I'm in my second semester of Russian, so my vocabulary is still kinda limited. The cases can be really tricky (But then again Russian only has 6 cases, whereas Finnish has 15! I would have to be medicated if I learned that one). My professor is always correcting my endings. But then again half the time I do pronounce it in my mind, but I'm still used to speaking French and clipping off the final sylable. And then every once in a while I run into a Russian word that is nearly the same as the French word and I say it with the French accent. And then my professor giggles and tells me how cute it sounds. (She's a native speaker.)
