Welcome Back Russian Stage Two

A comprehensive two-semester second-year program that follows Russian Stage One: Live from Russia! This engaging textbook and workbook (along with DVD and audio CD) reflect the social, cultural, and linguistic norms of contemporary Russia and its richly diverse regions. In Russian Stage Two, students will improve functional competence in Speaking, listening, reading, and writing by building onto the basic grammar covered in Russian Stage One and by doubling their active vocabulary.

The course materials for this textbook are based on the same soap-opera styled video series the students followed in Russian Stage One. In this second-year course, the video takes students back to Russia to see how our Russian friends are doing. The DVD also includes additional footage for use both in classroom and for homework assignments.
