Russian via Movies

During the classes, we will watch movies, do some tasks based on the watched movie, analyze and discuss our impressions as well as do some writing exercises. We will have online sessions each week with watching movies and working on Russian based on them. All necessary materials will be provided by the teacher.

At the end of the course, the participants will be able to use different oral and written expressions and grammar constructions that they can use in their everyday communication. Students improve their Russian skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The students are also familiar with the well-known Russian movies and cartoons, film directors, and actors as a part of the country study. Students are able to describe and analyze the plot of the movie, characters and express their attitudes and discuss their thoughts with others.
