Beginning Russian This course is a continuation of the approach used in RUSS 0102, but with increased emphasis on reading.

Beginning Russian This course is an approach to the language using four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). It provides a firm control of the sound system and the structure of Russian. Although much emphasis is put on the spoken colloquial language, reading, writing, and a conscious understanding of the fundamentals of grammar prepare a strong foundation for work in advanced courses or for reading in specialized fields.

Intermediate Russian Systematic review of grammar and development of the spoken and written skills attained in Beginning Russian.

Intermediate Russian Continuation of the approach used in RUSS 0201. Reading of contemporary Russian texts, conversation, and written assignments in Russian based on reading assignments.

I really love Kevin, even if I was intimidated by him at first. I thought that the first few weeks of class were the most difficult (wrapping my head around cases was particularly challenging), but it got easier! The year also became more enjoyable as I talked to Kevin more and got to know him better. A really interesting person with whom I'm grateful to have taken a class.

This course is taught by Timothy and Kevin. There is homework every day and unit tests once or twice a month but instructors are super accommodating. Professors are both very optimistic and joke around in class. Would 100% take again!
