I'm preparing the ground to hit up cases soon, so I'm looking for advice on how to drill them? I found with my first language-learning experience, it was useful for me to repetitively (obsessively) drill the conjugation of verbs, whilst going back and forth reviewing their actual use and meaning. I had no shortage of workbooks/exercise books to drill them with Italian, but the resources I've come across so far (including the master resource list on here) tend to be big on explanations, but short on actual opportunities to practice. Does anyone have any tips please?
Russian in Exercises : full of basic exercises, one case at a time, keys at the end for the majority of them, no explanations: you already have to know what's going on.
Чистая грамматика: same as previously, but a little more advanced. Often used by online teachers/tutors to zero in on specific difficulties of intermediate learners.
The two books treat also the verbal system: aspect, verbs of mouvement, participles, etc...
