Default Re: Learning Russian

Oh boy. Ohhhh boy. Godspeed.

ps Alphabet and reading is by far the easiest part. We read exactly the way its written, no tricks or missing sounds (like "th" or "oo" or "e" at the end in English). Speaking on a "I understands u, u understands me, ve is fiends" level not a big problem either. But gramma, spelling and writing - we spend 10 years studying the language at school and still almost noone can write correctly. Understanding the oral I guess may be a problem too due to a big number of dialects and slang.
