Re Julie's /mlele's comment ---- it's depressing to hear that a Slavic speaker is finding it challenging. I guess the grammar is more similar though
Well I've sure heard Poles speak Russian that sounds enviable to me! This Youtube clip is saying that Russians themselves can't get the grammar right! That their verbs are "impossible" Radio programmes and classes at work, to improve your own mother-tongue!! I've never heard of such a thing! (even though it would benefit some English people actually). Edited by cordelia0507 on 22 May 2009 at 6:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

People from Belarus speak excellent Russian. In Russia you can run into, say, a Vietnamese immigrant, or someone from a national (non-ethnic-Russian) republic of Russian Federation whose accent can be quite thick. In Belarus, most people speak Russian as a native language, and a great majority of those that don't, speak it so well, it is hard if not impossible to tell them apart from native speakers. It is possible that some people from countryside speak Russian with a Belarussian accent (or maybe even some who don't speak Russian at all), but that accent is hardly unpleasant, and one isn't likely to encounter those people online or in real life, anyway. So Belarus is perhaps as good a place as any to learn Russian - a case can be made Belarussians speak better Russian (on average) than the citizens of Russia itself. 1 person has voted this message useful |
