Привет! I'm currently learning Russian as a native English speaker. I've only been at it for a few weeks but I feel like I've gotten some of the basics down.
Anyone who is more knowledgeable than me, how do I reliably learn which to use from ц, ч, с, щ, or ш?
Also when speaking long words 10+ characters or 4+ syllables long I feel myself triping over my tongue. Moreso than my previous experience with learning German but it has been over a decade since then.
Additionally, anyone else learning a second or third language and hows it going for you?
Dropping the first в helps alot. Because trying to 'v' right before going into a 'st' was tongue tieing me really bad
To be honest, we Russian native speakers drop "v" there pretty often too.
