Week 3 review

A short story, ten questions across the whole week, extra practice from earlier weeks, your words and your can-do list. About 60 minutes.

1Story of the week 15 minutes

Meet two new colleagues. Read the text, then answer.

In the exam every text is played once: try the story by ear first.

Но́вые колле́ги (New colleagues)

Э́то Ка́рлос. Он из Ме́ксики. Он инжене́р. Ка́рлос говори́т по-испа́нски и по-англи́йски. Он немно́го говори́т по-ру́сски. Ему́ два́дцать пять лет.

Э́то О́льга. Она́ из Росси́и. Она́ ме́неджер. О́льга говори́т по-ру́сски и по-англи́йски, но не говори́т по-испа́нски.

Ка́рлос и О́льга рабо́тают вме́сте.

Check your understanding

Then listen

Listen to Russian on the same topic. The textbook audio matches it best; the YouTube link opens a search, so pick a short video made for beginners.

4More practice from earlier weeks optional, 10 minutes

Five questions from earlier weeks, in different formats. Remembering after a gap is what makes it stick; your answers also feed the retention figure in Analytics.
