The language uses the cyrillic alphabet which can sometimes be confusing with the alphabet you're familiar with in the English language; but in comparison to some other languages (especially asian scripts) cyrillic is quite easy to learn because a lot of the characters resemble English characters. Also, most Russian words can be pronounced in only one way. This differs greatly with English words which can have many, many accents. Russian sentence structure is also simplified. A lot of pronouns that are used in the English language are non-existant in the Russian language. The Russian language also uses a lot of cognates and conjunctions; much like Spanish, Japanese Katakana, or Chinese conjunctions.
