Family is central to Russian culture and daily conversation.
In this lesson, you will learn words for family members.
You will be able to introduce your family and talk about relationships.
Russian has separate words for maternal and paternal relatives. For example, 'дядя' (uncle) and 'тётя' (aunt) are used universally, but 'свёкор' (father-in-law, husband's father) differs from 'тесть' (father-in-law, wife's father).
