Why enroll in a college if we have learn_russian? :))

Learning from online communities is about the same as learning from books (which I have been!): great, you can improve your reading/writing, but you don't work on your pronounciation or comprehension.

All I know is that, when the Russians write my name in Russian, and I translate it back into English using Babelfish, I get "Aybum" back. *g*

Brad, just ask us, Russian lj-users! :-)
Seriously, if you need some practice with the native speaker - welcome.

Followed a link here from a post in learn_russian and just wanted to let you know that русский язык is how you call the language Russian—русский by itself means a Russian.

Yeah, you're brave man. I always was amazed by people who start to learn Russian... from my point of view there's only one way to do it (yet it still not perfect) - to be born Russian :-)

good lack, anyway!

Good luck!!! But why you want to learn Russian?)))

(Reply) (Thread)

For fun, for a challenge, to exercise that part of my brain that's otherwise unused.

What do you need Russian for, Brad?
Gonna hunt for Russian girls?

(Reply) (Thread)

If that were my goal, I think English would work well enough.

I wish you good luck with learning Russian! Taking classes is the best choice since it can give an ordered knowledge of the basics. And if you need to get some word or phrase explained in an enourmous amount of meanings - you may always query a proper russian community. ;-)) You'll definitely get a feedback ;-)
I think that's the best way it'll work :)

Russian, along with German and Chinese languages, is certainly one of the most difficult to master. However, you have already mastered German so you must have a facility for languages, which helps. Also, you will have the added advantage of being able to speak Russian in daily life with Dina, which will be a tremendous help. My husband's grandfather, a Slovak who lived the early years of his life near the Russian border, spoke fluent Russian he learned simply by interacting with Russians in daily life.

And how is German one of the most difficult exactly?
