Learning objectives at level A1 of the European Reference Framework, with some aspects of oral communication also at level A2. Concept: After a systematic introduction to the Cyrillic alphabet, all skills - speaking, listening, reading, and writing - are consistently addressed, with a focus on oral communication. The 9 lessons follow the same structure: Dialogues related to everyday Russian life introduce vocabulary and structures, which are then deepened in the subsequent texts, illustrated with numerous examples, and reinforced through exercises. The consistent use of action-oriented role plays and continuous listening comprehension training particularly prepares learners for everyday language use in Russia. At the end of each lesson, there is a Russian-German vocabulary list that includes application examples of what has been learned.
