The Importance of Using Proverbs in Business Russian Lessons

Abstract

In our article, we try to describe the importance of proverbs and sayings as a working material for teaching business
Russian. After all, "A proverb is a short folk saying with edifying content, a folk aphorism" (Ozhegov, Shvedova, 1999, p.
568). Being a micro text, proverbs can be used as material for working in a foreign audience: they can be used to develop
various skills and abilities, as well as a means of comprehending the specifics of Russian culture, removing the language
barrier and improving intercultural communication. We believe that in our textbook "Business Russian", in the chapter on
finance called "Money, money, money", the use of proverbs is very relevant. Working with proverbs and sayings can help
the teacher of the Russian language to reveal the concept of tolerance, that is, to show the correct behavior outside the
framework of their culture.
