Within a year of studying, I personally find this relatively easy with basic vocabulary.Thank you for the video.

Русский язык для меня родной. Прослушал задания и могу сказать, что для новичков они будут очень сложными! Но если кто-нибудь из иностранцев сможет правильно ответить на больше, чем половину вопросов, я думаю, он может гордиться собой)

I found it super helpful, despite the others. You really just have to pick apart the words you actually know, figure out what they’re saying, and try to decipher what the other words they say are. I didn’t know what printer was in russian, but it’s a cognate, so I picked it up. Helps me learn new words

privyet, for now I only know this word.

NOT FOR BEGINNERS. I've been living in Russia for a year, studying 30 minutes a day, and speaking with locals many times a week. I can catch a few words but still have NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON.

[HiyayaHo]

Extremely helpful ! Thank u Russian pod101!

[sfacchy]

[illehnation]

xD for beginners? bruh I've been studying for nearly 6 months and I struggle with this

[fahrenheit_]

Ok, This will be the video that I'll use to compare my Russian. In a few months I'll come back here and try to understand it, now I can only understand the word "где". I started to learn Russian 2 days ago, I can read most of the words already (not perfectly), but I don't know what they mean.

[domispablo]

Its my russian gcse tomorrow and the fact i can pick keu words in this which is faster then the audio in gcse makes me feel more prepared than i thought i was. If tnis lastmin vid is the reason ingo well then thank you

[areruben]

Gee, guys, I think I need more practice. Thanks a bunch!

[shinychu]

This is so useful and great!! I learned so much from this. I can understand 2/4 of it. And my answers is correct most of the time :D This is not for beginner beginners but you have to know at least a few words to understand it. Maybe watch their other videos where they teach words. You have to learn at least 2-3 pages of words to understand it. Don't blame the video makers blame yourself and learn words :D!! Have fun on your journey of

[kslepets]

I'm a native speaker, I think it's for elementary students, definitely not for those who have started learning Russian from scratch but people speak really slowly in this video if we compare it with the speed of the real life conversation somewhere in a shop or in an office. In a way it wasn't bad but still I guess that they shouldn't have marked it for beginners, it's not actually true) if you want to study Russian, you should be really persistent, it takes a lot of time and effort but it's absolutely worth it!:) Lots of love from Moscow)

[sardoreshmuminov]

Thank you so much if it is for beginners or elementary level. Because it is good method of teaching language. Others should learn

[Trumppower]

Not for beginners.. more advanced learners

[kicsipunk]

Nice video! When I read comments like "this is not for beginners", I feel even more satisfied about I could easly answer all of the questions. I'm learning Russian for 1, 5 years now, but only by myself. To undertsand live speech was very hard before I found videos like that, but now I can communicate in speech too, so thank you!

[jareno]

To everyone saying it is not for beginners I'd argue that it is, if you watch beginner listening practice on other languages you'll see it is of a similar difficulty. Russian is a very hard language, it takes a lot of effort and hard work to speak, but you can't lower the standard of how proficient a beginner should be because of this. Its normal that it takes far longer to understand listening practice for in beginners in Russian compared to Spanish for example. (If your native language is English)

[fabriceteurquety]

I am false beginner, I learned russian 30 years ago, and lost everything after that ! I started again 6 months ago ! And believe me this is not for beginner for sure !
