Through specially prepared dialogues you’ll practise the verbs встречать/встречаться\, жениться/пожениться\, являться\, случаться/случиться\, учиться/научиться. As part of the course you’ll have access to online exercises aimed at drilling the use of aspects (particularly the perfective future of verbs like вернуться\, остановиться) and you will be invited to submit a short piece of homework for detailed feedback. \nFor A2 students.

SUMMARY:Russian through film: «На Дерибасовской хорошая погода\, ...»
DESCRIPTION:A fantastic short course for advanced students\, based on an authentic Russian film: these two sessions are focussed on the 1992 film На Дерибасовской хорошая погода\, или На Брайтон-Бич опять идут дожди. It’s an unusual Russian-American comedy\, and the last film directed by Leonid Gaiday. It captured the atmosphere of a time when cooperation between Russia and the West seemed not just possible\, but inevitable. The film is full of references to real events and people of the early 1990s and earlier. \nThe first lesson will look at excerpts from the film\, examine the background and context\, and introduce key themes and vocabulary. \nDuring the week between lessons\, your task will be to watch the film. The second lesson will then give you the chance to discuss what you’ve seen and test how well you have understood it. \nYou’ll learn new vocabulary\, practise your listening comprehension\, improve your discussion and analysis skills – and you’ll pick up a wealth of fascinating historical and cultural information. \n-Suitable for anyone interested in improving their listening skills and learning more about Russian history and culture. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re really ready to watch a film in the original Russian\, now is the time to find out!

SUMMARY:Russian Book Club: Two Works by Pushkin
DESCRIPTION:Our long-awaited book club is for anyone who is interested in Russian literature but is daunted by the prospect of reading a complete work in the original! \nEach month we select a classic or contemporary Russian literary work to read in translation. While our discussions are held in English\, we incorporate excerpts and quotes in Russian into the sessions to provide an authentic experience. The club is hosted by an experienced teacher\, who will tailor the language element to the levels of the participants. So whether you’re an elementary or advanced learner of Russian\, our book club welcomes all levels of proficiency. \nThis session we will be reading ‘The Shot’ and ‘Mozart and Salieri’ by Pushkin. \n‘He defeated both time and space.’ Anna Akhmatova\, 1961 \nAlexander Pushkin is considered to be the father and an indisputable genius of Russian literature. \nThe Shot is a story from the collection of five stories Tales of Belkin. Mozart and Salieri is a part of the Little Tragedies written in a poetic form. \nThey both bring up eternal questions of the complexity of human nature\, ambiguity and the duality of good and evil. \n We recommend reading Pushkin in the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky Boris Godunov\, Little Tragedies\, and Others: The Complete Plays (Vintage Classics): Amazon.co.uk: Pushkin\, Alexander: 9780593467565: Books \nNovels\, Tales\, Journeys: Alexander Pushkin: Amazon.co.uk: Pushkin\, Alexander\, Pevear\, Richard\, Volokhonsky\, Larissa: 9780241290378: Books \nWe also recommend watching the Little Tragedies and The Shot \nLittle Tragedies (Маленькие трагедии) 1979 in English Online \nВыстрел (драма\, реж.
