Beginner Level
SUMMARY In this Russian Language course which consists of several levels, we will acquire a basic level of Russian needed to communicate, to be understood, and to understand other people, and get familiar with the language so it is no longer a stranger to us. This class continues to cover the fundamentals of Russian language and provides a solid base for communication. We will practice speaking and understanding, expanding our vocabulary and grammar knowledge. WHAT WE WILL LEARN In Level 7, we will learn more Russian and make more progress. We will main focus on new vocabulary about human face, places in town, numbers and addresses. Why this sequence of lessons? In traditional study of Russian, a lot of emphasis is put on studying the minute details of each letter and sound, and it takes months for students to progress which leaves them discouraged. In this class, a lot of emphasis will be put on the desire of learners to communicate in the target language. They want to say something, to read something, to understand others. We cover the most used vocabulary and grammar in the sequence that is recommended by polyglots who study Russian as a foreign language. CLASS PARTICIPATION To be successful in this course (as always): 1) Turn your camera on during the meetings for best experience; 2) Keep your mic on so that you can ask and answer questions and participate in class; 3) Bring a separate notebook for all the new words and phrases that we will learn and a folder for all the printouts; 4) Bring notes from all the past classes so you can refer to them as we build on our previous knowledge.
