Lesson#1
Getting across a large town or city often requires combining walking with the underground, buses, or trams. In this deck, you will learn how to ask for the best route, count stops, make interchanges, and navigate pedestrian crossings. This practical vocabulary will help you move independently through any Russian urban transit network.
Lesson#2
To ask a stranger for directions to a destination, Russians often begin with 'подскажите, пожалуйста', which literally means 'suggest, please' or 'tell me, please'. To ask how to get somewhere using transport, use 'как доехать до' followed by the genitive case. 'Подскажите, пожалуйста, как доехать до центра?' means 'Tell me, please, how do I get to the centre?'.
Quiz#3
Speaking politely, translate into Russian: 'Tell me, please, how do I get to the centre?'

Подскажите, пожалуйста, как доехать до центра?

Lesson#4
When you want to find the quickest route rather than just any route, use the verb 'добраться' with the comparative adverb 'быстрее', meaning 'faster'. 'Как быстрее добраться до вокзала?' means 'How do I get to the station fastest?'.
Quiz#5
Translate into Russian: 'How do I get to the station fastest?'

Как быстрее добраться до вокзала?

Lesson#6
When asking which mode of transport is best suited for your trip, Russians say literally 'on what is it better to travel': 'На чём лучше доехать?'. To recommend a specific vehicle, use 'лучше поехать на' followed by the prepositional case. For example, 'Лучше поехать на метро' means 'It is better to go by underground'.
