Что будет летом

What Will Happen in the Summer

A2 · Elementary · fiction · 10 scenes · Premium story

Sonya has three free months coming, four thousand roubles, one exam left and two offers she cannot both take: her friend's family trip to the sea, or two months' paid work at a children's camp. Then the trip falls through, the camp turns out to start before her last exam, and her brother rings from Kazan with a tent. Built to teach the future tense in the forms a learner actually needs — буду работать, поеду, найду, останусь, and the если/когда clause English speakers get wrong first.
