About Your first Russian sentences
Build useful Russian skills through your first russian identity sentences, noun gender and my or your, useful questions and courteous replies.
Choose a concrete goal
Begin with your first russian identity sentences. Read its examples for meaning, then explain one contrast aloud before choosing an answer. Each lesson gives a model you can adapt to your own situation.
Move from examples to your own sentences
Read the modeled decision first. Complete the guided example with the answer covered. After the explained questions, write or say the two production responses. Compare your meaning and form with the models; several personal answers can be valid.
Return after a pause
Try the same distinctions again later without rereading first. If an answer changes the person, object, register or intended meaning, say exactly what changed. Regional labels describe the documented expression rather than every speaker. Follow the source links for the limits behind a short beginner rule.
