From the Publisher
Both volumes of this beginning-level Russian-language program address the four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), as well as culture. Each unit, based on a common theme, contains a set of goals for each of the skills, supported by dialogues, texts, exercises, and other material necessary for the achievement of these goals. Both volumes present a balance of functional competence on the one hand, and accuracy on the other. Although students will not be expected to attain complete control of all the grammatical categories during the course, the materials present a systematic framework of Russian grammar.
