This contains the whole Huliganov Russian Course, from the beginning at the bottom to the end at the top, in order. This is intended to help people who have difficulty finding the parts they need on YouTube.
But you are advised to “click through” into the Youtube environment to watch, as there are comments on there by viewers, questions and answers, and sometimes errors spotted in these films by viewers, so that the complete experience of the course is actually on YouTube itself, by design. This is simply a simplified way of navigating it. If you wish to join the discussion either here or on there it is equally welcome – here the discussion will thread, there it will not, but what you write will probably be seen by more people.
the second part of the lesson above, finished off with an a capello rendering of “Esli u Vas netu tyoti” (“If you haven’t got an Auntie”) and a joke. Continue reading “RL 102 6/2”→
Again it was necessary to divide the lesson into two parts, and in this first part we look at the future imperfective, and take a first glimpse at verbal aspect, as well as looking at 1a verbs with roots in Y and E. Continue reading “RL 102 – 6/1 Basic Russian grammar lesson 6 part one”→

Other remarks:
On finishing the lesson, which needed at that time to be divided into two as otherwise the subtitles got compressed and he technology wasn’t available to me yet to sort that out, we then have a joke as usual and a particular favorite song.
The text for those who are interested, is as follows:
“Зажглась заря вечерняя
Над речкой голубой,
Прохладен вечер северный,
А мне тепло с гобой-
Припев: Веселая и грустная,
Всегда ты хороша,
Как наша песня русская
Как русская душа!
С тобою годы долгие
Без горя проживешь,
С тобою, синеокая,
Нигде не пропадешь.
Припев:
Погоним скоро улицей
Мы свадебных коней.
Ты станешь в жизни спутницей
И песнею моей.
Припев:
Зажглась заря вечерняя
Над речкой голубой,
Прохладен вечер северный,
А мне тепло с тобой.
Припев: Веселая и грустная,
Всегда ты хороша,
Как наша песня русская,
Как русская душа.”
This is “You are always beautiful” and the original is sung by the legend Evgeniy Belyaev of the Red Army Choir, look out for his work on YouTube.

Other remarks:
This is one of my most viewed and appreciated videos because, as I know from the ten percent of lepers who return, it has actually enabled people to crack getting a rolling r. It would appear that literally hundreds of people got the hang of it by listening to this explanation after failing with other explanations. The problem is, to put the tongue in the right place but the muscles of the tongue don’t get involved beyond placing the tongue where it will be a reed. The exhaling breath moves it then. It’s impossible to make the sound while breathing in, while French r can be made this way.
The video gives a dpdpdp techique to get the tongue in the right place, and after that talks about other values for “r” in a number of other languages, from Polish to Old English, Icelandic and Hungarian, as well as ideas for Latin practice.
Quote of the clip: “Just my Russian humour, we always like to joke about weapons, you know?”
