Why study grammar when learning Russian? Words are the bricks of the Russian language. But piling up a bunch of bricks won’t build you a house. Grammar is the cement that holds the words together. Only by connecting words correctly do you give meaning to what you say. If you think that “you just need to speak,” or that “you don’t need to take a proficiency test, so grammar isn’t necessary,” or that “grammar isn’t needed at the beginner levels,” here are two sentences from early A1: Маша любит Пашу. Машу любит Паша. These are two completely opposite sentences in meaning - and that meaning is conveyed only by the cases. Reach out to me - I’ll put together the grammar puzzle for you into a single, living language 😊 #RussianLeague
