Yes, I had this same thread last night...
It didn't work out very well.
I just made a fool out of myself.
Luke Powell
Why would you need to learn it?
Luke Nelson
Кaк?

>anglos in charge of learning a language
Evan Phillips
Bored, and because my wife and I have visited Russia and really enjoyed it. Figured I may as well pick up a foreign language where the inhabitants rarely know English (other than China, Russia has had the lowest number of English speakers of any country I've been to)
Kevin Murphy
no language is so hard if you like it, you're just dumb
Blake Evans
Pronunciation maybe, but isn't the grammar easy compared to English for example?
For example "Кaк дeлa?" which is "how are you"? It's literally just Кaк = how and дeлa = "fare", "how fare?".
Ryan Sanchez
>Pronunciation maybe, but isn't the grammar easy compared to English for example?
I agree with this to some degree. The Cases/Declensions are a nightmare for me personally though since I never encounter it in English.
Parker Sanchez
absolutely no. Grammatical genders, roles, abscense of definite and indefinite articles etc. Anglos can't comprehend that
Christian Edwards
Just bee yourself. Works for me
Angel Robinson
why the fuck would an american want to know russian? Are you working for putin trying to rig our elections again?
Chase Lewis
Underaged retarded soviboos.
Like wehrboos but even more cringy.
Adrian Diaz
You don't have to know/speak russian for rigging elections. Dumbass.

Noah Harris
Can't speak for OP, but honestly it's a pretty nice language and Russian internet culture seems pretty dope.
Christian Gonzalez
Learning things because you need it is for brainlets
Chase Howard
My father learned Russian during his time with the CIA in the 70’s. No idea what he did but it must have been cool. Or as a translator.
Caleb Rogers
indeed
I had russian in school and I don't know a thing. then again I wasn't a good student, but still
Evan Scott
My wife and I would like childeren in 5 or so years. We both think it would be cool if we could raise the kid in a b-lingual household. Not to mention itd be useful for future trips to Russia.
Also.

Isaac Rivera
All of English-speaking Canada has French lessons in school, yet none of them leave school being able to function in French at any level whatsoever.
School language lessons are often a gigantic meme. Heck, even the obligatory English lessons in much of Quebec are a joke.
Lucas Diaz
Not everyone has to work 12 hours a day to scrape by with a miserable existence like you Ivan.
Nicholas Reyes
Then how do people learn a second lesson?
Nicholas Gonzalez
By actually wanting to learn it (and then either taking lessons or self-teaching). Generally, if you want to actually reach a respectable level (B1 or above), it also implies said people investing a few hours of their time each week to activities related to language learning.
Compare that to schoolchildren who are completely uninterested in the language being taught, and who only have one hour a week of language-learning, and you can quickly see why it doesn't actually work.
Joshua Nelson
no.
english is mandatory and then you have to pick a second language. in my school it was either german or russian. I figured russian would be easier, since it's slavic and all, but those cases killed me. bulgarian has no cases, so I just never got used to it. luckily it was only 3 years.
Joseph Hernandez
That doesn't negate what I said
Nicholas Myers
>assblasted
what other languages don't have cases?
James Howard
>hurr me so smart me learn language that me will never use
Cringe

All of the white dots on this map. Note of course that this is a small sample of languages (less than 600 IIRC), but it gives you an idea of which language families/groups have cases and which ones don't. Of course, language isolates are likely to be poorly represented in such a map.
Michael Clark
Actually, I just realized it's way less than 600, as among the languages in the WALS project only 261 of them have a value attributed for "number of cases".
Ryder Powell
Russian grammar is fucking awful, not as much as ours though.
Grayson Lee
Watch stuff with subtitles.
Makes things much easier.
Josiah Torres
Fuck off Navalny scum!
Asher Gomez
You've made 4+ threads about that shit
What's the problem, you daft cunt?
Cooper Powell
What? This is my first thread on Jow Forums in months.
Ethan Russell
You can learn stuff just because you find learning interesting, or because something interests you, while not being really useful. A world where the only criterion for learning something is its usefulness would be pretty sad desu. Russian is a nice language and russian culture is interesting, this is reason enough to learn it.

I studied English at school for 10 years + 4 years at university. You can learn all of it in a year if you study it yourself without leaving your country. I've studied French for like 3 years, the first year and a half I was concentrated on grammar, but it's kinda waste of time. You constantly see "progress", but can't apply it at practice. If I started learning a language today, after I'd've learnt basic grammar, I'd concentrated most of my time on learning words (Anki) and watching films/series with French subtitles. I knew I was supposed to be constantly watching them, but it was very demotivating that I couldn't understand anything. Only I knew like 6k+ most used words and phrases I started to feel confident with watching kino and listening to casual speech.

No thanks.

Cyrillic letters probably. Bad that commies could not complete transition to latin letters, it would be the only thing that they could do right. Now we will never switch to latin letters.
Jordan Fisher

It's all the same shit.

it's easy, I learned it by watching cartoons and already knew it well by the age of 5

You know, Russian culture is more than just politics right?
Evan Cook
The letters are the easiest part of it.

Are you insane? Do you also believe in le Iraqi WMD? Maybe you still think the Vietnamese are responsible for Gulf of Tonkin incident?

Why would anyone want to learn Mongolian?
Joshua Long
It helps a person learn russian since both are written in cyrillic.
Aaron Morgan
Which 'culture'?

just russian proxies sucking their own dicks.
too many russian flags on Jow Forums though. 2 or 3 very active faggots spamming in every thread.

Human height describes with the word "низкий".
>я ничeгo мoгy cдeлaть
The Russian language uses double negative. "я ничeгo HE мoгy cдeлaть".
