Some Russian words look like English words, but they mean something completely different. Here are 6 tricky Russian words to remember: фами́лия ≠ family It means surname.

I’m going to the shop. журна́л = magazine Example: Я чита́ю журна́л. I’m reading a magazine. арти́ст ≠ artist It usually means performer. Example: Э́тот арти́ст хорошо́ поёт. This performer sings well. худо́жник = artist Example: Э́тот худо́жник рису́ет портре́ты. This artist paints portraits. аккура́тный ≠ accurate It means neat / careful. Example: Он о́чень аккура́тный. He is very neat/careful. то́чный = accurate Example: Э́то то́чный отве́т. This is an accurate answer. симпати́чный ≠ sympathetic It means pretty / nice-looking. Example: Она́ о́чень симпати́чная. She is very pretty. отзы́вчивый = sympathetic / helpful Example: Он о́чень отзы́вчивый. He is very sympathetic/helpful. проспе́кт ≠ prospect It means avenue. Example: Мы живём на проспе́кте.

Бутерброд vs сендвич 🍞 Бутерброд = one open slice of bread with a topping. No second slice. Everyday, homey, traditional. Сендвич = two slices, filling inside. Feels more "café" or Western. The rule: a бутерброд is never closed. A сендвич is never open.

Когда в произведении 90% - это описание, очень хочется наконец добраться до сюжета 👀 Кстати, а вы знаете, что такое сюжет?

What it says: "Turgenev, who left Russia, writing about love for his homeland" ------------ Turgenev spent the last twenty years of his life abroad, but kept writing about Russia, Russian life, and the feeling of belonging. But let’s be honest, he had a very good reason to stay in Europe 😏 Her name was Pauline Viardot! Who she was, how she shaped his work, and why Turgenev chose life abroad (because yes, Pauline was not the only reason) - can tell us a lot about Russian literature and the 19th century 🪆

Herkese merhaba, hello everyone! Have you ever wanted to have an experience on the streets where Turkish is actually spoken? Well, in my new lesson category, I exactly do that! I take to journeys in the city I live, Izmir and I will show you around with my camera, talk to people and have real Turkish conversations with people on the street. For example if you are interested in the history of Turkey, I can take you to a museum and show you inside, if allowed. If you are interested in art, we can make a lesson in the art gallery. Or perhaps you wanted to learn how to interact with a little shop owner and to buy something. What if you wanted to actually approach a person on the street in Turkey and wanted to have a chat! The possibilities are endless! And you and you alone, with your creative ideas and interests, can make this lesson more engaging and fun! Check out the lesson now!

Хватит говорить "24 часа" по-русски! / Stop saying "24 hours" in Russian! В английском вы говорите "day and night" или "24 hours". В русском мы используем всего одно простое и короткое слово: СУТКИ. Как это работает? Это слово существует только во множественном числе. 1 сутки (одни сутки) = 24 часа. 3 суток (трое суток) = 72 часа. Бонус: полезные производные: - Круглосуточно (24/7): Этот зал работает круглосуточно. - Посуточно (Daily rent): Мы сняли квартиру посуточно. - Суточный (24-hour/daily): Суточная норма кофеина. Мини-задание: Попробуйте перевести фразу в комментариях: "I’ve been practicing Russian for 24 hours without a break!" (Подсказка: используйте фразу «целые сутки») Я проверю каждый ответ! 👇
