4 years, still haven't broken through A2
I'm taking it a little more seriously nowadays though, I'm watching russian content and doing anki and shiz
I might blogpost in russian here or something as practice
share anything interesting related to the subject in here or something in case you are also learing or interested in learning

Why are you learning Russian?

Autistic fixation on russia I had since forever. No particular reason.
Probably a combination of factors, mainly the fact that Russia is fucking huge, the fact that it's cold and snowy (I fantasized about living there when I was younger, because the climate is the polar opposite to that of the place I lived my entire life), the fact that I am a natural contrarian and always considered russians were the good guys in most of the conflicts that they took part in, or were at the very least the lesser evil, the fact that they have good aesthetics, etc.
Also one of my earliest memories is pointing at russia in a world map and reading the name out loud (I was still learning how to read)
 
How much do you know? Like verb conjugation, cases, some irregulars, gender. I'm not learning russian rn but I'm learning serbocroatian which is very similar

aybe he just wasn’t studying consistently and that’s why. This is why saying you did something for “x months” or “x years” is flawed. Someone who studies 14 hours a day for a month will have studied for more hours than someone who studied 30 minutes a day for two years. This is why I take it with a grain of salt whenever someone says they did something for years without actually saying how many hours they did it each day of said year.

If it's enough to hook you in for long enough that you won't get bored and decide to do something else with your time after a week or two then sure. It's a lifelong commitment.

i've been learning japanese for years and yeah i do know how long it takes.
i kind of gave up on japanese though because im just not into jap shit anymore, but it;s a language i have knowledge in and sunken cost fallacy makes me want to continue in it
i wouldnt mind switching to russian just to finally decode what those fuckers in my tf2 lobbies are actually saying

If you choose to learn the language for something such as listening to spergs on TF2 voice chat you might just fall into the very same disinterest as you did with Japanese.

how much japanese do you actually know? I assume not a lot since you are willing to give it up. You'd be retarded for letting knowledge rot just like that.

i know enough to have installed mosc and yomichan on my pc.
i know katakana, hiragana and some kanji. i gave up after a while though because wanikani level 9 wasn't doing it for me.
it was getting really boring. overall i've been learning for 2 to 4 years and I know some things but forgot a lot of other things.
I used to know a lot of kanji but I kind of forgot most of it.

if i want to continue learning, it'll be a pain, wanikani boutta dump me 1000000 reviews that i have to slog through just to learn how to say some retarded word i never wanted to learn anyways
inb4 that word has the weirdest fucking radical stroke pattern, like 100 different meaning and readings and then theres rendaku and kunyomi and onyomi
AAAAAAAAAA
 
English is the only language that anyone needs to know because nations who speak it rule the world or however the people miles from me are insulted.
