The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures of University of  
Washington (Seattle) is pleased to announce that it will offer  
Intensive First-Year Russian in Summer 2011:

Dates: June 20 - August 19

Times: 8:30-9:30 am, 9:40-10:40 am, 10:50-11:50 am, and 1:10-2:10 pm,  
Daily

Credits: 15

This course is a thorough introduction to the Russian language for  
students
with no previous knowledge of Russian. A strong emphasis is placed on
developing oral skills by practicing vocabulary and grammar in patterns
that imitate natural conversational exchanges. Classroom instructions  
are
mostly conducted in Russian. In addition, students will learn about
Russian culture, history, traditions, and daily life routines. This
intensive course will cover the entire curriculum of First-Year  
Russian in
just nine weeks.

The program (we will also be offering intensive 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th- 
year Russian) includes extracurricular activities such as films,  
language tables for conversation practice, singing, poetry-reading and  
drama performances, and lectures on Slavic cultures. A number of  
recreational activities are usually organized, depending on the  
interests of the student group, ranging from hikes and bicycle rides  
to museum visits, concert outings, and even the culinary arts!
