Chapter 5. Some problems in studying Russian

Kevin, Italy

Nataya, Thailand

«Russian is the most difficult language to study. It is difficult to me to understand your grammar. I can’t remember the meaning of words because they have the different endings. Russian words change so much»

Margaret, Italy

«It is easier to me to understand and speak Russian, than to write. There are a lot of punctuation marks, especially commas »

«Your language is beautiful, but there are many long words. Your sounds are difficult for pronouncing»

Olesio, Italy

« I like Russia and your beautiful language. There are a lot of tender words. They call me “Sarochka”.

Sarah, Germany

Is it easy to learn Russian for foreigners?

No!

• 1. Difficult letters for pronunciation are hissing letters, letters и-ы, ь, ъ. For example foreigners say words «коска, саска» instead of «кошка, чашка»

• 2.It’s difficult to understand soft consonants. For example they say a word «осэн» instead of «осень».

• 3. It is difficult to understand alternation of consonants.

• 4. A huge number of hissing and whistling sounds.

• Genders are difficult. For example in Russian we have tree (it), birch (she), poplar (he).

• Russian words change so much. For example, it is possible to hear in foreigner’s speech : «Мой жена пришёл из работа».

• Plurals are different. Compare: tables, books, trees. – столы, книги, деревья.

• There are a lot of punctuation marks: commas, semicolon, dash, colon, dots.

• There are some difficulties in direct speech. (If the author’s words are at the beginning you have to put the colon. If the author’s words are at the end you have to put the dash.

• Difference in writing and pronunciation. For example: вода – [вада], праздник – [празник], дуб- [дуп], жил – [жыл].

• The particle «не» is written with words separately or in a one word.

• Difficulties in understanding idioms, proverbs, sayings, riddles.

• For example, « Красна изба пирогами». The foreigners ask: « Зачем красить избу пирогами?»
