Russian as a Foreign Language (A2). Read, Listen and Speak! (edX)

In the course, you will find video lectures where the authors explain the A2 grammar logically and clearly. We supported the grammar course by various tasks. These tasks will help you to memorize grammar rules, and help you to improve your listening, reading and speaking skills. The tasks include dialogues that Russians say in different situations. You can listen, repeat them and after that create your own based on our dialogues. We put in our course some interesting texts that later you can discuss with your groupmates. We also suggest you to learn how to speak on various topics. For example, about yourself and your family, how you spend your free time, about your friend, about the city where you live, about a famous person you like.
