What's up, guys?! Thank God, it's Friday or, probably. Saturday..
Depends on how effective I am in editing this video. I have no clear plan on what we are talking about today,
I haven't written you know the script
So let's talk about random stuff and I'll edit it somehow to make it.. whole.
First of all, I want to thank you, guys, for leaving your comments and saying "Hey Dima. Why don't we,
you know, have more videos in English?" I appreciate that and I think that's a good idea
I realized that I don't really have a lot of, you know, speaking practice, and
you can clearly hear that. I think in order to
understand the speech you have to listen a lot; in order to, you know, express yourself
you have to do that all the time! You have to speak.. to be able to speak you have to speak.
I don't speak a lot now
I speak English like once a week on Fridays when I have my skypes when I translate
But generally I don't really speak English. I read in English I write.. sometimes in English
I, you know, listen, but I don't speak and that's
Pathetic. I think that's pathetic. The thing is even though you might know English
Well, I think I know it pretty well. Well, yeah pretty well
You've got to have practice because if you have no practice for a pretty long time
you.. your skill kind of goes down.
You know, I realized that making those videos in English is as complicated and challenging
for me, as you know making videos in Russian two years ago. I was super stressed
I was super afraid of, you know, doing something wrong
well, maybe not as afraid as
You know
Let me rephrase maybe now. I'm not as afraid as, say, two years ago, but I don't really feel
Comfortable partly because I don't have all this practicing going on constantly
So I am I start thinking on, you know about having more practice. So that's gonna be one of the ways to have this
Practice. So thank you guys again for suggesting this practice. I think we will try and make those, you know, English
"podcasts" every Friday this month and see what.. what happens and
Probably I'll start planning things ahead because today I was just..
I know that I have to make I've gotta make video in English
Because I I promised and I'm trying to keep my promises
Starting this month. So, I thought "okay, what's gonna be the topic?" and I was..
"I don't know. I have no idea". I thought maybe we could, you know, just discuss the previous video
But I wasn't sure and it was getting late and it's about 7:00 pm already
And and I was like: "Okay. I failed in writing a script
I failed in creating a plan for this video
so the only thing I have time to do is just to set the camera set the lights at the microphone and just
shoot something". So, sorry, guys, if it looks and feels and sounds a little chaotic
cha-otic, I think that's the right way to pronounce that and.. and yeah, it's challenging. It's really challenging. It really is!
Talking about the previous video: I was super excited
reading all those comments you left!
I was you know, when I was making that video I was like "we-ell,
It's kind of complicated, maybe overcomplicated. The topic itself was complicated,
because it took me a couple of years to, you know, try and build all this, you know
structure.. to structure it all in my mind and then writing this script and then making this video and then
after I made this video, after I edited that and watched, that for. you know, dozen of times I was like
Well, it kind of feels complicated
So, I wasn't.. I wasn't..
I didn't think that the video will
Take off but it took off and you left a lot of comments
I think now it's about, you know, five hundred comments. Just.. just think about that!
five! hundred! of comments!
below a video that has I think less than ten thousand views
I think that's an absolute record on this channel. So, thank you guys. Thank you for participating
Thank you for you know trying to translate this
complicated test.. text, right :)
it WAS complicated and I made it even more complicated
when I translated that into Russian
So, good job, and I.. I thought you did a really good job
So I have to do another good job and read all that
I think we are going to have something like that
Maybe we'll have another you know video about how to translate
From English into Russian, from Russian into English and I'll try to, you know,
probably expand on this idea that you..
You don't need to and you shouldn't translate words
You have to translate thoughts, the whole idea, from one language to another
I'll think about that and probably will have another video like that. Probably some, you know translation masterclass
Taking into consideration that just today this morning I received an email
That I was really pleased about it was a feedback on my recent translation
There was a super complicated text, super professional
I mean it was WAY too complicated for me and it took me a month to translate this text
It was about thirty seven pages or something.
And.. and I.. I looked at this at the text and I was like: "oh, that's a bunch of crap"
I did a really terrible job because when you translate things you don't properly understand like 100%
Your translation tend to be, you know, low level
Not not really bright. So I thought the text was a disaster, but then I got this feedback and I read that
Uuh.. the editor actually loved this work of mine
This translation and she said that it was the first time she was really pleased. She was really enjoying
Reading someone's translation and editing that and I was super excited about that
professionally, right?.. The point is there's gonna be another video about translation because I feel like
Okay, so somebody admitted that I'm a decent translator.. interpreter, of course
So, I might probably make a masterclass or something about translations.
So, somebody in the comments asked me not to make those Friday videos longer than, say, 10 minutes
Because after 10 minutes of listening foreign language
if you're not prepared, your mind kind of shuts down
So I think that's it for today guys. That was a very random podcast
and I think it was a hundred percent podcast: just a guy speaking and you know talking
synonyms here about something and
Well, there's no strategy. It's.. it's random. So please leave the comments below guys on
Should we really?
Keep doing that. I think we
Anyways, we'll keep doing that for this month and we'll see your reaction. And, please, guys..
I.. I saw in the comments that there were like five people, I think, who offered me their help in, you know, editing subtitles.
So, guys, if you're there, please help me create subtitles for this video
I will share a link to the page where you can create those subtitles for this video
and if you do that, I will be
Super grateful to you. I will really appreciate that
So the link is gonna be somewhere below
Thanks for watching guys, and I.. I hope you enjoyed me speaking English with you. Have a nice weekend guys
I'm not gonna have any days out this week
so, again, Friday, Saturday, it doesn't matter, but I hope you will.. So, see you again, guys, on Monday, hopefully and.. Bye :)
