Russian language

Polyglot 16 Russian language. Official application from Dmitry Petrov. For Russian language learners.

The Polyglot 16 - Russian application will help you study Russian with ease.
After 16 lessons you will master the basic Russian grammar and remember more than 500 Russian words. Effective exercises will help you practice grammar and vocabulary.

ABOUT AUTHOR
Dmitry Petrov is a linguist, who knows 30 different languages ​​and does professional simultaneous interpretation in 8 of them. He is an author of some rapid language learning methods, including parallel learning of several languages.

• 16 units, more than 60 practice exercises for various topics
• Answers synchronization
• Thorough explanation of the Russian grammar
• Vocabulary practice exercises
• Results record
• Various learning modes

In 2012, the first season of the reality show was released on the Culture channel - Polyglot - English in 16 hours. The ambitious goal is stated right away in the title of the program.

8 participants with different levels of knowledge: from elementary to zero.

16 lessons with an experienced teacher, during which you had to:

• compile a basic dictionary;
• master the basics of grammar;
• and ultimately speaking.

The purpose of the program “Polyglot - English in 16 hours”

– to help students enjoy their classes and make it clear that achieving tangible progress in learning a foreign language is not a fairy tale, but a reality.

Not to be intimidated by deliberate complexity, but to open up new spaces: so as not to suffer over the next exercise or stack of words, but to live the language, take the most desired, necessary for:

• communicating with foreigners: on social networks, on forums, when traveling abroad;
• viewing films and TV series in the original;
• access to information sources.

In 16 hours it is possible:

A person who has a more or less decent command of his native language is, by definition, capable of speaking another language. At least on a basic level. The only limiting factor can be a lack of motivation. Dmitry Petrov

Dmitry Petrov

• Linguist and part-time polyglot. Known to varying degrees in more than 30 languages.
• Simultaneous interpreter. Works with major European languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish and German. And, not so revered by the masses, Czech, Greek and Hindi.
• Lecturer at Moscow State Linguistic University.
• Author of the book “The Magic of Words”.

But Petrov’s main merit is not in his titles, but in the methodology voiced in the program “Polyglot - English in 16 hours.”

Many simply do not need to delve very deeply into all the richness of the language. They want faster, more practical results. Actually, for this reason I tried to formulate the basic principles of the methodology.

Its essence boils down to the following: there are a number of basic algorithms, a certain matrix, a “multiplication table” of the language, which must be brought to automation as quickly as possible. Dmitry Petrov

Personally, I identified two main advantages of Petrov’s lessons, which are 100% consistent with the main theses of the program itself:

• increased motivation;
• presenting the basics in a concise, concise form.

Let's consider these points in more detail.

Polyglot - English in 16 hours - reality!

Many people need language for travel, study or work. But how many people actually acquire the skills?

Most people perceive any foreign language as a sealed secret. Something so complex that only a select few, gifted from birth (with excellent memory, a special way of thinking), can master it.

Memories of school hardships do not help progress either. Memories:

• about the mess in the head after classes;
• about the thick fog that obscures the vision when trying to cope with homework.

So is it possible to overcome disbelief and change the perception of English as a kind of Holy Grail that everyone has heard about, but few have seen?

Polyglot comes to the rescue, promising the impossible - to teach a language in 16 hours? It turns out that it’s time to pack your bags and prepare for the tour according to the scheme - Suitcase → Moscow → London, New York, Sydney?

No!

This is impossible, despite the promises of pseudo-linguists, neither in a week nor in 3 months. In such a short period of time, the only thing you can really master is the alphabet.

And Dmitry notes that he did not intend to teach everything in less than a day (two full working days):

Nobody ever set out to teach a language in 16 hours. The point is to overcome the psychological barrier, help students experience the comfort of learning a language and understand that it is real. Dmitry Petrov

It helps a lot when a person with many years of experience in studying and teaching languages ​​(he knows more than one) assures that you are able to understand, master and speak a foreign language. This is why the cherished 16 hours are needed - to open your eyes.

And before we move on to the second point, firmly remember one simple but important idea - Each of us has already mastered one language.

In my case, it is Russian.

An integrated (volumetric) approach to studying

What does this mean?

Let's formulate the question differently: How do they teach at school, and what is Dmitry Petrov's approach?

School program

Familiar to most and looks something like this:

• first we learn the Present Simple and a long list of nouns;
• in the next lesson Future Simple and some irregular verbs;
• in a week - Past Simple and try to read;
• at the end - a test on Simple tenses.

And so in a circle: Simple → Continuous → Perfect → Perfect Continuous, flavoring the times with interrogative and negative variations, stacks of words and reading texts, most of the meaning of which remains a mystery.

And the problem is not only the complexity of the subject or the incorrectness of the methods.

Speed ​​of material absorption

Each person has an individual speed of mastering the material. This applies not only to English: to all disciplines. Students gather in one class:

• able to get ahead of the curriculum;
• coping with the load;
• who are hopelessly behind and, ultimately (years later), simply “give up” on the subject.

This situation in education was revealed at the panel Sal Khan, offering to teach not for the sake of passing tests, but for gaining knowledge and developing skills.

English subtitles are available in the video.

Sal Khan. “Learn for improvement, not for passing tests.”

English difference

What's special? That:

• half of any textbook is written in an unknown language?
• Parents who studied German at school are not able to help with the analysis of the next rule?
• Despite the deep penetration of the English language into our lives, a learning culture has not been formed in Russia (in comparison, for example, with the Scandinavian countries)?
• Our fellow citizens do not have the opportunity to travel around the world (to places where knowledge of foreign languages ​​is required)?
• Is society inert and we need to be patient?

Who knows. Perhaps a little bit of everything.

But what does Polyglot offer as an answer to the silent question?

What does the course “Polyglot – English in 16 hours” include?

First, let's look at the time tables:

Times Present

One table contains the basis of all Simple time. For comparison, in the tutorial that I used, this time is scattered across three chapters 6, 11 and 12.

Negative and interrogative forms - the same story - chapters 8 and 9.

So you either have to invent your own general table of times, or go through the entire textbook every time.

Continuous tenses

A similar scheme applies to extended (long) time.

Of course, English times are not reduced to two tablets. There is the universally hated Perfect, the terrible Perfect Continuous, and then the completely incomprehensible one. But:

Firstly, these two tables present most used tenses.

Secondly, these times are the basis that will take the weight of other knowledge.

Course vocabulary

The next thing you should pay attention to is vocabulary.

The average English speaker is able to actively use 20,000 words. 8,000-9,000 is required for free communication and reading non-specialized literature in the original.

90% of human speech consists of 300-350 words, regardless of a person’s age, his level of education and the language he speaks. Dmitry Petrov

Below I will leave lists of words that were used in the course “Polyglot - English in 16 hours”. Total 300 lexical units:

I did not include some expressions that were mentioned in the lessons. They were not given as frequency or importance, but simply came up in conversation or were part of the topic. For example: surrealist (surrealist), whim (whim), cuisine (kitchen: about cooking).

Nouns, adjectives, adverbs

Pronouns

Time indication

Traveler's Concise Dictionary

This selection can be compared with two others:

The main difference between Dmitry Petrov’s program and the school course

– minimum (basic) volumes grammar and vocabulary are given immediately, in the first hours of class. And the main work is carried out in bringing their use to automatism (the level of freedom of proficiency in the native language).

Your speech will not become refined and varied. The sentences will be of the same type and bland in sound. But there will be:

• ease and fluency of pronunciation;
• ability to convey a message.

Believe me, understanding what is written in a book or newspaper, heard in a film or video on YouTube is much easier than starting to write and speak yourself.

Perhaps that is why the program participants immediately begin to construct proposals.

Use of acquired knowledge

How long does it take before a student can (should) speak English?

According to Dmitry Petrov, less than an hour. Without putting it aside, in the very first lesson, students (even those who have never studied the language) begin to construct simple sentences. Just subject + predicate:

• I'm open.
• I will open.
• I opened.

An elementary thing, but like the first step on the surface of the Moon, it is a huge leap for that part of humanity that wants to master the English language.

Practicing speaking not only develops the most difficult skill, but also adds confidence from the very beginning. You realize that you are able to speak. And this is a huge plus for motivation - the only critical parameter for the development of any skills.

In conclusion

I advise you to immediately start practicing the grammatical structures and words you are learning:

Do this every day. Find an hour, half an hour, ten minutes, but don’t stop making progress. As the author of the course advises, find a couple of free minutes several times a day:

• lunch break;
• travel by bus;
• going to the store.

The minutes that make up the hours on which your success or failure depends.

There are always exceptions

But don’t be afraid to say that your school years were not in vain. That after graduation they could easily go to Britain and talk to a passerby without tension or a shadow of doubt. I believe that such people exist and for them the program “Polyglot - English in 16 hours” is a long-ago step.

But from personal experience of studying at a Russian school and looking around right now, I also understand that you are an exception. Most people (in terms of foreign languages) are still wandering in the dark.

Everyone can dispel this darkness. You just need to start stepping in the right direction - the one that Dmitry Petrov has already suggested with his “Polyglot”.

English in 16 hours online with Dmitry Petrov

"Polyglot. English course"– the first season of an intellectual reality show on TV channel "Russia - Culture" broadcast from January 16 to February 9, 2012. Dmitry Petrov's program, broadcast on one of the country's main television channels, teaches all viewers and participants to quickly master the language, which can be used immediately after the first lesson.
Dmitry Petrov- an expert in more than 30 languages ​​of the world, an excellent psycholinguist, simultaneous translator, and methodologist for quickly introducing language into students’ heads. His book “The Magic of the Word” has long broken circulation records for educational books. His technique really gives excellent results in a short time. Comfortable learning a new language for Dmitry Petrov is the main priority in the presentation of material. He teaches ordinary expressions and words, and then reinforces complex figures of speech in a foreign language.
There are 8 students in the group. All students either do not know the language they are studying at all, or, at best, they have vague memories of the school curriculum. Already in the first lesson they begin to communicate in the language. With mistakes, with long pauses, with tension, but progress is noticeable immediately. Anyone can watch lessons and learn - both a child who goes to primary school and a pensioner sitting at home.
Your main task for yourself Dmitry Petrov considers not only machine learning, but also memorization for many years.
The program consists of 16 episodes, each episode lasts about 45 minutes - this is quite a long time for a lesson, so you need to pay very close attention to every minute of this precious and intelligent show. TV viewers notice progress literally from the second or third program. Each subsequent lesson consolidates the material covered and gradually moves on to new grammatical and lexical material.
Program “Polyglot. Learn English in 16 hours!" It is very useful in our difficult times, when foreign language lessons are quite expensive for the average person, and not everyone is able to study independently correctly.
Dmitry Petrov about the success of my students: “During the intensive course that I offer, I try to create in students a fireproof stock of knowledge, which, at a maximum, can serve as a good basis for continuing their studies, and at a minimum will ensure that the language will never again be perceived as foreign , will evoke positive emotions and, if you return to it even after some time, you will not have to start learning it again from scratch. But, of course, to use it effectively, additional regular training will be required.”
Watch and learn at home and for free.

A real gift from the famous linguist Dmitry Petrov and the Kultura TV channel. A video course of 16 lessons, after which you will be able to speak English. This is the most useful English course for beginners I have ever seen. Below is the text of the video. Watch and read, you won’t regret it!

Good afternoon Today we will begin a course that will take 16 lessons. Our goal is to learn to speak English. To master a language perfectly, even a lifetime is not enough. To learn to speak professionally, you also need to spend enough time, effort, and energy. But in order to simply learn to understand people, to be understood and, most importantly, to get rid of the fear that for many inhibits any desire and ability to communicate in language - I am sure that this will take no more than a few days.

What I offer you, I have experienced on myself and quite a large number of people: I am a professional translator, a professional linguist, I do simultaneous translation in a number of languages, I teach this to others... And gradually some approach, some kind of mechanism has developed... And it is necessary to say that there is such a progression: each subsequent language requires less effort, less time.

- How many languages ​​do you know?

There are 7-8 main European languages ​​with which I constantly work as a translator and as a teacher. Well, there are 2-3 dozen other languages ​​that I can speak in a situation where it is necessary.

- And what, you learned all these languages ​​in just a few lessons?!

Yes, if we are talking about the second category of languages, this is absolutely true. A week is enough for any language.

Let me explain what is required for this. After all, what is language? First of all, language is a new look at the world, at the surrounding reality. This is the ability to switch, that is, to make a click - just like in a receiver we change one program to another - to tune in to a different wave. What is required on your part is, first of all, motivation. It could be just a desire to travel, it could be something related to a profession, training, or communication. It could be friendship and, finally, love.

Now we will try to figure out what was stopping you from learning the language along the way. Because you might think that we are talking about some kind of miracle: how can you speak a language in a few days? In my opinion, the miracle is different: how can you learn a language for months, years and not be able to connect some basic things in it? Therefore, I will ask you to start by giving your names and in a nutshell, say what has been a significant difficulty for you until now, why don’t you still speak English?

- My name is Michael. First of all, there was no incentive for me to speak. And at school, when I was going through this whole thing, at some point I missed it, then I didn’t understand it and...

This is a fairly typical argument, because most of you know a huge number of English words - consciously or subconsciously, but English words are everywhere. But they can be compared to a scattering of beads, which themselves are scattered, but there is no system. The lack of a system prevents you from using words effectively, so one of the basic principles of my method, my system, is to create this thread, a rod where you can string all these beads.

Please, what is your name?

- Daria.

How was your relationship with language?

- Well, to be honest, it seems to me that only laziness prevented me from learning it, because, in principle, I already started teaching it all the time in kindergarten, and I still don’t know, although I have the desire. Now I really want to learn English!

Well, laziness is a state and a quality worthy of respect. We must accept everything that is in us. Because fighting laziness is unrealistic. Therefore, I want to tell you good news: in addition to the fact that our course is quite compact (it’s not years or months, it’s 16 lessons, by the end of which, I hope, if you help me and take a step forward, you and I will simply speak English) you will have to do some things on your own, but another good news is that you won't have to sit for hours and do some homework. Firstly, because it is unrealistic - no adult will ever do any homework for hours, no matter what he does.

I will ask you to repeat for a few minutes each day certain things that I will ask you to do at the end of each lesson. I can't believe you don't have 5 minutes 2-3 times a day to repeat certain structures. What is it for? The amount of information that is really worth mastering, learning, cramming into yourself does not exceed the multiplication table. It will be necessary to bring several basic structures to automation. What does it mean? Bring them to the level at which, for example, our legs work when they walk, how the structures of our native language work for us. This is quite real.

Please, what is your name?

- My name is Anna. The formal approach prevented me from learning English. Because I actually did well in school, and the generally simple things we studied boiled down to patterns that I can’t use when I meet a real person. Now, for example, a man from Dublin came to visit us, and I feel that there is no full communication taking place. I’m offended, time is running out... At the same time, I remember that I know everything, I have a 5 in English: the table is white, the wall is black, everything is fine, but there’s nothing to say!

Resentment is a very powerful motivation! OK, thank you! You?

- My name is Vladimir. I'm just ashamed. I feel bad when I can't express myself. I understand that it is quite relaxing, as I once had, I was talking to an Englishman after a couple of beers - I could communicate with him easily. For some reason, I didn’t like studying since childhood. I had the feeling that I knew everything. I have a feeling that I also know English. Sometimes in my dreams I speak easily and understand everything. Sometimes watching a film in English, I fall asleep and begin to understand it. But I could never learn to speak.

- My name is Anastasia. It seems to me that my lack of immersion in the environment is hindering me. Because when I start teaching myself and studying from books, these patterns begin: what comes first, what comes next, all the verbs... I can’t improvise anymore, I always remember this pattern in my head and think that I need to substitute it there.

Absolutely right! Our goal is to ensure that this scheme does not need to be remembered.

- My name is Alexandra. What probably hinders me is that there is a huge range of different methods and schools. I have a huge amount of information in my head, but I still can’t talk about the past, future and present. I get confused in these forms and, naturally, after 10 minutes my interlocutor says OK... :)

Well, maybe you are generally philosophical about time?.. As the course progresses, we will put things in order.

- My name is Oleg, and I have a certain horror, of course, about irregular verbs...

The beginning was similar: my name is Oleg and I’m an alcoholic :)

- I’m scared all the time, it seems to me that I can’t concentrate on the language, which, as it seems to me, I now know at the level of “yours, mine understands.”

- My name is Alice. I was always hampered by laziness and lack of time to go to courses and simply restore the language in volume.

Language in general, quite rightly, should be perceived as something three-dimensional. Any information that we receive in a linear form (a list of words, a table, a diagram of some rules, verbs) - this causes what we call the student syndrome: learned, passed and forgotten. To learn a language extensively, it is not enough to know words; you need to feel your physical presence in a new environment. Therefore, an image and some kind of emotional attachments and sensations must be connected. Now, if I ask you a question offhand, when they talk about the English language, what association comes to mind? Here English language- what came immediately?

- Envy! When I see children who speak English...

From childhood and for free :)

- And I remember the book. The Shakespeare edition is old, old! At my parents. Such a brown cover... I’ve been leafing through it since childhood, thinking, oh my God! And fields overgrown with heather...

Heather honey :)

So the first schema is the verb schema.
The verb in every language is the stem. Moreover, it must be said that when we talked about the number of words that need to be mastered, there is the following statistics: regardless of our age, level of education, or the language we speak, 90% of our speech is 300 - 350 words. By the way, from the list of these basic 300 words, verbs occupy 50 - 60 words (depending on the language).

According to the logic of using verbs, we can talk about either the present, the future, or the past.
We can either affirm or deny something, or ask a question.
And here we get a table of 9 possible options.

Let's take some verb. For example, love. The functionality of the verb is given by the system of pronouns:

I, you, we, they, he, she.

You love means “you love” or “you love”. Sometimes they mistakenly claim that everything in English is “you”. Nothing like this! In English everything starts with “you”. There is a word for “you” in English, but it is only used when addressing God, in prayers, in the Bible, etc. This word is thou, but we won’t even write it down, because it’s a rare native speaker who even knows it.

Now, if the person is 3rd, then here we add the letter s:

In any language that we take on, in my opinion, it is necessary to give all forms of the verb at once, so that we can immediately see the three-dimensional structure. It’s not like today we learned it, a month later - the past tense, a year later - the interrogative form... All at once, in the first minutes!

Read more about times in the article. There's a video there. Dragunkin explains everything very clearly :)

To form the past tense, add the letter d:

I loved
he loved
she loved

To form the future tense, the auxiliary word will is added: I will love; he will love; she will love.

- What about “shall”?

Canceled. For the last 30 years, “shall” has been used in legal/clerical language.

- So when we were taught it, it had already been canceled?

It was no longer there!)

And here we have the affirmative form of the verb.

- What is “it”?

“It” no. There is no word “it” in English because there is no gender. The Russian language has masculine, feminine and neuter gender, while the English language has none. The word it simply means “this” and has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, many who were taught in school that he, she, it are three genders, remained in this misconception. There is no gender in English! There is one common genus. He and she are words indicating a person's gender, but they are not grammatical gender. In Russian it is big/bolshaya/bolshoe, in English it will all be big.

That is, if I play with the word “it” (it) in some literary way, like in Russian, they won’t be able to translate me?

Absolutely. Therefore, we have to look for some other means.

…
Negative form: don’t is added:

I/you/we/they don’t love; he/she doesn't love.

Negative form in past tense:

I/you/we/they/he/she didn’t love.

This structure is the most important, the most difficult, the very first in the English language. Once you have mastered it, it’s like mastering half the language.

Negative form in the future tense:

I/you/we/they/he/she will not love.

Interrogative form in the present tense: DO, DOES is added.

Interrogative form in past tense: DID.

Interrogative form in the future tense: WILL.

The result is a system of coordinates: first I decide whether I AFFIRM, ASK or DENIAL, then I find out whether it WAS, IS or WILL BE?

Here is this list, in which there are 50 - 60 verbs that every person constantly uses (there are, of course, 1000 others, but they occupy 10%). There are regular verbs: love, live, work, open, close... But there is another half of the verbs, which is called and causes awe and horror, because from childhood everyone remembers these tables with three forms, hundreds of some verbs...

So, in fact, in the basic list that we need to master and bring to automatism, there are half of them, that is, 20 - 30 irregular verbs that we need to master. Let's take the irregular (super-irregular) verb see:

I don't see. It doesn't

Nothing has changed yet...

And only in one case (a statement in the past tense) out of 9 possible cases does the “obscene” form saw appear:

This is the form of the verb that is written in brackets: see (saw).

Moreover, irregular verbs can only be very common, because in the course of history they are used so often that they are inevitably distorted.

The third form of the verb, which we will get to later, is the participle (seen, done, etc.), so it must be lumped together with the verb form.

In all other 8 cases, whether the verb is regular or irregular is not important.

Tell me, are “he came” and “he came” the same thing in English?

The concept of aspect (perfective aspect / imperfective aspect) exists only in Russian (Slavic languages):

Come, come

This is not the case in English:

He came – he came; He came

You take a verb and run it through all these forms. This takes from 20 to 30 seconds. Then take another verb. When mastering structures, regularity of repetition is much more important than the amount of time. It is very important. You will see that after 2-4 lessons this structure will work automatically.

Is this diagram clear? There are several other schemes that are simpler, smaller in volume and more understandable. But everything is based on this scheme, so it needs to be brought to automaticity. When you try to speak, this is the first thing to do. And you either need to spend time and energy on this to glue it together on your internal monitor, or make sure that it works on its own, for you.

With regular repetition, after a few days, this structure will begin to work automatically, which may not have happened for many years.

Usually this is given very piecemeal and the relationship is not explained. When there is no single three-dimensional picture, problems arise that haunt many people for years.

With this we will finish our first lesson, and I really hope that you will find a few minutes to try to move this structure towards automation. Goodbye!
