Learn Russian With Me

If you don’t have Russian friends to practice your skills in Russian language and you don’t have much time to study with the teacher you can use the following ways:
1. Read books together with audio books.
Beginners can start from this amazing book  “Рассказ-сенсация” for Elementary & Pre-Intermediate levels. It contains approximately 800 words that are required for everyday communication. Every word appears in the text several times so that the learner can become accustomed to its meaning in the context. The author tried to include words from such topics as clothes, food, politics, office, sports and gym, transport and business. He also tried to use some common Russian set expressions and proverbs and quotes from famous songs. There are many dialogues in the story. There are lists of new words in every chapter. No translation is provided so that the learner can make a note of the meanings in their own language. At the end of the book, one can find a concise Russian-English dictionary. The story is written in slightly simplified Russian. Thus, the learner will find it easier to recognise and memorise grammar structures. At the end of each chapter there are questions and/or grammar exercises. Here you can buy audio book.

If you have children you can read and listen Russian traditional fairy-tales.
