The manual is designed for foreign students learning Russian at an advanced stage (B2-C1 of the Common European Framework) as well as for teachers of Russian as a foreign language.

The purpose of the book is to teach foreign students to communicate in various situations, to enrich their vocabulary with the stylistically coloured expressions of etiquette, to master their speaking and listening skills and habits of spontaneous Russian speech. Special attention is paid to teaching the ability to differentiate between the general cliches and phraseological units used in the official and informal situations or speech units used by different social and professional groups of native speakers (youth, elderly people, representatives of scientific or higher education environment, etc.).

The material is organised by topics (greetings, getting acquainted, congratulations, etc.). Each topic is provided with various creative assignments aimed at the development of the spontaneous dialogues and monologues.
