For motivational purposes what time frame would you target for a person to learn the grammer aspect of the language.
What are your personal experiences of the grammer. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It may take your life It's so much easier to study grammar after you know vocabulary. Grammar is a stressing subject with difficult terminology, if you focus on learning it in the beginning it could be too boring, just try to learn as much vocabulary as you can in the beginning and then study grammar Here is what I do (considering the fact that I don't use or seriously care about anything besides Portuguese and English): I take a simple and short course such as Teach Yourself, which explains some grammar. As I'm aware of the basic principles of the language's grammar I try to read texts (without translating every single unknown word as it appears for it's awfully stressing and demotivating) The thing is that you don't need to know everything about your TL's grammar, not even natives do (or care). As I like Russian but don't need it, I'd say it's gonna take me a few months to learn so much grammar. Studying a grammar book intensively is a waste of time for me, I must have contact with texts in order to, in fact, learn grammar. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

It takes *native* speakers several years. I learned Russian as a foreign language, and agonized over grammar. I taught my kids some when they were little. They couldn't figure out verb or noun paradigms--and neither could the kids of the native speakers. They said confusing things like, "Ya xochesh" ("I you-want").
I even heard a 10-year-old in Kiev foul up the genitive plural (a very confusing aspect of Russian grammar). Her aunt briefly corrected her, and the conversation continued. The bad news: the grammar will take forever. The good news: it's no big deal. Enjoy! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Russian Grammar...
is a pain in the butt. I can't help you with a time-frame, because I've been learning 2 years or so on-and-off, and the more I learn, the less I know. There's always some aspect of some verb or what have you, that needs to be learned, or that's different, or that changes based on whether or not you're talking in the abstract or about a specific quantity, etc. etc. I could go on and on... I'll conclude with this: the history, culture, and people make it worth it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Just do it.
If not, there's a slew of things you could try, like reading and memorizing grammar tables, etc. But mostly, just do it. If you speak the language often and learn how to do it right, the grammar will sink in. 1 person has voted this message useful |
