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 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?

Hi, russian was my first language but because i live in america
I forgot it cuz my parents divorced (my WHOLE family is from russia)
and my mom remarried an american.
I have a special talent for languages, i picked up spanish in a year.
How long would it take for me to learn russian again?
will it one day come back? is that even possible?
and i plan to live in russian when i grow up an go to university there.

I am a college student majoring in Criminal Justice and I am considering taking courses in either of these two languages. We have a great professor here who apparently is great at teaching kids the Russian language but I am curious as if their is any need to learn Russian or should i just go with Arabic

I know nothing of either languages, but I want to learn them both. If I tried learning them at the same time, would it just turn out badly?

I've always had a thing to learn Russian. Is there any program (price don't matter to me) where it will teach it right and very detailed? like step by step on how to write it and read it? And is there a free website that teaches Russian?

PS. Also, Hewbrew is a language i'd like to learn, but i know it'll be hard to learn.

Why these languages? don't ask, i have my reasons. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

MY age: 16, but don't underestimate me, i pick up languages fast.

I've studied Mandarin for 2 years and I'm alright at it, I can understand the basic talk. I've learnt Italian for 6 years but never got really far with it, I can say the basics as well but I wouldn't really go far in a conversation. English is my native tongue, and I was looking at languages and I wanted to learn a language that wasn't too common like french or spanish. Is russian hard? I usually pick up languages fairly quickly, as they seem to have a nack for them. Any advice?

The idea of this, perhaps not new, mutual learning a foreign language by Skype, where to find these volunteers? course if they have?
I like interesting following languages:
Spanish, Italian, French, German, English, the latter somehow speak within the primary level. movies certainly have not translating, but English can be the key for other languages, unintelligible words to write in a chat, and then transferred either by using machine translation dictionaries, or based on other words to try to catch the meaning ...

I like both languages but I don't know which one to learn first. Also, which one is easier to learn?

Is it possible to start to learn Russian and Greek at the same time, like in school, you learn English and German.

Would it be to hard to learn those languages at the same time, and how long would it take ... ? How long should i study at day.

My daughter is exposed to 4 languages at the same time. We live in a bilingual city (Montreal). In addition, my monther-in-law speaks Italian, and I speak Russian to my daughter. It is hard to eliminate any of the languages. However, I feel that my daughter is behind compare to other kids of the same age. Do you have any tips (maybe websites or books) that would help to improve her language skills. For now, the only advice that I got is that each person should use only One language talking to my daughter.
Thank you

how did that happend?
I did not say that they were commonly used, i said that russian is commonly using them which means something else.

The question is still why. I know that many languages are using foreign words, so my question is more... how did they became used...in which circumstances?

Which languages would be the most useful: Greek, Russian or Czech?

I already speak English, German and Danish, which would be the hardest to learn for me, and which would be the easiest?

I'm really interested ind languages, so i wan't to learn them all, but which would be the best to start with?

I know these two languages share some vocabulary words, but how similar are they exactly? Are they as close as Spanish and Italian or English and German? Is the difference between Russian and Ukrainian like the difference between Spanish spoken in Spain and Spanish spoken in Mexico?

Could a person understand Russian just by learning Ukrainian, and vice versa?

Thank you.

How do you say "smooth, easy writing" in chinese, french, spanish, arabic, russian, hindu, and german?

And if anyone knows of fonts that can be downloaded, of these languages that would be great!

I'm trying to make some promotional advertising for a marketing class and need some other languages incorporated into my presentation

I can. People who don't and are learning it, do you find it difficult? I didn't.
How many other languages can you speak?

I'm almost 15, and I've decided that I want to learn Russian. I realize that it's ranked pretty high on the list of challenging languages, but I want to see how far i can go.

When is the best time to being learning?
I'm planning to try Rosetta Stone first, and then take Russian classes in college.
Does anyone know a college that provides Russian classes? I've attempted research, but i can't find anything in my own state.

since my husband's Russian and I get left out of conversations often.
He knows 3 languages.

Can someone just please translate Born to Lose, Built to Win in any of the 3 languages specified in the title? Answered in a timely manner would be awesome, just please be accurate

I plan on applying to work for the World Bank in a couple of years. I already know English and I've been taking German for the past two years...but it's not on their list for needed languages, so I guess I should gain some basic knowledge in one of these two.

I am a political science major and need to take a language course in college. I have always had a strange fascination with Russian culture, history, and politics. What are some good reasons to learn the Russian language? What are the benefits of the language, especially in the field of politics/international relations? I know the language is difficult to learn when compared to Spanish, French, German, etc. However, Russian is considered the "easiest of the hard languages." I don't think I should shy away from the language, however, just because of its difficulty......

Supposing I know the alphabet of both languages (read and write), I know some about declensions, and if I can speak English, Spanish and a little of French and German, which would be the most difficult for me (or anybody) and why?

Not interested in other languages. Which of these three would be best for a Corpsman to know?

I know that looking at a website written in Korean or something really makes my head hurt. I don't understand how someone can understand that.
I don't only speak ENGLISH, I'm fluent in five languages. I posted a question about Swedish earlier, that's why she answered in that.

I wasn't talking about the "LETTERS" or the "GRAMMAR", I was talking about the "SYMBOLS".

Because I always get the accent mixed up so I was wondering how similar the languages are.

I'm a novice at both languages and plan to use Rosetta Stone and a few other books to learn them...I know linguistically they are not very similar like Spanish and French....Thanks

I want to learn languages so that I can join the CIA when I am older. I would rather not pay. I need to know idioms and figures of speech also.

I am fifteen years old, currently studying no other languages.
How long do you think it would take me? Estimation, of course.
And do you have any tips?
x

People say it's hard... I want to know what the hard stuff is supposed to be, so that I can watch out for it when I study it.
Nina - You mean conjugations? If I'm correct, then how hard is its conjugation rules, compared to languages like Spanish?

i want to speak either language but i haven't had any luck with learning a language so i want to choose 1 language to focus on. which one should i pick and why.
also what would be good books to use to learn either languages.

I love different cultures in the world, and I think it is interesting and fun to speak other languages. I speak Spanish and English, but I would also like speak Russian, Italian,French and German? How about you?

Hey everyone,I want to learn Russian Spanish and Arabic.My mother tongue is Turkish and I speak English fluently.I speak French and I know a little Arabic,Albanian and Italian.I have no idea about Russian.Can you give me an advise on how to learn these languages?Thanks a lot!

I am interesting in possibly starting some Russian classes, how difficult has it been for some of you to learn and how long has it taken you to have some ability to understand conversations and be able to respond to questions (basic conversation). I am a native Spanish and English speaker, picked up Portuguese in under 4 months.. yet it's very similar to Spanish so i wouldn't say I have an affinity for languages.

Also, I go to UCB so I have great resources for learning Russian.

Suppose, for instance, a person is born to Russian parents who only speak Russian to the child, and the child learns English elsewhere. When this child speaks to a native Russian, would they be able to detect via his accent that he is not from Russia, or would the child simultaneously have (supposing they immigrated to the US) an American accent when speaking English and a Russian accent when speaking Russian? I'd be inclined to think that a child would have an American accent in both languages, though their American accent would much less pronounced in Russian than it would be for an American who learned Russian later in life. But who knows.

Especially foreigners whose mother tongue is one of the Latin/Germanic based languages like English,German,Italian,French or Spanish. Since the phonetic system of those languages is completely different from the Russian phonetic system.

I guess it's theoretically possible because, in contrast, as a native Russian speaker, I became fluent in English after 3 years of living in America and completely lost my accent after about 5 years. But then again I started learning English at a very young age. Do you think a middle-aged foreigner would be able to learn Russian to such an extent that he can speak it like a native speaker?
