Homework · confident conversation + genitive

Привет,
Мария! 🌸

A small set for turning things you already know into confident, natural conversation.

Start with these three: the genitive taps, one short real-life conversation and the one-minute street-style clip. The other cards are five-minute extras for another day.

One small map

Genitive: three triggers

Spot the meaning first. The ending follows.

FROM · изиз Ло́ндона
из Румы́нии
NOT · нетнет маши́ны
нет вре́мени
OF · whose?цвет пла́тья
су́мка подру́ги

After к, г, х, ж, ш, ч, щ, feminine nouns take и: кни́га → нет кни́ги.

Five-minute taps

Fast check

Choose once. The answer appears straight away.

TASK 1 · GENITIVE

Which sentence works?

TASK 2 · CLOTHES + COLOURS

Make the colours agree

The ending matches the clothing word.

LITTLE EXTRA · TAP TO REVEAL

With whom?

Say the Russian phrase first, then tap.

Speak for real

A little story from England

Choose the person and keep it relaxed: call your grandma, or chat with any Russian-speaking acquaintance. A few sentences are enough.

TASK 3 · VOICE NOTE

Как твоя́ жизнь в А́нглии?

Your choice: call your grandma or chat with a Russian-speaking acquaintance. Use any three prompts below and one genitive phrase. No performance, just a small real conversation.

FIVE-MINUTE EXTRA · CONVERSATION

Three questions for a Russian-speaking friend

Ask any one now, save the others for later.

Что ты но́сишь сего́дня?

С кем ты лю́бишь проводи́ть вре́мя?

Что тебе́ нра́вится в А́нглии?

A treat for your ears
