What material will an Omaha Russian course cover?

Russian falls under the Slavic language group together with other languages like Polish, Czech, Slovenian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian. It uses a case system, which you will learn in more detail in the course. Cases affect the form of nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and numerals and they show the grammatical function of the word in the sentence.

As an overview, here are the six cases in Russian and how they are used:

1. nominative case - shows the subject or the predicate
2. genitive case - shows possession and negation
3. dative case - marks the indirect object
4. accusative case - shows the direct object
5. instrumental case - shows how the action is done
6. prepositional (or locative) case - shows where the action takes place

Russian is also a gendered language similar to French, Spanish, and German. It has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Unlike other gendered languages, you can mostly predict the gender of nouns in Russian just by looking at the ending of their spelling.

Your Omaha Russian class will also cover topics such as pronunciation, the Russian alphabet, essential vocabulary, and common phrases. While you are studying the language, you will also learn about Russian culture and famous literary works from Russian authors like Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Dostoevsky.
