Сегодня в лингафонном кабинете... Unit 9, Week 3, Урок 9 Неделя 3. Вид глагола.

ПРИГЛАШАЕМ ВСЕХ!!!


Доброе утро! Сегодня cреда. 

Значит, мы в лингафонном кабинете!
 

LET ME KNOW if you have had trouble enrolling in Second-Year Russian next semester. There's something wrong with the registration process (sigh). Let me know, also, if you have any questions, concerns, conflicts, конфликты, проблемы, заботы...


1. Here is the handout for today. 

2. Review for the grammar quiz here

3. Аудирование... 09-02 in your handout. Listen to the amounts in rubles HERE is the audio and fill in the blanks in the text.

 
If you need help, ask me or one of the tutors! 
***
NOW! Table work! Take a few minutes and re-review the Power Point on verbal aspect. Download it here and watch it before you come to the tables. Будем работать над аспектом глагола... underline all the verbs that are given in their PERFECTIVE form (vs. imperfective) in both dialogues in your worksheets (dialogue 2 and dialogue 3). 


Remember: Imperfective aspect expresses all three tenses. The imperfective past is formed with the Л-rule. The present tense is formed by "just conjugate the darn thing" rule. And the imperfective future is formed by combining a form of быть (буду, будешь...) and the infinitive of the verb (будете заказывать):

Он смотрел. Он смотрит. Он будет смотреть.

Perfective can only express the past and the future. Formation is simple: To form the perfective past, use the Л-rule. And to form the perfective future, "just conjugate the darn thing." 

Он посмотрел фильм. Он посмотрит фильм. 

Now, answer the following 7 questions and record your answer on flipgrid: go to flip.com  and enter join code 9974cb3f log in, and record your answers. I will give you personal feedback on flip.com by Friday.


 
ВСЁ! СПАСИБО!

Привет, ребята! 
 


Знакомьтесь! Доктор Айболит - это самый знаменитый доктор, которого придумал писатель Корней Чуковский. Его пациенты всегда жалуются "Ай! Болит!"  Посмотрите 1 минуту этого стихотворения здесь ↓

А теперь... за работу! 

Итак... Прослушайте разговор... Вы найдете вопросы в хэндауте. Ответьте на них, и тогда прослушайте еще раз и впишите пропущенные слова! = Answer the questions on your handout, then listen again and write out 1-9 and the corresponding missing words...

ELEMENTARY RUSSIAN УРОК 9 Unit 9 Week 2

Доброе утро! Сегодня cреда. Значит мы в лингафонном кабинете!


Cabbage soup and kasha, that's our food!
Щи да каша - пища наша!

The word "kasha" just means porridge... Каша в голове "my head's a muddle!" (literally: There's porridge in my head.) In Russia, каша is classically made from buckwheat groats, whole buckwheat seeds that have been hulled. (In other words, minimally processed.) По-русски это будет гречка! Buckwheat is a nutritional powerhouse and pretty tasty, too! 
Гречка полезна для организма.
Buckwheat's good for you! 
You saw this coming, didn't you?


Spend five minutes on new vocabulary! HERE is the Quizlet course that covers this chapter's vocabulary. 

Now, spend 10 minutes rehearsing the grammar from this chapter. HERE is ANOTHER quizlet course. Spend 10 minutes every day on this list to refine your knowledge.

Then, watch this PowerPoint presentation at least twice. It explains how TENSE and ASPECT work in English and Russian. Yeah, aspect is extremely complicated... rarely. Mostly we humans speak in the present (no aspect!), or make claims about the past (almost always perfective... it's not that you "spent time eating breakfast"... you ATE it, right?)... There are tricky moments, all of them dreamed up by teachers. Mostly it's easy. 

Your хендаут, handout: Here it is! Получите! 

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

Listen to these three short radio adverts; each is about a minute. First, before you even study the handout, listen "extensively" to the adverts, trying to understand broadly what the advertisements are advertising. Listen for words that you know. Then, read carefully the questions on your handout. What do you need to know? Now, listen again, this time "intensively," listening for exact information relevant to the questions on your handout. Jot down the answers that you've understood. Now, listen a third time and answer the remaining questions on your worksheet. The whole thing should take less than 15 minutes.

Реклама 1. Реклама 2. Реклама 3


НА ЭТОМ ВСЁ ВСЁ ВСЁ НА СЕГОДНЯ!
ОТЛИЧНО ПОРАБОТАЛИ! ПОКА!

Сегодня в лингафонном кабинете ELEMENTARY RUSSIAN LAB УРОК 9 Unit 9 Week 1

Здравствуйте! Как вы поживаете? How do you do?!

Мы приглашаем вас на интересную лекцию!

SRAS Excursion: The Moscow Mosque


- Watch the tour (30 min) by clicking the video above. It's VERY interesting! 
- In your lab handout, jot down the summary of Adina's explanation of the significance of the pillars in a mosque. Additionally, write three things that you learned from the video (add time codes). Add this work to your Portfolio 9 (10% of your portfolio grade). 

Lab lab lab

Сегодня, давайте послушаем диалоги и ответим на вопросы!= Download the handout as usual HERE and let's do some lab work:

Read along with these two dialogues (you'll find the text on your language lab worksheet).
Первый диалог
Второй диалог

For each dialogue, on your lab worksheet, напишите ответы на следующие вопросы на русском! (Answer the questions in Russian!)... 

Кроме того, in the dialogues, you need to find the Russian phrases that correspond to the English phrases... Как по-русски будет...

HERE is the  Quizlet course for the new phrases!

За столами! 

Just a bit of grammar: The formation and basic use of the INSTRUMENTAL CASE, the case of accompanying and use. 

It's pretty limited in scope: Mostly you'll encounter it as the case that governs the object of the preposition с (with), as you'll see below:

Я пью кофе с молокОМ и сахарОМ! 
I drink my coffee with milk and sugar! 

Скажите, с чЕМ вы любите бутерброды? 
How do you like your sandwiches?

Я любю бутерброды с сырОМ и с колбасОЙ! Ням!
I love sandwiches with cheese and sausage. 


The noun ending for masculines/neuters is -ом (сыр > сырОМ) and for feminines is -ой (колбаса > колбасОЙ). 
Именительный падеж (Nominative)Творительный падеж (Instrumental)
Кот (= ФェФ=)с котом (with the cat)
Девушка (Girl)с девушкой (with the girl)
Стол (Table)с столом (with the table)
Книга (Book)с книгой (with the book)
Машина (Car)с машиной (with the car)
Дом (House)с домом (with the house)
Ручка (Pen)с ручкой (with the pen)
Ребенок (Child)с ребенком (with the child)
Окно (Window)с окном (with the window)
Рыба <"(((<3с рыбой (with the fish)

The interrogatives кто and что become, logically enough, с кем (with whom) and с чем (with what). Note the unsurprising/surprising o/e alteration...
For example:
  • С кем ты пойдешь? (S kem ty pojdesh?) - "Who will you go with?"
  • С чем ты играешь? (S chem ty igraesh?) - "What are you playing with?"

ELEMENTARY RUSSIAN УРОК 8 Unit 8 Week 3 Неделя 3 Elementary Russian Lab


Привет! 




За работу, товарищи! 

First, look through the material for the grammar quiz here. The quiz will cover the formation of the dative (noun + modifier) and the expression of "nonexistence" in the past. 

Молодцы! 

Now, download this worksheet. On the back of it, there's some familiar information about soft consonants. Remember how the system works: There are two vowel graphemes for each vowel sound. Half the Russian vowel graphemes indicate softness in the preceding consonants (я е ё ю и), and half indicate hardness (а э о у ы). (Don't forget the мягкий знак, the soft sign.) Most of the consonants that precede the "soft-inducing" vowels (and ь) are palatalized, pronounced by engaging the palate, the roof of your mouth behind your dental ridge.

Hardness is the "default" -- lacking other indication, assume that the consonant is pronounced hard.

So, the word газета has a soft з (because of the following е) and a hard т (because of the following a... or more exactly, because the vowel following the т does NOT induce softness). 


See! Ingenious! Twice the number of vowels (there are only five vowel SOUNDS but ten vowel GRAPHEMES), but that means you only need half the number of consonants. (So many consonants! 20? It's a great tradeoff.) 


NB: Some consonants like the velars (к, г, х) and the hushers (ш, ж...) don't have "pairmates," they are pronounced hard or soft, regardless of the following vowels (or soft sign... дочь). In fact, a good case could be made that ш and щ are hard/soft variants...  Don't worry overly, though... You just "say it like it's written" and don't worry. Всё будет хорошо... 

We've been working on this phonological (or is it phonetic? Probably both...) effect all semester. The exercises tell you to listen to the recording and mark the soft consonants; of course, y'all are smart, and you don't need the recording--find the "soft vowels" and you'll know the consonants that precede them are palatalized! 


So, look through the dialogues, mark the soft consonants with an apostrophe. Then, listen to exercise 08-06 and 08-03, and check your work. (8-03 at 1m55s and 8-06 5m15s... sorry, the recording isn't broken up properly; just move the button to the right second in the recording.) 


Pay attention to the recording, listening carefully for the soft consonants. 


Then, пожалуйста, сделайте все упражнения из вашего хэндаута!  let's work a bit more on the dative case... finish all the handout assignments and add it to your portfolio.


Now, view this video sketch. Type or write answers to the following questions on your lab handout.
1) For whom is the man shopping?
2) What does the saleslady suggest that he should buy?
3)How much does it cost?
