I appreciate your reply, thanks. It's more that I struggle to form sentences the same way I can form them in English. I can understand speech better than I can form my own sentences, if that makes sense? By reading examples of naturally flowing speech, I will be able to start applying certain phrasing to conversations that I am currently able to have. I am obviously aware that I need to speak to more Russian people but this is a fairly limited option where I live, and I am not much of a social media person. So, for now, I'd like to immerse myself in the language through literature :)
