    One-Stem Verb System

    Anybody familiar with the one-stem verb system of Roman Jakobson? I've run across it in "Making Progress in Russian". The claim is that it is a simplified way of learning Russian verbs, but glancing over it, I'm not so sure.

    If it will pay dividends down the road, I'll take the time to learn it, but I don't want to spend the time if it has been discredited.

    Why is everyone so intent on these learn-Russian-while-you-eat-breakfast schemes? Why don't you just learn the language the normal way. 145 million native speakers can't be wrong.

    Russian verbs arn't even that hard to begin with... Memorize a few endings, write a few sentances, bam you know your verbs. It literally takes like 10 minutes.

    I encountered the one-stem verb system in The Big Silver Book of Russian Verbs. Having already learnt the two-stem system, I just bypassed it. It looked complicated
