Russian language teacher Tatyana Hartman became a YouTube star, acting as a critic of the pronunciation of popular TV presenters. For a month, the channel of a resident of Nizhny Novgorod "Uchilka vs TV" gained more than half a million views.
Hartman herself says that she created the channel because she could no longer hear how journalists make mistakes in their speech, writes Air force.
“When I turn on the TV and see how different presenters and correspondents make mistakes in the Russian language, it infuriates!” - she said in the first of her weekly videos.
Her first victim was Ivan Urgant, a polite and popular evening talk show host.
“As a simple Russian woman for 40 years, I cannot help but love Ivan, but I cannot forgive a bad Russian even for him,” the teacher said in the same first video.
Urgant's grammatical mistake, who used the numeral "both" instead of "both" in relation to two singers, Hartmann called "shame and disgrace." The video got over 275 thousand views.
"No room for error"
But the scandal erupted when Hartman criticized Channel One journalist Vitaly Kadchenko for reporting from Kerch. On October 17, 18-year-old student of the Polytechnic College Vladislav Roslyakov, armed with an improvised explosive device and a gun, killed 21 people there.
Not all the subscribers of the teacher from Nizhny Novgorod appreciated her criticism, finding that she bent the stick, negatively assessing this mournful news story.
However, Tatiana herself has already departed from the teachers' affairs and began working on one of the TV channels of her native city.
Some Nizhny Novgorod media outlets immediately took up arms against Hartmann because of her use of the colloquial terms “infuriates”, “teacher” and “eggs in profile” in her blog.
“What kind of teenage vocabulary is disrespectful and uncivilized,” a certain Alena wrote in the comments to one of the videos of the “teacher”.
“He wants to hyip,” - the commentator Alexander is sure.
At the same time, the woman has more than enough fans: none of her videos has the number of “dislikes” more than 5% of the number of “likes”.
"Not OberEgom alone"
Host of the program "We are literate!" on the Kultura TV channel, Alexander Pryanikov reacted extremely nervously to Tatiana's criticism, allowing himself a spiteful remark directed at her. Gingerbread advised the former teacher to lose 20 kg.
The woman did not remain in debt, and found a couple more "blots" in his speech. “We need to say“ from the city of Moscow ”, not“ the city of Moscow, ”Tatiana said.
Even more amusing was the scene where the examiner of the knowledge of schoolchildren Gingerbread saw in front of him a plate on which it is written “shore” and at the same time emphasizes the last syllable in this word; of course, this did not go unnoticed by the keen-sighted Hartmann.
However, at the end of each of her videos she expresses her hope that she will not have to record new videos for YouTube due to the alleged increase in the level of literacy on Russian TV.
"In the days of doubt, in the days of painful meditation"
The fall in literacy in Russia worries many. On the Internet, there are all new resources aimed at improving the culture of speech in general and language literacy. Enthusiasts in the range from the professional project gramota.ru to the personal blog gramotno.li are trying to deal with errors.
At the same time, experts note that constant changes in the language are its organic part.
“The idea that the journalists of the main TV channels should bring the normative Russian language to the masses, I rather like as a mere mortal, and as a linguist I can only be glad that the language is changing and that the“ spoken ”is becoming“ normal, ”the BBC said. si specialist in computational linguistics Irina Burukina.
However, the correct Russian language becomes the subject of video blogs not only Russians.
Five years ago, a video of a Briton who taught English in Russia, where he explained how to pronounce the widespread male names in the country - Vladimir, Ivan, Igor, Boris and Grigory, became a hit.
