Russian Low Intermediate 2

This comprehensive 8-week Russian language course provides intensive, focused practice and instruction in several essential grammatical cases, including the accusative, genitive, and dative cases. Students will engage in structured exercises and communicative activities designed to strengthen their command of these grammatical forms through reading, writing, and conversation. In addition to focused case work, the course also includes a thorough review of the instrumental case and imperfective past tense verb forms, reinforcing these foundational elements that are critical for intermediate-level communication. Students will further expand their abilities by learning how adjectives and possessive pronouns function and change across all of the major Russian grammatical cases, building a deeper and more versatile understanding of the language as a whole.

What you need to know before enrolling: Students must demonstrate the ability to construct grammatically correct and well-structured sentences in the Russian present tense, showing confident command of the accusative, genitive, and dative cases when used with both nouns and pronouns. Familiarity with reflexive verb usage and proper conjugation patterns is also required. This course builds directly on prior coursework, so students should feel comfortable reading and writing in Cyrillic and forming multi-clause sentences before beginning this level of study.
