Спасибо, конечно, но непонятно, почему Вы считаете, что ответ неполный - Studied Russian too hard адекватно переведено как "перезанимался русским" - см. выше... |

| Note from asker to answererThis was extremely hard for me to decide, I have never had a harder time deciding on an answer for a KudoZ. Very difficult to be both 'fair' and 'correct'. I truly wish that (somehow) I could 'split' the points. Overall, Tatianas answer is best but it's not entirely complete, the part about 'studying Russian too hard' was simply left out. To complicate matters, some of the suggestions included in some 'agrees' are also equally valid as are parts of other answers. For example, i'm sure that everyone would agree that combining the first half of the answer given by petrichor with all of Tatyana L.s answer is a nice, colloquial expression that fully conveys my intended meaning. ;0) Therefore, I give this answer three points and thank everyone who tried to help me with this difficult question. Will.
