If I wanna say "I'm one year away of finishing school?
How do I say that? The beginning confuses me.
Я один год от? Is that right?

If I wanna say "I'm one year away of finishing school?
How do I say that? The beginning confuses me.
Я один год от? Is that right?
- Мне осталось учиться один год
- Я окончу школу через год
- В следующем году я заканчиваю школу
- .....
Thank you very much. I think the closest translation that captures the essence is definitely:
- В следующем году я заканчиваю школу
Appreciate it!
one more thing
in Russia "school" (школа) means elementary/junior/high school (it's it the US gradations, IDK any in the Israel)
However word "школа" cannot be used if you talking about college or university - it will be колледж or университет
В следующем году я заканчиваю школу can usually be used if you continue explainingQuote:

If you want to say "I'm one year away of finishing school" , period, then it will be Я окончу (or закончу) школу через год.
Not quite. Imperfective is often used with finishing school or taking entry exams/ State Examination. At least, I don't feel any urge to continue sentence.Quote:
