Hi Josquin, thanks for asking! I'm loyal to my schedule so far, finished Il nuovo russo
senza sforzo and now I'm doing Russian Without Toil. This book is better than the first one and the fact that I have a previous knowledge helps me internalize the structures. I'm trying to get on the track when it comes to vocabulary, since at first several words looked similar, and now I'm learning to differentiate their roots. I'm also doing an Anki deck that covers the 2008 edition, so I hope I can have a nice time at that one as well. Still, it's too early for me to try practicing Russian, I think. I want to keep doing this textbook study for a while. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

RWT just did one thing Il nuovo russo senza sforzo didn't: it's lesson 30 and in the next review lesson we're going to find a declension chart for the singular. It's not like pushing us into memorizing a chart, it's just allowing us to see the big picture before we move on, one thing Il nuovo russo... simply didn't do!

It seemed too good to be true! Just because I was happy about RWT, in the sense that it didn't have the insane pace of Il nuovo russo senza sforzo, it started at lesson 31 to introduce an extra set of exercises for us to memorize declensions. That means more than 20 sentences to translate each day. Still, those sentences use the vocabulary already learned, and this is an attribute of a good grammar. Let's see if this extra work won't start making my lessons get overwhelming.

Time to update a bit. I'm still far from getting my real practice with Russian, which would be reading the Georgian textbook. Working at RWT with no big stress so far. Dialogues are still short enough so I can focus on a fair number of new words. Exercises are longer, but then they are working as a reinforcement. I'm starting to anticipate the expected case ending at a few instances, which is good, since I'm not down to studying them sistematically.

Those case endings are tough. I have learned them systematically so far and it's just so
confusing. I am trying to learn them naturally now that I have the foundation. Edited by zecchino1991 on 25 March 2013 at 7:51am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yep. I'm pretty sure that one is the bane of everyone's existence. ;)

That one is the toughest for nouns. For adjectives not so much.
The bane of Russian to me is aspect choice. 1 person has voted this message useful |
