RUSS 21 and RUSSIAN 22 “Elementary Russian for Bilingual Students”, a fully online course. These courses are designed for Russian “heritage learners” who were born to Russian-speaking parents. I look forward to being your instructor and working together to help those who received the gift of bilingualism from their families, turn this gift into a useful tool.
You can already speak Russian. It makes you the perfect audience for an online course in Russian.
The main purpose of these courses is to master basic reading and writing skills, to improve your grammar and expand your vocabulary. It will allow you to not just be able to read and write in Russian, but to enjoy it.
Students who already speak Russian, but who are not proficient in writing, will learn and master Russian spelling rules, basic grammar and morphology necessary to write in Russian. You will also work on developing your reading skills in Russian.
Hope you are looking forward to an interesting, productive, and valuable learning experience together.
Our time will be divided between traditional in-person class time and our online coursework.
will be dedicated to oral exercises and practice. Classes meet weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:10 - 3:25 pm (CCSF Ocean Campus).
will be dedicated to reading, listening, watching presentation materials as well as reviewing materials covered in class.
We hope that this format will help you fit your studies of Russian into your busy life.
