Random Russian Plans for 2026 (Unreleased Video) B1+
We recorded this at the end of 2025, talking honestly about what I gave up to keep that insane upload pace, and what my realistic plans for 2026 look like.
After the New Year break I felt much more optimistic, so I didn't want to start the year with a reflective, low-vibe video on YouTube. Instead, I’m sharing it here - FOR FREE, just like all my videos - with my most loyal audience who enjoys all kinds of Russian input (including the more vulnerable moments).
Thank you for being here 💛

I’m so happy you are going to care for yourself and have a reasonable plan for posting. Your supporters care about you too! You will be a better teacher as you keep studying language yourself, exercising, sleeping, eating well, and investing in your relationships. I’m so happy to have you back and look forward to the New Year and starting some cross talk with you too. I also love the podcast idea. Two a month sounds great! I have watched all of the August challenge, half of September, and about half of the 50 day. I am still watching them and when I’m done, I will go back to watch again as I know last month I understood less. I’m also going back and watching everything and will have a big party when I’m done 🎉I agree about the subtitles. I’m so happy you don’t have them. It is frustrating to have to cover them on other videos. Even though this is B1, I understood about 70% (I think I am A1/A2.) Please let us know if there are any additional things we can do to help.

Твой видео это очень очень важно меня. Я смотрю больше. Я смотрю каждый день 2 4 видео. Конечно я не могу говорю по-русски но я буду. Два лет назад я говорю да и нет и водка это всё. Сейчас я говорю только немного чуть-чуть. Только вашей полностью

I dictated the above without any help from apps or translation. It probably is gibberish....but it is only because of you that I can even do this very badly!
