  1. Intermediate (B1-B2)

    -нибудь and -то

    Russian -нибудь and -то turn кто, что and где into someone, anyone and anywhere. Learn which one a question needs and which one a statement needs.

  2. Beginner (A1-A2)

    Accusative Case

    The Russian accusative is mostly no change at all. The trap is animate nouns, which copy the genitive: why you see a стол but a брата, with charts and a quiz.

  3. Beginner (A1-A2)

    Adjectives

    Russian adjectives agree in gender, number and case at once. One chart covers them, and the endings copy a pronoun you already know.

  4. Beginner (A1-A2)

    Adverbs

    Most Russian adverbs are an adjective with -o instead of an ending. Language adverbs like по-русски, -ски forms and comparatives follow their own rules.

  5. Intermediate (B1-B2)

    Approximate Numbers

    Russian marks about ten minutes by flipping the word order: минут десять, not десять минут. One inversion, the same case rules as normal, no new word needed.

  6. Beginner (A1-A2)

    Cases Chart

    The six Russian cases in one chart: noun endings for every gender, which prepositions trigger which case, worked examples and a quiz to test yourself.
