But I've lived in California since I was six years old. My parents really insisted that I continue with my Russian. Q: Are you a qualified teacher? A: Absolutely not. There are a bunch of great Russian teachers on YouTube, though, that will break this down more for you. Q: Why is this so fast? A: That's just the style of the videos. If you watch it once, you certainly won't learn anything. It's meant to be watched many times, with pauses to read the writing. Q: Why can't you say "paka" to your grandma? A: Well, not to my grandma, at least. It depends on your grandma. I just thought it'd be funny. Lighten up!
