Michael,
 
MD>WD> But, is gender in the Russian language something special? I mean the
MD>WD> difference between 'he', 'she' or it not that obvious?
 
MD> As opposed to English, every word in Russian has grammatical gender. And,
MD> by the way, it may not coinside with grammatical gender of the similar
MD> word in French or German. So, for a Russian a table is "he" and a bed is
MD> "she". I understand that it may sound crazy for an English ear. :)
 
Dutch is about the same.
 
Indeed for the native english speakers it presents a challenge ...
