The Russian Alphabet is introduced in a special order that allows the students to start reading words and sentences from lesson one. The letters are supported by basic vocabulary and grammar structures that allow the student to speak from the very first page:greetings and introductions, articles, verb “to be”, unstressed “o”, intonation, who/what is this?, or, and, gender of nouns, personal pronouns you and us, counting 0-10.LEVEL 1 LESSON 10 – 16The next 10 lessons work on:Pronunciation (vowels, soft vowels, voiced and voiceless consonants, 7 letter rule, silent letters, hush rule)Vocabulary (colors, family, first name, last name, patronymic, informal names, which name to use and when, professions, calling on the phone, nationalities, I love fruit, I work for the firm, they live in, going to the theater)Grammar (adjectives, what, where, over here/there, what is your profession?, whose, ‘formal and informal "you" ?, possessive pronouns, short form adjectives, what is your nationality?, capitalization, verbs, present tense, personal pronouns in the accusative, plural nouns, verb conjugation, plural adjectives, plural possessive pronouns, russian case system of nouns, prepositional case, , very formal form of address, demonstrative pronouns)The students get the opportunity to read, write, speak, and listen in every lesson. All the previously covered topics and grammar are incorporated into the future lessons to allow to review and practice. All the information is introduced in our signature step by step approach, allowing the students to absorb the previous material and add the new one onto what they can already do in small easily digestible pieces. This minimizes the feeling of being “overwhelmed” and the loss of the already covered topics.
