    B1-B2. RU-EN Mishka's porridge. Adapted story of N.Nossov

    I present you a funny story by Nossov how  two boys cooked porridge. Sparkling humor, a huge number of dialogues will help you sound natural and joke in everyday conversations with your Russian friends. Grammar: verbs лить pour (water), сыпать pour (cereals), класть put with prefixes. You will "see" these verbs in the lesson thanks to a lot of illustrations. We also pour (нальём or насыпем) water or cereal into a mug, pour (выльем or высыпем) it out of a mug, add (дольём  or досыпем) it to a mug, pour (перельём or пересыпем)  it from one mug to another , this is how we will train grammar during the lesson!
