Russian 101
Fall 2003
Welcome to introductory Russian language! No previous knowledge of Russian or any Slavic language is required; you need only the curiosity and desire to try a new and difficult thing and the will to do it.
I will be communicating with you on this site, which will present my syllabus and all my handouts in pdf form.
Please send me your email address and any other information you think I might need.
Regards,
