Mark gives his reasons.

In the exam every text is played once: try the story by ear first.

Почему я учу русский (Why I'm learning Russian)

Я учу русский, потому что люблю русскую литературу.

Во-первых, я хочу читать Чехова в оригинале. Во-вторых, у меня есть русские друзья.

Хотя русская грамматика трудная, мне очень интересно.

Поэтому я занимаюсь каждый день.
