How hard is it to learn Russian?

Pretty hard. You have to be really good with languages. It took me quite a while to learn Spanish, so it WILL take a lot of work, but you can do it!! Good luck!

russian is really easy:)) I learnt it in about a year:) deffinatly learn it:) its worth it! :D XXX

You know I believe anyone can learn anything!It just depends on how much effort you are willing to put in it. I have a love for languages. The fastest way to learn a language is to go study it where it is being spoken.In that way you will be forced to speak the language.I learnt spanish in 6 months , I went to cuba to learn it. I’m not saying you should go to Russia,but it is a good I dea if you are seriously into it.Or why don’t you buy that language software called Rosseta Stone.Studying a language from it is the equivalence of studying 4 years in university GOOD LUCK!

Russian is relatively easy to learn, compared to other languages. The only hard part is learning the new alphabet, but in about a month you’ll be sounding out Russian words. In Russian, there are no articles like “the” or “an”, and it is a much more direct language than most others. For example, if you wanted someone to pass you salt, in English you would say, “Please pass me the salt”. But in Russian, it would be translated as, “Give salt please”. Just say please to make it polite. Other examples would be “Я программист”, which translates as “I programmer”.

I would say learn Russian, because it’s easier than most other languages. After you’ve mastered that, go onto others, like German (which is more difficult than English, trust me. I took 3 years or German and only 1 of Russian, and I speak better Russian!), or Spanish.

Hope this helps!

I’m learning russian at the moment in school- I’m in year 8. I was chosen wit about 15 other people, but there’s only 7 of us learning it. I have only been learning since october, and have learnt basic greetings, numbers, nationalities, family and at the moment looking at food. my teacher wants us all to do GCSE, but I was just wondering, would it be easy to do it in year 9, or my other option is to start italian in year 9 and do the GCSE in year 10???

please advise (sorry, I know im meant to be answering, not asking!!!) but my answer, is yeah, it is quite easy if you have a good teacher, some people to practise the language with and if you just “hang in there” it’ll all be fine!!! :P
