Thread: Говорю по-русски

Okay, but don't overload yourself Kgcole Russian grammar can and will overwhelm you if you try too hard in the beginning, take it step by step and try to watch some simple movies/listen to simple conversations, you know, to get your brain used to russian. Do that while studying grammar on the side, but yeah the verbs is a pretty big obstacle, and I don't ever seem to overcome it, at least not yet I go with trial and error with verbs when speaking with russians and ask them to correct me if I do something wrong.
But once you can recognize all the prefixes it should be very easy to spot if a verb is perfect or not

Aurelian - that's okay, use Russian or English. The practice is what is important

Fester - Yes, it can be overwhelming, but I enjoy it, so that's good. I do listen to internet TV. Verbal conversation is difficult, I just thought if I could read and write first, it would be easier to overcome. Thanks for your tips. I'm not one to get upset if I make mistakes and people bring it to my attention, so please feel free to criticize my efforts...lol. I appreciate everyone's help
