Hi there i live in Quebec province in Canada, my first language is french, or should i say was, because now i do a lot more things in english then french lol,
I am writing two books and they are in english lol,
Imagin, it is not easy to learn, english is far more easy, Russian wow that must be very difficult,
prononciation is important, but i have to say that i write in english, tv shows news documentary are english, but i still have a french accent because i dont speak english enough, it could be the same for you, but hey french will anderstand you anyway, as english peoples anderstand me lol,
Good luck
