Wow, based on all of your stats, you all have such great experience with the Russian language.
As a Russian beginner, these incredibly high numbers are both encouraging to me and a little daunting!
Never the less, just wanted to add, that this thread has been very interesting to me and gives me a bit of an indication as to what to expect throughout the course of my Russian journey.
I guess it really shows that we never truly stop learning. Even after 1000s of hours, there is still so much more out there to learn. In a way it’s nice that there is always something more to strive for.
Good luck to all of you with your ongoing Russian studies and thank you all for the fascinating insight.
