several languages, as well as Russian, I attempted to write down what he is saying but I am having trouble hearing some sentences and neither google translate nor the speak-translate app are able to help me. I was wondering if someone could correct my mistakes in my dictation attempt as well as writing down the missing sentences… Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNScWReYGoo And this is the time frame in which he speaks Russian: 1:30 -2:14 Я изучаю учить язык используя текинка перевода. Это позволяет мне вникнуть что как функционирует язык. Есть разные стадии изучать языка и каждый стадия требует конечно свою подхода. большой сознания который изменила мои подход изучать языков

more easy russian Now this one was tough and a little annoying because the guy kept saying kak-to all the time… Иногда, бывает, идёшь и видишь улыбающегося человека и как-то самому хочется улыбаться или, наоборот, как-то угрюмого и как-то тоже настроение падает. Ну, как-то смотришь на людей, ну, понимаешь, что у тебя также настроение как-то этого зависит First of all, he uses идёшь, видишь which in this case would correspond to something like 'you know you sometimes see someone smiling…' right? 1. Самому is in this case dative right? Because of хочется? 2. Угрюмого in this case works with the verbs идёшь и видишь seen earlier? And because the человек is animated we have an accusative masculine treated like a genitive masculine? 3. Why падает? Did he suddenly shift the narrative to he/her? Rather than you (идёшь, видишь) 4. на людей? на is prepositional right? Or is it dative, as in to whom one looks at (кому)? My table says prepositional plurals end with х, Both adjectives and nouns

easy russian continued In this episode, people in Saint Petersburg were asked the question 'what inspires them' One girl answers that her boyfriend inspires her, and then goes on to say: Ради него хочется делать много всего хорошего 1. Ради него I assume is genitive, because of the word Ради? 2. In много всего хорошего, 3. I assume is genitive singular masculine? 4. What does всего exactly mean here? All? 5. And why is хорошего treated like an adjectival noun? 6. And what determines the gender of хорошего? Another girl says this, after mentioning that people inspire her: Своими поступками могут вдохновить на какую-то работу 1. Своими поступками is instrumental I assume, because those actions are instrumental in creating the work? 2. Why is какую-то conjugated as such? как-то means somehow right? 3. What case does на take in this case? One man says: В рамках чего? Could you explain the logic in both рамках and чего as to their role in the structuring of grammar? А вот что вдохновляет жителей Санкт-Петербурга узнаем прямо сейчас Why is жителей conjugated as such, isnt it accusative plural? I guess because it is animated it is treated like a genitive plural? Да, чего-то последнее время ничего In this cause why is чего-то not что –то? Why чего? What does it mean here? Я уже музыкой занимаюсь восемь лет Занимаюсь needs to be instrumental and hence музыкой? Instrumental feminine? Gosh many thanks for your time : ))))

Вопрос I am continuing to learn Russian from the easy Russian course on youtube, I encountered a conversation in which a man mentioned he likes a certain artist, and then the interviewer went about asking why he likes that particular artist: Чем он вам нравится? Could someone please tell me what the literal translation of this would be in english? I know direct translations of these might not exist in English however Literal translations help me because they enable me to dwell into the grammatical construction of a language. In this case I thought it includes the instrumental case; by what (about him) appeals to you? Something like that? The man answers this question: от него настроение хорошее у всех, I assume a literal translation would be from him comes about good mood on everyone?
