STUDENTS
Subject Russian
PROGRAM Learners: This course is designed for k-1 students who would like to start learning Russian as foreign language. No previous exposure to or studies of Russian is necessary.

Goals: The main goals of this course are to introduce the vocabulary necessary for basic communication, to develop oral comprehension of simple sentences, questions, and directions in Russian, and to build basic reading and writing skills using Cyrillic alphabet.

Content of studies: The units are based on the principle of going from more simple to more complex structures. All four areas of language (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) are practiced during each class and reinforced with homework which will not rely on any outside help. (It is understood that student’s family does not necessarily know Russian.) Along with introducing new material, every unit actively recycles and reviews lexical and grammatical material from the previous units. The themes of this year will be focused on the learner: his or her body, family, friends, and everyday activities. The main grammatical structures that we will cover this year are: the gender and number of nouns, pronouns, and adjectives, as well as different forms of verbs, and various types of sentences.
