Native Languages VS. Second Languages

[Lady Rosie]

Hello Nordic,
I can't find anything about Mary and extending her French whilst in Paris. Her study of french at school I would expect to be of a basic standard. I went through the school system at the same time (different state) and I did five years of french which allows me to understand basic conversation and can write/read in a fairly easy manner.

I believe Russian is much harder to learn than the Scandinavian languages. French shouldn't be that hard to learn.

It is though if your first language, like English, doesnt have the same basic language rules like masculine and feminine and adjectives before nouns etc. Learning any second language becomes more difficult the older you are.
