The interesting thing is, we don't even think about the actual structure of our language, and we just continue to speak it, naturally, and quite effortlessly.


You grew up with it. Speaking single syllables first. Then progressing to words, simple sentences, and so on.

Unless you are suggesting it sprang up out of nowhere, in which case, can you speak/write Russian?

Language was around much earlier than grammar classes.
