Practice Tips
Label objects in your kitchen with sticky notes in Russian.
Practice pronouncing words out loud while cooking or setting the table.
Try using these words in simple sentences, such as:
«Где моя ложка?» (Where is my spoon?)
«Я беру чашку.» (I take a cup.)
«Поставь кастрюлю на плиту.» (Put the pot on the stove.)
Learning kitchen vocabulary will not only improve your Russian language skills but also help you in everyday life situations. Happy learning!
