How long does it take to get a basic knowledge of the Russian language? Is it very hard to learn (especially the writing)?

liking the website to learn Russian
posted by Stanislav Chernyshov in Russia forum
The website might be good, but it doesn't open, so it's hard to like it. Learning a language on the Net is always easy, it's talking to people that makes a problem then, as you can't really talk to a computer. People learn from people!

Applies to every human language with a developed literature/culture tradition. Depends on how far or deep you want to go. My English isn't probably perfect, and I started learning it in 1979. Also, really depends on what you mean by learning. A good language course can save you a lot of time.
Different writing

Nevermind, with a good language school learning it takes just a few hours. Afterall, there are plenty of Russians who can read and write in English, and English spelling is much more unpredictable, so it should work even better the other way around.
Russian is Russian.

Russian is Russian.
These forms of words are able to drown non-russian speaker.
There is a good dictionary, where you can find any Russian word forms. For example "лететь" :

Russian words game

Hi all, I live in Moscow, and I'll tell you about my feeling about Russian language learning and it's learners. Sometimes I listen to Russian political radio, where you can hear politics from different counties. There are many embassies in Moscow, and sometimes representatives of embassies are invited to the broadcasts. I am proved, that invited people are all professionals which have spent much time for the Russian language. But their Russian is very far from be called perfect! There are a lot of misunderstandings, wrong endings, and very, very strong accents. It's not a problem to become fluent English speaker, but it seems to me, that if you was born in not Slavonic country, your Russian will never reach the level, at which people around you would suggest, that you are 'their guy'.
To tell the truth, Russian grammar also seems to me very difficult.Russian speaks Russian, but very low percent of Russians will tell you, why they used this concrete word form or ending.
Beside non Romanian alphabet, there are many difficult grammar rules. Thus, for example, banality word game!прыгать to jump -
прыжок a jump -
прыганье the jumping
я прыгаю I am jumping
он прыгает he is jumping
мы прыгаем we are jumping
они прыгают they are jumping
оно прыгает it is jumping
я прыгнул I have jumped
Он прыгал he has jumped
она прыгнула she has jumped
мы прыгнули we have jumped
они прыгнули they are jumped
прыгающий мужчина jumping man
прыгающая женщина jumping women
прыгающие люди jumping people
давай прыгнем! Let’s jump!
я сейчас прыгну! I am going to jump
давай прыгать Lets jumping
Джон, Не прыгай! John, don’t jump!lets change 'to jump' to 'to call' we will get:
звонить
звонок
-
я звоню
он звонит
мы звоним
они звонят
оно звонит
звонящий мужчина
звонящая женщина
звонящие люди
давайте позвоним
я собираюсь позвонить
давайте звонить
....
Oh, there is another rule of the ending-forming, because this verb in the other verb-group!As you can see, there are many different word-endings. Does it real to learn all the rules, which regulate them, and to use it in a proper way? I don't really know.
In adding, there are many other funny things, for example a noun, which is also flexible for variety transformations :)
So, if you have chosen Russian, be ready to spent 20 years for it's studying, ha-haAnd as one of our best writers - Kuprin has said: "«Русский язык в умелых руках и в опытных устах – красив, певуч, выразителен, гибок, послушен, ловок и вместителен."
