Lesson#1
In this deck, you will learn how to discuss topics, thoughts, and conversations in Russian. When you say you are thinking, speaking, reading, or asking about someone or something, Russian uses a special preposition followed by the prepositional case. You will learn how this preposition changes its sound and how it pairs with nouns and pronouns.
Lesson#2
To ask what or who a conversation is about, Russian uses two essential question phrases. 'О чём?' means 'About what?', and 'О ком?' means 'About whom?'. Notice that both phrases start with the preposition 'О'.
