The first two weeks of classes are different from the later routine, because it is difficult to separate reading, grammar, and conversation while you are still learning the alphabet and the sound system. There are additional notes in the syllabus after the second week.

Things are changing! During the first ten days of classes, it was difficult to separate reading, grammar, and conversation, because you were still learning the alphabet and the sound system. Now these components of the course will be more or less separate, and you'll have a different teacher for each kind of work:

• grammar, writing, self-test quizzes
• video
• exercises, sound recordings, memorization

All homework is explained in the Course Description (see link at the top of this syllabus).

This day's assignment marks the end of the first semester in the traditional Russian 1121 course. In other words, you have completed half of the 1131-1132 sequence!

The rest of this course is a little different from the first half

• As an option, you may write English summaries of the events in the films instead of writing translations. However, if you think translating a portion of the transcript is more useful for your learning, you may continue doing so. After about 8 weeks, you can stop writing anything for the film assignments; instead, memorize a short scene from one of the clips.
• For each film class, prepare three simple questions on the assigned episodes. You will ask these questions in class for your classmates to answer, and we'll build discussions around those exchanges.
