Russian World Lesson 55 - Russian language Class

Hello. Good morning. Good day. My name is Vera Alekseevna Polyakova-Norwood. Welcome. Welcome to the Russian language lesson. So, as always, we speak Russian, read Russian and write Russian in the lesson. Those are the easy numbers. Well, very quickly, let us count these lovely Russian pens. Хорошо. Well, I wish I had more so we could continue. But we have stopped at пять. What's the next number? Шесть. Next one? Семь. What comes after that? Восемь. Девять. Десять. Десять. Хорошо. So, let's take a quick look at this. Say this in your classrooms. And let's take a look at numbers six through ten. I want everybody to repeat after me now. Read these numbers in your classrooms. But this is what we call the easy numbers. Now let's work on the difficult ones. Let's try eleven through fifteen. And let's look at them. And now please read out loud in your classrooms. At this point, if you need more help with your numbers, take your textbooks and go to page 502. You will find the numbers on page 502. But let's proceed and we are moving on to numbers sixteen through twenty. Do you remember them? Six on top of ten. And let's take a look at these numbers. And you remember десять means ten. Six on top of ten. Семнадцать. Восемнадцать. Девятнадцать. Двадцать. The syllable that is presented in white on your screen is the one that attracts the accent. Шестнадцать. Семнадцать. Восемнадцать. Девятнадцать. Двадцать. Now I want you to say these words in your classrooms. Please say them out loud. Двадцать. Хорошо. Хорошо. Now at this point we really need to be on page 502 in your textbooks. We will continue practicing with numbers. We will be practicing with the difficult ones. Eleven through twenty. And I trust that at this point you will be able to identify the numbers that fall within this group very quickly. So let's take a look at our first group. How do we say this one? Let's move on to the middle number. And how about this one? Девятнадцать. Одиннадцать. Шестнадцать. Девятнадцать. Хорошо. Let's take a look at the next group. And how do we say this one? Notice that I put the И sound in the first syllable. Now everybody after me please. Хорошо. How about the middle one? Хорошо. Identify this one. We are still talking about this number group. I want you to say now the first number. With the И sound in the first syllable. Now say this one. With the А sound in the first syllable. Listen one more time how I pronounce these numbers. Now you do this. Хорошо. And let's take a look at one more group. One on top of ten. And finally this one. Eight on top of ten. Хорошо. So you are responsible for all the numbers from one through twentieth. And you can find them on page 502 in your Russian for Everybody textbook. And why do you think I made you work so hard on these numbers? Because today we will start talking about time. We'll start telling time the Russian way. What helps us to tell time? To find out what time it is? A watch or a clock. A time telling device. Час means hour. Часы – hours. And if it's a device that tells us hours, then we just call it hours. One more time. With the accent here on the second syllable. So what can we call this object? Хорошо. And what is this? Хорошо. So you know that часы tells time. So let's take a look at this word. Today we will start telling time on the hour. And the Russian word for hour, as I have already mentioned, is час. Хорошо. So how do we tell time in Russian? What do we do when it's one o'clock? Let's look at this clock. It shows that it's one o'clock now. So what do we say? One hour. That's all we do. Notice that we don't even need the word один. We don't need the number one here. Because час already means one hour. It's one o'clock now. Say it. And now let's take a look at this clock. What does it tell us? It's two o'clock. Two hours. So what do we say? We simply say Two hours. And notice what we did with the word час. We added the а ending on it. Сейчас два часа. And часа is not a plural form. It's a special form that goes with numbers. And we will be discussing that in every detail when you are in Russian 2 or maybe Russian 3. But in Russian 1 just go ahead and memorize it. That's another memory exercise. And believe me, it's going to make saying so much easier for you. Just go ahead and memorize it as it is. Now say it. Хорошо. So we already know how to say it's one o'clock, it's two o'clock. One o'clock. Two o'clock. Well let's look at what we do when it's three o'clock. Well let's look at six of them. At what? At one o'clock we say When it's two o'clock we say When it's three o'clock we simply say Three hours. And it's four o'clock. All we have to say is Notice that with numbers We use With the a ending on it. But now let's move on to five o'clock. And did you notice the change that occurred in the word that comes after five? Now we have the ending. Again, this is how the Russian language works with numbers. The change in the ending always occurs when you hit five. At six o'clock we say So while we still have this on the screen I want everybody to read after me. Хорошо. So remember that at one o'clock we say And you don't even need the number one. Then at two, three and four o'clock And we are using the word with the a ending. Then the change in the ending will occur when we hit five. And it will stay with that ending Through seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve o'clock. So let's take a look at this group. We are telling time from seven o'clock till twelve o'clock. So five, three, twelve. With those numbers we are using часов. So let's write this down. This is what you need to have in your notebooks. So we say And you remember this word simply means hour. So Go with Notice that these three numbers go with часа. And then you remember from our discussion that a change is going to occur when we come to five. And five through twelve will go with часов. With the or-where ending. You always need to remember this. And how it works with different numbers. Well to help you memorize this quickly let's do a series of exercises. Let's take a look at different times and you will identify them for me. Let's begin with two o'clock. And this is by the way how the Russian people would represent two o'clock. Notice that instead of using a colon we simply use a period right here. How can we say it's two o'clock? Let's move on to this. How can we identify this time? What does the next one say? Remember for one o'clock you don't even need the number. Let's move on to this. Сейчас четыре часа. And let's take a look at this one. What do we say? Сейчас пять часов. Ну, хорошо. Хорошо. And by the way, today we started working on урок номер семь. Урок номер семь. Мы уже изучаем урок номер семь. And in урок номер семь there is a special section that deals with telling time. That's where you can find all of this material that we have just discussed. Well, we know how to tell time on the hour. But how do we ask about time? What time is it? What time do you make? Literally this simply means which hour? Say that one more time. This is a very nice, very polite way of inquiring about time. You can proceed this question with Don't you happen to know? Or you can start with So this is the correct way to ask about time. Very often in everyday conversations we take liberties with the language and we say something that's not very correct grammatically but it's okay in an everyday conversation. So in Russia very often you will hear this question You will hear people using this question. It simply means what time is it? This is okay in an everyday casual conversation but it is considered to be grammatically incorrect. So never use it in writing. But again you will hear this in everyday conversations in everyday very casual conversations but it's considered to be grammatically incorrect so it is not used in written speech. And this phrase will also appear in several dialogues and exercises in our textbook. So that's why I want you to be aware of the second way of asking about time. But again the approved version is So let's take a look at And this is what you definitely need to know This is grammatically correct, it's good, it's polite That's what you always ought to say if you want to project as an educated person And let's take a look at a typical dialogue When you need to find out what time it is you ask Again you want to be polite You also want to attract that person's attention And then you say thank you And in response you will hear пожалуйста Now go ahead and read this dialogue in your classrooms So we are talking about time And when during the day are we most pressed for time? When may it cause a problem for us? In the morning And утром in the morning we can be in a hurry Let's learn this lovely verb To be in a hurry Or simply to hurry Let's take a look at this I am in a hurry You are in a hurry He is in a hurry We are in a hurry You are in a hurry They are in a hurry I am in a hurry You are in a hurry They are in a hurry From They are in a hurry I am in a hurry Look at this I am in a hurry Now when you are in a big hurry All you need to do is put the adverb очень between your pronoun and your verb Look at this Now I am really in a big hurry Now say it And why are you in such a hurry in the morning? Because you may be getting late And do you remember the verb which means to be late? That's a good old friend of ours Remember when Anna Petrovna is away from home They all get late in the morning So we will practice with спешить and опаздывать when we meet for class next time Спешить по-английски to hurry or to be in a hurry So right after this lesson I want you to take your additional exercises and you will practice with the new verb that we learned today At home take your textbooks and find урок номер 7 Lesson 7 Урок номер 7 On page 145 Complete exercise 7.4 You will be practicing with expressing time Also I want you to review notes taken during today's class And practice with telling time So every hour you can tell your parents what time it is in Russian Большое спасибо и до свидания!
