Russian Verb Strategy: Learning кто/что

The Russian case system is sometimes fairly straightforward: use the dative for indirect objects, the prepositional with certain prepositions, and so on. But then there are those verbs where the relationship may not be quite so clear: helping someone, being proud of someone or interested in something... the case you need may be different from what you'd expect from your native language.

So let's talk about a straightforward solution that lets you know whether a verb requires a certain case (or cases!), and whether you need a preposition. It's a simple habit that doesn't always get enough attention at the beginning levels.

Dr. Ford, you just gave me the Rosetta stone! This is exactly what I need to move up to the next level of understanding and usage.

I really love your English and pronunciation

Thank you very much, it is the strategy I used when learning German and it served me well. For Russian, up to B1 level, I have found the book Глагол всему голова extremely useful. It lists all the verbs for the Первый сертификационный уровень with this kind of constructions: Кто анализирует что? - Кто проанализировал что? and so on.

it gave me flashbacks of learning German. most of the time the cases are the same as in Russian (I am a native speaker), but sometimes they are different and it is so annoying :)
the worst one is "to remember". it is so easy and logical in Russian: помнить/вспомнить кого/что.
and so weird in German: sich erinnern an Dat - literally "помниться на кому/чему". you need a preposition, the case is "wrong", and when you have almost finished the sentence you realize you forgot "sich" ("-ся") so you have to repeat the sentence from the beginning T_T

Please I need a website that would provide me with the appropriate case of nouns used with the verb (“the typical cases that the verb would govern”)through providing the form or the cases for the question words кто что in Russian.
The same way it’s done in these dictionaries from the video

It's interesting to note that both German and Russian uses the dative for the verb 'to help', whereas someone like an English or French speaker would automatically think the accusative would simply be used.

Looking for recommendations of dictionaries for Russian particularly iOS apps, but also hard copies.
