физика · химия · биология · наука

Physics, chemistry, biology, science. Three of these four you could have guessed.

🎒 What you need

the shared phone, about 20 minutes
a notebook or cardboard

✋ Do this

Listen to the five words and repeat each five times, watching your stress placement from module 4.
Notice that физика, химия and биология are all borrowed international words, so you get them nearly free. наука — science — and врач — doctor — are genuinely Russian and must be learned properly.
врач is the hard one. There is no international cousin to help you. Write it fifteen times by hand and say it every time.
Record yourself saying я хочу быть врачом — ya khochu byt' vrachom — 'I want to be a doctor' — and check it against the model.
Write that sentence out in Cyrillic on cardboard, substituting инженером (engineer) if that is closer to the truth for you.
Put the cardboard where you study. Read it aloud once a day.

💡 Why it works

Separating the free borrowed words from the ones that must be memorised lets you spend your effort where it is actually needed. And attaching the vocabulary to a real ambition — the thing you want to be — makes it something you rehearse rather than revise.

🔥 Challenge

Find out what a Russian medical or engineering degree requires in language level. Then say your sentence out loud to one adult.
