why the fuck do russians speak and write a completely different way from textbooks? I mean I know no one would ever say "bossy" or "what a pity!" IRL (classic English textbooks adjectives and stock phrases) but ffs you guys have a whole new fucking code to crack. It seems writing has done a huge deal of good to me in a single week, I used to miss every single soft sign before, but I still can't understand what the fuck people say whenever they use russian on 4ch. On the other hand, at least I seem to understand around 30% of movie-like (non-textbooks) dialogues which is a lot of progress in a year imo... if I think I didn't properly learn to use English verbs when I was 10 till I was 13 or something. I'd like to try to expose myself to russian interwebz but I know everybody's gonna flock at me and be a fucking jerk cuz I'm still in first year... what the fuck happened to the times when I'd get along with anyone and play SSBB in spite of my terrible English?
