Koralova  \nFRIENDLY RUSSIAN  \nIntroductory Course  \nPart I  \nRUSS 1201  \nNo reproduction of any part may take place without the written permission of the author.  \n2  \nPreface  \nThis Introductory course is called “Friendly Russian” for two main reasons: first, because I did my best not to leave anything unexplained (with the exception of one section – see below); second, because the course has a very practical orientation, both in terms of vocabulary and grammar. The course also gives you some tips on Russian culture, which is very important in any intercultural activity.  \nOrganization of the book  \nThis Introductory Course consists of three chapters.  \nThe primary purpose of the first chapter is to teach you how to read Russian. Russian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet. On your way, you will get familiar with many Russian words (mostly nouns) and will also learn some important grammar structures.  \nThe second chapter will introduce you to Russian verb conjugations, the prepositional case of nouns and personal pronouns, as well as basic numerals.  \nIn the third chapter, students are introduced to basic adjectives and other adjectival words, as well as more numerals (cardinal and ordinal) .  \nAfter completion of this course, you are expected to have mastered reading, to be able to name many things around you, to describe them, to say (and to ask) who they belong to, where they are located, and also to speak about yourself your family, about some places (cities/towns, houses, dormitories, etc.), and some activities. All of this should give you a very solid basis for dealing with other Russian language issues later on.  \nBeyond the alphabet, you will find 6 sections in every lesson:  \nGrammar  \nReading Practice  \nExercises  \nSurvival Kit  \nLanguage and Culture  \nSpeech Practice  \nAll of these names are self-explanatory except perhaps for one: From the Survival Kit. This small section contains very common conversational formulas whose grammatical base will be explained later (in more advanced chapters). Try to put them to use right away in Speech Practice assignments. Such carefully selected ‘running ahead of grammar’ is necessary if you want the language to become functional sooner rather than later.  \nThere is also a non-compulsory additional section called The Second Tier in some of the lessons. It is offered only for those students who plan to study Russian in greater depth.  \nI will expect you to do your best in learning the course. Don’t think that any language can be learned without an effort on your part (unless you are born ‘amidst it’) . Usually, 1 –2 hours a day (besides the class) is enough to succeed in learning the language, and you must find time for comprehension and reading practice and doing exercises.
