Хочеш розмовляти – розмовляй. Хочеш розмовляти – розмовляй. Дуже важливо починати практику з ранніх стадій вивчення мови. Також треба починати з тих тем, які справді цікавлять. Якщо не цікавить, на якій річці стоїть Лондон, то не потрібно вивчати цю тему. А опис міста можна почати зі свого улюбленого. Наприклад, вивчаючи німецьку, у темі про місто я описую Барселону, і це значно ефективніше.

Практика. Практика. Практика. “Practice makes the man perfect.” Я думаю, що ви чули це багато разів. І це теж: “Rome was not built in a day.” Отже, наступне питання, яке ми маємо, - "Що практикувати?" Я вважаю, що краще практикувати навички говоріння перш за все.

How important is the Russian language?
Pretty important, for a few reasons:
<ol><li>It’s one of the 6 UN languages. Along with English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Mandarin.</li><li>It’s an official language in 6 official countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Quite useful to know it if you live or work in that region.</li><li>It’s spoken by 260 million people, including 150 million native speakers. That makes it the 8th most spoken language in the world.</li><li>There are more and more Russian tourists going on holiday overseas. I live in Thailand, and it’s not uncommon to see restaurants and hotels where everything is written in Russian. Russian tourists are good money here.</li></ol>

Are Ukrainian and Russian mutually intelligible?
Popular opinion that Russian and Ukrainian are mutually intelligible comes from the fact that most people in Ukraine and many in densely populated parts of Southern Russia (mostly Kuban’ and territories North and East from Kharkiv, e.g. large parts of Voronezh region) were living in mixed language environments for most time in XX century, so they were exposed to both languages:

As of 2020, there is a whole new generation of Ukrainian-speaking people who have very basic Russian skills (mostly in the West) and Russians with no Ukrainian at all. Granted, first can understand Russian, because of its high presence in the media, but often can’t speak it well.
