New Technical material is the hardest.
My Russian is very, very rusty and I only ever had the vocabulary of a ten year old to begin with! In spite of that, I surprise myself frequently at how much I can still understand. Speaking, on the other hand, is quite difficult. My grammatical errors are legion. Russian grammar is not for the feint of heart.

Same for Ukrainian. Nouns having gender permits looser sentence structure.

My father’s English was often a bit weird. He thought in Ukrainian and translated word by word into English.
