Entry level

This course is the second part of B2-level Russian. In order to take part in this course, it is important that you possess the knowledge and skills from the previous language levels. This means that you should easily be able to have a Russian conversation and that you have an extensive passive knowledge (reading and listening skills). For example, you should be able to formulate an opinion properly and structure a written or oral story. You should know how to use participles and gerunds.

write clear and detailed texts on a wide range of topics.

The course focuses primarily on verbal communication, as well as reading, listening and writing skills. You will also learn more about Russian culture.
