Stop before it's too late
It's impossible for a non-native

pain

ALL Russians beat their wives

What makes you say that?

It should be as hard as Mandarin and Arabic for someone who speaks a way different language group

russian is indo-european language retard. it doesn't take anywhere near as long to learn as arabic or mandarin for a french/english/etc speaker.

Start with the most important basics.
Suka blyat ya tvoy rot yebal

Very high level of abstraction and a lot of peculiarities

It being a IE language doesn't make it any more similar and closer to English, for example, since we have things like cases and gendered nouns/adjectives and etc+there's a shitton of finno-ugric and turkic borrowed words

whatever. it still is significantly easier to learn than actually really hard languages like arabic or mandarin.

Mandarin is suppose to be quite easy actually. Only their writing system is a pain in the ass.

No, you're completely wrong. Just because Russian belongs to the same language family as French and English doesn't mean it will be easier to learn. Language families only tell us that these languagese used to be similar for many thousands of years ago.

Arabic is not much harder to learn than Russian. Russian is a fucking pain in the ass, though it is of course not impossible by any standard. You're just autist who's read a wikipedia article on language families. You have no idea what you're talking about.

i've just looked at statistics on how long it takes for people to learn languages

I had a relative who learnt Russian in 1,5 years, definitely not impossible

I tried a few years back and it's a fucking pain. Very cool language, but it wasn't worth all the work.

you're right but it is one of the harder languages to learn as a native english speaker

Yes and learning Russian takes one year to learn and Arabic two. Still means Russian is fucking hard.

And I'm not saying language families are irrelevant.but theyre not everything

It's easy when you're a Slav, and your language has a lot of cases

Cases fuck with Anglophones, but they're kind of natural after you've studied Latin.

It's his gimmick, he says it in language threads all the time. Dont pay attention to him. Plenty of people even on Yas Forums have learned it.
