Russian with Anastasia Romanova

Fatherland Day (Den zashchitnika Otechestva)

Yesterday I showed you the very first donation I received for March 8️⃣th. And today I want to share this one separately — because it came from a girl 🫶 Of course I hid the name. And honestly, it feels even more special. In Russia we sometimes say something like “a woman is a home for another woman” — meaning that women support and understand each other. So it means a lot to me that not only men, but also the female part of my audience supports me and what I do here❤️ Thank you so much for your...

Why is it that in Russian the name of the country is Германия but if you talk about a German national or the language you use немецкий?

Привет, ребята! Вы видели мои сторис? Я говорила про челлендж 🙂 Я буду делать сторис и писать здесь на русском. Как вам такая идея? Если вы не понимаете — нажмите кнопку «перевод».

How do you like this idea? If you don’t understand — just tap the translate button. I’ll also add translations. This...

And that’s when you realize that the person is already t...

To the female half of my audience — today is your day🌷 In Russia we like to say that on March 8th everything is at your feet🥹 And honestly… it shouldn’t be only today. You are the bright and gentle half of humanity — strong and soft at the same time, capable of inspiring, supporting, loving, and making the world warmer just by being in it🥰 May you always feel appreciated, protected, and truly loved. May your dreams come true, your homes be filled with warmth, and your hearts with joy. And may...

Guys, do you use Threads?🤔

Many Russian learners accidentally say this sentence: “I am a cold person.” But what they actually wanted to say was: “I am cold.” But in Russian we say: “Мне холодно.” Which literally means: “To me it is cold.” Same with other feelings. “I am hot” → Мне жарко “I am sad” → Мне грустно “I am bored” → Мне скучно So grammatically you’re not describing yourself. You’re describing a state that happens to you. It’s a small difference, but it shows how languages think differently. When English speakers...

Guys, as I told you, Russia is currently in a little “holiday season”. And tomorrow is a very important day for the female half of the country — March 8th😍 Yes, I know this day exists in Europe too, but the meaning feels a bit different. In many places it’s…
