    Почему- for what reason (what instigated the decision)
    Зачем- for what outcome

      So you could say that зачем is more like the English “to what end/ what do you hope” for example, “to what end will you continue these destructive actions” or “what do you hope to accomplish by banging a hammer on your car”. One is past and the other is future.

      In case there are any Spanish speakers here, I believe that the difference is like this in Spanish:
      Почему -- Por qué
      Зачем -- Para qué

    In his example of watching somebody beating on their car with a hammer ...
    It seems if you asked, "Зачем ты это делаешь?"
    this would be like asking, "What do you hope to accomplish by doing this?"
    It seems if you asked, "Почему ты это делаешь?"
    this would be more like asking, "What led you to do this?"

      Si, pero eso es para los que tienen un nivel intermedio o avanzado.
      Si te pones a escuchar ruso no te enteras de nada.
      Con un nivel intermedio puedes advinar el significado de las palabras atraves del contexto.
      Somos principiantes, así que no te servirá mucho escuchar un ruso hablar su idioma nativo.
      Yo lo porbé y no me he enterado de nada.
      Hablan rápido- todos nosotros o la mayoría de los nativos hablan sus idiomas maternos con bastanta agilidad y soltura.
      Para un oído extranjero le va a parecer que el nativo habla muy rápido, pero en teoria no habla más rápido que tu cuando hablas tu idioma nativo.

      Quizás superé un examen oficial del nivel A1.
      Como mucho estoy en el A2. Llevo desde enero estudiando unas 2-3 horas. Una cosa es entender ruso, identificar las palabras si las lees y otra cosa es la automatización, es decir, hablar un idioma con mucha naturalidad como si fuera un instinto o un sexto sentido. Yo estoy aprendiendo ruso con Babbel.
      Yo entiendo como 1000 palabras, pero reproducirlas yo mismo de manera natural no lo logro. Me refiero sin leerlas.

      @@Kithzer375 It is difficult to pronounce words which has a lot of consonants on them. If I see 3 or 4 consonants together it is a nightmare to pronounce them and be understood. Russian is not like German or Italian. The language is indeed tough. It is not the alphabet, but several consonants together in words which makes the language hard to pronounce. I have no idea, what is you native language. If you are Bulgarian, Russian is not very difficult. It is very different to my native language.

    About two years ago I started learning Russian.
    For some reason, reading it is easier than speaking and understanding because I don't know most words and I kinda spent more time learning the alphabet because my Spanish teacher always said "once you know the alphabet you'll be able to master the language easily".
    I do know the basics like how to ask for directions etc. English was easy because I watch a lot of English movies and I listen to a lot of English songs, I also think in English quite a lot. So, I came up with this Idea. What if I do the same with Russian. I still don't know how to properly speak Russian and whenever I try to think in the language all I can think of is "мне это не нравится" and a few other things. Some words sound familiar from time to time and there are times I fully understand a person but I just don't know how to formulate sentences to respond
