We learned the most painful part of a language: the grammar, especially in Russian, since they have a lot of funny unique letters that are pronounced differently in different places for some reason. Can’t really say we were in a disadvantage, though, because she was learning the Finnish grammar.
One of the major differences between Finnish and Russian is the gender division, Finnish does not have that and it is usually a challenge to remember when to use masculine, feminine or neutral.
Nevertheless we were successful in leaving the meeting with some added knowledge about our respective languages and we were better for it!
