Russian linguage vs English. The hardest things. When I say about the hardest thing in study English, of course I mean aspects that hard for me. And believe me, there is a lot of problem, that Russian native speaker can find during studying English. Problem #1 'A lot of tenses (times?) In Russia we have actually 3 tenses - Past, Present, Future. We dont have progressive or perfect and etc. Of course, we can say if we want "I drink water" and "I am drinking water all day' and you know what? It will be sound the same " я пью воду" IIn Russia there is a little mistake about English, like 12 tenses ( What??) Of coure there is only 3 tenses, and other things is just additions. to clarify what we want to say, in our linguage we hve a lot of prefix and suffixes, that made our speech more simply and clear to speak. For English native speaker these prefix suffixes and etc. things is to difficult like you tenses for us. There is a giganic problem. Problem#2 An accent. Yes, You know what I want to say. There is a sooo funny and suddently huge problem for Russin native speaker. By the way, a lot of people, who studying English, even dont kmow about their awful accent. i know this is not our fall, In Russian there is no one word sound like "TH". I have been studying English about 5 years and still have some problems with the sound. not to mention about sonds "T", "D" and "W". A lot of Russian spekers say " W like a "V" in the word "Vanity". You have to learning English about 2 years to understand it. Problem #3 :Visa Problem" Yes, thats right. For me, there is a so huge problem because of getting visa. Even you are a tourist, its too hard to go in US or Englang. Yu have to got a looot of money, a lot of different document and ect. the best way to improve your English is go to the Europe or America, looking for some native speaker friends, and if you cant do it, yor motivation fot studying Englush is dissapear. Thank you for attention :)
