Thread: verbs of motion

Hi everyone,

Just getting stuck into the lovely world of verbs of motion. As you've probably guessed the subjects driving me potty.

Is there a good textbook i could get purely about verbs of motion. I'd feel so much better if i could just get to grips with it.

Thanks

Joe

It's pretty rare to find. I think it was originally a publication in the USSR for non-russian speakers but you can find used copies on Amazon.com or other bookstores on the web. Here's the link to Amazon for it...
