In this episode, I talk about why memorizing Russian case endings didn’t work for me, how I finally started understanding what cases actually do, and why connecting grammar to meaning made such a big difference.

I also share why the genitive case was the first case that started to make sense to me, how English speakers can think about cases more clearly, and why I now believe learners should focus on one case at a time instead of trying to learn everything all at once.

If Russian cases feel overwhelming, confusing, or completely random, this episode is for you.
