[Assistant] He turned the pages of the giant book reading carefully. Finally, he closed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The beast stared hard at the two Wukongs. Finally, it spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Black Wind King has a new robe that is a Buddhist treasure. And I hope he likes the pill I made for him. It will make him live forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I brought you a gift to celebrate your new Buddhist treasure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made it just for you. It will make you live forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to find a village or a monastery before dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we are not. We are Danish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay Wukong, I will give you until the end of the day to fix my ginseng tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can't, the Tang Monk goes into the frying pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to share some ginseng fruit with everyone here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lesson 31 Where's Sally?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he is. He's climbing the tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dog's in the garden too. It's running across the grass. It's running after a cat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the headlines for today, and now for the International Weather Report with Mike Sanderson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the headlines for today and now for the International Weather Report with Mike Sanderson. Thank you Bob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the headlines for today, and now for the International Weather Report with Mike Sanderson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guan Yin frowned. It's wrong to hurt people, Wukong. You know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hurt demons all the time, said Wukong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Demons are evil, and you're doing a good thing when you get rid of them. But you must not hurt people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will still help the Tang Monk reach the Western Paradise. He will need your help soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to keep moving. I'm eager to reach the western paradise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fine to hurt demons, but you must not hurt people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're still evil, Wukong. I can't bring you to the western paradise. You must leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or I'll recite the tight headband spell until your head explodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What colours your new dress? It's green. Come upstairs and see it. Thank you. Look, here it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a nice dress. It's very smart. My hat's new too. What color is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a lovely hat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, and on this occasion we are going to talk about Chinese food, specifically stir fry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I had the best supper last night. My wife made a stir fry and it was amazing. I love stir fry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, soy sauce, and it's this black sauce, right? And it's made- Very salty. Very salty, and it's made from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and it's very, very common to use it with Chinese dishes especially. It's very, uhm, related. You usually have sushi with soy sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and uh, the other sauce that's not very common in, in our countries is oyster sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so it's part of the ingredients of Chinese food. It's really good. It smells terrible. It's stinky. But when you mix it with food and you cook it, it smells, it adds a very, very good flavor. Absolutely. Alright, so that's the sauces. Now, apart from sauces, we have some vegetables and some of those are bean sprouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so they're like little straws with a little green point at the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now if you're cooking stir fry, what you need is the correct tools, and the main tool that you need is a wok.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and it's, it has, it's not like the other pans where it's, it has a big flat part. It's very, very round all over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so that's a wok. And, well, the guy compared his stir-fry to a fajita. Now, fajita, that's uh, that's not Chinese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that, that's a fajita. It's kind of, you've probably seen it, a fajita or a, or maybe what's commonly known as well as a burrito.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which actually is also an American invention. I don't think that exists in Mexico.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so that's what we have for you on Language Takeaway. Why don't we go back to our dialogue, listen to it again, and we'll be back shortly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I had the best supper last night. My wife made a stir fry and it was amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you can keep the vegetables, I'll take the meat. The stir fry my wife made was really hearty, with chunks of beef and slivers of bell pepper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back, so now I think we should take a look at some of those phrases that were used in this dialogue in Fluency Builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so throw in some vegetables, or throw in some onion and garlic, and that means to just put it into the pan, put it into the pot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, add some onion. So we throw in all these ingredients and it sounds so delicious that the guy says, I would die for a plate of stir-fry right about now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and well the guy obviously didn't really like what he was talking about and how he cooked this stir-fry and he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, a disgrace, a disgrace. So the word disgrace means that something is bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, a disgrace. Very good. A strong phrase, and you can use it if you ever want to talk about someone or something in this way. But remember, it is pretty strong, right? If you say somebody's a disgrace, it's pretty insulting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so why don't we listen to our dialogue for one last time and we'll be back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I had the best supper last night. My wife made a stir-fry and it was amazing. I love stir-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, uh, talking about Chinese food, there are a lot of American inventions around, uh, around Chinese food as well, not only Mexican food. For example, it's very popular, this dish, chop suey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, well, this dish is basically that, right? It's just a lot of meat, meat chunks mixed with some vegetables and you have some chop suey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so if you have any other, uhm, information about food, or we're always glad to hear it. It's cause we're always hungry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, what are you doing? You can't just kiss me then go for second base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, what are you doing? You can't just kiss me then go for second base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, what are you doing? You can't just kiss me then go for second base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lesson 25. Mrs Smith's kitchen. Mrs Smith's kitchen is small. There is a refrigerator in the kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The refrigerator is white It is on the right


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is an electric cooker in the kitchen The cooker is blue. It is on the left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a table in the middle of the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a bottle on the table The bottle is empty


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a cup on the table too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me that fan right now! Yelled Wukong. Or I'll destroy the rest of your mountain!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod, my name is Marco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, and this lesson today is advanced, so it might be a little bit hard. And, uh, we're gonna be taking a look at not only some vocabulary related to your home or decorations and stuff, but also how to treat your loved one in a nice way or little, uh, what do you call them, nicknames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, let's get straight to it. You have saved up your money for years and are now ready to build your dream home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, I am just going to get some coffee while you two keep discussing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back. So apparently the couple can't seem to agree. He wants something, uh, different than what she does. And in the end, I think they were a little bit irritated with each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, not me, just any guy. Just, you want to decorate the house in any way you want, fine, but just give us one room, you know, like five meters by five meters where we can put anything we want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I don't like that. I'm into minimal. Alright, minimalist. Anyways, we have minimal landscaping, and well he's talking about his patio, and an old fashioned grill, and he said quaint lawn furniture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's looking for some lawn furniture that's not like plastic or new, it's more like old fashioned, maybe wood, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he's also talking about the, uhm, the house, and he wants, well, a two-carb carport, pastel siding, and a gable roof, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, we know what a roof is, but what is a gable roof?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's a white picket fence. You'll hear it all the time. Usually in movies or in TV shows, they talk about having their own little house with their dog and a white picket fence. Exactly. Two kids, two cars. And a white picket fence. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now the woman argued that she wanted something a little bit more modern, and uh, well the guy said, you know what, that's uhm, it's just wasted space, and those types of homes are just a fad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, I think for a while, remember those shoes that used to have little red lights in the back in the heel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LA lights. LA lights. Those were a fad. It was really popular for like a year. Everyone had them, everyone wore them, and then they just went away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he called her house a fad, and she says, well, what about your house? All this vintage furniture. What's vintage?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's popular now. Right, they're popular now. Or people like to buy them now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so those are the words that we have for today on Language Takeaway. Why don't we move on now to some pet names or some sweet ways that you can call your loved ones on Fluency Builder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It almost seems like they're newlyweds, but apparently they've been saving up their entire life, so maybe they're just one of those, uh, really loving couples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sweetums. Sweetums. So you can say sweetie or sweetums. Exactly. And that's a nice way of saying something. Or you can go sweetie pie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, let's get straight to it. You have saved up your money for years and are now ready to build your dream home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, I am just going to get some coffee while you two keep discussing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're back. So uhm, apart from this, uh, decorations and stuff, are you, do you agree with the vintage home, the more like, uh, minimalist thing, or do you like the open concept one, the bigger one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually completely different because I do like this open concept. I like those houses that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the way they look inside as well as outside when they're kind of squared, big windows, clean lines. Uhm, inside is like, for example in the kitchen you have polished aluminum or polished steel furniture in the kitchen. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the west, chapter 35, a visit to the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the monster. He stamped his foot. Then he sighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monster thought for a minute. Finally he had a plan. He went to the princess's room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before the princess could say another word, the monster left the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie ran back to the precious image kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told the king that he and Wu Jing couldn't save Princess Hundred Flowers. The pig hung his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the messenger. The king was confused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The young man narrowed his eyes at the Tang monk and pointed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Cried the Tang Monk. The King frowned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the young man. He pointed at the monk again and recited a spell. Life sparkled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now a tiger sat in the Tang monk's spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cried Bajay. Shhh, said the horse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asked Baje. The horse thought for a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's bad enough that there are dangers along the journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to fry these criminals. Let's start with Sun Wukong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He made that statue look like himself! That rotten monkey!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's bad enough that Sun Wukong wanted to escape. But did he really have to break my frying pan too? He stamped his foot. Bring out another frying pan!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Roger. Who is this? Do you have a new girlfriend? She's pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Illustrated by Joe Bode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sky is falling, says Rabbit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mouse runs to tell wise old owl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not, says wise old owl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 32, Lady White Bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using his magic sight, Wukong saw a peach orchard thousands of miles away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon after the monkey had left, a young woman came down the road. She held out a bowl. Are you the Tang monk? She asked. I have food for you. Bajie reached for the bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He dropped all the peaches and pulled out his iron bar. Wham! He struck at the young woman. But before he hit her she disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See? He held up the bowl, which was filled with worms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's ridiculous, said Wukong. I- Gah! Ha ha ha ha!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, an old woman came down the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the Tang Monk. Bajie stepped forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he took out his iron bar and swung. But again, he missed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, an old man came down the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the Tang Monk. Master. Said the Monkey. I just saved your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A piece of cheese, a loaf of bread, a bar of soap, a bar of chocolate, a bottle of milk, a pound of sugar, half a pound of coffee, a quarter of a pound of tea and a tin of tobacco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put it in the book while I talked to her, then I forgot the money when we left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there are seven of course. Seven one thousand NT bills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's hike on the easy trails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we'll drive about 300 meters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the way back, we'll stop at the bridge of motherly devotion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what you mean. Maybe Brazil would be nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sent them pictures from our trip. I just hoped they'd like them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's great you can say that. I know I'd be upset if I were you. I was yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brothers and sisters often have a love-hate relationship. When you get older, your relationship will get better. So maybe when I'm 90, we'll get along? I know how you feel. When I was your age, I fought with my sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I gave him my notice. He was really surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure he does. You're a good photographer. Thanks, but there are other good photographers


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. It's quiet. Jeff took Mia to the doctor. He's not in the office this afternoon. Is Mia okay? Yes. It's just her regular checkup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't use my credit card. It has my signature on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmm, a debit card is a better choice for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're still young. This is a great time to learn how to manage your money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I keep all my treasures in my wallet, my money, my credit cards, and my little sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am. No you are not. Yesterday you told us the weather was bad. I was k-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm a salesman, and I have something just for you. Really? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone needs an umbrella. And this is a very special one. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about a thermometer? A thermometer? You can see the temperature every day!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's for Small Town's tricycle race. This year, Ben and I are in the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's no fun. Ben is building a tricycle. I can build one too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, not that long. The work was pretty easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at these screws. The work is very detailed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, I'm going to start cooking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sarah and I did a wonderful job together. Okay, Sarah did most of the work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a better idea. I'll glue candies all over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For my prize, I get a free DIY class. I can pick the class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's Sarah pick because she did the most work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you asked to try some. It's just flour and water. It won't hurt you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll see. Ben, can you get that newspaper? Put it on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, mix the newspaper pieces and the paste together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take the wet pieces of paper and put them on your box. Or your bottle or balloon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You say that now. Wait until the end of the week. Ben, stop. Let her be excited. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry. So, Sarah, is your son hungry? I can cook dinner for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love spring! Flowers are beautiful! The birds!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but the weather is getting warmer. No more winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can try a different medicine. I'll ask my mom about it. She used to have allergies too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay Simon, I have something here. It might help your allergies. Close your eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, open your mouth. Try this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's a great holiday. I just remembered something. I'm cooking the Easter breakfast at church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's wrong? I am supposed to boil 200 eggs. And Sarah is supposed to help decorate them. So? She doesn't know yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, they're fun. Sarah really liked those when she was younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, since it's been quite a few weeks, it sounds like rap. Wop sound. Is it like echo or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, man. So yeah, I've been a bit busy the past few weeks and haven't been able to make any videos. So I was just thinking maybe we can hang out and make a new thing, the prompt from Discord, the Omelette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we have been modeling hard surfaces prompt for quite a few weeks now, but this time I thought we could do something more organic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so toggle window first screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let me just put the streaming software aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's just bring the reference. So the day I start


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like mouse is not working, mic is not working, this and that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How expensive mouse I get, it only lasts for me like 6 or 7 months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's just put it here. I'll let for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's go to cycles, select a GPU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, let's get the things out of the way, which we don't need. Clean it up a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They promised so many clicks, this mouse can handle, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I play League of Legends a lot, maybe, and in that game it's mostly right click. It's not even first person shooter. So I don't know, uh, maybe I need to change my habits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first thing I was thinking, uh, okay, let me just put the Discord link in the chat. So any of you who are not familiar with what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So not sure, but I'm just going to keep it about 30 centimeters. Maybe it's the scale chart is. I don't want to keep it too small. Maybe in case if I have to simulate some particles or anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If any of you are looking forward to future tutorials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's set up a camera at least to get the basic things out of the way. So it seems like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My centimeter shot is out of sync. So let's select the camera and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seems like we have different bread sizes. So 20 is fine, right? If it's 18, 12. So by going 20, we are not going way off the chart or anything. It's not like I have 4 meter bread. So it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so this is the AI generated image. This, this I found online in one of the community. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I was thinking of a reference composition and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this seems like mashed, I don't know, something. If you guys have any clue what this is, just let me know. Alright. So we are going to try and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is going to be, I mean, seems impossible to me to bring this kind of quality. I mean, it's a, it's, it's similar to SLR quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we can get the bread part, uh, that seems easy. The floor and these pieces, uh, I think these are manageable as well. Yeah, so avocado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think with displacement and the whole noise thing, we can figure this thing out. The main thing which I was thinking is difficult is this part. So all that blending and everything is going on here. So this is the critical part, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for some reason, I think, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is still manageable if we, if we can make the upper layer have some sort of transparency where the oak is and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at this moment, we are not really modeling anything, but we are just going to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some sort of music going on in the background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are my comments visible? Yes, Hardik, your comment is visible. So the chat is on slow mode, I guess. So you'll have to wait a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also I don't know how far I'm going to be able to push this in quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And start modeling it. Okay, it doesn't have to be this complex. It could be just flat egg with just the yolk and or just the omelet with one texture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not every time I do this, but mostly in personal projects, I try to run things parallelly. It's like, uh, have some sort of basic light setup and, uh, camera so that whatever I'm making, I have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, not going to rush it. This is going to be like a hangout stream for me. And I'm just trying to channel my energies back into this channel. All the client work and all the side projects just keep driving me away. And it's kind of stressful for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But livestreaming seems like a good thing to engage back with you guys on an occasional basis. And also, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so in next week, I think I'll be able to wrap up my ongoing project. So yesterday I got approval on whatever I was doing, making an ident for a channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so it's quite an exciting project. Not the best one, but it's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case, this helps, right? So just start with the basics, things which are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, a little success on every stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't throw away my old computers. I have this emotional attachment to every workstation I make. So, yeah, and my wife hates it. She's like, why you not throwing away or selling your old computers? I mean, there are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember, uh, the first two computers. First, second, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So me and my father, we, we used to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean go together and buy every part of the computer and just wait for it to assemble. So yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, PC, for PC you'll have to, I mean, for first PC you'll have to do Struggle. I mean, that's with everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's not, it's not just PC, but you are getting into animation, you have to, you have to convince your parents, you have to convince them to buy PC, send you to college, convince them that there is a good career in this. It's not just about PC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't frustrate you with performance. So yeah, I think I have scrolled this enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything beyond 80,000 for, for a beginner, if you are into 3D, is a good investment. If you can't, then, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think 70, 80 is a good start, but that is going to be a really basic configuration for you. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or what you can do is, uh, just invest in a good graphic card and CPU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anything about Cosmet, uh, all that jazzed up, you don't really need to, uh, buy anything which is not really going to help you at the beginner stage. So when you're buying a workstation, I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should focus on your first and second year. It's like in the very first year, you'll be just modeling basic things. And the second year, yeah, slightly advanced, but nothing like really high poly or 16K textures. Nothing like that is going to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you just, uh, buy something which can handle maybe one character, 4k texture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe 2K textures or something. So 16GB RAM is fine if you like really struggling with the budget. Graphic card 3060 is fine for a starter build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can begin with at least i7. i7, i5. i5 is slightly lower configuration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I7 is fine. Okay, so you can cut down on those faster SSD and everything. Just buy a basic hard disk because unless you are going to do some high-end simulation or editing in the very first year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A good reference, uh, for a basic setup, like at least how the elements are blending together, what are the colors, what is the form of it and everything. Lighting, camera angle, all that you can, uh, you can decide in 3D, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this thing, uh, I think now that we have geometry nodes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can do this with modifier, with sculpting, with displacement, with many other ways. We can simply put one displacement map and that should be able to create this sort of effect. Not exactly, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the weather here is like really hot now and I thought maybe


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just going to subtract this 0.5. So it's just a thing with a blender, with blender, uh, you'll have to subtract 0.5 for it to get back to the, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The default surface level. Details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And pull a few things in and out, like this, with grab brush, G4 grab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you press shift, this becomes a smooth brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or in edit mode, you can just turn this thing on, the proportional editing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for the discord link, check the pinned comment or go to the about section of the channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is going to be maybe stream two, three parts or something, but let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just experimenting here. Let's see if there's something good that can turn out from this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And second displacement for these smaller waves, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is for the final waves. We'll use this later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we have some sort of bigger waves here now. And on top of this we can, uh, sorry, 2D, 3D, 4D.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, these shapes I was talking about. We have these bigger shapes now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not going to try and match exact, exactly to this. So I'm just going to keep it light and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really get really ambitious on this one. And then second layer could be the final one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for some reason, I think I like this Musgrave texture thing going on here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm going to use the same thing and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I think once we finish modeling this, we should sculpt a few of these parts later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like I said, uh, just slowly building up on this and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, sooo, we're just searching for some stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So even though we kind of can get similar look with the shaders and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I think in some ways, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So on my stylus preview, my, my Cintiq I'm using for chat preview. What should I do? I can switch this display to Cintiq and maybe sculpt or I should feel the paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This OBS thing, the interface is so bad. I can't really figure out how to live stream half the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not that geometry nodes is for big projects, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can procedurally make it, so if later on you, you just want to make, maybe change the patches to slightly more bigger, you want to have more, uh, what do you say, these rough edges on the left or right, you can just scroll these numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the, but the weaker side is that you can't have exact control that you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with sculpting, like if you want to put a stroke here, you can do that here. But with geometry nodes, you can procedurally make things appear similar, but not exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pinch the edges, that's right. That's right, that's the kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I was thinking, Greece, flying, bench, where's the bench?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also like this, this, uh, multi-plane scrape brush. It's like this. I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing this on livestream might be difficult. Okay, it's really difficult. You know, when you're doing something, the whole thing you're trying to figure out and it's not working out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I haven't finished my Dark Souls thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the render is going on, the audio is kind of going to get messed up. So what I do is, uh, I stop the render preview. That's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on. I'll tell you. Let me just recall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there was a place where there is power, so they have this fireball on top of the tower. So if you look at the fireball, it's going to build up something in your eyes, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it, I mean, you're dead. You can't walk, you can't look at the tower. That's, I mean, that's the scariest part. I need to figure that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we have basic, uh, this filling, uh, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be working more on this and then we have basic shape of the bread. Now we need some, some basic stuff going on here and yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I can bring some texture in geometry nodes in the corners and then combine that with some gradient simple blend so that the texture only shows up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't say it's the hardest part, but this creating the crispy side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll do some basic modeling here for now today. We might won't be able to finish it. Like I said. But let's just get the basics right. Okay. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do this thing so that we have all the chords and now a much better bass. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually no, if you have a backup enabled for Blender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, it does, uh, from here you can recover, recover last session. Or you have auto save copies. This like, this omelet file was saved on 2243. So three minutes ago. So you have backup. And these few auto versions. So you can increase number of backups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So don't worry, your work is, I mean, you just need to be a bit careful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, uh, proportional editing, let's wrap this up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can actually do cloud simulation, that's the easy one, but I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This thing is going to crash, probably. Single sided, outer, thickness, thickness outer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have omelette dropping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do the pressure thing for it to have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that both sides don't, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he removed the collision from, uh, avocado. Shared smooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, look at what you can't achieve. I mean, if you look at this image and you say, I mean, I'm not able to do this. I mean, don't look at that. Just look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at what you have done here. You have a bread of slice, slice of bread, and some stuffing going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a cloth simulated super high tech, something which only people learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then use geometry proximity to make outer, I mean, some gradient going on here and use the outer values and use some sort of distortion in, uh, in that attribute. But the thing is music is really loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's how it should be. You shouldn't be intimidated by, I mean, once you know the basics, rest everything is like just about spending more times, adding more details. It's like if you know how to climb four stories, you can climb 70 story. I mean building. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now there are two ways we can make, try and make this with geometry nodes. But honestly, I think, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much more easier and, uh, easier for beginners if you are watching this and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So maybe not this realistic, but on this live stream and the next one, we might be able to achieve at least 50% of it. Okay. My, my hope, my aim is only the 50% of realism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you take a different approach on this, maybe like just take the textures and dump it on top of surfaces, then this is going to be much simpler. There's no one way of doing this. There are many ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Painting, just sculpting a basic, uh, surface just to make a sort of a basic visualization and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I said, this is a raw stream. I'm not prepared at all for this. I haven't done this before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So whatever comes out of it is going to be like no filters sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some reason, I'm not able to see my UV here. And, uh, I'm pretty sure there's a really stupid reason for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the top side. So I'm painting at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, bro. Whatever was visible here, that is gone as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I need to disable shadow for this omelette so that it shows up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just going to do the basics here and we later figure this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like, just the basic stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. So yeah, so this qualifies to enter the discord prompt week. So that's fine. That's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean we can slap realistic textures on top of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's not fun. Actually, uh, there is no practice in that. So as much as we can practice the node groups, the shading, the manual modeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's beneficial for us. That's the whole point of this. Otherwise, what's the point of, uh, just making a sphere and then slapping one texture on? Then you haven't done much work in that, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I need to remove texture from this and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, looking at this omelette, I kind of got hungry and I still need to do my dinner. So let's continue this tomorrow and, uh, I hope to see all of you plus more and tomorrow, I think, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeah, so let's continue this tomorrow and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we have all the basic things going on and I sort of see that the image is coming together, right? Now all we need to do is commit more to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, at least we have proof checked that this thing is going to work out. We have the basics, how the transparency is going to work out, how the filling, the basic bread sculpting, this and that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's going to be better than this. Okay. So this is, let's say just 10 or 15%. Tomorrow we are going to make more progress on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Top Channel 101 and, uh, really appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so anything you see that is, uh, like a scattered on top of this, for that we can use geometry nodes and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's do this tomorrow. Okay, so today was my first day on this and I was kind of a bit not sure whether or not I can do this. So I'm starting to feel confident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and I'm sure if you're following along and if you are on Discord, you are making your version of Omnig. Okay, I'll be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to see what you guys are making. So let me just add discord screen here. Here's the discord. Just a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, here on this Discord channel, you see these activities. Can you guys see it? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right here in activities, you can see we have been doing these prompt things for quite some time now about, uh, since January.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there was a older channel, prompt modeling, which was like a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, one thing which was not categorized. So you can access this for the previous entries by all the contributors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So everyone have been, uh, been quite active here. So, but this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For every prompt, I have this separate post. Now, so you need to click here and, uh, here. And whatever you guys are making, just share here. And, uh, not just the final result, but the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, hold on, let me just bring back Discord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People can call the radio station, then they answer questions about the cub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Simon calls every game. He doesn't win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have any favorite players. I don't know any of the players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simon, I love you, but I don't really want to go to the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you should take better care of your own skin. How can I do that? Well, I learned about skin as a teenager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My skin was much worse than yours. It was? Yes, but I took good care of it and it got better. How?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I washed with special soap, and when I washed, I was gentle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sarah was already embarrassed about her face. Now she feels worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could get some medicine for your face, Sarah. That really helped me. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ben? What are you doing here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're in my house. And you're watching my television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they almost over? My favorite show is on soon!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See his latest movie? No idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it got really good reviews. Simon and I saw it together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know Simon. He likes movies about sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too. Being a movie star would be fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's look at a paper and see what movies are playing at Fat Bob's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel like an action movie tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two free movie rentals at Fanny's Films. Thanks Max.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Mr. and Mrs. Lewis came into the diner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I explained to Mr. Lewis very calmly, Ben keeps cockroaches as pets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's some tea, Sarah. Thanks. I need some. Did you ever study abroad, Renee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I really wanted to, but the programs are too expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. This school year abroad program costs more than $37,000. Wow. Where do you want to go? I want to go to Italy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one isn't too expensive. It's called High School in Italy. Why don't you apply for it? I'm going to. Students usually live with a host family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] High school in Italy sounds good. And the application isn't too long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The essay and a one hundred dollar application fee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are the classes taught in Italian or English?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some are in Italian and some are in English. Wow! You'll have to learn Italian fast!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mean if I go, and I would have to focus on studying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I have school during the day and then Betty's birthday party is at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, do you want to take two cars or one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that sounds great. I'm really looking forward to this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Ben! What are you doing here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's nice. I have a package for Max.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I need Max's signature. Wow, I'm really hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes you are. The sun isn't good for your skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you do, but the sun can hurt your skin!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't touch me! See? Now get out of the sun!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Favorite customer, I know. You say that all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a big suitcase. What are you selling today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How fun. Someday I'll go on a long plane trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to see it. Send me a postcard of it, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great! Then I can plan my own trip to Paris!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he's a good director. I like his movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Sarah, do you need to mail something? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to ask you about my newspaper article. Ah, you need your editor. Let me put on my editor's hat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you might have some wisdom to share with our readers. What kind of wisdom? Talk about what to do when you are embarrassed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did you say? Bellissimo. It means very beautiful in Italian. Are you calling me beautiful? You are beautiful and Italy is beautiful. I'm very excited for you. What a great opportunity. Thanks, buddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're so lucky. When you go abroad, you can travel to different cities and try different foods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I'm very excited. I'm thinking about getting engaged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the Daoist brought the rain, we became close friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, Sun Wukong can fight the Daoist in private! Where can we find the prince?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the one royal treasure I still have. When my son sees it, he'll know you're telling the truth!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lesson 57. An unusual day. It is eight o'clock. The children go to school by car every day. But today, they're going to school on foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs Sawyer usually stays at home in the morning, but this morning she is going to the shops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs Sawyer usually drinks tea in the living room, but this afternoon she is drinking tea in the garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is six o'clock. In the evening, the children usually do their homework, but this evening they are not doing their homework. At the moment, they are playing in the garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Sawyer usually reads his newspaper at night, but he's not reading his newspaper tonight. At the moment, he's reading an interesting book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. Today was just one of those days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I had food in my hand. I spilled food on a customer. I felt so embarrassed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And guess who the customer was? Mrs. Lewis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go for a walk outside underneath the trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go for a walk. Let's take a walk outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's pick some blackberries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's pick seven blackberries. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Wash them up. Now let's eat them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's pick some raspberries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's eat them. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. That was delicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is the beehive, but where are all the bees? Hiding away where nobody sees. Here they come flying out of their hive. One, two, three, four, five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is the beehive, but where are all the bees? Hiding away where nobody sees. Here they come flying out of their hive. One, two, three, four, five.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you ready to pop some bubbles? First, we have to make them. Ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, two, three, blow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No more bubbles. Let's blow one more giant bubble. Ready? One, two, three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I write it when I go to school or when I want to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I pedal all around the town. I pedal round and round and round.

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 89, Many Eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tang monk's head bobbed forward and his teacup dropped from his hand. And then thump! The monk toppled to the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong jumped to his feet and pulled out his iron bar. The priest backed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, a door burst open, and the three women ran into the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He jumped up, did a flip in the air and landed directly behind the women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both women were gone. In their places lay dead spiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The priest opened his robe, revealing a body covered in eyes. Suddenly, blinding light shot from the many eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The light is too bright, cried the monkey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He covered his own eyes and ran all over the room. But he couldn't escape the blinding light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using his claws, he tunneled until he was sure he was far from the abbey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Wukong popped up out of the ground, he turned back into himself. Bright light was shining from the abbey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even from far away the light burned the monkey's eyes. Wukong turned away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sobbed and sobbed until he heard a voice say, Don't cry, Wukong. The monkey looked up. A tall woman was standing over him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the sound thundered in the sky and the beams of light vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong and Prolambra returned to the abbey. The priest lay shaking on the floor. All of his eyes were squeezed shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Set the Tang monk one day. Bajie snorted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Max comes home from work. He sees Sarah and talks to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sarah doesn't say anything to Max. She is looking at their family photos. Sarah is sad. Max looks at Sarah. He sits down next to her. Max understands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sarah really misses their parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Betty is in the post office. She is playing with a dog. When she hears someone, she takes the dog to the back. Hugh comes in and looks for Betty. She comes back out. Hugh takes a brush out of his bag. He wants Betty to buy it. She looks at it, but she doesn't want to buy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You hear something. He asks Betty about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Renee is working in the diner. She is very busy and tired. Max is not there. Renee calls him on the phone. He doesn't answer. Some customers leave. Renee looks at their dirty plates and cups. She takes them into the kitchen. Ben comes in and sits down. Renee comes back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She walks over to Ben. Hey Renee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Betty is working in the post office. Simon walks in. Betty says hi. Simon gives some letters to Betty. Then he goes to his mailbox. There is no mail for Simon. Simon closes his mailbox. Then he looks around for some cards. But he doesn't see any cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simon and Renee are outside Max and Sarah's house. Simon is setting up a telescope.

[Assistant] He points the telescope to the sky. Then he looks into the telescope. He moves the telescope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he tells Renee to look inside the telescope. Renee looks in and smiles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I see. How many aunts and uncles do you have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Sarah, I have some new pets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, my pets are fun. I can play with them all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard a noise in the back. Is someone back there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great job, Teddy! You just need one more thing. What's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I like his costume. Why is he wearing it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My new pets are small. Do you want to see them, Renee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, but I can give him a ride on my motorcycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why didn't you pick me up from work? Oh no! I forgot. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Max, what does this sign mean? That's a do not enter sign. I should make you a sign. What kind of sign?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep your hands on the steering wheel. Keep your eyes on the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be careful at all times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is taking her road test today and I really want to know if she passed. Do you think she passed? I hope so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are nice houses in small town. Look in the newspaper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hunting for an apartment. Do you want to live in small town? No, but Olga does. Olga wants to live here? Why? She can get a job here. Doing what? A company here does a lot of business with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What kind of apartment does she want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One that's not too big, but not too small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure, but I'm looking at two-bedroom apartments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you talk to a real estate agent? Yes. She showed me some apartments today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She doesn't want to pay more than $800 a month for rent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, if I can find one. Will she have a car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I need some cards. Wonderful!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard you guys talking. Rene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play your song. I want to hear it. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't like you. How did you miss the deadline?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, learn from your mistake. Next time, write things down. Make a list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, Simon, maybe you can use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ben wants a new car. But, I don't make enough money at work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So make a plan, Ben. Then you can reach your goal. What's the difference between a goal and a plan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how can you get it? That's your plan. Oh. Ben, write down your goals and plans right now. No. Why not? We can help you. I don't like plans. I don't follow them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, alright, I can try. Okay, I have my plans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fifteen million degrees? That's hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have eight planets, aren't there nine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great! I'm selling museum tickets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, Master, said Wukong. I'm great at defeating demons. This won't take long. I hope they have food at the palace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greetings, Your Majesty! I am Sun Wukong, King of the Fruit and Flower Mountain!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need someone who can defeat demons. Well, here I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong frowned. Your majesty, stop crying!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you want my help, you must stay calm and explain everything to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can stop being sad now, your majesty. I will rescue the queen. In the meantime, please take care of my companions. I think Bajie is hungry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, forget about the brush. I have something even better for you, Betty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you making noise in the back of the post office earlier?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here because I'm hungry and tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They want Olga to work for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because those apartments cost too much. I told her Olga's budget, but she didn't listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wants an apartment near a bus stop and near a grocery store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need, I have cards for birthdays, special events, or holidays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you can learn many new words from this dictionary. Then you can be smart. But she already is smart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Visit the Science Museum in Chicago. They have a space center there. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can she type this letter for me? Ask her please. Yes sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you type this letter for the boss please, Pamela?

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 87, The Three Young Women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong and his companions were walking through a forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A traveler soon came to a wall running along the road. Behind the wall, they could see the roof of a house. Up ahead was a gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the Tang monk. He looked at his companions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course we can spare some food, said the first woman. We have plenty, said the second woman. Come inside our house, said the third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's taking Master so long? Asked Wukong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monk's companions were waiting outside in the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong looked worried. We'd better check on Master.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong kicked in the gate and they rushed toward the house. The monkey banged on the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three women leaked out, shooting sticky webs at Wukong and Bajie. The pig waved his rake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bajie turned to run, but more webs flew toward him.

[Assistant] Journey to the West, Chapter 92, The Lion Demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cried the Tang Monk, nearly falling over. Wu Jing caught him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tang monk nodded, wringing his hands nervously. Wukong turned to Bajie and Wu Jing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said Wu Jing. Wu Kang and Bajie went to the cave entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The monkey pulled out his iron bar. Bajay raised his rake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a moment, everything was quiet. Then the lion stepped out of the cave. He towered over the monkey and the pig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He raised his iron bar and charged toward the lion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lion opened his mouth wide revealing huge sharp fangs. Wukong swung his iron bar. The lion pounced and gulp. Bajie's face went white with horror. Yikes! He cried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't stop running until he reached Wu Jing and the Tang Monk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong got eaten. What?! Cried the Tang Monk. Vajay shook his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His chest was puffed out and he wore a big smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] West. Chapter 54. The River God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A sign on the gate read, Home of the Black River God. Wu Jing tapped on the door with his spear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lizard spun around, blocking the spear with his tail. The force nearly knocked Wu Jing over. Right away the lizard was on top of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shouted Wu Jing. He shoved the lizard. The lizard attacked again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wu Jing swung his spear and then swam upward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said the river god. He looked even more frightened now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Demanded the monkey. The dragon's smile faded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wukong and the dragon flew back to the Black River. The dragon king shouted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His head hanging low, he followed his uncle up into the sky.

[Assistant] I am your new plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please give me a pot. Then be patient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please give me soil. Then be patient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please give me some light. Then be patient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please give me company. Then be patient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me these things, and something will happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will not talk or sing. I will not do magic tricks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be patient, and I will grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, no more! I'll go into that cave and rescue my friends! When the demons attack, I'll clobber them with my iron bar!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if they cry and promise not to hurt us, I won't believe them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, let's take a look at the entire Russian alphabet in its classical order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here you can see the capital and uppercase form of the letter, as well as a hint for pronunciation. But to make it easier for you to remember the letters, I divided them into four groups. Let's see how it looks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the first group contains five letters that I've written and pronounced the same as in English.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second group contains seven letters, which look like English ones but have different sounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third group contains 13 letters which look unfamiliar but have familiar sounds. And the last group contains 8 letters whose writing and sound are unfamiliar. Press pause and write it down, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start with the first group. I guess you will remember this letter is the easiest way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, as in father, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, as in old. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's try to practice. Repeat with me. Ah, ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to remind you that the second group contains seven letters which look like English ones but have different sounds. So, the first one is V.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] V, as in vibes. V.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. As in yes. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] N, nuh, as in nice, nuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As in rain, but it has to be rolled like in Scottish English, or like in Russian. R, r, r, rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] uuuh, as in soon. uuuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third group contains 13 letters which look unfamiliar but have familiar sounds in English. Let's take a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Z. As in zoo or zodiac. Z.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As in pleasure or vision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As in, it's chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sha, sh, as in shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not shh, but shh. Just keep practicing. Shh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heart sign represents a very short pose. For example, in the word объект, объект.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which means object, and you can hear this little pause between up and yuk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This letter doesn't exist in English, but what should we do? For pronouncing ū, pronounce ū.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, and then change the position of the lips, extend them. This is the way you can pronounce the Russian u, so let's try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tongue is located in the same place. And the last one. We call it soft sign. There is no sound for this letter as well as for hard sign. Soft sign softens the front consonant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which means guest. You can hear that t sounds soft. Not t, but t. Gość, gość. Not t, but t.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry, we will talk more about reading rules in the next lesson. Let's discuss the key points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to say that there is a big difference between the Russian and the English articulation. In the English articulation the main force is based in the back part of the vocal tract, closer to the lower range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Russian articulation, the main force is transferred to the front zone of the vocal tract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tip of the tongue covers down and the front part strongly adjoins the teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, I can read this sentence using Russian articulation. Let me try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main force is transferred to the front zone of the vocal tract. The tip of the tongue cumbers down and the front part strongly adjoins the teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds amazing! Now you know how to imitate a frightening Russian accent. Congratulations! The essential reading rules. The point is that in Russian,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Differences between spelling and pronunciation are insignificant and easy to remember. You read all letters in the word, apart from a few rare exceptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Else I wanted to mention that in Russian de-fongs don't exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reading of Russian letters which express vowels doesn't depend on the type of syllable in which the letter is included. Word stress in Russian


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Russian, the stress isn't fixed and can fall on every alternate syllable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being stressed, the valves have the maximum intensity, so the pronunciation of the sound is extended and clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an unstressed position it is as if all vowels would lose their intensity. So the pronunciation is shorter and weak. Hard and soft consonants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Russian, most consonants can be hard and soft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This phonetic phenomenon doesn't exist in English, where consonants are pronounced exclusively hardly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fifteen Russian consonants have correlative pairs. Three consonants are always hard and three consonants are always soft. Let's take a look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The correlative pair for м is м. The sound м is hard. The sound м is soft. м, м, б.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And consonants ch, sh, ye are always soft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hardness or softness of a consonant depends on the vowel after it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, for the designation of the hardness of the previous consonant we use these vowels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the designation of the softness of the previous consonant, we use soft sign and Let's try to use this information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] M with soft sign will be Mye, Mye, Mye. Aya, Ma, Mya. Uyu, Mu, Myu. Oyo, Mo, Myo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, we have the soft sign after


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why it's soft. It means guest. The next word is мысль.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, after M we have U. That's why M is hard. Мы. Мысль.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after L we have the soft sign. That's why L is soft. Мысль. It means idea. Мир.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mir. We have i after em, that's why em is soft. Mir. It means world. Film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can notice that we have E after F and the soft sign after L. That's why F and L are soft. Which means film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] актер, актер. You say Ё after Т, that's why Т is soft. актер, актер. Which means actor. Reading rules for unstressed vowels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've already said that all vowels in an unstressed position are pronounced shortly and weakly, but the absence of stress has a special influence on the pronunciation of the vowels О, Е, and Я. So, the unstressed О


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an unstressed position, the letter О read as a weak А, like in a word Россия, Россия, Russia. As you can see, ОР


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is unstressed. And И is stressed. That's why О sounds like А. Russia. Moscow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] А is stressed and О is unstressed. That's why we read it Москва. The unstressed Е.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an unstressed position, we read it as a weak E. For example, telephone. You can see two E.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we pronounce it as a weak I. The unstressed Я.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an unstressed position we read it as something between Й and ЙЕ. For example, egg, яйцо, яйцо, Japan, Япония, Япония,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's practice our reading skills, greetings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The easiest way to say hello in Russian is to say Привет. Привет.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, this word is informal and used between close people and friends. And one more time. Privet. Privet. The formal way for the word Hello is Zdrastvujte. Zdrastvujte. Zdrastvujte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I already said, in Russian when reading, all letters are pronounced. But this word is an exception. We don't pronounce the highlighted letter В.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zdrastwujcie. Okay? Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the formal way to say hello in Russian is zdrastvoite. Informal way is privet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's take a look at the important points in the grammar of the Russian language.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firstly, there are not articles in Russian. We don't use it. We don't have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secondly, in Russian the verb TO BE doesn't exist in the present tense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't use it for building sentences in the present tense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, in order to present yourself and say I am, in my case I will say I am Maria, I will use the following construction. Я Мария.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no verb to be at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In English it looks like I, Maria. Like, uhm, iPhone, iPad, iPort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope you understand it. There is no verb to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How will you say I am Alexander?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please don't forget that in the Russian articulation the tip of the tongue strongly adjoin the teeth. If you want to reply, nice to meet you. You can say Очень приятно. Literally it translates as very and pleasantly. Очень приятно. Very pleasantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice to meet you. Очень приятно. How are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just can't translate this sentence literally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without the verb TO BE since we don't use it in Russian in the present tense. How? Как? You? Ты? Как ты? Как ты? How are you? Как ты? Good, thank you. Хорошо, спасибо. Хорошо, спасибо. How are you? Good, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you could already understand, thank you in Russian is Spasibo. Spasibo. You're welcome. Pazhalosta. Pazhalosta. Pazhalosta. Thank you. You're welcome. Spasibo. Pazhalosta. And the next word is farewell. Proshchanie. Proshchanie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say bye in Russian, use this word. This is in official form. The official form is The structure in order to say your name. I am Maria, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But since in Russian language we don't use the verb TO BE in the present tense, we say Я, I, Мария, my name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I'd like to give you another option to say the same phrase. You can use the following structure. Меня зовут. And here's your name. For example, Меня зовут Мария. Меня зовут Мария. Меня, me, зовут, call, Мария. Name. Меня зовут Мария. To ask someone's name in Russian


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use this question. Как тебя зовут? Как? How? Тебя? You? Зовут? Call. Как тебя зовут? Options for greeting during the day. Good morning in Russian. Доброе утро. Доброе утро.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dobre means kind, utra morning. Dobre utra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good afternoon Dobry dzień Dobry dzień


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dobry means kind, deň – afternoon. Dobry deň. Dobry deň.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you greet someone in the evening or at night, you can say Dobry vecher. Dobry vecher. Dobry. Kind. Good. Evening. Vecher. Dobry vecher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to say good night to someone who is going to sleep, you can also use these phrases. Dobryy noche. Dobryy noche. Dobryy. Kind. Nochey. Night. Or, spokojnyi noche. Spokojnyi noche. Spokojnyi. Calm. Oh, peaceful. Nochey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have three words for apology. The first one is Простите. This word can be used in both formal and informal communication. In formal communication we say Простите.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, if you apologize to a stranger


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or to a leader, or to a teacher, or to a person who is older than you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to apologize to your friend or sister, someone close to you, use the short version. Прости. Прости. It's more casual. The second word is Извините. Извините.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as with the previous word, it can be used both in formal and in informal communication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just informal communication, we fully pronounce this word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in informal, just like in the previous word, a short version. And the last option is the phrase I'm asking for your forgiveness. Ask forgiveness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say that this phrase is rarely used in everyday life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can also use this phrase


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, you know, this is a very beautiful phrase, characteristic of intelligent and educated people, so I advise you to remember it. The key point is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All three words can be used in very different situations, only intonation changes. Let's try to work with intonation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just remember how you say it in English. So it's the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing, I used the full form of words, since most likely you will not know the cashier or the waiter, and when talking with a stranger, the formal version is used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's hear what intonation we will use if we bump into someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, let's imagine how we would say it in English. Sorry, and in Russian, прости or простите. Извини or извините. Прошу прощения.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the next case is when we interrupt someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We usually sound like we are going to say something else after our apology. For example, sorry, sorry, I would like to comment on this. In Russian, the intonation is the same. And the last one, прошу прощения.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, let's continue with the option when something really unpleasant happened and you really want to apologize. This should sound solid and serious. In English, it probably would sound I'm sorry. In Russian, простите or прости. Извините. Извини. Прошу прощения.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's learn new nouns to diversify our exercises. And the first one is кофе.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it won't be hard to remember it. So let's have a look at the next word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's learn a phrase that you can use if you need something and you want to ask someone to bring it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first phrase can be used both in formal and informal communication. The second is more likely only in informal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since it's less polite and more likely to call for action. Something. Could you bring me? And the second one. Something. Can you bring me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personal pronouns. личные местоимения личные местоимения


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very first and perhaps most significant pronoun is IA. IA. Which means I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's quite logical that we use this pronoun when we talk about ourselves. The next pronoun is мы, мы, which means we. Let's take a look at the following pronouns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here I have indicated two pronouns that we use instead of YOU during a conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact is that in Russian there are two forms. The first form is used for informal communication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the second form is used for formal communication.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Russian, all nouns in the singular have genders. Masculine, female, and neuter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To determine the gender of a noun, you need to pay attention to how this noun ends. Nouns which don't have an ending, which end with a consonant, belong to the masculine gender. For example, the first word is ДЕНЬ, ДЕЙ. This word ends with НЬ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why the gender of this word is masculine. Next word. Dom. Dom. House. This word ends with the consonant М. М. The gender of this word is masculine. And the last word. Чай. Чай. Tea. It ends with the consonant Й. И кратко.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why the gender of this word is masculine. Female gender. Nouns which have the ending А or Я belong to the female gender. For example. Женщина. Woman. Женщина. It ends with А. Книга. Book. Книга.

[Assistant] This word ends with A as well.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to remind you that in these two words O sounds like A because it's unstressed. In the first word U is stressed, O is unstressed, that's why O sounds like a soft A.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Utra. Mesta. E is stressed and O is unstressed. And the last word is Mori. Mori.

[Assistant] C. The gender of these three words is neuter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, these are not all the rules that you need to know in order to feel free in determining the gender of nouns in Russian. So the following points should be noted as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, I have to warn you that you have to be careful with nouns which end with an soft sign. Such nouns belong either to the masculine or to the female gender. Firstly, nouns which end with тель or ар belong to the masculine gender.
