Сегодня в кабинете... Elementary Russian, Unit 10 Week 1 April 17, 2019

Привет! Салют! Welcome back to the Language Lab. 

Не парься! Будь спок, не волнуйся! Chill!



(The word спокойно means calm.. Будь спок! Be calm... you know, like Спок!)


Anyway, read along while listening to dialogues three and five. The word 
Назад means "ago"... The first question in dialogue three is kinda stupid... Whose on the picture? I'm on the picture. 

Answer the questions on your lab worksheet and have me or the tutor check them. 

***

The question На когО вы похОжи (ты похОж/ты похОжа)? means Who do you look like? Literally, "Whom do you go after?" (Похож comes from the verb ходить, to go.) 

It uses the accusative case Она похожа на меня, на маму, на Ивана... 


For your "little composition" (an assignment for your final portfolio) you'll answer in complete sentences the following questions... Remember, truth telling isn't that important... If you write the answers out now, the tutors can check them.  

Come to the tables for some further work! 
Присоединяйтесь к нам за стол!

Сегодня в лингафонном кабинете ELEMENTARY RUSSIAN УРОК 9 Unit 9 Week 3 Неделя 3 Elementary Russian Lab (4-10-2019)

Доброе утро! Сегодня  десятое апреля. Среда. Значит, мы в лингафонном кабинете!




Above: The way Soviet grocery stores NEVER EVER looked. 

tl;dr: Prep for your quiz. Take your quiz. SIGN UP FOR THE ORAL PERFORMANCE TOMORROW. Grab a хендаут. Listen to some statements about how much stuff costs in restaurants. At the tables, work with a partner. Get smart. Ты поумнеешь! 

The whole experience should take 60 minutes or so. 


Spend five minutes prepping for your quiz...тест по грамматике!! HERE is the  Quizlet course.

TAKE YOUR QUIZ! Напишите тест... спасибо! Молодец!


--> SIGN UP for the Oral Performance on Thursday. <-- 


Now, for listening... Давайте послушаем! Let's have a listen. (HEY! It's the perfective case expressing future!) 

Listen to this series of statements about how much stuff costs, filling in the blanks with numbers (don't worry about writing out the words). The recording isn't divided (sigh... 5th Edition!Maybe they shoulda fixed this five years ago...) so you'll need to start the recording at 3m47s... That's where ex. 09-02 begins. Here's the listening exercise; you'll find the questions in your lab handout. 

When you're finished, когда закончите... К столам! К столам! Get to the tables! You'll find more work on the other side of the handout.
