| Hi everyone. |
| I am Anastasia Komarova. |
| Всем привет. (Vsem privet.) |
| Меня зовут Анастасия Комарова. (Menya zovut Anastasiya Komarova.) |
| Welcome to the Russian Whiteboard Lessons. |
| So today in this lesson you will learn how to ask and give simple directions in Russian. |
| Let's get started. |
| Поехали. (Poyekhali.) |
| And now let's look at the dialogue. |
| When I read I want you to pay attention to prepositions that show direction. |
| Find these prepositions and see how it's used in the dialogue. |
| Imagine that you are lost or can't figure out how to find a building, place or some object you need. |
| Где находится библиотека? (Gde nakhoditsya biblioteka?) |
| Where is the library? |
| Библиотека находится перед школой. (Biblioteka nakhoditsya pered shkoloy.) |
| The library is in front of the school. |
| The question. |
| Где находится библиотека? (Gde nakhoditsya biblioteka?) |
| The answer. |
| Библиотека находится перед школой. (Biblioteka nakhoditsya pered shkoloy.) |
| Библиотека, the library, находится is перед, in front of, школой, the school. |
| Библиотека, library, school, школа. |
| Sometimes the verb can be omitted. |
| It will sound a little informal. |
| Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern was the structure that our dialogues followed. |
| Place находится direction. |
| Place is direction. |
| For example, например, библиотека находится direction. |
| The library is direction. |
| The words that we use for asking and giving simple directions. |
| Находится, лежит, is. |
