1.8 Listening – Чей это…? (Whose?)

The following is NEW material but RELATED very closely to what you’ve been learning. Look the images below. Read and listen to the accompanying Russian audio. Practice reading aloud and repeating what you hear. You will probably be asked to record something like this of your own pretty soon.

NOTICE the new possessive pronouns! Notice that the words for ‘our‘ and ‘your‘ CHANGE, but pronouns for ‘his‘, ‘her‘, and ‘their‘ do NOT!
