Was the "HARD" challenge too hard? Only a few people attempted them. Should the difficulty level be to allow most users to attempt translation, or to be actually challenging to even a skilled speaker?

Find good grammar resources. Take each case individually. Understand what they are used for and which prepositions they are associated with. Learn the declensions and practice on simple exercises, it's just a matter of repetition. Careful with names and NUMERALS declension. The next and probably biggest difficulty is going to be verbs. You need to understand the difference between perfective and imperfective, you need to know when to use which, their usage is different if you're talking in the past/present/future tense, infinitive, imperative. You need to understand how prefixes work, how they modify the verb's meaning and verbal aspect (im/perfective). Movement verbs should be considered separately, they don't work the same as other verbs. Then you have participles (those are a bitch, let me tell you) and adverbial form.
This is just a quick overview. I don't know your goals and how well you want to speak russian, but if you aim for perfect fluency, both oral and written, you need to know this stuff. It's too complex to just pick it up from imput.

For any language, I'd recommend using the Michel Thomas courses. I'd clown for Michel Thomas to the moon and back because after I used his french course my understanding of french skyrocketed.
Michel says that you should just lay back and enjoy the recordings, but instead, you should try to write down to understand complicated phrases and stuff you need to memorize.
Some common complaints about Michel are these: >Michel teaches you no vocabulary True for the foundation course, the advanced courses and vocabulary courses will fix that. >Michel has a thick accent Use the booklets that come with the course, and FSI languages for your phonetics. >It's overpriced True, but this is the internet.
The torrent "Michel Thomas Complete V3" from JoeKane includes everything, foundation courses, advanced courses, and vocabulary for those courses that have it. It's not completely up to date, so stuff like swedish and norwegian isn't there yet, but soon enough they'll be.
Duolingo isn't a good main source, but it is good for a "Crash course" as I like to call it, that is, your first baby steps into the language. If you're comitted to learning it, then dive into Michel's courses and from there on out, everything will be a lot easier.
Also, as a heads up, if you're learning a language with a different writing system, you should leave it a bit for later, since you can speak a language without reading it, but you shouldn't read one without speaking it.

Read russian for literature, speak and read french and german for everything they have, learn swedish to live on an icelandic country someday.
Learn finnish just to flex on brainlets.

Probably master French language, both writing and speaking. I’m content with knowing English and French. I don’t know if I even needed to learn other languages beside those two. And I feel like English is probably the most useful worldwide language nowadays anyway.

Anyone have experience with the Destinos television show? O-or have download links for it? I'm interested in hearing some Spanish.
