Summary
The following table lists the language functions introduced in the course. A function, in the linguistic sense of the word, refers to the use to which we put language in social interaction. This table outlines how to perform certain actions in Russian: these actions are listed in the second column.
The functions are listed in the order in which they are introduced in the course: the number in the first column indicates the unit in which a function is first introduced. In the far right-hand column there is a box. We recommend that you keep a record of what you can do in Russian by ticking the relevant box as and when you feel you are comfortable with a given function.
