Why is Russian so hard to learn? (My experience)

I'm Russian. Why did I just watch a 10 minute video of how to speak my own language?

In russian you read молоко and say малако. In english you read queue and say q. Thank you english

As a Russian speaker I really like how precisely and deeply the author described the main challenges in Russian. Definitely I would recommend this video to all Russian learners

По твоей речи видно , что ты провел очень большую работу над произношением . Даже представить себе не могу , насколько это сложно . Вообще красавчик

I've been using English at work as I'm a developer in UK company. Но мой родной язык русский. И каждый раз, когда меня начинают бесить фразовые глаголы, артикли, perfect tenses, conditional sentences, I start watching videos where foreigners explain how and why Russian is so difficult to learn. И сразу на душе спокойно 😅

Как русскоговорящий могу сказать, что ваша речь очень впечатляет, реально лучший акцент и произношение из всех блогеров кто учит русский!

I'm Russian, who's trying to learn French. There are so many things that do not make any sense in French for me, but every time I get frustrated by exceptions or legacy rules, I imagine that at this very moment a person from France is trying to learn Russian and suffers more than I do. It comforts me.

"Никто никому ничего не должен". There are four negations in the sentence! It seems to be very awkward for native English speakers.😂❤ Thank you for making me look at my language from the outside!

Это так прикольно: наблюдать как кто-то учит твой язык:) Удачи вам! А я пойду английский учить...

As a Russian speaker, I want to tell you about you have a very good speech and pronunciation. Well done 👍

I was trying to learn russian during covid but stopped, then when I went to Moscow and St. Petersburg last month and stayed for 4 weeks I loved the culture and its people and continued to learn the language!

I'm in the very beggining, using the Assimil Course. I feel like a child getting literate for the first time. New alphabet, absolutely new words... It's very fun, but at the same time scary. My goal is to be able to read poems and prose in russian, especially the old authors like Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, etc. And be able to have a good conversation. Hope i can get this level in 2 years

As Russian, I must say that your accent almost can't be noticed. That's a great job!

когда вы перешли к теме совершенных и несовершенных глаголов, я прям прослезился. в таких логических мякотках и есть прикол русского языка. и самим русским далеко не всем легко это даётся - я помню начальную школу, как многие тупили на подобных темах и хватали двояки. эх, смотрю на вас, и тоже захотелось изучить какой-нибудь новый сложный язык, дать себе новый вызов, так сказать. вы молодец.

Спасибо всем, кто учит русский! Давайте дружить, общаться и учить языки друг друга! Всем мира и добра 🥰

Dude your language skills are just amazing. You can easily swith between both your non native languages and you are doing it without accent !

Учу английский, смотря на русский с их точки зрения. Это реально лайфхак

I am a native Russian speaker and a language nerd so just for fun I’ve taken a course of teaching Russian as foreign language. And damn…. I’ve always known it’s a hard language but looking at it from a foreigner’s perspective…. it’s just intolerable. Prepositions literally made me cry. Rooting for anyone who is brave enough to start this language

Damn, I'm a native Spanish speaker and I sometimes realize that that language is also very difficult, because we have a lot of changes in the words for each time and case, and it has accent marks which can change the meaning of the words. And I'm on my way to learn Russian

Great, I "learned" some Russian at high school (not compulsory) for 3 years, one hour per week. 55 years ago. My motiv was to also learn a slavic language. German native, English fluent, Latin, French soso. Anyway visited Russia some years ago , Moskva and St Peterburg. Amazing how many signs I could read, buy tickets, dine out, it was fun. Presently reviving/learning two other languages from the past , but Russian is on my scope for after them. I like your entry lesson, nothing new, but very well presented. Spion in German is very close with Russian, in writing and pronounciation. Kitan for China/-ese is a very interesting historical root. All the best. I would prefer to call Russian a rich language, not a difficult one.
