The textbook gives you a lot of examples on how questions and answers in Russian dialogue should be formed. It is easy to see the difference between Russian and English by using the parallel translation. Common questions and answers used in everyday situations are explained simply enough even for beginners. Some sayings and jokes make it engaging despite six cases that make Russian a little difficult for some students. Categorized vocabulary list of the 1300 important Russian words, aids in word choice and usage. The audio tracks are available inclusive on www.lppbooks.com/Book/Russian-1

A good idea is to use the free VLC media player to control the playing speed. You can control the playing speed by decreasing or increasing the speed value on the button of the VLC media player's interface. Read and hear at the same time!

It can usually take you from one to three months to finish a bilingual graded reader at beginner level (A1) and elementary level (A2). The amount of time depends on your previous experience with learning foreign languages and on your personal abilities. At this point you should be able to ask and answer simple questions with the following questioning words: What? Who? Where? When? Which? How many/much? As you improve and become more confident in your ability to use the new language, you can move on to the next reader level and continue your language-learning journey.

After using a bilingual graded book for a week or two you are ready to study grammar rules. Grammar rules will satisfy your curiosity awakened by the bilingual graded book. Learn grammar rules to find out how you can use your target language more precisely. Follow this order - first read a reading book, then grammar rules and exercises to make your learning experience more efficient.

Using bilingual graded books is by far more pragmatic, efficient way to learn a new language than a "learn a language in two weeks" program. However you should frequently use the target language by using bilingual graded books with audio tracks, grammar books, chats, internet pages and even songs to maintain your motivation and progress. Remember - twenty minutes a day does the magic!

Industry Reviews

The best way to learn any language is to emerge yourself and read. This book does just that. It gives you all the words you will encounter in the paragraphs to come and then, you read. I also like that there is a link to go to a website where the paragraphs are also read so you can hear what each word sounds like. I've taken Russian for over a year via a phone app, which just teaches words. But learning sentences and how each word relates to the other is how you learn. Great book.

This has been a wonderful book for learning Russian. It is probably too advanced for a new beginner. I'd place myself in advanced beginner/intermediate level for reading in Russian. It is interesting and practical with a paragraph or two on a subject regarding ordinary life (commuting to work, what the apartment looks like, daily routine, etc), translated into English, followed by questions and answers regarding the paragraph. There are jokes, proverbs and short lessons on grammar.
