This course introduces students to the rich depth of Russian language and culture. In a supportive, interactive classroom environment students will begin to develop basic proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing Russian. Students begin by learning to read and write the Russian Cyrillic alphabet, then learn how to introduce themselves, inquire about others, speak about things they have, and discuss their studies and daily activities. Learning is reinforced with video interviews, audios, and self-correcting exercises to learn all four communicative skills in an easy and thorough way.
