You know that I don't mean reading, but reading is thought in first 2 years.
After that, it's pure academics about how to desctibe and think about language. This might be different in Russia though.
And yes, I might actually include additional 3 years of learning about propper grammer, but I do not believe even in the concept of "propper grammar" to begin with.
On the other hand, I had 2-3 hours per day in primary AND secondary school. That shit is 13 years to know what my teacher thought about each stupid book in our curriculum.
