>>5379431Simply put, don't. If you want to feel at ease in uni, start learning a language beforehand. Go further, learn rules, words, verbs, anything that you stumble upon. Don't ever count on teachers to teach you anything useful. The only thing they are good for is squeezing everything and expecting the absolute best out of you.
Also mining, mine every text you find. It might take a lot of time but in the end the more you learn the more the chances you'll increase of being able to read something else. Long story short, it's a matter of patterns, you can throw rules and grammar out of the window (e.g. I don't know even the first thing about how english grammar rules are called, but I can write and speak fluently anyway). Same goes with russian and everything else. With verbs, my mind has practically gotten used to it, I can recognize the patterns just by looking at the infinitive form of perfective/imperfective aspects.
