Вы всё по́няли? 1.8 Оде́жда

Note that the word for clothing in Russian is singular (i.e., “clothing,” not “clothes”).  Russian clothing words include some borrowings from English and other European languages, but a number of words are not cognates, so you will need to work actively on learning this new vocabulary.

Use good vocabulary learning strategies!

When learning a large number of nouns on a particular topic (clothing, foods, things in a student's backpack), try some or all of the following strategies--you will want to use more than one so that you work on listening and reading as well as pronouncing and writing:

  • listen to the word, saying it as you look at the word and the picture of the word
  • listen to the words just looking at the pictures and try to write the word down
  • write the words on cards, then sort them into various meaningful categories: winter / summer clothing, for example, or things you have in your backpack
  • sticky notes: label your own objects with the words, so you associate the object with the word.

In the Quizlet activities below you will need to match words to the corresponding pictures.
