MY SECOND YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR BEGINNERS (RUSSIAN LEVEL 1) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCur4MnqO1dkwtvnEdHd6xHQ
ABOUT
This video is all about Russian listening practice. A couple of months ago I published a similar listening test with 100 Russian sentences for beginners. You guys told me that it was very useful, so I decided to make another video for you to practice your Russian listening comprehension, but this time with slightly more difficult phrases for intermediate learners.
You’ll hear 50 short sentences in Russian, and each sentence will be repeated three times. The first two times there will be no subtitles. You should listen carefully and try to guess what I say in Russian. Then the recording will be played again, and the Russian sentence with its English translation will be displayed on the screen, so you can check the answer.
Remember that if you repeatedly listen to the pronunciation of native Russian speakers, it will really improve your Russian listening comprehension!
