The Slavonic Studies Section of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages is offering weekly language classes in Polish and Ukrainian. Each course consists of 20 weekly language classes and will be scheduled as follows:
Polish Language Courses
These classes are open to all members of the University community by the Slavonic Studies Section, who are very active in promoting Polish Studies within Cambridge. Teaching will begin on Monday, 13th October. The classes will be scheduled as follows throughout the year:
• Elementary level: Monday, 12pm
• Elementary level: Monday, 1pm
• Elementary level: Tuesday 2pm
• Lower intermediate level: Tuesday 3pm
• Intermediate level (A2 - CEFR): Monday, 2pm
Ukrainian Language Courses
Classes will be held in Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced Ukrainian. These classes are open to all members of the University community by the Cambridge Ukrainian Studies programme, an initiative of the Slavonic Studies Section. Teaching will begin on Thursday 9th October. The classes will be scheduled as follows throughout the year:
• Elementary level (A): Thursday, 3pm
• Elementary level (B): Thursday, 4pm
• Intermediate level: Friday, 3pm
• Advanced level: Friday, 4pm
Please note that there will be two groups within the Ukrainian Elementary level course; Group A has been designed for students with no prior knowledge of Ukrainian or any other Slavonic language. Group B, for those with an existing knowledge and experience of other Slavonic languages.
For both languages, course materials will be provided although students will find it beneficial to have their own Polish-English/Ukrainian-English dictionary. Learners should expect to consolidate material covered in classes through homework and private study. The end of year assessment for each level will consist of an oral/aural test and a written examination.
NB: Russian courses are offered by the Language Centre, not MMLL Faculty. Please use this link for further information
As part of the open courses, we will also host a termly coffee break where it will be possible to practice Polish and Ukrainian informally with other students.
