The aim of this course is to help students develop intermediate-level communication skills in the target language and enable them to express themselves accurately in a wider range of everyday and academic-like situations. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand and use grammatical structures related to the prepositional and accusative cases, possessive pronouns (including свой), relative clauses with который, basic verb aspects of motion, and reported speech structures.
