Продвинутые курсы русского языка в августе.

Приглашаем на курсы для уровней B1+ / B2 в Петрозаводске!

Для кого: для студентов старших курсов и выпускников университетов, будущих переводчиков, преподавателей и гидов, для всех, кто влюблен в Россию и в русский язык.

Преимущества программы:

• Реальный результат. Курс направлен на развитие, прежде всего, коммуникативных навыков. Это не лекции в аудитории за учебником. Вы научитесь общаться с русскими на русском, избавитесь от языкового барьера, сможете быстро и уверенно отвечать на вопросы.
• Постоянная практика русского языка. В Петрозаводске Вы будете использовать русский язык везде: на улице, в кафе, в магазине.

Вы будете жить в русской принимающей семье и постоянно общаться на русском на бытовые, ежедневные темы.
• Увлекательная программа. Помимо уроков русского языка, школа “Enjoy Russian” организует разнообразные культурные мероприятия на выбор: Вы совершите незабываемую поездку по Онежскому озеру на легендарный остров Кижи с памятниками деревянного зодчества, посетите природный заповедник Кивач и самый высокий равнинный водопад Европы, научитесь танцевать Карельские танцы и печь Карельские пирожки-калитки на наших традиционных мастер-классах, попаритесь в русской бане, и много другое!

Students from Italy come to learn Russian in Petrozavodsk all the year round

From now on the University of Bologna (Forlì Campus) is the place each Russian volunteer knows about. The reason for that is because recently the teachers of Enjoy Russian language school had been teaching Russian to 8 great students from this University. Notwithstanding their language proficiency, each student made a huge step in learning Russian. Read what guys think about Russian hosts, study process and the city itself!

RUSSIAN GRAMMAR IN AN EASY WAY

Enjoy Russian school knows how to learn Russian fast! The crack of a matter is in choosing the right strategy to remember some difficult topics. Check out the examples concerning Russian conjunctions ТАК and ТОГДА and try to practice right away!

Russian ТАК

1. Это правда:
– Двор сеял у самой реки, и по веснам, когда спадала полая вода, он был усеян щепой и ракушками, а иногда и другими, куда более интересными вещами. Так, однажды мы нашли туго набитую письмами сумку, а потом вода принесла и осторожно положила на берег я самого почтальона.– Вы видели его вчера в 17:00, так? – Да. Это так.

2. Именно таким образом, не как-нибудь иначе. В таком виде, состоянии, как есть:
– Вы видели его вчера в 17:00, так? – Да. Это так.

3. Очень, настолько:
– Это было так интересно, что старухи, ходившие к Сковородникову играть в “козла”, бросали карты и присоединялись к нам.
– Страшно было только по вечерам: так тихо, что слышен, кажется, даже мягкий стук падающего снега, и в такой тишине вдруг начинал выть в трубе ветер.

 Russian БЛИН: say or not to say?

Have you heard that Russian word BLIN has many meanings? It is actually one of the most common words in Russia because you can hear it absolutely everywhere. The first meaning of this word is PANCAKE. Does it mean that Russians eat pancakes all the time? 

Not really. Another meaning for this word is a negative БЛИН. It is a synonym to English DAMN!

For example, we can say:

• Вчера у бабушки были очень вкусные блины – Yesterday my grandma’s pancakes were superb!
  OR:

• Блин, я потерял мамину любимую книгу – Damn, I’ve lost mom’s favorite book.

• Я опоздал на поезд! Блин! – I missed the train. Damn it!

As you see, in Russian these two words are similar, but as they have different meanings we translate them into English in different ways.

However over the course of time the meaning of the word slightly changed, it became more neutral than positive. DLitt Natalia Bogdanova explains: “Nowadays we can hear the word BLIN mostly at home, in shops and cafes but not in offices and educational institutions. If initially it had only a negative meaning, now the native speakers do not put up any emotions into it.”According to the statistics, this word is number one by a frequency of use in everyday conversations. Well, if we do not take into account swearing words:)

Want to sound more natural in Russian?

Then keep these 10 polite phrases somewhere close!

1. Спасибо (SPASIBA) – Thank you
2. Пожалуйста (POZHALUSTA) – Welcome / Please
3. Извините (IZVINITIE) / простите (PROSTITIE) – Excuse me / I’m sorry
4. Ничего (NICHEVO) – That’s OK (That’s NOTHING)
5. Будьте добры (BUD’TIE DOBRY) – Would you be so kind
6. Извините, можно (мне)…? (IZVINITIE, MOZHNA MNIE) – Excuse me, can (I) have…
7. Извините, вы мне не поможете? (IZVINITIE, VY MNIE NIE POMOZHETIE) – Excuse me, could you help me?
8. Не могли бы вы мне помочь / показать… / дать… / принести… (NIE MOGLI BY VY MNIE POMOCH / POKAZAT’ / DAT’ / PRINIESTI) – Could you help me / show me… / give me… / bring me…
9. Дайте, пожалуйста, … (DAITIE POZHALUSTA) – Give me, please
10. Покажите, пожалуйста, … (POKAZHITIE POZHALUSTA) – Show me, please

MISS RUSSIA OR VLADIMIR PUTIN?

Have you ever thought about Russians you would like to meet? Usually, the people coming to learn Russian in Petrozavodsk say Russians are very hospitable and open. Even if sometimes they seem to be gloomy they always smile inside. Maybe that is why we got so many essays from Scholarship contest candidates? Believe us or not, many participants wrote in the essays about famous politicians, journalists, Russian singers. But here us the extract of Nicolay’s essay who is willing to meet Miss Russia and Vladimir Putin.

Nicolay from Malta: I’d like to meet the President and beautiful Russian women

Мне очень нравится Россия, особенно город Санкт-Петербург. Недавно я изучал русский язык, и я прожил два года в Санкт-Петербурге.
Я знаю, что Россия – мать великих людей. В России жили и живут великие люди. Отличный великий человек с которым я хочу встретиться это Владимир Путин: он великий лидер и патриот. Россия – самая большая страна в мире, поэтому ей нужен сильный лидер. На работе я лидер команды, поэтому у меня есть чему поучиться у господин Путин!
Также В России живут самые красивые женщины мира, так почему бы и нет, Я был бы очень рад встретиться Мисс Россия!
