Around you is the twenty-first (assuming read left to right) skill in the language tree for Russian. It contains six lessons and teaches words referring to places one can go to, as well as directions.

Grammar Notes[]

Locative[]

Some nouns, like аэропорт and пол when put into the prepositional after на/в instead gain an accented -у ending. There aren't a huge amount of these, but you should keep this in mind.

I speak Russian[]

This sentence in Russian is, "Я говорю по-русски." This actually translates to "I speak in a Russian way." All sentences regarding speaking or writing or reading or listening to the language will always use по followed by the language ending in just -и.
