Learning outcomes
A continuous 6 semester course intended for students who are interested in studying Russian as an additional foreign language or want to acquire, in their own interest, a communicative command of Russian from elementary to intermediate level. However, rather than having to sign up for all the 6 semesters, students are free to decide how many semesters they need or are required to take by their department. By means of texts, dialogues and practical exercises, students familiarize themselves with both grammar structure and vocabulary of contemporary Russian. In the future, knowledge of Russian could increase the students? opportunities on the job market.
Students learn to read and write the Cyrillic alphabet without difficulties. They have a command of the vocabulary and grammar in lessons 1-5 in the textbook Štěpánka Pařízková: Ruština pro začátečníky a samouky, 2007.
