Course objectives
This course unit is conceived as a comprehensive introduction into Mongolian. It will make students acquainted with the Mongolian grammar system and provide a basic speaking competence. Although the most attention will be paid to the modern Colloquial Mongolian, accidentally references to the Classical Literary Mongolian will also be made. Taking into regard a possible motivation of the students interested in the classical Mongolian literature, the course prefers the Classical Mongolian script to the Cyrillic.
At the end of the course unit the student will be able to: communicate in Mongolian in the very basic situations;
read the Classical Mongolian script and use it for writing according to the level of his language knowledge;
orientate himself in the Mongolian grammar system;
continue in the study of the Classical Mongolian.
The student will be aware of the basic differences between the Modern Colloquial and the Classical Mongolian.
