I already posted this on another section but maybe it should have gone here.....ah well.

Since i started learning Russian in January this year, i've kind of struggled to get used to the grammatical terminology. Sure Dictionaries give examples, but honestly, is it just me or do they word it in a way that's not that easy to understand. I have many Oxford Dictionaries and teaching aids, one even uses says on it's cover "Clear and simple explanations", but i don't find them that clear or simple.

It's feels a bit scary not knowing what all of the terms mean, this stuff was forgotten by me years ago at School. I feel embarrassed not knowing really.

When i am at class my tutor says things like, today we will be doing, animate accusative rules or give me some examples of submeaning of the aspects. I have to say, i struggle until she gives me some examples i can understand. You know things like "I see the car" or "to have a nap" etc etc..

Does anyone know if there is book or website that makes grammatical terms easy to understand, maybe a "for the dumb" guide??

Thanks in advance!
