46. Russian is fun and easy to learn!

  • Русский весело и легко учить!
  • Russkiy veselo i legko uchit’!

When will you be fluent? It’s good to set goals. Noone can say for sure when you will get fluent . But aiming for something specific will get you far. Definitely  a lot farther than saying – “oh, i don’t know… maybe one day, I’ll finally be man enough to learn…”

48. I completely understood everything you said.

  • Я понял всё, что вы сказали.
  • Ya ponyal vsyo, chto vi skazali.

Every time a native speaker speaks with a non-native, they wonder “did they understand what I said?” Did you? This is a good line to display just how good you are – whether you actually got it or not!

49. Thank you but I’m not a native speaker actually.

  • Спасибо, но на самом деле я не носитель языка.
  • Spasibo, no na samom dele ya ne nasitel` yazika.

Has a Russian complimented on your speaking skills? Did they tell you that you sound Russian? First of all, that’s a massive compliment – Russian pronunciation is tough. Second of all, this is a good response.

50. It took me only one year to become fluent.

  • У меня всего заняло один год чтобы говорить свободно. 
  • U menya vsego zanyalo odin god shtoby gavarit` svabodno.
