What do you think is the easiest way to learn your language?

As a native Russian speaker, I would like to make a small comparison and hear what you think about English.

For a foreigner who is studying Russian, it is practically pointless to study our grammar, since Russian is not a structured language.

If you say on English: I play football

In Russian i can say: Я играю в футбол ; В футбол играю я ; Играю в футбол я ;

Another interesting point is that instead of separate words, Russians simply use prefixes or suffixes.

Come- приХОДИТЬ

Go out- выХОДИТЬ

Go in\enter- вХОДИТЬ

Go away- уХОДИТЬ

These are not rules, they are just what Russians use in their everyday speech.

So, as someone who, if asked how to learn Russian, would definitely say to forget the rules and just communicate with native speakers. That way, you'll learn and remember Russian much faster. Because even after learning all the rules, Russians still don't speak according to the rules in everyday conversation.

For example:

If i want to say "I will buy a car next year."

Russians don`t say Куплю=buy, we are say Возьму=Take.

Although both options are possible.

This method is used by a huge number of migrants from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, and Tajikistan, who work in large numbers in delivery and taxi services. They simply communicate and learn what Russians say.

My mother studied German in the USSR in the 90s, and when she came to New York in 2010, she recalled that after two months she could easily understand what people were saying to her, but she couldn’t speak it herself.

I also know that of the 12 tenses offered in English school education in Russia, you rarely use all 12.

So, I'd like to know if it's possible to learn your language simply by talking to foreigners, watching movies, and listening to songs.

On the other hand, your language is structured, and you always put "Do," "Does," and "Have" in sentences, along with questions at the beginning. That's why I compared it to Russian, because we can make interrogative sentences without asking questions, just through intonation.

My target is simply to understand people's speech, interviews, hockey commentators, and watch movies and TV series in the original. However, I find this very difficult to do by ear, even though I can understand the entire sentence with subtitles.

What do you think is the easiest way to learn your language? Is it necessary to learn grammar?

Because, again, if you asked me how to learn Russian, I would confidently answer: ONLY by immersing yourself in Russian conversations, watching TV series and movies. There's NO POINT in learning rules; that would take much longer.
