Fun with Russian    NEW!

Here is your chance to improve your beginning Russian in a highly interactive, informal class that will cater to the needs of its participants. We will use a minimum of English, and repeat and contextualize Russian so that you can understand! Understanding what is being said and responding in Russian are the key goals. Grammar will be discussed only when needed, as our focus will be on speaking Russian. We will use email to provide notes for classes, vocabulary, as well as texts of poems and songs to experience in class. Unless Russian students materialize suddenly, this will be a small class, and it will certainly be low-pressure, supportive, and fun. NOTE: We don’t expect students with fluent Russian. Experience shows that some students struggle with pronunciation, some with the Cyrillic alphabet, and some with both. Please come to the first class to see how it suits you.
