Why it's so hard?
Why it's so hard for me to learn English? I good understand English (now reading "American gods", and watching "friends"). When I try to talk with people, they understand me, but because I don't talking and writing promtly I think I sounds like a steriotipic Russian gangster from movie.
I learn grammar and vacabulary but for me this is hard language.

Why Is It So Hard?
Why is it so hard for me to learn English? I can understand English well (I am even reading "American Gods," and watching "Friends" now…), and when I try to talk with people, they are able to understand me. However, because I do not speak or write fluently, I think I sound like a stereotypical Russian gangster from in the movies.
I will continue to study to learn its grammar and vocabulary, but for me this is a hard language!*
Hi, Anton. Good job! The changes that I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, for clarity your ideas, and for ease of readings. I hope that this helps you. J.
*Everyone learns at his or her own pace, so just be patient. Right now, you are much like an infant learning to stand upright, learning to balance, to coordinate the various parts of its body, but at some point, after much stumbling around, after much frustration, it will all make sense and come together. Then, much like that baby, you will then be off and running around, and getting into mischief! Besides, in the interim, what is bad about speaking like a Russian gangster? (*-^)

When I have problems with pronunciation, I repeat and repeat the word, the expression or the connection of two words, until it sounds equal if an native had pronounced. I start slowly and I do it faster and faster.
I don't know if you already do this, but if you don't, I recommend it.

Firstly, Russian gangsters sound sexy and virile (maybe Lessa sounds more like the Black Widow!!). What's wrong with that? 2 things I just thought of: say "Why is it...." again and again, to stop yourself from saying, "Why it is..." or "Why it's...". Next thing - throw in lots of "a"s and "the"s in. You are hard-wired not to, I understand, but it will sound more English using them lots. For example: I've learned THE grammar and THE vocabulary, but for me this is A hard language. I think you are being too hard on yourself too. You, yourself said, "THEY UNDERSTAND ME".

))Russian gangster, you are not alone. I can say the same about me. Understanding English language and speaking English - these are two different skills.
