Thread: Have you taken a course in Russian and what was your experience?

It is important not to confuse word "писАть" (to write) with "пИсать" (to pee). The only difference in the infinitive is the stress.
This pair of words is often the source of embarrassment, especially when you accidentally put the stress on the wrong syllable while reading some text aloud

писАть - я пишУ
пИсать - я пИсаю

It is important not to confuse word "писАть" (to write) with "пИсать" (to pee).

It is not so easy if in your native language stress ALWAYS is on the first syllable :P
My russian teacher reminded this couple of times, but stress in russian is still a mystery to me.

I haven't taken any courses in Russian - only 3 years at school - that's all.
I think my understanding is ~B1-B2, but speaking/writing - A1 at best.
