SECOND YEAR RUSSIAN Unit 1 LAB 2




ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ! 

ДАВАЙТЕ ПОРАБОТАЕМ!

Now, Возьмите хендаут ЗДЕСЬ! = Get today's  handout  HERE or grab a printed copy from us!


OK... Давайте послушаем! Two SHORT listening exercises о погоде в Москве и о погоде в Петербурге. Listen to these forecasts (just half of the recording) и ответьте на пару вопросов... Answer a couple of questions on the worksheet... (That's 1-50 and 1-51 on the handout.)

Now, let's work a bit. First, I'd like you to choose any dialogue and read it aloud... then translate... then read it again. Mark the one of your choice, we'll work on them more on Tuesday.

Then there are a couple brief grammar exercises. 
1) The first involves the first-person imperative (Let's!) The point here is that the "shortcut" to such commands is to use the PERFECTIVE form of the first-plural (мы)... Поработаем! Let's work a bit. Поговорим! Let's have a talk. See, no need for the Давайте (Let's) imperative... But you COULD say Давайате поговорим! Давайте поработаем! It's just that you don't HAVE to say "let's" in these commands. Просто как репа! Simple like turnip!

2) The second exercise trains your use of the preposition к + датильный падеж (dative). The combo means "go to someone's house": Куда ты ходил? Я ходил к Давиду. Wheredya go? I went to David's house.

*Try and translate this meme... do you see the use of Dative?



СПАСИБО ЗА ХОРОШУЮ РАБОТУ!!!!
