About Russian and English languagrs
I have one very speculative, but pretty interesting thought about my native Russian language and English, which I have been studying the last time. I guess, English helps to bring your thinking to more structured and logical form, while Russian often leads your thoughts away the topic, that was chosen firstly. The point is that English has very strict structure. U can't just change words' sequence the way u want, cause noun has its own place, and verb has an another one. So u need to have exact vision of what you want to say before your speech's beginning. But in Russian we have no strict rules for words' order in sentence, so u can start your talk even without exact purpose of statement... So, I think, Russians are less able to conduct their own speech because of degrees of freedom in language.
And what do you think?

My Theory about the Russian and English Languages
I have one somewhat interesting, but highly speculative thought about the difference between my native Russian language and that of English, which I have studied in the past. Although, admittedly, I am guessing, but in my opinion, English helps to give your thinking a more structured and logical form, while Russian often leads your thoughts away the topic that was initially chosen. The point I am trying to make is that English has a very strict sentence structure—you cannot just change the sequence of the words any way that you want, as nouns have their own place, and so do verbs. In that respect, I feel that you need to have exact vision of what you want to say before you begin speaking or writing. However, within the Russian language, there are no strict rules regarding a word’s order in sentence, and as a result, you can start speaking or writing without having an exact purpose. Consequently, I think that we Russians are less able to manage or to monitor our own speaking and writing due to the degree of freedom found in the construction in language. What do you think?*/**
Hi, Anna. Good job! Whatever change I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. My sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you, Jonathan.
*I have no knowledge of the Russian language, and only slightly more in English, so I cannot intelligently even hazard a guess as to the truth of your theory. However, it would seem that given all the literary classics that Russia has provided to the world, that there had to be, and is, some logical system behind the language. Otherwise, in my opinion, the translators, who had to make sense of what had been written earlier, were even more talented than the writers were!
**I can assure you that, even as an English speaker, sadly, I often find myself speaking without an exact purpose more times than I care to admit! (*-^)
