Hey guys!

Want to learn Russian but don't know where to start? Can't find any motivation to keep learning the language? Don't see any progress in your Russian skills? Want to find actual native speakers to talk to?

This is sort of a promotional post. I'm a teacher at this online academy which is techically a Discord server. We teach Russians English, German, French and many other languages. But we also have Russian classes for foreigners!

We've got:

• Less intensive group classes three days a week;

• Speaking clubs and individual classes;

• Wonderful teachers who are actually passionate about languages;

• Homework that makes learning fun;

• Constant feedback from teachers;

• An AMAZING community;

and so much more!

Right now the classes are avaliable for A0 and A1 only, but studying programs for higher levels are already being developed by our awesome teachers!

Сесть and its many meanings

Basic verbs can be surprisingly tricky. You might think the verb садиться/сесть ("to sit down") is straightforward, but it's anything but simple. Here's a dive into its multiple meanings:

To board (a bus, train, etc.):

Мы сели в автобус - We got on the bus.

To run out of battery:

У телефона села батарейка - My phone's battery is dead.

To shrink:

У меня футболка села после стирки - My T-shirt shrunk after washing.

To get imprisoned:

Он сел на пять лет - He went to prison for five years.

But that's not all! Here are some more uses:

My voice is gone, I can't speak:

У меня сел голос, я не могу говорить.

I am on a diet:

Я сел на диету.

I started a book - I want to finish it by summer:

Я села за книгу - хочу дописать к лету.

Which meaning of 'сесть' surprised you the most?

Don't worry guys, Daniel is actually the new Ophiuchus.

Happy learning about this meme day!

The very infrequent “Russian meme of the day” topic continues with a meme that’s been going strong for over a year now that I’m sure you will appreciate. 

It started with joking about your elderly relatives online sending out of the blue funky images congratulating you with the most random celebrations, the progenitor of such being this:

Cement day

Which soon enough caught on and became a meme, now supplying you with celebratory images for all occasions 

Happy broken charger day! 

Happy 4 hours of sleep day!

Happy burnout day!

Happy chip day! a classic of vaccinations 

Happy teflon pan tay!

Happy welded joint day!

Happy stress eating day!

Happy fucking scorcher day!

Happy day of day!

Happy waiting for the next day day!

Happy sad vegan sausage day!

The celebrations are endless, so I congratulate you with endless celebrations day!

just me trying to teach myself more Russian via Transformers media lmao

haven’t given up on my Russia based TFP AU, I’m just super super busy (end of year is go time for me and oh my god I’m trying so hard to get stuff done so I can just engage fully in Transformers bullshit again lmao) 

in the meantime making this ref post for myself because my memory sucks and I don’t want to lose track of my resources lol (and listening to TF in Russian helps me brainstorm ideas for the AU!)

YouTube - Transformers the Movie (1986) in Russian

TFP 

YouTube - Episodes in Russian 

Cyberverse 

YouTube - Hasbro Official Russian Episodes Playlist

Misc.

TFP Russian Language TCG 

If anyone has any other TF media in Russian, feel free to let me know! <3

currently I have no Cyrillic keyboard (although I have been looking forever) and my Russian layout keyboard stickers wore down, so typing in Cyrillic is a bit tough at the moment even when changing my keyboard layout input settings and it’s tricky for me to find stuff as my vocabulary isn’t great (yet!!!) 

I laughed when I was recently watching an episode of TFP in Russian and the only thing I understood in a scene was Fowler shouting “ya ne ponimayu” (”I don’t understand”) and I was like me too man LOL 

here's a comp of completely random pictures in russian that make me giggle: pt 2

The LITTLE BIG moment that had me shook

LITTLE BIG music videos are unique and interesting to Russians not only because of all this crazy stuff they always come up with, but also because these guys invite tons of Russian YouTubers to every music video. I might even write a list of people who have been invited so far, if Russian YouTube is interesting to you.

But my favorite cameo happened in their “I’M OK” music video. 

You see, the character on the left is Arseniy Popov. He’s one of the actors in Russian TV show “Improvisation” (pretty much the Russian version of “Whose line is it anyway?”). The thing is, there is an inside joke in the show about Arseniy being homosexual.

In the LITTLE BIG's music video Arseniy Popov not only appeared as the first TV celebrity, but the band kept the inside joke that they were clearly aware of. 

As a big fan of both “Improvisation” and LITTLE BIG, I was absolutely thrilled.
