Description

Once you know the basics, the Dative Case is your next big step toward natural Russian. It is the case of kindness (giving), communication (calling), and even your own feelings and age!

What makes this lesson different? Forget about endless grammar tables. As a university teacher with 25 years of experience, I show you the logic behind the endings. Why do we say "Мне нравится" instead of "Я нравлюсь"? Why does your age need the Dative case? We will answer these "whys" together. 
In this lesson, we will cover:

  • The Logic of Giving: How to use verbs like give, call, help, and tell.

  • Emotions & Age: Mastering the "Мне 20 лет" and "Мне холодно" constructions.

  • Visual Patterns: My illustrated presentations will show you the endings in a way that’s easy to visualize and remember.

  • Practical Practice: We will create real-life dialogues: "Buying a gift," "Calling a friend," and "Sharing your feelings."

  • I use a communicative-cognitive approach. First, we see the pattern in a vivid illustration, then we understand the rule, and finally, we use it in a conversation.

  • Elementary learners (A1): You should already be able to read and know basic Russian verbs.

     

    Intermediate refreshers: If you are confused about when to use the Dative case. My method is based on visual logic. Instead of memorizing grammar tables from a book, you will see how the language works through my PPTX slides. This approach is especially effective for the Dative case, as it allows you to 'see' the direction of the action (to whom/for what) through images and clear patterns."
