1st year Russian (fwd)

[Thomas R. Jr. Beyer]

At Middlebury we are using Russian now! from Barron's. It comes with a
text, workbook, three cassettes and a separate grammar booklet.
There are six contact hours per week. Students are expected to spend one
half to one hour per night reviewing, listening to cassettes and writing.
Since each student must purchase the cassettes there is no lab as such.
There are twenty five students in first year Russian and we hope to retain
20-22 thru teh winter and spring.
In second year there are nine students, and similar numbers in third and
fourth year, i.e. less than ten.
