Russian Language Through the Lens of Orthodox Liturgics

Students will be introduced to basic Russian vocabulary, reading, writing, pronunciation, and conversation, with special attention given to words and expressions commonly encountered in Orthodox worship.

Through prayers, hymns, the Divine Liturgy, and Orthodox traditions, students will develop a foundation in the Russian language while also deepening their understanding of the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Russian Christian Orthodox Church.
