Guys, for those of you who don’t watch my Instagram stories — I’m reposting this here🥹

In this video, I’m speaking fully in Russian (Well, almost👀)

And I’m curious — how hard is it for you to understand without subtitles?

Do you rely on them all the time, or can you already follow without them?

And there’s another point we talked about.

After a call I had with one of you, I realized something about myself:
I almost always need a mentor.

I go to the gym — I have a trainer.
I take dance classes — also with a trainer.
I used to go swimming — same thing.

And even now, when my Spanish is already around B2,
I still study with a tutor for about 4 hours a week.

Why?

Because when there’s someone you’re accountable to, you simply don’t have the option to quit.

Without that, we quickly come up with a thousand reasons to “do it later.”

If you’ve ever watched a Russian movie without subtitles and understood literally nothing —
you’re not failing at Russian😏

You were just never taught how to listen.

Here’s what’s actually going on 👇

Most courses teach you to know Russian — vocabulary, grammar, cases.
But understanding real speech is a completely different skill.
And almost nobody teaches it🥺

The problem is in the details.

In a textbook you see: сегодня
In real life a Russian says: «сёдня»

поэтому → «патаму»
говорит → «грит»

Your brain learned the clean version.
Natives almost never use it😵‍💫

So no matter how many words you know — fast speech still sounds like one long blur.

This isn’t a vocabulary problem.
It’s an ear problem👀

The fix → listening fluency

You start with slow, clear Russian audio and shadow it — repeat out loud as you listen.

Then you gradually move to faster, more natural speech until native speed starts to feel normal👌🏼

The test is simple:

If you can repeat a phrase at native speed — your brain understood every word.

That’s the moment it clicks💡

What doesn’t work:

— watching Russian Netflix
— listening to podcasts in the background

That’s sitting near Russian — not training your ear.

This is exactly what we work on in my https://russianromanova.com/ https://russianromanova.com/
And honestly, seeing students go from total confusion to understanding real conversations — that’s the best part of my job🤍

Есть одна фраза, которую вы точно услышите в этот день:

«Христос воскрес!»
— «Воистину воскрес!»

Так люди приветствуют друг друга
и поздравляют с праздником

Ещё есть традиция — стукаться яйцами🫣

Это просто маленькая, но очень любимая часть праздника

Даже если вы не религиозны,
интересно знать такие вещи про язык и культуру

А вы уже знали эту фразу? 😊

А на этих фото - куличи, которые нам испекла подруга🤍

There’s one phrase you will definitely hear on this day:

“Christ is risen!”
— “Indeed He is risen!”

This is how people greet each other
and congratulate one another on the holiday

There’s also a tradition — tapping eggs together🫣

It’s a small but very loved part of the celebration

Even if you’re not religious,
it’s still interesting to learn things like this about the language and culture

Did you already know this phrase? 😊

And in these photos — kulich that our friend baked for us🤍

Ребята, я вообще забыла вам рассказать 😅

Вчера в России был не только праздник Пасхи…

Но ещё и День космонавтики 🚀

Это очень важный день.

12 апреля 1961 года
Юрий Гагарин стал первым человеком в космосе

Поэтому в России этот день до сих пор помнят и отмечают🥹

Кстати, есть известная фраза, которую он сказал перед полётом:

«Поехали!» 🚀

Вот такой неожиданный факт 🙂

А вы знали про этот день?

Guys, I completely forgot to tell you 😅

Yesterday in Russia it wasn’t just Easter…

It was also Cosmonautics Day 🚀

It’s a very important day.

On April 12, 1961,
Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space.

That’s why this day is still remembered and celebrated in Russia 🥹

By the way, there’s a famous phrase he said before the launch:

“Let’s go!” 🚀

A pretty unexpected fact 🙂

Did you know about this day?

Всем привет, ребята!
Вы уже смотрели мои сторис в Инстаграме?☺️

Я там рассказала, как у меня исчез огромный пакет с продуктам🥲 Очень забавная история, так что идите и смотрите.

Hi everyone!
Have you already watched my Instagram stories? I shared how a huge bag of groceries disappeared on me. It’s a pretty funny story — go check it out!

Сегодня в России Пасха 🐣

Это очень тёплый и семейный праздник.

Моя сестра сегодня первый раз пекла куличи🥹

Я думаю, это всегда немного волнительно в первый раз
но получилось очень красиво и вкусно🫶🏼

В России многие готовят куличи дома
и потом едят их с семьёй

А вы готовите что-то на Пасху? 😊

Today is Easter in Russia 🐣

It’s a very warm and family-oriented holiday.

Today my sister baked kulichi for the first time 🥹

I think it’s always a little nerve-wracking the first time,
but they turned out really beautiful and delicious 🫶🏼

In Russia, many people bake kulichi at home
and then enjoy them with their families.

Do you cook or bake anything for Easter? 😊

Yes guys, can you imagine — I completely forgot that April 1st is April Fools’ Day in Russia 😅

In Russia there’s a saying:
“Don’t trust anyone the whole month of April”

Because in April people love to joke and prank each other.

These can be simple jokes 🙂

For example:
“You’ve got something on your shirt”
or
“Look, something fell over there”

But sometimes people plan bigger pranks in advance
and even involve other people 👀

So in April you have to stay alert 😄

Do you have a day like this?
Do you like joking or are you usually the one being pranked?

Да, ребята, представляете — я совсем забыла, что 1 апреля в России был День смеха 😅

В России есть такая фраза:
«Весь апрель никому не верь»

Потому что именно в апреле люди любят шутить и разыгрывать друг друга.

Это могут быть простые шутки 🙂

Например:
«У тебя что-то на рубашке»
или
«Смотри, там что-то упало»

А иногда люди готовят большие розыгрыши заранее и даже привлекают других людей👀

Так что в апреле нужно быть внимательным 😄

А у вас есть такой день?
Любите шутить или вас чаще разыгрывают?

Пасха — это очень важный праздник. Люди идут в церковь, встречаются с семьёй и готовят традиционную еду.

Самое главное — это кулич и яйца.

Кулич — это сладкий хлеб.
А яйца красят в разные цвета, чаще всего — в красный.

Есть одна интересная традиция 🙂

Люди стукаются яйцами и говорят:
«Христос воскрес!»
— «Воистину воскрес!»

Даже если вы не религиозный человек,это всё равно очень тёплый и семейный праздник 🤍

А вы отмечаете Пасху? 😊

I think it really depends on what you’ve seen and the kind of people you’ve been around 🤔

Because in my experience, it’s actually the opposite. My friends always support each other. My sister is in that kind of environment too.

But even if we don’t talk about people I know, there was a very interesting example 👀

A few months ago, a trend started in Russia. Women began posting on Instagram saying they needed help.

It all started with one girl 🥺

She had a very difficult childbirth. No one picked her up from the hospital. Her home was a mess, and she needed help.

So she posted about it.

And another woman — a complete stranger — replied:

“I’ll come and help☺️”

And she actually did.

Then other women started posting too.

Some needed someone to pick them up.
Some needed food.
Some needed help with a baby.

And other women helped.

They came over, cooked, cleaned, took care of the baby,
so the mother could rest.

For free 😳

And it turned into a huge movement.

Women started helping each other in different situations.

So I can’t say there’s no support.

Yes, there are all kinds of people everywhere.

But I often see women in Russia supporting each other 🤍

You can know 2000 Russian words and still not understand native speakers🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, really.

Many learners reach this point🥲

They know vocabulary
They know grammar

But when two Russians start talking at normal speed, it sounds like one long blur.

Because understanding real speech is a separate skill.

If you want to understand native Russian, you need to train your ear step by step🫶🏼

That means:

listening to a lot of audio and video,
doing shadowing, starting with slower and easier speech, and then gradually moving to faster and more natural 🇷🇺

The goal is very simple:

to reach the point where you can hear a phrase in natural speech and repeat it almost at the same speed.

Because if you can repeat it, it means your brain actually recognized every word in the stream.

Vocabulary matters too.

If you’ve never heard words like работаю, сегодня, поэтому, they will simply disappear in fast speech.

That’s why listening practice can’t be passive.

You need a lot of input, a lot of repetition, and gradual exposure to real native speech.

That’s why in https://russianromanova.com/ we eventually move to real native-speed audio and practice shadowing step by step.

Because that’s the moment when students stop hearing “блаблабла”…😅 and start hearing actual words.

Women understand eachother. I never saw the support part when I was in Russia, specially when a woman saw another better looking woman.
