Articles (Russian has none)

Russian has no a/the, so el/la/un/una gets dropped. Spanish needs an article with most nouns — and it carries the gender too.

Present-tense "to be" can’t be skipped

Russian drops "to be" in the present (он врач = "he doctor"); Spanish never does — "él ES médico". And it splits into ser vs estar, a fresh distinction.

Aspect is your head start (advantage!)

The preterite/imperfect split maps closely onto Russian perfective/imperfective — сделал ≈ hice, делал ≈ hacía. Trust that instinct.

core challenge

Gender + adjective agreement

Articles and adjectives agree with the noun: el libro rojo / la casa roja.

core challenge

ser vs estar

ser = identity/permanent, estar = state/location. English merges both into "to be".

core challenge

Subjunctive mood

Triggered by doubt, wishes, emotion (espero que… vengas).
