Questions & Answers about Со временем мне становится легче говорить по-русски.

Why is it со временем and not с временем?

The preposition is basically с (with, from), but Russian has a special rule: before some consonant clusters, с becomes со to make pronunciation easier.

• с
  • в → со временем
• с
  • встречи → со встречи
• с
  • мной → со мной

Saying с временем is not wrong phonologically, but the fixed expression meaning over time / as time goes by is almost always со временем. It’s a set phrase.
