Re: learning pali
I recommend getting started by learning by heart one Pali sutta that interests you such as the Dhammacakka Sutta. Familiarise yourself with the pronunciation and sentence structure of Pali first, before going into the grammar in any detail.
Other texts to consider learning are the Mangala Sutta, the Satipatthāna Sutta, or Dependent Origination.

Re: learning pali
The same way as you learnt Russian, by listening to it a lot.
