Our 10th-grade Russian Immersion students had an excellent opportunity to learn about the fascinating work of Russian linguists researching a unique local dialect in Ninilchik: Alaskan Russian.
The students heard many fascinating facts and stories about this special variety of Russian and learned more about its history, development, and significance as part of Alaska’s cultural heritage.
A huge thank you to Mira Bergelson and Andrej Kibrik for taking the time to meet with our students and share your knowledge and research! We truly appreciate this wonderful opportunity to connect our students with such an interesting part of Alaska’s linguistic history.
Wishing you continued success in your research and professional work!
