By the end

What you'll build

  • Understand verb aspect and choose between imperfective and perfective
  • Conjugate present-tense verbs in both conjugation patterns
  • Form the past tense, which agrees with gender rather than person
  • Use the accusative and prepositional cases in everyday sentences
  • Express 'I have' the Russian way, without a verb for 'to have'
  • Keep a conversation running with the words Russians actually use
