Heh thanks. Good luck with the Russian. It looks really scary at first, but once you get into it things go smoothly. Just memorize your cases! That is the tricky part.

Um well. I'm not thoroughly versed in my grammar but.. cases are aspects of the language I suppose. EX- Accusative case is for direct objects. Instead of having articles and things, Russian changes the end of the word. Each case has a different set of endings. I'm probably not explaining it quite right. Trust me, it will make sense in class. :)
