Unit summary
Where you're from and where you live — the origin function. Closes the genitive-of-origin thread as frozen «из + country» chunks, generalizing the «Я из Москвы́» you already own.
units[22].summary.en
Communicative competency
After this unit, you'll be able to ask «Отку́да ты?» and «Где ты живёшь?», say where you're from (Я из Росси́и / А́встралии / Аме́рики / А́нглии / Кита́я) and where you live (Я живу́ в + city), and contrast the two (Я из Москвы́, а живу́ в Сидне́е).

You've already introduced someone from somewhere — Макси́м told you «Я из Москвы́», *I'm from Moscow.* Now it's your turn. Отку́да ты? — *where are you from?* The answer reuses that same little из: Я из Росси́и. Я из А́встралии. *From Russia, from Australia.* Listen. *Where are you from?* — Отку́да ты? *I'm from Russia.* — Я из Росси́и. *I'm from Australia.* — Я из А́встралии.

A few more places on the map. Аме́рика, А́нглия, Кита́й — *America, England, China.* Each follows the very same shape: из Аме́рики, из А́нглии, из Кита́я. Notice из nudges the end of the word a little — don't worry why yet; just take each «из X» as a pair. Listen. *I'm from America.* — Я из Аме́рики. *I'm from England.* — Я из А́нглии. *I'm from China.* — Я из Кита́я.
