Currently learning French. 4 years in and I've learned every grammar rule those damned people ever created, reading Camus and all that, but to this day I couldn't understand a Parisian giving directions if my life depended on it. However,I learned to read Russian quite fluently in two weeks and I'm quickly learning to actually speak it just by interacting with Russians in my time there in Armenia. I learned Russian phonetics by connecting the dots on Armenian road signs as such You gotta be there, learning it because you have to, and if you engage yourself you'll soon learn everything you need to know. At least that is my experience.
