Today’s article is for those who start building their “house” of the #RussianLanguage.
(All the others, please, wait a bit ;) ).
What do we usually talk about… when we speak? -
We either
- talk about our actions, say what we DO (=verbs)

- or NAME objects (=nouns), persons (=pronouns) and DESCRIBE them (=adjectives)

------------------------
LET'S SUM UP:
2 (!) “building blocks”, or structures, you need to build your “simple house”. Only two - to talk in Russian, and be understood :
1) the 1st structure - to talk of what you DO (want, feel)/DID or WILL DO -
- is called: “Russian verb conjugation in the Present (1 lesson)/ Past (1 lesson)/ Future (1 lesson) tenses” (= 3 lessons)
2) the 2nd one - to name & describe objects & persons -
- is called: “Russian nouns: gender + plural; Russian adjectives & pronouns: gender + plural" (= 4 lessons)
------------------------
HOW LONG:
7 theoretical lessons (3+4, as you've seen above) + 4-8 "training" lessons (after each theoretical one) to translate knowledge into your skills.
This is the minimum necessary you can use when planning your learning process.
