Part 3: How to count in Russian - Russian language tutorial and phrasebook
To count in Russian is to get one step closer to the very advanced mathematical intelligence that Russians have. The thing is that Russian language is almost especially made for advanced manipulations with numbers. Because if you manage to pronounce "14" (chetyrnadtsat), then it means you can manage complexity. If you can write it, you can manage chaos. Otherwise, Russian way of counting is very logical, there are no weird things like there is in French, where you have to say "four times twenty" when you mean "eighty".
