The main differences in the systems of the Russian and Chinese languages that cause difficulties in learning the Russian language by the Chinese and the Chinese language by the Russians

The article presents the main difficulties for the native speakers of the Chinese language in studying Russian as well as for the native speakers of the Russian language in studying the Chinese language. In particular the author performs a comparative analysis of phonetic (the musical stress in Chinese, the articulation of certain sounds in Russian), lexicographic (alphabet and hieroglyphic writing) and grammatical (inflections in Russian and count words in Chinese) discrepancies in the systems of the Russian and the Chinese languages.
