A real gift from the famous linguist Dmitry Petrov and the Kultura TV channel. A video course of 16 lessons, at the end of which you will be able to speak English. This is the most helpful English course for beginners I have ever seen. Below is the text of the video. Watch and read, you won't regret it!
Good afternoon Today we will start the course, which will take 16 lessons. Our goal is to learn to speak English. To master the language perfectly - not enough life. To learn how to speak professionally, you also need to spend enough time, effort, and energy. But in order to simply learn to understand people, to be understood and, most importantly, to get rid of fear, which for many hinders any desire and ability to speak the language - I am sure that this will take no more than a few days.
What I offer you, I have experienced on myself and a fairly large number of people: I am a professional translator, a professional linguist, I am engaged in simultaneous translation in a number of languages, I teach this to others ... And some kind of approach, some kind of mechanism was gradually developed ... And it is necessary to say that there is such a progression: each next language requires less effort, less time.
- How many languages do you know?
There are 7-8 main European languages that I constantly work with as a translator and as a teacher. Well, there will be 2-3 dozen other languages that I can speak in the situation when it is necessary.
- And what, did you learn all these languages in a few lessons?!
Yes, if we are talking about the second category of languages, it is absolutely true. A week is enough for any language.
Let me explain what is required for this. After all, what is language? First of all, language is a new view of the world, of the surrounding reality. This is the ability to switch, that is, to make a click - as in the receiver we change one program for another - to tune in to another wave. What is required on your part is, above all, motivation. It may be just a desire to travel, it may be something related to the profession, with training, with communication. It can be friendship and, finally, love.
Now we will try to figure out what prevented you from learning the language. Because one might think that we are talking about some kind of miracle: how is it possible to speak the language in a few days? In my opinion, the miracle is different: how can you learn a language for months, years and not be able to connect some elementary things on it? Therefore, I will ask you to begin by giving your names and in a nutshell say that until now it has been a significant difficulty for you, why do you still not speak English?
- My name is Michael. First of all, there was no incentive for me to speak. And at school, when I went through this whole thing, at some point I missed it, then I didn’t understand and ...
This is a fairly typical argument, because most of you know a huge amount of English words - consciously or subconsciously, but English words are everywhere. But they can be compared with a scattering of beads, which are scattered by themselves, but there is no system. The lack of a system makes it difficult to use words effectively, so one of the basic principles of my method, my system, is to create this thread, the rod, where you can string all these beads.
Please, what is your name?
- Daria.
How did your relationship develop with the language?
- Well, to be honest, it seems to me that only laziness prevented me from learning it, because, in principle, I have already started learning it all the time since kindergarten, and I still don’t know, although there is a desire. Now I really want to learn English!
Well, laziness is a state and property worthy of respect. Everything we have, we must accept. Because fighting laziness is unrealistic. Therefore, I want to tell you the good news: in addition to the fact that our course is quite compact (these are not years or months, these are 16 lessons, by the end of which, as I hope, if you help me and take a step towards me, we will just speak English) you will have to do some things on your own, but another good news is that you will not have to sit for hours and do some homework. Firstly, because it is unrealistic - no adult will ever do any homework for hours, no matter what he does.
I will ask you for a few minutes every day to repeat certain things that I will suggest that you do at the end of each session. I can't believe you don't have 5 minutes 2-3 times a day to repeat certain patterns. What is it for? The amount of information that is really worth mastering, learning, hammering into yourself does not exceed the multiplication table. It will be necessary to bring several basic structures to automatism. What does it mean? Bring them to a level at which, for example, our legs work when they walk, how the structures of our native language work for us. It's quite real.
Please, what is your name?
- My name is Anna. The formal approach prevented me from learning English. Because I actually did well in school, and the basically simple things that we learned were reduced to schemes that I can’t use when I meet a live person. Right now, for example, a person from Dublin came to visit us, and I feel that there is no full-fledged communication. I'm offended, time is running out ... At the same time, I remember that I know everything, I have 5 in English: the table is white, the wall is black, everything is fine, but there is nothing to say!
Resentment is a very powerful motivation! OK, thank you! You?
My name is Vladimir. I'm just ashamed. It hurts me when I can't express myself. I understand that it is enough to relax, as I once had, I was talking with one Englishman after a couple of beers - I could communicate with him easily. For some reason, since childhood, I did not like to study. I had the feeling that I knew everything. There is a feeling that I also know English. Sometimes in my sleep I speak easily and understand everything. Sometimes watching a movie in English, I fall asleep and begin to understand it. But I never learned to speak.
- My name is Anastasia. It seems to me that the lack of immersion in the environment prevents me. Because when I start teaching myself and studying from books, these schemes begin: what is put first, what then, all the verbs ... I can no longer improvise, I always remember this scheme in my head and think that I need to substitute it there.
Quite right! Our goal is to ensure that this scheme does not have to be remembered.
- My name is Alexandra. It probably bothers me that there is a huge range of different methods and schools. I have a huge amount of information in my head, but I still cannot talk about the past, future and present. I get confused in these forms and, of course, after 10 minutes my interlocutor says OK ... 🙂
Well, maybe you are generally philosophical about time? .. In the course of the course, we will put things in order.
- My name is Oleg, and I have a certain horror, of course, about irregular verbs ...
The beginning was similar: my name is Oleg and I'm an alcoholic 🙂
- I'm scared all the time, it seems to me that I can't concentrate on the language that I think I know now at the level of “your mine understands”.
- My name is Alice. I was always prevented by laziness and lack of time to go to courses and simply restore the language in volume.
Language in general, quite rightly, should be perceived as something voluminous. Any information that we receive in a linear form (a list of words, a table, a diagram of some rules, verbs) - this causes what we call the student's syndrome: learned, passed and forgot. For volumetric learning of a language, it is not enough to know the words, you need to feel your physical presence in a new environment. Therefore, an image and some emotional attachments, sensations must be connected. Now, if offhand you ask a question when they talk about the English language, what association comes to mind? Here English language What came right away?
- Envy! When I see children who speak English...
From childhood and for free 🙂
- I remember the book. Edition of Shakespeare - old-old! At my parents. Such a brown cover… I've been leafing through it since childhood, I thought, my God! And fields overgrown with heather...
Heather honey 🙂
So the first schema is the verb schema.
The verb in every language is the stem. And I must say, when we talked about the number of words that need to be mastered, there is such statistics: regardless of our age, level of education, the language we speak, 90% of our speech falls on 300 - 350 words. By the way, from the list of these basic 300 words, verbs occupy 50 - 60 words (depending on the language).
According to the logic of using verbs, we can talk either about the present, or about the future, or about the past.
We can either affirm or deny something, or ask, ask a question.
And here is a table of 9 possible options.
Let's take a verb. For example, love. The functionality of the verb is given by the system of pronouns:
I, you, we, they, he, she.
You love means "you love" or "you love". It is sometimes erroneously claimed that in English everything is “you”. Nothing like this! Everything in English is “you”. There is a word for "you" in English, but it is only used when speaking to God, in prayers, in the Bible, and so on. This word is thou, but we will not even write it down, because a rare native speaker even knows it.
Now, if the person is 3rd, then here we add the letter s:
In any language, no matter what we undertake, in my opinion, all forms of the verb must be given at once, so that we can immediately see the three-dimensional structure. And not like today we learned it, a month later - the past tense, a year later - the interrogative form ... All at once, in the first minutes!
Read more about times in the article. There is a video there. Dragunkin explains everything very clearly 🙂
In order to form the past tense, the letter d is added:
I loved
he loved
she loved
To form the future tense, an auxiliary word will is added: I will love; he will love; she will love.
- What about "shall"?
Canceled. For the last 30 years, "shall" has been used in legal/clerical language.
- That is, when we were taught, it was already canceled?
Already gone!)
And here we have the affirmative form of the verb.
- And “it” is what we have?
“It” is not. There is no word for “it” in English because there is no gender. Russian has masculine, feminine, and neuter genders; English has none. The word it simply means "it" and has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, many who were told at school that he, she, it are three genders remained in this delusion. There is no gender in English! There is one common genus. He and she are words indicating the gender of a person, but this is not a grammatical gender. In Russian, big / big / big, in English it will all be big.
That is, if I, as in Russian, play with the word “it” (it) somehow literary, they won’t be able to translate me?
Absolutely. So we have to look for some other means.
…
Negative form: don't added:
I/you/we/they don't love; he/she doesn't love.
Negative past tense:
I/you/we/they/he/she didn't love.
This structure is the most important, the most difficult, the very first in the English language. Mastered it - consider mastered half of the language.
Negative form in the future tense:
I/you/we/they/he/she will not love.
Interrogative form in the present tense: DO, DOES are added.
Interrogative form in the past tense: DID.
Interrogative form in the future tense: WILL.
The system of coordinates has turned out: at first I am defined, whether I APPROVE, I ASK or I DENY, then I find out, it WAS, IS or WILL be?
Here is this list, in which there are 50 - 60 verbs that each person constantly uses (there are, of course, 1000 others, but they occupy 10%). There are regular verbs: love, live, work, open, close... But there is another half of the verbs, which is called and causes awe and horror, because from childhood everyone remembers these tables with three forms, hundreds of some kind of verbs...
So, in fact, in the basic list that we need to master and bring to automatism, there are half of them, that is, 20 - 30 irregular verbs that we need to master. Take the irregular (super irregular) verb see:
I don't see. He doesn't
As long as nothing changes...
And only in one case (statement in the past tense) out of 9 possible cases does the “obscene” form saw appear:
This is the form of the verb that is written in brackets: see (saw).
Moreover, irregular verbs can only be very common, because in the course of history they are used so often that they are inevitably distorted.
The third form of the verb, which we will get to later, is the participle (seen, done, etc.), so it should be lumped together with the verb form.
In all other 8 cases - the correct or irregular verb - it does not matter.
Say, “he came” and “he came” in English are they the same thing?
The concept of aspect (perfect aspect / imperfect aspect) exists only in Russian (Slavic languages):
Come, come
This is not the case in English:
He came – he came; He came
You take a verb and run it through all these forms. It takes 20 to 30 seconds. Then take another verb. When mastering structures, the regularity of repetition is much more important than the amount of time. It is very important. You will be convinced that after 2-4 lessons this structure will work automatically.
Is this diagram clear? There are several more schemes that are simpler, smaller and clearer. But everything is based on this scheme, so it needs to be brought to automatism. When you try to speak, this is the first thing to do. And you need to either spend time and energy on this to glue it on your internal monitor, or to ensure that it will work on its own, for you.
With regular repetition through the pond of days, this structure will begin to work automatically, which, perhaps, has not happened for many years.
This is usually given very loosely and the ratio is not explained. When there is no single three-dimensional picture, problems arise that many people have been pursuing for years.
This concludes our first lesson, and I really hope that you will have a few minutes to try to move this structure towards automatism. Goodbye!
The intellectual reality show of the Kultura TV channel is an intensive course in learning English. He teaches a real polyglot, who has more than 30 languages. This is teacher Dmitry Petrov - psycholinguist, simultaneous interpreter, teacher, author of the book "The Magic of the Word". There are 8 people in the group of students.
Members: actors Vladimir Epifantsev, Anna Litkens, Daria Ekamasova, Alexandra Rebenok, Anastasia Vvedenskaya; jeweler-designer Mikhail Milyutin; art historian Alisa Gorlova; Oleg Shishkin, writer, screenwriter and presenters of the Magic Cinema program.
Here is what Petrov himself says about this interactive course:
“To master the English language perfectly, life is not enough. To learn how to speak professionally, you also need to spend a lot of time, effort and energy. But in order to simply learn to understand people, to be understood, and most importantly, to get rid of fear, which for many hinders any desire and ability to explain in the language, this requires no more than a few days.
What I offer you, I have experienced on myself and on a fairly large number of people. I am a professional translator, linguist, I am engaged in professional translation in a number of languages, I teach this to others. And, gradually, a certain approach, a mechanism was developed. I must say that there is such a progression - each next language requires less effort and time.
A week is enough for any language. What is language? - Language is a new view of the world, the surrounding reality. It is the ability to switch, to make a click. And as in the receiver, we change one program for another, tune in to a different wave.
What is required on your part is motivation (desire to travel, something related to the profession, with training and communication, it can be friendship or love) ”
Each lesson reinforces what has been learned and introduces new grammatical and lexical material. By the end, students have mastered the basic grammatical patterns and freely use them in their speech.
Dmitry Petrov's method is not to start a language, but to penetrate it, to feel comfortable in a new language environment.

Lesson #1
The contestants of the show begin a course of 16 lessons. Everyone's goal is to learn to speak English. To master the language perfectly - not enough life. But it takes only a few days to simply learn to understand people and be understood, Dmitry Petrov is sure.Lesson #2
The verb in every language is the stem. The list of verbs that each person constantly uses does not exceed 50-60 words. There are, of course, thousands of others, but they are used in only 10% of speech. We can talk about the present, the future, the past. We can affirm, deny, ask something. It turns out a table of 9 cells: tic-tac-toe.Lesson #3
Most of us know a huge amount of English words. Consciously or subconsciously. English words are everywhere. But they can be compared with a scattering of beads, which are scattered by themselves, but the systems are not. The lack of a system makes it difficult to use them effectively, so one of the basic principles of our system is to create a thread, a rod where all these beads can be strung.Lesson #4
The list of the most important verbs most often used in English speech, Dmitry Petrov proposes to work out using the basic scheme and bring it to automatism. This is the first step that needs to be taken in order to reach the level of fluent, non-stressed language proficiency during the course.Lesson #5
Do you think it is possible to learn 50,000 words per minute? Each of you can bet with those who do not know what is possible. The situation is simple. In English, in Russian and in a number of other languages there are a large number of words with the same type of ending. So, in Russian, about 50 thousand words end in -tion or -sia. In English, most of these words have the same root and end in -tion or -sion. According to statistics, there are several tens of thousands of such words.Lesson #6
Dmitry Petrov's students, using the constructions and tables obtained in previous classes, begin to communicate in the language. With mistakes, with long pauses, but progress is noticeable. The main thing is to relax and remove the psychological barrier.Lesson #7
Dmitry Petrov's method is not to memorize the language, but to penetrate it in order to feel comfortable in the new language environment. Probably for this reason, the participants of the show decided to master the professional vocabulary. Six of them are media faces - actors, directors, TV presenters.Lesson #8
Dmitry Petrov and the participants of the show analyze the system of prepositions. First, students make sentences about the position of objects in space. Petrov then explains that some prepositions are added to verbs and so-called phrasal verbs come into being.Lesson #9
It is necessary to speak without hesitation, with pleasure, figuratively, Dmitry Petrov believes. If you pay attention exclusively to grammatical structures and the number of learned words, then success is hardly possible. And if the language is perceived not as a textbook or dictionary, but as something alive, changeable, filled with vivid images, these barriers disappear. It is this approach that Petrov adheres to when working with students in the studio.Lesson #10
At the tenth lesson, the project participants continue free and creative communication on topics of interest to them. Of course, they do not do everything exactly and correctly, but Dmitry Petrov is in no hurry to correct the grammatical errors of his wards: he wants them to learn to enjoy speaking English, and you can always polish your speech. The main thing is to have something to polish.Lesson #11
At the 11th lesson, the group conducts a kind of revision of the acquired knowledge - it repeats the grammatical patterns studied in the first lessons. Daria Ekamasova talks about how she went on an internship. At the end of the lesson, students continue to develop their communication skills.Lesson #12
Dmitry Petrov tells on what principle it is better to form the basis of the language and explains with the help of what mechanisms to type the necessary vocabulary. Students describe an image they associate with learning English and look forward to the teacher revealing to them all 30 "magic" verbs with which they can talk about everything.This edition is an elementary English course developed by Dmitry Petrov. The printed version of the course contains exercises, basic pronunciation rules and information about verbs. With the help of sixteen lessons according to the method of Dmitry Petrov, you can master the basic algorithms of the language, put them into practice and bring them to automatism.
“Freedom before correctness: first you need to learn how to speak a foreign language, and then learn how to speak correctly,” Dmitry Petrov is convinced.

Polyglot is an educational reality show that was broadcast on the Kultura channel. The idea of the show is to learn foreign languages. While watching the program, you have the opportunity to learn to speak a foreign language in 16 hours - 16 video lessons.
The class is taught by a polyglot teacher - Dmitry Petrov (knows about 50 languages), who also works as a simultaneous interpreter, a psycholinguist by training. Interestingly, he teaches groups of eight people, many of whom are famous people. Participants do not know the language at all, or learned it some time ago at school. The guys start to communicate in English from the first lesson, which is a plus, because. from the first lesson, the training of speaking begins, and not just grammar and reading, as is usually the case.
An interesting fact is that in any language in 90% of his speech a person has only 300-400 words. This course is based on the study of these words. The main advantage of "Polyglot" is the ability to learn to speak and express one's thoughts more confidently in a small amount of time. At each lesson, the topics covered are fixed and, at the request of the students, new topics begin. By the end of the course, it is planned that students will be able to freely use in their speech grammatical patterns and phrases learned during their studies. The course will bring the greatest benefit to those who absolutely do not know the language, or simply do not remember most of the words they have learned in their entire lives.
At the first lesson, Dmitry talks about the main forms of the past, future and present tense and the rules for their use in accordance with pronouns. On the second - the group learns the rules for constructing interrogative sentences. Further, topics such as seasons, weather, days of the week and months will be studied. The following sessions are devoted to various situations.
Thus, with the help of this course, you will be able to master the basic phrases, words and communicate fluently at the everyday level in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian. To successfully master the language in such a short time, it is very important to motivate yourself, not be lazy and devote at least 5-10 minutes a day to repetition and learning new words! And of course, do not forget to constantly practice, talk with friends, watch movies and videos, read adapted literature.

Dmitry Petrov- a connoisseur of more than 30 languages of the world, an excellent psycholinguist, simultaneous interpreter, and a methodologist for the rapid introduction of the language into the minds of students. His book "Magic of the Word" has long broken records for the circulation of books of educational content. His technique really gives excellent results in a short time. Comfortable learning a new language for Dmitry Petrov is the top priority in the presentation of the material. He teaches ordinary expressions and words, and then reinforces the complex turns of speech of a foreign language.
There are 8 students in a group. All students either do not know the language being studied at all, or, at best, they have vague memories of the school curriculum. Already in the first lesson, they begin to communicate in the language. With mistakes, with long pauses, with tension, but progress is noticeable immediately. Everyone can watch lessons and learn - both a child who goes to primary school and a pensioner sitting at home.
Your main task for yourself Dmitry Petrov considers not only machine learning, but also memorization for many years.
The program consists of 16 episodes, each episode lasts about 45 minutes - this is quite a long time for a lesson, so you need to follow every minute of this precious and intellectual show very carefully. Viewers notice progress literally from the second or third transmission. Each next lesson reinforces the material covered and gradually moves on to new grammatical and lexical material.
Transfer “Polyglot. Learn English in 16 hours!" very useful in our difficult time, when foreign language lessons are quite expensive for an ordinary person, and not everyone succeeds in learning on their own.
Dmitry Petrov about the success of my students: “During the intensive course that I offer, I try to create in students a fireproof store of knowledge that, at the most, can serve as a good basis for continuing their studies, and at least ensure that the language will never again be perceived as a foreign language. , will cause positive emotions and, if you return to it even after some time, you will not have to start learning it again from scratch. But, of course, in order to use it effectively, additional regular classes will be required.
Watch and learn at home and for free.
