Доброе Утро - Good Morning in Russian

How to Think in Russian

These days, I am fluent in common everyday Russian of daily life. I no longer need to translate the most common phrases during my average day. It is absolutely possible, and it isn't complicated, that you too will learn how to think in Russian. There aren't any complicated steps. You simply need a little meaningful repetition, and some regular practice.

The trick is as simple as using phrases regularly in a meaningful way until they become a script in your brain.

This technique is not traditional rote memorization. For instance, one of the first phrases that you're likely to learn in Russian is "доброе утро". If you use "доброе утро" in the morning regularly to greet someone online or in person, it won't be long before it's a script in your brain. It won't be long before you can both say and type this greeting without any need for translation.

By the way, if you don't have an online friend that you chat with, you can greet yourself aloud each morning. On social media, you can also just send out a greeting for the world.

Below you will find a list of Russian greetings and phrases for "good morning". I suggest that you can search for some of these terms on YouTube or Yandex, and find cute videos and photos to share.

My Favorite Things

Thirteen of My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens.... I love watching and singing along to a great musical. When I was a kid I used to run about singing like life was a musical. People would ask me what I was singing, but I was just making it up as I went. And I love dancing. I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing. I love creating stories and characters. Apparently e
