In this course, the student is introduced to the basics of Russian
pronunciation and grammar. The course begins with an intensive study of the
Russian sound system and orthographic rules (the alphabet and correct
spelling).
The course structure provides a balanced approach, integrating vocabulary with functionally based grammar explanations. The course is supplemented by video shows. Students who intend to concentrate in Russian Language and Literature or in Russian and East European Studies might consider taking the intensive class, RUSSIAN 103.
