I speak English as my first and only language.

I am very interested in learning how to speak Russian and possibly German. How difficult is it to learn Russian as my second language?

Is it difficult? What are the main difficulties? How long does it tend to take to learn how to speak such a different language?

I am a native english speaker and i can speak german fluently. I am 14 years old and I was wondering if it would be easy to learn russian without rosetta stone. I am aware how to learn languages without rosetta stone and I am familiar with the russian alphabet and basic words. So would this be an easy thing to learn?
I am also aware that the language does not use articals and is very very literal.

I'm spending the next 6 months in St. Petersburg for my study abroad program (so excited) and was wondering if anyone who speaks Russian can tell me if I really apply myself if Ill become fluent. I'm studying Russian literature and was also wondering if Tolstoy, Doestoevsky, etc are a good way to learn (I hear they're much more beautiful in Russian). Thanks for any help!

I am Canadian, of half Russian ancestry. I have a passion to learn the language; I already know a fair amount of basic vocabulary and can read/write/speak at a very basic level. How long should it take of intense studying to become fluent?

By the way I am already perfectly fluent in English (clearly) and French, as I am half french aswell. So I'm not too worried about grammar.

I am fluent in English and Latin. The Latin was mandatory in my high school, but now I would really like to learn Russian to the point where I could hold a substantial conversation and write at a basic level. How long would it take, assuming I kept up with my studying and practice? I know that it certainly won't be as easy to learn as Latin was, since Latin is very similar to English whereas Russian has a completely different alphabet.

I have an interest in learning Russian, however I have heard that many other languages are easier to learn. If English is my first language, will Russian be too hard to master?

I Plan to Go to Russia in a Few years and want to know the quickest way to learn The Russian Language.

I only speak English fluently, but took Latin for 3 years. I really just find Russian to be a beautiful language, and have lately found interest in learning a new one..so I figured why not Russian? How long on average do you think it takes, and is it hard for an English speaker?

Also, any resources for a place to learn it fluently would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I am currently going to school at a community college to specifically learn Russian. It seems to be going alright but the idea of spending thousands of dollars on a education I feel I can get in a matter of months by going to Russia and speaking it seems silly to me. What are some options I have? Are there jobs I can get in Russia without a degree? I can teach English, but all of the places I have looked at want a BA to work. Any ideas?

Is there a way to learn Russian, even when in Canada? Because from what I can tell there isnt really any places where you can have a professional teach you Russian. Is there any books or programs in which i can learn Russian?
