Russian is a living language as german is a dying one- the numbers are going down for german whereas they go up for russian. the greatest proponent of this increase isn't vladimir putin or even president of kazakhstan, nursultan nazerbaev.. Learning russian is more difficult than learning spanish or german. spanish is much easier to learn than russian on several counts: spanish vocabulary is much closer to english vocabulary.. Best answer: that depends on what you need your language skills for. if you want to be able to use it in business, i'd go for german 'cause german is one of the 4 most important business languages (english, chinese, german, japanese) and there are more german native speakers than there are russian..
I started learning german two years before russian...and now i think that my knowlege of german grammar is helping me a lot with russian! i think that russian is harder due to the amount of cases and verb aspect, but sentence structure is most similar to english.. I am tossing up between learning russian or german first. i want to learn german so i can talk to my friend in german but i would also like to learn russian as my family is from russia.. Hey rabbits! many of you asked me to draw a comparison between german and austrian. for this reason i did some research, watched a lot of austrian youtube videos and prepared a video for you guys..
