Dagestani Man Teaches French Schoolchildren Dagestani Russian Slang

A man from Dagestan is teaching French schoolchildren Dagestani Russian slang, with kids already familiar with phrases like "zhi yest," "nefor," and "ne morosit," helping them quickly reach level C3 proficiency.

Zelimkhan, who teaches at a Paris high school, self-taught French through books and YouTube, earned a red diploma, and later joined a graduate program where he shares stories about Dagestani culture and language with the students.

During one session, the students asked Zelimkhan to teach them phrases from UFC champions' videos, leading him to immerse them in typical Dagestani slang, creating an engaging and immersive learning atmosphere that was well-received by all.
