Hi!
I teach Dutch to students between the ages 12-18. We have students from all different countries and languages.
At the moment there is a Russian student (16) in my class and he is making a lot of progress really fast, he seems really smart or at least really good at learning languages.
The other day I was trying to explain something grammatical but he didn’t understand and I didn’t know how to explain it differently. So I tried to explain it by referring to the Russian languages. I know that Russian has 6 cases (right??) but when I started talking about the cases he didn’t know what I was talking about. So I even named them (nom. dat. loc, etc.) but he said ‘no, we don’t have that in Russian.’
Am I an idiot and did I say something really stupid? Do Russian students not learn this in school? Do you use other words, so not ‘dative’, ‘genitive’ etc. but…?
I am really curious, the explanation went south after this and I am pretty sure that my student now thinks I am dense :)))))).

vuk i 7 jarića (dio 2)
Po treći put vuk pokucao na vrata. “Ja sam vaša mama” je rekao vuk. Jarića su čuo tih glas I gledao sivu šapu vuk I su misliè da vuk je bio njihove majke. Jarića su otvorili vratu…
Vuk je jeo malu jariću jednog po jednog. Samo najmanji jarić se je sakrio u stari zidni sat. Kada mama koza se je vratila, vidjela nered. Dozivala je svoje jarića ali niko se nije odazivao. Najmanji jarić izašao iz sata I ispričao šta se desilo.
Mama koza je išla u šumu. Ona je našala vuk. Vuk je spavao. Mama je uzela velike makaze I rasporila vukov stomak. Jarići su ostali nepovrijeđeni. Koza je natrpala kamenje u vukov stomak.
Kada se vuk je probudio bilo mu toliko lose da je odlučio da više nikada ne jede male jariće.

Vuk i 7 jarića (dio 1)
Vuk I sedam jarića.
Ja sam citala bajku. Naslov bajka je ‘vuk I 7 jarića’. Bajka ćemu o sedam jarica.
Mama koza je morala otići u kupovinu. Ali na šumi živi zli vuk. Tako mama koza je rekila jarici: “ne otvarite vrat za nikome! Kada ja pokucam na vrata cujete moj tih glas I gledate moj sivo krzno. “
Mama koza je otisala I brz vuk je pokucao na vrata I rekao: “otvorite vrata, jarići moji, to sam ja, vaša mama.” Ali pametan jarici su čuo promukao, dubok glas vuk. Jarići su rekali: “nećeš nas prevariti, ti si zli vuk!”
Vuk je išao u kokošinjac I je jeo nekoliko zvježih jaja da pročisti svoj duboka glasa. Vuk je pokucao po drugi put na vrata. “Ko je?” Su pitali jarići. “To sam ja, vaša mama”, je otgovorio vuk sa tihim glasom. Ali jarici su gledali smeđu šapu ispod vrate. Naravno jarici ne otvorili vratu. Onda vuk tražio vrecu brašna na šumi I je skočio u brašni. Sada njegov šapa su bile siva.
