The aim is for participants to try to "walk in their partners´ shoes," to think and speak their partners´ language directly and indirectly. Since it is important to master the "real" language in real situations it is cosidered necessary to develop and train speech.

Course organization:
The course is conducted during two periods (30 hours). The language part of the course foresees communication entirely in Russian. The course requires some homework in addition to that indicated on the timetable.
