Russian   

This course will acquaint you with the fundamentals of the Russian language, including the Cyrillic alphabet, basic grammar and vocabulary, and elementary conversation skills. We will also talk about literature, history, art, music, and food, in order to gain insight into Russian culture and supplement your language learning.

This course is for students who have some previous knowledge of Russian, or have successfully completed non-credit Russian 1. The objective of the course is to continue building confidence and developing communicative skills, to improve knowledge of Russian grammar and vocabulary.

Keep growing your Russian skills in a supportive, conversational setting. This course builds on Russian 2 by introducing new vocabulary, reinforcing key grammar, and practicing longer dialogues about everyday situations. You’ll read short texts, listen to simple recordings, and explore more aspects of Russian culture, all while boosting your confidence to communicate.

Continue your journey with Russian 4, designed for students who have completed Russian 3 or the equivalent. You’ll expand your vocabulary, polish your grammar, and practice holding conversations on familiar topics with greater ease. Cultural activities—like film clips, songs, and articles—add context and fun, helping you use Russian more naturally in real-world situations.
