Lesson#1
In this deck, you will learn to ask where someone is from and state nationality and origin in Russian. You will practise pairing the preposition 'из' with country names, alongside words for nationalities.
Lesson#2
To ask where someone is from, Russian uses the question word 'откуда', meaning 'where from'. To ask a friend, say 'Откуда ты?'. In formal contexts or when addressing more than one person, ask 'Откуда вы?'.
Quiz#3
Speaking to a friend, translate into Russian: 'Where are you from?'

Откуда ты?

Quiz#4
Speaking formally, translate into Russian: 'Where are you from?'

Откуда вы?

Lesson#5
To state where you are from, use the preposition 'из' followed by the Genitive case. For Russia, 'Россия' changes to 'из России'. The word for Russian behaves like an adjective: a man says 'Я русский', a woman says 'Я русская', and a group says 'Мы русские'.
Quiz#6
Translate into Russian: 'I am from Russia.'

Я из России
