English is still difficult for me and I know it at a level to do subtitles, but not for open dialog.I reviewed the video with Russian subtitles.
Honestly, I didn't understand anything, but it's still interesting to keep and learn from it.
Looking back, I remember that I learned English (vocabulary and pronunciation) by watching episodes of the series The X-Files in the 90s. My uncle lived in the USA and sent VHS tapes with the latest episodes released. I learned more this way than at school.
I was very interested in Russian at the time because the character Alex Krycek (former FBI agent, former partner of Agent Fox Mulder) spoke a few phrases in Russian in the episode Tunguska (The X-Files - S04E08).
The Russian alphabet is truly incredible. Most of the letters are written backwards (*, R, r, N, Y, W) and sometimes they mix the numbers 3 and 4 in the middle of words, it looks so confusing!
And I am very glad that there are people who want to learn Russian, especially after the recent events committed by our President.
And these subtitles are not a perfect translation, I tried to adapt it. so yes there may contain creative adaptation, but it's just to keep the pace of what's going on.
