hi

im applying for university at the moment and am considering a joint honours degree in english literature and russian, starting russian as a complete beginner. the 'master russian' website has been very helpful in showing me the basics of the language.

however, i was wondering if any native english speakers could give me some advice. i already speak german, and some french. how hard a language to pick up is russian? has anyone else started it at level 1 at university? if so how did they find it?

any help would be greatly appreciated.
