How to say it correctly: "человек" (chelovék) or "люди" (lyúdi)? ( human or people )
It would seem that if there is one person, you should use the word "человек", and if there are many people, then "люди". Logical? Yes, but not for the Russian language. We say: five человек, seven человек, ten... Is there something else at play?
To put it briefly:
Exact designation of number - ЧЕЛОВЕК:
Five people - пять человек (pyat chelovék)
Ten people - десять человек (désyat' chelovék)
One hundred people - сто человек (sto chelovék)
Approximate designation of a group - ЛЮДИ:
Thousands of people - тысячи людей (tísyachi lyudéy)
Hundreds of people - сотни людей (sótni lyudéy)
A bunch of people - куча людей (kúcha lyudéy)

How to learn Russian more effectively and better?
When learning a new language with a teacher, it is important to conduct lessons in the language being studied. What are the advantages of this?
1. Immersion in the language environment: Using the Russian language in lessons helps students to quickly get used to the sound, rhythm, and nuances of the language, which contributes to more effective learning.
2. Development of communication skills: When students communicate in Russian, they are forced to apply their knowledge and skills, which helps them develop confidence in communicating in a foreign language.
3. Avoiding translation: Translation can slow down the learning process and lead to insufficient understanding. Conducting lessons in the language being studied helps students to think directly in Russian, bypassing the translation stage.
Note that children, like adults, absorb grammatical structures from their own language experience much better and faster than through memorization and rule analysis. By the age of three, a child is proficient in their native language, making minimal and rare grammatical errors.
