Introduction to Cases- Russian Intermediate Lesson

An introduction into Russian cases.

Sorry about the audio

[scorpio]

so far that is the best and clearest explanaition of Russian cases with simple plain English examples. This is what language lessons should be modelled on - bravo

[Alfy]

It is imposible to explain it more clear and simple !!!! Great !

[northidman]

Great job !! You have very clearly explained a very difficult concept in the Russian language. Even though you did not go into detail, your presentation gave a very good idea as to how the cases are constructed. By the way, thank-you, thank-you, thank you for the intermediate lesson !!! There are thousands of beginners lessons that exist in youtube for Russian. But lessons such as this, are very refreshing for us that are at a little higher level. Thanks for your time and effort.

You are the best teacher on the russian cases. You got all my problems solved just like that. Thank you so much for this video. You saved me.

I absolutely liked this lesson, this is the first time I truly understand cases and how they make russian russian. Thank you very much. I am teaching myself russian, I have reached about 500 words and a few dialogues and some russian songs.

This video was so easy to understand. I can now continue learning Russian as I have finally got my head round cases. Спасибо

Im a medical student studying in Russia. studying russian language is compulsory, didnt understand a thing until today.Thank you a million. You've helped a lot.

I agree, this has really made the cases make more sense to me. Did Russian at school over 17 years ago and just recently been trying to pick it up again at evening classes, but was really struggling with making sense of what the cases actually mean. Showing the English equivalents in a sentence really made it click.

Really great explanation.  You have taken away much fear and confusion, thanks.

[serajstyle]

good job, you did it very well, I have been studying Russian two years, and it's the first time have seen full and clear lesson like this, I wish you can post more Russian lessons and even in English.

I'm not even on intermediate level yet and this actually made sense. Thanks!

@PUTNAMEINTHISSPOT Usually Это for unspecified things (in general). For example, "It is good" = "Это хорошо". However, if you are talking about something already (neuter singular only), you should use Оно. For example: Я ел яблоко. Оно было вкусным = I ate an apple. It was delicious. I hope that helps.

You make a good explanation on cases, it helps me a lot. Thank you!

[LanguageStudies]

@northidman Glad that you enjoyed this :) I'll try to be getting some more intermediate lessons out soon.

[ire.charliejerezsuit]

you couldn't explain this better, congratulations

[LanguageStudies]

@serajstyle thanks :) I try to get videos out when I have some free time, but at the moment, I've been pretty busy. I will try to get one out soon!

[LanguageStudies]

@ZekeComa Sure, I'll do one as soon as I get the chance. But be prepared. In Russian word order is not as important as other languages. A lot of times (but not all), you can mix the words around and still have the same basic meaning.

[BlackLabelSlushie]

you explained this so clearly thank you!

I like cased languages. German only has 4 (really 3) Nom, Dat, Gen (not really used anymore), and Acc. It's just going to take some more practice to get used to the prepositional and instrumental cases. Great videos :). Can you do one on sentence structure like word order, etc.?
