But is English complicated in the study? Is it easy to read on it?
There are excellent news for students of English.Because if you compare with the Russian language, then it is much easier to assimilate. It is known that the English-speaking need to spend more effort to somehow express themselves in Russian than the native speaker of the Russian language - to study English to about the same level. This means that the English language is easy to learn, spending not so much time and energy on it, as required by the study of Russian.
The curious fact that native English envyRussian-speaking. Because they have been able to speak their native language since birth, and the rest have to work long and hard to learn it.
