Difficulty

It is not difficult to learn the language, there are no difficult or less difficult languages! Just pretend a native-speaker of any language and go on learning, it’s the only way! :) no distance between you and the language you study or speak!

Phonetics

Do you know why phonetics is so important? Why it is so much studied and its significance can’t be overestimated? We can understand people with accents and they can understand native-speakers. But thing is - the more Russian accent you have? the more Russian you become, the more your brain trains to cope with the Russian language. Phonetics is the base of your language! You may not know a lot of words, grammar rules and expressions, but your sounds make you sound Russian!

Russian culture

Was thinking about russian culture and how to study russian culture. our professors in the university were always trying to make us love russian historical and cultural heritage… well, they are right may be to say that it is part of our mentality, but they are so mistaken to think that modern radio, literature and TV is not worth listening to, reading and watching for foreigners! How would people from other countries make there opinion about Russia if they only listen to cultural radio programms and going to dull concerts of these professors’ daughters?!
That’s ridiculious!
I have to show and teach so much authentiс real russian realities as i can!
Music, books, people - everything is changing from day to day, and to catch up with life one should have up-to-date information!
But surely - it’s teachers’ work in the beginning - choose the best for the students!
