Learning Russian through reading stories

Stories will help you naturally grasp Russian's tricky grammar, such as the case system, where word endings change based on how they're used in a sentence. You'll see how perfective and imperfective verb aspects work in real situations. You'll pick up on how verbal prefixes can completely change what a verb means. Plus, you'll get used to seeing patronymics (special middle names) and diminutives (cute nickname forms) in everyday use.
