The course is structured in accordance with the educational program recommended by the Federal Methodological Association of Russia. The course offers a comprehensive ten-day introduction to the Russian language for beginners. Students will start with the basics: they will become acquainted with the Russian alphabet and delve into phonetics to learn reading from scratch. They will master the rules of reading and pronunciation of new sounds in Russian. In addition, students will learn to introduce themselves and others in various situations - both formal and informal. They will acquire the ability to express gratitude and apologize, as well as respond to expressions of thanks and apologies. Students will also become familiar with the categories of masculine, feminine, and neuter gender nouns and possessive pronouns, and will learn to form the plural of nouns of different genders. An integral part of the course will be the study of ways to ask various questions, such as "What is this?", "Who is this?", "Where is the restaurant?", and "Whose phone is this?", as well as how to respond to them. Furthermore, students will acquire the ability to count up to 20 and expand their vocabulary. The course will lay a solid foundation for further study of the Russian language and provide students with recommendations for effective learning. P.S. Special Bonus: After each lesson, you will receive a link to flashcards with new words and online exercises for memorizing them. All necessary textual and audio materials will be provided as well.
