Сегодня в лингафонном кабинете! Unit 2 Week 4 Elementary Russian

Elementary Russian... LAB, Week 4, Unit 2. Understanding Numbers. 

Добрый день! Мы рады вас видеть! Good day! Nice to see you. 

Because of scheduling and Fall Break, we have a BONUS language lab today! 

1) Take your QUIZ on NUMBERS!!!! If you need to prepare, check out the Memrise quiz!

2) Do the listening comprehension on the lab handout... It's listening to numbers. 

Б.  Teens and -ties.  Write down the numbers as you hear them.

В. Twos and Nines. Write down the numbers as you hear them. 

Г. Номера телефона. Write down the telephone numbers next to the people's names. Notice the fill имя фамилия first name and family name... Russians actually NEVER do refer to people in an official capacity like this... Usually its ФИО (фамилия, имя, отчество)... Oh, well, another error in the book! Notice the person's nickname (прозвище). Надя! Эдик!

3) You'll find a handout with all the dialogues with the tutors. Now, at the tables, in preparation for your ORAL PERFORMANCE TOMORROW, read aloud, with your partner or with any tutor, a couple of the dialogues.

Today is a GREAT chance to have a tutor go over your домашка homework and проверить её check it. 

MAKE SURE that you've included EVERY item... Grammar explanations, translations, etc. There is a LOT of homework, all of which needs to be COMPLETE, CHECKED, and CORRECTED by the time you turn in your portfolio. 

Sign up for the ORAL PERFORMANCE!!!!  You've signed up, right (Stetson) (ERAU)?

Sign up for your Oral Exam next Thursday!

Sign up here for your Oral Exam... Slots are first-come-first-served, and you'll take your exam with either Dr. Zheltoukhova or Dr. Denner. The SPREES center tutors will be there on Thursday to help you with last minute details... They're a great resource! 

Please DO NOT come up before you exam slot.... This is courtesy to your fellow students. 

A few years ago, we began to host music from the Russian, East European, and Eurasian area, that wonderful and surprising area we at SPREES call ours. I'm reviving that tradition (and hoping that the other faculty joins me!)... This week, I'm showcasing one of my favorite Georgian bands, 33a (that's its name... 33ა... It doesn't mean anything to me, either...). 

Anyway, Georgian music is WILD... totally NOT Western, not Eastern... It's... GEORGIAN. If I have one complaint about Georgian music, it's that it relies a lot on a very small cannon of songs. It tends to be.. a little self-absorbed.

Georgian music exerts a huge influence over the entire region... Nino Katamadze, a Georgian from Adchara who sings largely in Russia, is one of the most popular "Russian" singers in the Russian Federation. 

Anyway, I like this 33a song,  აი მთაზედა Ai Mtazeda (something like, "Look, Mountains!" You say that a LOT in Georgia!)... The video is sort of Georgian beauty p0rn... Mountains. Beautiful people and places. 

Hey, you should go to Georgia with me this summer!
