[Russian] - Всем привет! [Hi ever [English]
and welcome back to another Tip Thursday with me Conor Clyne this is
the tsar experience and today I'm talking to you from the Opera House in Odessa
Ukraine and in today's video I'm going to be reviewing italki which is a
service that I've used so much over the last few years to help me learn
languages. It's an online marketplace for language tutors I'm really excited to go
through with you today so cue the intro!
So my channel here on YouTube I've reviewed many many software products
that help you to learn languages and some of them really great but at the end
of day there's no real substitute in learning a language then contact with
real human beings native speakers of the language that's one of the reasons why I
have always gone and hired a tutor when I'm learning a new language or trying to
improve a language that I already speak to a certain level and let me give you
example like when I was learning Portuguese I wanted to learn Brazilian
Portuguese so I hired a teacher using italki in order to find them and we
had our classes over Skype twice a week two hours 2 one hour
classes a week and in about two years I was actually able to go to Brazil have a job
interview as a lawyer in Portuguese entirely in Portuguese that's how much
it helped me so you can go out there and you have all these different teachers
like you have professional teachers you have people who just are conversation
partners like language partners that you're actually free and then you have
like informal teachers or unqualified teachers who don't have maybe
professional qualifications but some of those people are really really great now
I'm not necessarily so concerned about the professional qualifications when I'm
looking for a tutor I'm actually more interested in is this person interesting
to speak to every day when I come here and have my class rather than do they
have a certain qualifications that's something I definitely advise you find
the right tutor for you!
[Russian] - Did you know that I might go to Minsk?
- When Liza? That would be cool!
I'm going to Minsk because I need to go to the embassy.
- Ok. Good.
- I think soon. I don't know, maybe in 2 weeks.
- In 2 weeks, I will still be there!
[English] So in terms of price is definitely going to be cheaper in
general than if you have a tutor come to your place or actually you go to meet
them in person in the city or in I would think it's probably going to be about
half the price that really depends on the language you're learning and also
how much in demand that particular teacher that you want to hire is so one
of the things that I recommend that you do do in terms of learning a language for
travel and especially if you're gonna come to Eastern Europe is role plays
with the tutor that you use via italki because that's a great way to put
yourself in that stressful situation before you arrive to the country itself
and that means that you're gonna react by default when speaking the language a
lot better than if you're unprepared so for example say you're going to travel
to Russia and you know that you're gonna fly to Moscow then role playing
scenarios when you're in the airport that you need to take a public transport
into the city that you need to go to seeing museums if you're planning to go
to the Kremlin for example and other sightseeing places obviously ordering in
a restaurant is going to be important as you're all gonna have to do that maybe
dating and chatting to girls that's also something that you should practice
beforehand with your tutor in a roleplay situation so that when you're under that
stress then you're in real life because you gonna have a lot of things going on
around you they're gonna be new when you're traveling you're gonna be able to
just react by default with the right words and with confidence as well in
fact in terms of dating I'm actually working on a new product myself so there is gonna
be a link below in the description to this video you should go there if you're
interested in learning the Russian language in particular you can go there
and check that out I'm gonna have a course that's gonna allow you to really
boost your Russian and get it ready for traveling on a trip in one month we'll
also deal with all those things like dating so if that's something you're interested in
then definitely go check it out they're working on that and
there's a link below that's going to bring you to the page and give you more details so there
you have it that's my review italki that's how I hope you learned so many
languages especially Russian and Ukrainian so if you've used italki
