What material is covered by a Denver Russian class?

The Russian, or Cyrillic, alphabet is one of the things you'll learn in your class. This alphabet differs from English, as it has 32 (or 33 counting the soft symbol) letters. You'll find that every letter has its own unique sound and that there are no combinations that make a specific sound, such as "sh" or "ch" in English. Once you have mastered the alphabet and the sounds of the letters, you may find that you can read Russian a lot easier. This is due to the fact that Russian words are easy to sound out, as they usually sound like they are spelled. This doesn't just help your reading, though, but your pronunciation as well.

A case system is used for Russian grammar. This means that the nouns in the language are going to change their forms and end differently based on their case. This case will show the role of the noun within a sentence. Sometimes this can prove difficult for a native English speaker to understand because, in English, grammar and sentence structure is more dependent on the word order of a sentence.

You will learn even more about nouns and how they have three genders. A noun can be either neuter, masculine, or feminine. Fortunately, you can usually tell by the ending letter of a word what gender the noun will be. As you learn more Russian vocabulary, it will become important to memorize each noun's gender.
