Yes! 100 hours done in the 6WC. Almost 6 hours done so far today I am not even close to
done with the day :). These 1st 100 hours were probably the hardest, as except for German
and Spanish, all my languages were too new to really do anything but mindlessly read
grammar books. The next 100 will come easier I think(and hope).

A good day of studying Japanese. Really feel like I am getting the hang of the relative
clauses with の or が marking the subject but it is a bit confusing because it comes in
all the wrong places!
鈴木さんは本田さんが(の)買つた豊田の車 を運転した。
That is what I am talking about. So confusing.

Ok this has just gone too far. I cannot say the stupid "рь"!! No matter how hard I try,
it just comes out stupid. I have no idea what to do. Do I quite the whole language?
ARGGGGGGG! I can't do anything without this sound and I can't do it!

I wonder how weird an approximation would sound to a native Russian. I roll Rs and
everything, just I don't know how to soften it.

Like Belorussian accent, Lukashenko was laughed at it.
How do you say the word три? Like тры?
Well, can you say soft ж? Probably yes. Now while pronouncing this жь touch your
alveolars with your tongue.

Your R is just English r.
First, you totally mispronounce т, it must be a dental sound (laminal), the
tip of the tongue must be at the end of the upper teeth, near the lower teeth. Your t
sound nearly like ч.
Your R is just English r.

Hard R instead of soft is OK, English R instead of Russian is OK, but English T is unacceptable from my point of view.
