What's the hardest part about learning Russian? - I'm thinking Verb Conjugation and Plurals.

[Alex Hogendorp]

I've actually started learning it since 2018 but only recently started picking up the pace when I become tempted to learn more.

the part when you have to jerk off to Putins toe pics, and then learn to drink chidlren blood during the winter

Translating "hot dog with no bun" into traditional Russian euphemism.

Honestly, I won't recommend you learn Russian unless you have someone you can actively speak it to regularly, as going from English and Latin languages in general to Russian is a brutal jump, near impossible alone.

Learn something that will actively benefit you more and that you'll have better ease jumping into, like Fr*nch or even better Spanish/Portuguese.

Edit: I'm illiterate like a dog, the hardest part of the language is 100% learning the pronunciation of the different "H" sounds that again, the Latin and English-speaking world is not used to doing.

Luckily I've been learning quite a lot of Spanish and it's going pretty easy. It's actually my top priority language right now.

All those inflections and cases will be tough, reminds me a lot of Classical Latin. At least with Latin, Romance languages and English to a lesser extent are closely related which helps.

There's probably some interesting history behind why Russian is still so heavily inflected while other Indo-European languages in western and central Europe simplified them so much. Maybe it has to do with when Indo-European speakers migrated to the region, but then again Romanian is a Romance language and has the closest grammar to Latin of all of them.

He can speak to me.

@Lunar Eclipse Paradox you can speak (or write) to me. I spell perfectly. (I do have a speech impediment but it's just occasional stuttering when SPICKING FROMM MAI HART. I can read just fine -- I used to record messages for hotlines part-time -- and I won't mispronounce words.)

The worst part of Russian is verb prefixes but it's like with any language, if you don't know the word, you don't know the word. They're no worse than English phrasal verbs. Just read more.

The second-worst part is word stress rules, as in, there aren't any lmao. Unfortunately reading more won't help here.

Learn Lithuanian first. Then Russian will be easy.

I got most of the Cyrillic alphabet memorized and can pretty much read it. It's easier to memorize than Japanese Kana which I got pretty much most of it down. I'll let you know if my Russian progressed but right now I'm heavily focusing on Spanish but Japanese and Russian are second top priority.

If you learn Russian I will rp with you in it, it’ll be good practice.

all i know is шлюха means sunshine, so if you wanna impress a girl there you go.

also the hardest part about learning russian is to live like one.

average russian household: In mother russia, wife hits you (back).

 

[Alex Hogendorp]

My mother notices my voice sounds deeper when I speak Russian.

Lithuanian isn't that bad. The case system is actually pretty intuitive. I think the first one I got down was the vocative because I had people yelling at me a lot for being a retard, lol. But you have to have a lot of autism to want to learn it because it isn't particularly useful beyond to dunk on your other linguist autist friends or if you have Lithuanian friends and family. It may also require that you change your name to speak it. Like my first name can't be used nor my last name without a lot of revision.

 

[Harbinger of Kali Yuga]

the worst part of learning Russian is being able to communicate with Russians
