Currently I'm preparing for a Russian language test before (TORFL - "Test of Russian as a Foreign Language", modeled after the famous TOEFL test for English) and can so wonderful on the basis of my own efforts with the Russian language, understand what my students go through when they learn German. In April, a commission to come, traveled from Moscow to remove the test for all who have signed up - except me, here are a number of students mainly from Asian countries. I go regularly for consultations at the Department of Russian as a foreign language and am quite optimistic that I will do the test at the targeted level (B2 of the Common European Framework).

Our theme is currently" Holidays in Germany and Russia ". It is interesting that most public holidays in Germany have a Christian origin. In Russia, however, Easter, Ascension, is Pentecost so of course religious festivals (postponed for 14 days), but there are still have work days. The official holidays mostly a political background: the day Defender of the Fatherland (23.2.), the day of victory (9.5.), Independence (12.6.) or the Day of the unity of the people (4.11.). The Neujahresferien officially take up to 5 and in practice, usually by 10 January, included is the Orthodox Christmas is on 7.1.
glad I am on the recognition of Lyudmila, one of our elderly ladies at the department, who teaches in the best Soviet tradition of strict and thorough. They spontaneously on lectures in my classes and praised me for my good preparation after the hour.
