I have been learning the Russian language from 2013. At that time, I was 13. Now I have a small vocabulary (app.600-700 words) :wacky: . I started learning the language because of my love for USSR and Russian culture, and of course, the sounds of the language are sooooo fascinating!! :love: The main difficulties I face is the stress pattern, the case-endings (I am struggling with the instrumental case), the aspects. I know there are other things to be discovered :frozen: . But I am determined to learn it! I did not find any huge problems with the pronunciation. The only difficulty is differentiating between ш and щ. The soft-sign took some time but now I have almost mastered it.
