Russian A1 · Unit 11
GoalUse tens, days, time, months and the four seasons together.
New words
зима́ (zimá) · winterвесна́ (vesná) · springле́то (léto) · summerо́сень (ósenʹ) · autumn
Explanation

Now use all of Unit 11 together. There are four seasons, and each has three months. You know the words for age, day, time and date, so you can plan a day in Russian. Ask Когда́ э́то? and answer with a day and a time: В суббо́ту в де́сять часо́в. Ask Кото́рый час? and Како́й сего́дня день? Learn the seasons as words now; “in winter, in summer” have their own forms, which you will meet later.
