The most difficult is to go out of the linguisitic structures which you got through your own mother language.
Though russians are very close to westerners they think and write differently – and if you learn Russian you must write as often as possible and find reliable russians in order to correct you and explain why -
Don’t expect something easy – Russian is not a three-weeks miracle language – no work – no patience – no russian -
Otherwise the most difficult feature of russian is its extreme
"irregularity" – few rules and so many exceptions –
This language requires much love and patience -
Sorry – your questions – tenses are very simple ( for me ) but verbs are very irregular – must know them one by one
the most difficult case is the feminine plural genitive – horrible -
The best to do is to find a really shrewed native teacher, trust him ( her ) and work as much as possible – in a deep agreement –
I have been learning russian for seven years – and feel it will never end – that’s vielikoliepni ( wonderful )
noun cases are many
Verbs of motion!!!
Also the perfect and imperfect verb forms- eeeesh!!!
The best way is to have a teacher, a good book and to speak, speak, speak!!!
participles
Spelling coz whatever u are pronouncing and writing is different a bit Moreover being an english speaking person u will found out some grammar aspects that u cannot find in english like deeprichastie.
I speak Russian fluently. To be honest with you, for non-Russian speaker it will be very difficult to learn this language.
I learned English. Do I still have accent? Yes. Is it still difficult?
Sometimes. I think English is really wonderful language. Sometimes I speak it quite well and sometimes not at all. Should have put more effort into it. And I came to North America when I was 20. It makes a difference. But I do encourage you to learn. The best to you.
In terms of grammar – 1) perfective and imperfective aspects of verbs, 2) Russian particles, 3) conjugations, 4) verb cases.
In terms of pronunciation – 1) the sound "y" like in the Russian word "pyshki" ("donuts") that all Americans tend to pronounce as "pooshki" ("cannons"), 2) the sound "R" (like in "traktor" ("tractor")) that sounds like Spanish "r", 3) the softenning of consonants in the end of the word. Examples: the word "vesj" ("all of it", "complete", "the whole") native English speakers tend to pronounce as "ves" ("weight"), and the word "zhestj" ("sheet metal") as "zhest" ("gesture").
