There is no verb учать, only учить. Учить can mean both to learn and to teach. To learn something is учить + acc. (учить язык), to teach something to someone is учить кого-то (acc.) чему-то (dat.) (учить мальчика языку - to teach the language to the boy). Учиться (to study) has a broader meaning - to study in general. If we want to say to study something, we use the dative case: учиться языку (but it is not very often used with nouns, more with infinitives учиться выживать - to learn how to survive). Изучать (+acc.) is to study something. Изучать язык. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Also, Учиться is used when you explain WHERE you study whatever it is that you study, like "Я учусь в университете", right? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

fabriciocarraro, yeah, but you can avoid it by saying what you study first: Я учу русский язык в университете.

@Via Diva - Great explanation! That's what I was looking for. Thanks. Yes, I wrote it
wrong. I meant "учить". It's because i'm still using google translator to type (they have a virtual keyboard. I type things in cyrillic there and ctrl+c ctrl+v here), I should buy a russian keyboard. I don't use my computer to produce text yet, only to read, because I believe that if you write with your own hand instead of typing, things are going to glue faster in your mind. So typing system here is still very precarious. @ Марк - Got it. Great explanation aswell. These formulas are very useful!, thanks. I'll write then down here as references Edit: Text Formatting Edited by Cristianoo on 20 January 2014 at 4:29am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I already feel better changing courses. I switched to Assimil from the 1950s, and all I want as a goal is to finish it. That's all. I prefer this as a goal to, say, I want to reach A2 or B1 etc. By the way, after assimil russian (1950s), which level do you reach? :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
