Language Recently, my friend complained me that Russian is a very difficult language. I asked him why did he decid so? He replied that some sounds are very difficult to pronounce correctly. Russian is a language with a strange alphabet, hard pronunciation and reputation of one of the most difficult languages to learn. I objected that the English language also has sounds difficult to pronounce. Then he said that in Russian there are cases, declensions. But for example, there are 14 cases in Estonian... And there is no future time... For them," I go "or" I will go " is said the same way. Russian language is not the most difficult in cases, conjugations. Even if we don’t take the rare languages to the 26th case, in the same French has the gender, and conjugation. We don’t mention the fact that French high schools still teach Latin, and it also has declensions and cases. And English grammar has difficulties, too. For example, there are a lot of a number of grammatical times. Try to figure out it, what and when it uses, and grammar still has most of my favorite articles. It is also worth noting the use of such particles as "Ли". Of course, a foreigner can safely do without it. But in the speech of Russian, it is always there. And, having heard «Надо ли? », «Вряд ли!" etc., he will be bewilderment. You need know the essence of these phrases, as this particle is included in some stable combinations. In fact, "Ли" is like English «whether», thanks to which it is possible to enter an indirect question into the sentence. Here, for example, such a sentence: "He asked the librarian whether he could take another book". From English it translates as: " Он спросил библиотекаря, можно ли взять другую книгу." It is enough for a foreigner to draw an analogy, and he will not be surprised by a piece of "Ли". In my opinion, each language has its difficulties, but there is nothing impossible. Although, if you want to know the language well you need improve regularly. It is normally it is what we do with native language. We read, talk, listen to news, learn new words.
