How to Study for a Russian Final



1. Review concepts
2. Draw pictures to illustrate concepts
3. Look at pictures and laugh
4. Disregard stares of people in study group
5. Repeat

My favorite study topic: Prefixed Verbs of Motion

Here's my study guide:
При-
При- arrival
У-
У- departure
В-
В- enter
Вы-
Вы- exit
Под-
Под- approach
От-
От- move away
