Why is speaking more difficult than writing?
There's no initially obvious reason why the act of writing has to be more difficult than speaking--both use similar language skills and devices, and most people can master the coordination required to write or type with little difficulty. However, the absence of nonverbal cues in written speech combined with the general lack of interaction found in written communication probably makes written speech less efficient or intuitive at communicating ideas than spoken speech--and this is perceived as a difference in difficulty.
Most speaking relies heavily on differences of intonation and volume to stress important concepts and hint at logical organization of ideas; for example, many speakers use rising intonation to stress introduction of a new idea and parallel intonation (pronouncing different sentences with the same pattern of tones) to communicate similarity of concepts. These cues enable the organization/progression of even complicated ideas to be followed by the listener. Written speech, lacking these cues, must "overcompensate" with more obvious organization or parallel structure to communicate similar content.

What is an authoritative dictionary?
An authoritative dictionary is one where a group of people all agree is a competent dictionary. That is an oversimplification, but there it is. Two grammarians with sixty years of combined experience can give an expert opinion on what a good dictionary is, but it takes more than that to label something as authoritative. Which ones are considered authoritative? Oxford is a big one. American Heritage and Merriam-Webster are a couple more. I prefer American Heritage because the layout is easier to read. It is also important to know what isn't authoritative. Beware of Webster dictionaries. They are a take-off on the Merriam-Webster dictionaries. Compare Snap-On (a professional tool supply company) to Stack-On (a second-rate tool supply company). Some companies try to benefit from the reputation of other companies by using a play-on-words. Don't be fooled. Although Webster's version is good, it is not considered authoritative. There are encyclopedic dictionaries, unabridged dictionaries, and several other kinds, with many of them being quite good. Encyclopedic dictionaries are cool, but when a dictionary tries to do more than simply be a dictionary, the quality suffers. Using a combined dictionary is like trying to surf the 'Net on your phone; it can be done, but it pales in comparison with a T3 line on a full size computer.
If you haven't investigated Russian before, a page from a Russian language book will immediately strike you in several ways:
- Some words look almost English, others are a mystery.
- Some of the letters look "okay" other letters look "funny".
- The numbers are the same.
- The page seems to have sentences and punctuation just like English.
Russian letters are in the Cyrillic alphabet. Long story short - some of the letters are more like Greek than English. Each letter represents a sound, you can find lots of guides on this pronunciation online. Two of the letters are indicators of hard and soft sounds of letters preceding them. Concentrate on the printed letters, not the hand written, first as these are more easily learned. Learn the Russian alphabet, it makes Russian/English dictionary searches easier.
Now the sentences:
Russian sentences are arranged pretty much like English, and read left to right just like English.
Vocabulary:
The vocabulary is a hurdle. Words in Russian often transliterate into English words, and you get them right away when you sound them out. If you are familiar with French, you'll find French sounding and meaning words among the Russian, as well. Then, there are the pure Russian words, the spelling will give you no help in understanding them, you have to learn them as vocabulary. By the way, the nouns are sex based so you have to modify adjectives to comply with the nouns' sex, just like French.
Grammar:
Russian grammar is a problem for English speakers, as the verbs have declensions that we do not enjoy in English. I suspect that a lot of English speakers of Russian come across sounding like Tonto or Tarzan to native Russian speakers because of this. The reading of Russian is therefor made more complex by different verb forms for words, which indicate other aspects besides number and past, present, and future.
Technical Russian:
Technical Russian is easier, as it deals a lot with borrowed words (unlike Chinese where no words were borrowed and new words were invented for everything), and one or two words will get you pretty far into understanding charts and graphs as the numbers are the same.
There are often Russian newspapers available to practice on in ethnic communities. It is a feeling of accomplishment to pick one up and know what the headline is about, even if your skills aren't up to the text of the story. Do not worry about the jokes or humor, in addition to the vocabulary there is a wealth of cultural references that make many, if not all, of them incomprehensible.
How do you define incomprehensible vocabularies rapidly while reading?
