Russian Genitive case

The Most Comprehensive Guide to the
Russian Genitive Case

This guide is not a simple book with grammar explanations. It is a whole course that will help you master the Russian Genitive case in a fun, engaging and easy way. Learning Russian cases can be a really daunting task if you use wrong materials with boring grammar explanations and complicated tables of endings. But this guide will show you that you can hack this system and understand how it works instead of merely memorizing tons of information.

In this guide, you will find all possible situations when the Genitive case is needed. Moreover, you will learn lots of fixed expressions with the Genitive case that you will be able to use in your speech. 

And the 'treasure' of this guide is a final story about a man named Gena (association with the Genitive case). This story contains all situations that require the use of the Genitive case. This story was created based on a TPRS method (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) that is extremely effective for learning new languages. And in the end of the book you will find a good bonus that will put your Russian on the next level!

Russian Accusative case

The Most Comprehensive Guide to the
Russian Accusative Case

The Russian Accusative case acts like a chameleon. When it is used with inanimate objects, it answers the question 'Что?' (What?) and replicates the Nominative case. But when it is used with animate (alive) objects, it answers the question 'Кого?' (Who(m)?) and is similar to the Genitive case depending on the gender. There are many different situations when you need to use the Accusative case to show an indirect object.

In this guide, you will find all situations when we need to use the Accusative case with nouns / pronouns / adjectives. This guide is not a simple book with grammar explanations. It is a whole course that will help you master the Russian Accusative case in a fun, engaging and easy way. 

But the key element of this guide is the final story that sums up all situations when the Accusative case is needed. This is a story about a household spirit called Kuzya (association with Accusative case).

Russian Prepositional case

The Most Comprehensive Guide to the
Russian Prepositional Case

The Russian Prepositional case is considered to be one of the easiest Russian cases especially comparing with the Genitive and Accusative cases. First of all, as its name implies, it can only be used when a noun is accompanied by a preposition. Secondly, the range of possible endings is very limited which makes it easy to form it. Nevertheless, it's not always obvious to guess when the Prepositional case is needed. That is why it's recommended to learn all situations that require the use of the Prepositional case at once in order to see the big picture (how these situations are interconnected). 

 

This guide is not a simple book with grammar explanations. It is a whole course that will help you master the Russian Prepositional case in a fun, engaging and easy way. 

And the 'treasure' of this guide is a final story about a bear named Preppa (association with the Prepositional case). This story contains the key situations that require the use of the Prepositional case.
