Expressing "to" and "from" in Russian

Learning how to express "to" and "from" when going places in Russian isn't too difficult, but we do need to pay attention to context. Are you going "to" a city, or country? Or an island, or dacha, or a concert? Or maybe to a friend's place?
Knowing how to express "to" is also the key to expressing "from" a place, whether it's a city, an event, or your friend's place (or a dentist!).
In this video we'll cover all the possibilities, including the case endings you'll need to go with each preposition.

as a russian I can say that your pronunciation is really nice, thank you for teaching our hard language!

OMG, I love виз-нас-кот. Easy to remember. Thanks so much.

One thing that helps me is that к works like zu in German. And the kicker is that both к and zu require the dative! Yet I still need to remember that there's a case difference between the two languages when you're already at a person's house (у + genitive in Russian, bei + dative in German).

Omg this is so helpful in learning Russian! As a Cebuano speaker, I can relate to these motion/movement words since we have a similar concept too.

Of all the Russian language videos, these are the very best. I'd love to meet the guy who does these some day.

Given this is for learners of Russian, it would help to speak SLOWLY

KZbin really encourages shorts, and some commenters have said they're helpful for a quick review; but they do require a quick pace, and so aren't suitable for introductions or thorough discussion. For a more leisurely pace and more examples on this topic, try this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4GuiYp-iKqMfck 🙂

You could also try to ask or request something a bit nicer...
