I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to “how are you” and how to say “I am still learning Greek can we speak English”. haha

Здравствуйте все!
I’ve been actively trying to learn Russian for about two years now, and I’m still not very capable of having even simple conversations, due to the great difficulty of constructing sentences in my head. I guess I let the grammar get to me, with all the various prefixes and suffixes, so I choke. That, and the positioning of the words in a sentence. And also the concept of cases (all 7 of them). I know English and Norwegian from before, none of which has this slavic sentence logic/rules, so I find it incredibly difficult to remember/associate words/variations with their use.
I use Duolingo, Babbel, and sometime Rocket Language, in addition to trying to expose myself to having to read/listen/reply to other native speakers, but man am I having a hard time. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem when I started learning Russian and honestly the only thing that helped me improve was just speaking and writing in Russian more
the grammar is also really hard, but I found it best to just not overthink it and just get used to speaking and making mistakes but improving over time. It’s easier to focus on correcting grammar when you’re more comfortable just constructing sentences in that language in general and don’t have to think as hard for each word you want to say
I would suggest going to the Library and seeing if they have a Russian language course, or finding one at a book store if you can afford it. I find having an actual structured course helps me in my learning, and it will usually include resources like audio.
