Здравствуйте! меня зовут Pancake.я программист. я люблю Россию и математику.
пока, мои друзья!
Seriously though, I have just barely started learning the language, and one of my top reasons to learn it is that Codeforces is actually a Russian site, and Russia is dominating competitive programing today. I hope I can reach a level that is sufficient to participate in programming discussions in Russian on Codeforces!
Well, as I remember Bobby Fischer learned Russian to the level necessary to learn Russian chess literature. Eventually he became a champion :)
Probably it is not the exact case with Competitive Programming and contemporary situation, but surely you are welcome, moreover that many Russian people have difficulty learning their native language themselves :)
Good luck!

First word in easy to write, but terribly hard to pronounce. I tried to learn Russian recently. I can read cyrillic alphabet and learned basics. It sounds good. I love it. So I ended up with a handle which sounds a bit Russian. Finally I apologize for mistakes. I have trouble with this one — 'ь'
Russian kids often make mistakes in that one:)
Yeah...I have also heard that missing that one may change the meaning entirely. I don't want to get beaten. Anyways, little Russian did help me to get some friends at VKontakte. All of them are forgiving.
Hi! :)
At my work I sometimes communicate with colleagues from India. I noticed that many of them speak English with many of these "soft signs" (so we call this 'ь') involuntarily — e.g. with "palatalization" of consonants. Really it seems that your native language is "softer" and have more "ringing" sounds compared to English, so I believe this should not be hard to you :)
Though probably it is harder to distinguish "hard" (ones without "palatalization") and "soft" sounds... However I'm glad we all can communicate in English also — this makes world wider :)
Though probably in future we'll be obliged to learn Chinese — I think, also quite interesting language :)
Yes..Chinese is interesting. Chinese seems harder than Russian. As you know one must remember thousands of characters, their names and also tones. But words are not hard to pronounce though.
Coming to India — You must know that India has plenty of languages. Almost every state has its own state language. I am from South India and I speak a language called Kannada, not Hindi. South Indian languages are entirely different from the ones spoken in the North and the North-East.

In Russian the nouns change their endings depending on the role they play in the sentence. Search for 'six cases in Russian' if you are interested.
P.S. Even if you don't get those cases right, any Russian speaker will understand what you mean in most cases. Nevertheless, according to my observations, most native Russian speakers (including myself) like to correct the mistakes in the language when they see them. This approach is somewhat different from English speakers (at least the ones I had a chance to talk to). I only get corrections when I clearly say some nonsense. They ask to repeat in this case, but rarely suggest a correction. Anyway, please do not get offended when you get corrected. I believe most people do it with good intentions:)
Спасибо :) for correcting the mistakes. Yeah! I have trouble with cases. Since I don't get a chance to use the language very often I forget the words and rules. Plenty of rules in Russian. Fortunately we were taught English since 1st and I don't have trouble with that. English has plenty of rules as well as exceptions. It is hard. Still I don't know how to use 'the'.
Namaste! Aap kaise ho?
Cultural exchange :-)
Namaskara, Naanu chennagidini (I'm fine). Neev hegidira? (How are you?)
Well! As I mentioned in one of the comments above I speak Kannada, but not Hindi. Hindi is spoken by a large group of people, but not everyone. South Indian languages namely Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil are entirely different from Hindi and other North Indian languages.
As far as I know even in Russia, there are people who speak languages like Tatar in Tatarstan and Bashkir elsewhere. [besides Russian]
Удачи! Good Luck!
By the way, there is a good portal for blogging in foreign language. I've used it for a while and have been satisfied with it. One of the main advantages of Lang-8 is that your posts appear in the news feed of native speakers of the language you learn and if they notice any mistakes in your post they correct them. In my opinion, it has quite handy interface for mistake correction as well as for the corrections viewing. And there are no trolls for sure on Lang-8. So I advice you go there and to try it.
Good luck with your reputable and not easy to reach (though possible, I trust) goal!
What books do you use for learning Russian? Can you share them?
