Russian to English — Communication challenges for Русский speakers
Communication challenges for Русский speakers
When you speak English, you may run into challenges that come from the differences between Русский and English. Common areas include: Russian has no articles — 'a', 'an', and 'the' are entirely new concepts; Russian has six grammatical cases — English has essentially none; English does not use the verb 'to be' in present tense the way Russian does; Russian stresses different syllables unpredictably — English stress patterns feel random; Dropping articles: 'I need book' instead of 'I need a book'; Omitting 'to be': 'She teacher' instead of 'She is a teacher'. Understanding these helps you focus your practice. Rozy lets you practise in a safe space and get feedback so you improve over time.
