It's easy if your lanuage is based in Latin.

I was only 2 years old and I managed to learn it. Pretty easy I'd say.

Will take you a while though because Aussies are dumb as fucking nails.

True. There are very few Euros who learn Russian well. It would take total immersion. Anything less will just be enough to get around.

Nothing wrong with that, other than we do not want any of you here.

Yes, only later. In 1st grade you can start learning German/Russian/French from 1st grade in addition to Finnish.

Kek, I only took the basic class. We only learned basic sentences and numbers.

Some people used to sniff glue here in the 90s, too.

Lived in Almaty for a year and i learned enough to get around and even shoot the shit through my colleagues and riding in gypsy taxis. Can't write in Russian tho.

Can someone translate this sign? I used to always walk past it and it interested me. The top half is in Kazakh so ignore that bit.

I found it too hard. The pronunciation and the fact all the words are about 20 letters long made it difficult to remember words. Which made learning very frustrating.
>>
>>53072915
>Anyone here learnt Russian?
>How hard was it?

I'm taking a Russian class starring in March this year. I understand just very, very little, and I'm starting from scratch. I expect it to be not that easy.
>>
>>53077027
To be fair, all languages have words that aren’t in English. You will never have an easy time with that. It’s true that it’s hard, and it’s a good reason why language learning is not worth it in my opinion.
>>
>>53076656
>w-we don't have a drunkard problem!

Qt Russians speak it at work all the damn time. I'd love for them to teach me.
>>
>>53077362

I found it more difficult than other languages i played with.

The lack of cognates, the vaguely similar pronunciation and new alphabet made it very difficult to remember and recognise them.

These are just the words beginning with п in the first 100 words on a memrise course.


пoлyчaть, пpoбoвaть, пpaвитeльcтвo, пoкaзaть, пpoблeмa, пpихoдить, плaтить, пpoцeнт.
>>
>>53077877
Out of all languages in the world, one taken at random would be one with “the lack of cognates, the vaguely similar pronunciation and a new alphabet”. In general, a person can’t learn a langauge. There has to be some huge coincidence of motivation or talent.

you wot? latin languages have 0 to do with slavic languages.

it would be nice if some russians of you caqn answer me some questions i plan to visit st.petersburg or moskau next winter

how much do you pay for a good lunch at a restaurant ?
do you need to speak russian or is english ok ?
what do the most people think of germans ?
is there any problem for black people ? (black gf)
>>
>>53078401
You won’t be understood if you speak English. It will be very lonely. You shouldn’t came alone.
>is there any problem for black people ? (black gf)
Just more attention than usual. She will probably feel uncomfortable.
>what do the most people think of germans ?
huh?
>>
>>53078401
>how much do you pay for a good lunch at a restaurant ?
about 70-80$

>do you need to speak russian or is english ok ?
most of russian don't understand both of this languages.

>what do the most people think of germans ?
don't care.

>is there any problem for black people ? (black gf)
No. But you but you shouldn't go to some shithole like Dumskaya street.

sorry for my bad english
>>

i meant if i germany are welcome or not

>>53078663
better then mine
is there a way i can get away from the tourist places and get a better look in the real culture and normal day life of you people ?
>>
>>53078663
>>how much do you pay for a good lunch at a restaurant ?

Per person or for two?

"Either of these languages"

No one cares about your nationality, it’s not a race, is it?
>>
>>53078399
He probably means that it has more similarities to Russian, compared to English which has fewer.
>>
>>53078962
Still makes little sense. I’m pretty sure Russian is not closer to French than it is to German.
>>
>>53078401
I just got back from Russia, and being able to speak and understand Russian was basically mandatory outside of the touristy areas in St. Petersburg and Moscow. My gf is Russian and I would've been fucked without her. If you stay in those cities you'll be fine though.

I don't think I paid more than 2000 rubles for any meal. That would be for two people.

Russians won't care about your nationality or race, especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
>>
>>53077266
Shouldn't be too hard for you in my opinion, just focus on speaking as the Russians do and don't take unnecessary influence from Croatian.

He's probably not aware of German in the first place. Also in my experience Germans do a poor job of learning Russian.
