MY SECOND YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR BEGINNERS (RUSSIAN LEVEL 1) - youtube.com/channel/UCur4MnqO1dkwtvnEdHd6xHQ
ABOUT
In this lesson, we´ll be learning Russian with one of the most famous Russian songs - Kalinka. We´ll go through every single line, you'll see the lyrics both in English and Russian, and I'll slowly pronounce each line in Russian a couple of times.
Kalinka is a diminutive of kalina - which is the name of a tree. To simplify the translation, I kept the word “kalinka” untranslated. This song is probably not the best for learning Russian vocabulary because it has many rarely used in daily life words but it’s great for practising your Russian pronunciation. The chorus is clearly the "hook" of the song with the music getting faster and faster. Try to sing along and keep up with the pace. If you have suggestions on which song I should use next for my lessons, leave a comment below. Let's go!
If you liked learning Russian with music, there is a good chance you will also like my series "Learn Russian with Movies." There we will watch clips from famous Russian and foreign movies while learning Russian words and phrases from them. You'll find the links at the top of this description. you there!
