about the difficulty of learning russian
As a russian speaking anon I can tell you that russian is a very difficult language to learn. It is an extremely rich language with many synonyms for each word, also it has many euphamisms THAT ARE VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU DONT GET THE RUSSIAN MENTALLITY. TRY WATCHING RUSSIAN STANDUP COMEDY WITH SUBTITLES, IF YOU WERE NOT RAISED IN THAT MENTALITY YOU WIL SEE THE JOKES AS BEING STRANGE AND NOT FUNNY, WHILE THE CROWD IS ON THE FLOOR.
