The main goal of Basic Course - 2 is teaching the pupil to speak Russian fluently and correctly. The pupil's vocabulary will increase by nearly a thousand units as a result of memorizing new words as well as mastering various means of word-building.

Famous prosaic and poetic pieces of fiction for children such as stories by D. Dragounsky, N. Nosov, Panteleyev, K. Paustovsky, L.Uspensky and other writers constitute the reading, which helps the pupil use the vocabulary typical of the middle school age.
