Not only "у":
о них (про них) = about them
для них = for them
за них (вместо них) = instead of them

etc.

"To there" - do you really need "to"?

I think Pimsleur just wants to make sure the student understands it's not the same as "там".

Thank you,

Thank you! Transcripts of Pimsleurs Russian do not exist anywhere, except here, so your work is helping me, and many others, a lot!!! I only ask that you try to do a complete transcript of each lesson - (I know this is like looking a gift horse in the mouth ). But again, Thank You!!!!!

It could be easy to make the whole transcript. If Pimsleur is not so vast in volume.

I do not see the point of doing a whole transcription of each lesson. I just put all the new material (I hope) in each lesson in my notes. I do not copy the repitition or most full sentences. Why? I want to be able to do it on my own. To me these notes are used to reinforce the lessons and also learn how to read/write Russian. I also put in the cases so I study grammer at the same time.
I am thinking of rearranging the notes though. Instead of lesson 23 "I verb", then lesson twenty eight "You same verb as before". Putting them together. All verb conjugations together. I want to continue with the lessons and see where it goes.
