.An On-line Russian Reference Grammar
quote from Dr. Beard: "...they want their language to remain the simplest language in the world, the Russians decided...".
I'm not a linguist either. Whenever I have trouble (the usual situation), I remember Dr. Beard, and say to myself "Russian is the simplest language in the world!"
Russian is very interesting to me, the more I learn, the more interested I am to become more fluent.
