In this class, we will cover a basic conversation in Russian. Since this is a beginner's class, no prior knowledge is needed but I will attach a worksheet with the letters of the Russian alphabet if learners want to have a quick look before the lesson. Students will learn how to greet someone in Russian and how to introduce themselves, including how to give their name and say how they are. I will use a PowerPoint that has each word or phrase written in Russian. I will sound the word or phrase out, and encourage the learners to do the same. We will then go over what the word or phrase means, and different ways to remember it. Once we have covered these three conversation elements, if they feel comfortable, each student will be then given the chance to greet the class in Russian, give their name and ask the other learners how they are doing. I will try to encourage every learner speak as much Russian as possible during the lesson - the more chatting in this class the better!
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to greet someone and give their name in Russian. By the end of the lesson, learners will also know how to ask someone how they are doing, and how to respond if someone asks them this question.
Other Details
Supply List
All students will need a paper and pencil. A worksheet titled 'Introducing Yourself in Russian' will also be provided. If possible, this should be printed off. If not, students can follow along with a plain piece of paper and a pencil. I have also attached a worksheet that covers the Russian alphabet - but this is optional if students want a little extra taster of Russian!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am currently studying English and Russian at the University of Exeter. I have a love of languages and a passion for all things Russian! I believe that learning a language should be fun and so I aim to tailor all my lessons to the individual learners, whether you are a beginner or have been learning Russian for a few years. This means that each student can get the most out of every lesson and still enjoy learning Russian.
Russian is a beautiful but complex language. I like to use a variety of exercises and activities in every lesson to avoid endless lists and repetition. Speaking is, of course, also a crucial part of learning any language and so we will speak some Russian every lesson. This could be a few of the words we have learnt that day, or a full conversation - depending on the level at which you're studying.
Learning about the culture of a country comes hand-in-hand with learning the language. Russia has a rich culture and I like to acknowledge this in my lessons. This could include activities from listening to songs or reading poems in Russian to looking at pictures of Russian festivals and celebrations. Progress is important, but we will work at the pace which is enjoyable and right for you.
I studied Russian for both GCSE and A-Level and I am now studying Russian as part of my joint honours degree. I am an enthusiastic and hard-working student about to enter my third year at university. As a tutor, I would like to use my ability to help other students of all ages and levels in their study of languages.
