Outline and Purpose of the Course	We will study the Russian language from scratch. This course is for students interested in Russian language and literature. Starting with the letter-writing style and pronunciation that are rather unfamiliar in Japan, we will then continue on to learn the language's basic grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, which are surprisingly analogous to those found in Japanese.
Course Goals	1) Learn the Cyrillic alphabet used in Russian, as well as its pronunciation. 2) Learn the basic grammar of Russian.
