Kamaki,
How long did russian take for you to learn from zero to conversational with ease? Thanks in advance for being as specific as possible.
More like 2-3 years.In general FSU girls help a lot to learn Russian.In fact everyone there tries to teach you Russian it is essential for communication.I learned it of course in Greece but had constant correspondence with Ukrainian girls.It is easier to learn polish or Czech in my opinion because cyrillica alphabet makes memorization of words in Russian problematic.However if you know other slavic languages you just twist some words and you get close to Russian.(basically you just add vocals)
