[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't try French if you can't do Spanish. How about Mandarin? [b]Arabic[/b]? Ebonics? [b]Russian[/b]? [/quote]

I don’t know about Mandarin or Ebonics, but if OP found Spanish tricky, highly doubt they’ll find Arabic or Russian any less tricky with the added bonus of learning all in non-Latin alphabet and the same as Spanish gender adjustments, changing word endings depending on context, etc.

What languages do you already speak or learned before Op?[/quote]

Native Russian speaker here. I don’t speak Spanish, but I did learn French which is supposedly harder than Spanish. Out of the three languages I speak - Russian, English, French - I would consider Russian to be the hardest by far. At least in terms of grammar. Not only are there changes due to gender, but nouns have declensions (different endings based on which preposition is used, and there are 6 of those - so each noun can have 6 “varieties”). Verb tenses are much harder than either English or French too.

If OP struggled with Spanish then I don’t think Russian is the way to go, unless she already knows another Slavic language. [/quote]
