What's so scary, Biancca? Russian is not that difficult - Chinese is.

We normally pronounce the way we write and much less ambiguity.

English:
get:

(to become) - get dark
(to receive) - get a present (from someone)
(to acquire) - get a dog (to buy)
(to reach a destination) - get home
(to understand) - I don't get it!
etc.

Russian words are longer but they are harder to mix with something else.

Russian Grammar may be difficult but you need to read more, not knowing, which case to use will not prevent you from understanding. Russians have trouble when learning all these verb tenses in English or spelling rules.
