1Story of the week 15 minutes

Mark gives his reasons.

Почему́ я учу́ ру́сский (Why I'm learning Russian)

Я учу́ ру́сский, потому́ что люблю́ ру́сскую литерату́ру.

Во-пе́рвых, я хочу́ чита́ть Че́хова в оригина́ле. Во-вторы́х, у меня́ есть ру́сские друзья́.

Хотя́ ру́сская грамма́тика тру́дная, мне о́чень интере́сно.

Поэ́тому я занима́юсь ка́ждый день.
