The goals of this course are to improve students’ reading fluency and

a thorough review of Russian grammar, which will be presented and 
practiced using the textbook Grammatika v kontekste. In addition, 
grammatical forms will be contextualized by authentic texts, films, and 
songs.

This intensive course will cover the entire curriculum of Third Year

two two-hour blocks of classes each day (Monday-Friday, 8:50-10:45 and
