I think you underestimate Russian grammar, it's very complex but very &quot;powerful&quot;. You can maybe forego declensions (they're actually pretty easy to learn and you really sound like a caveman without them) but verb aspects and the use of prefixes not so much. Using the perfective instead of the imperfective means saying &quot;I will go&quot; instead of &quot;I'm going&quot;, the prefixes are what give the verb all their meaning, they're the difference between &quot;go&quot;, &quot;come&quot;, &quot;go through&quot;, 'go in/out&quot;, etc.
