SMART Notebook software uses a technology called TLS 1.0 and 1.1 to protect your data when it's sent over the internet. However, these older technologies now have some weaknesses that make it susceptible to attacks by malicious agents. To ensure your data continues to be safe while using SMART software, SMART Notebook is phasing out the use of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and implementing new protections.
To avoid potential disruptions and stay aligned with best security practices, SMART recommends updating to SMART Notebook 23 by December 31, 2023. If you don't update by this date, you will see an error message saying, "Trial period has expired" even if you have an active SMART Notebook Plus (SMART Learning Suite) subscription.

Key rules introduced in Ders 8:
Example from the lesson:
У меня нет времени. (I don’t have time – literally, "By me there is no time.")
Turkish learners struggle because the Turkish equivalent would use "benim zamanım yok" – no case endings. The sudden appearance of genitive endings like -а/-я, -ы/-и makes Ders 8 "hot" in the sense of mentally demanding.
Make a table like this (masculine example): rus enstitusu ders 8 hot
| Ending in consonant | Add -а | стол → стола | | Ending in -й | Change to -я | музей → музея | | Ending in -ь | Change to -я | учитель → учителя |
For feminine nouns ending in -а → replace with -ы (мама → мамы), but after г, к, х, ж, ч, ш, щ use -и (книга → книги).
Russians are passionate about theatre (especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg). You cannot complete Rus Enstitusu ders 8 without knowing these phrases.

"Rus Enstitüsü Ders 8" is a solid, necessary step in the A1-Beginner journey. It effectively bridges the gap between naming things and describing the world around you.

Let’s put it all together. Imagine two friends, Anna and Dmitry, discussing their lifestyle.
Анна: Привет! Как твои выходные? (Hi! How is your weekend planned?) Дмитрий: Привет! В субботу утром я бегаю в парке. Здоровый образ жизни, знаешь? (On Saturday morning, I run in the park. Healthy lifestyle, you know?) Анна: Круто! А вечером? (Cool! And in the evening?) Дмитрий: Вечером мы идём на концерт. А ты? (In the evening, we are going to a concert. And you?) Анна: Я еду на дачу. Будем готовить шашлык и ходить в баню. (I am going to the dacha. We will make shashlik and go to the banya.) Дмитрий: Это настоящий русский отдых! (That is true Russian relaxation!)
Key takeaway: Notice how Dmitry uses the Accusative case: бегаю в парке (Prepositional for location), идём на концерт (Accusative for the event).
