Reviving one's knowledge of Russian

[John Langran]

Dear Brian
You ask for any other ideas. Several U3A groups in the UK use my Ruslan 
Russian course, one of the reasons being that since the course is relatively 
new, learners restarting Russian after a long break won't find they are 
going over old material. For an intermediate / advanced group, Ruslan 3 
might be useful and you can find lesson 1 (which by chance has material 
about retirement in Russia) at www.ruslan.co.uk/demos.htm
Where are you based? If in the UK, the U3A here have recently appointed a 
Russian coordinator. I can put you in touch with her if appropriate. Please 
write off list john at ruslan.co.uk

Subject: [SEELANGS] Reviving one's knowledge of Russian


I have volunteered to run a U3A group to revive/practise Russian for people 
with an intermediate or advanced knowledge of the language. U3A ("University 
of the Third Age") is an organisation for older/retired people who help each 
other to learn. The format would be that half a dozen people would come to 
my house and we would study together. I would be learning along with the 
others - I did my degree in 1969 and haven't done much with it since then.

I'm planning how to organise the time if the group gets going. For example, 
it would be useful if there was an Internet TV channel in Russian which 
provided the written text of recorded programmes. We could study the text 
and then watch the programme. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any other 
ideas?

Thanks,
Brian
