Publisher's summary

If you're looking to learn Russian fast without having to go through boring textbooks, then pay attention...

Are you sick and tired of not being able to learn Russian fast? Have you tried endless other ways of learning Russian but nothing seems to stick? Do you finally want to say goodbye to your tendency to "forget most of what you've studied" and discover something which works for you? If so, you've come to the right place. You see, Russian could be easier than you think.

This audiobook is an entrance into the world of the Russian language and in it, you will:

  • Learn how to pronounce the Russian language sounds and how they differ from the English language
  • Get an idea of the Russian alphabet and reading rules
  • Acquire a useful vocabulary base to introduce yourself to a Russian speaker
  • Learn to have efficient and simple conversations and ask basic questions
  • And much, much more!

In essence, this audiobook will help you communicate and give you an overview of the language. The primary focus of this audiobook is on phrases and constructions, which you can use in everyday communications. Moreover, along with vocabulary, basic grammar concepts are included.

Although Russian grammar is considered - and justifiably so - to be quite complicated and some difficulties lurk even at the beginning level, this audiobook will address it in small portions and illustrate the rules with vocabulary items so that you can easily get the picture.

Each chapter contains small and simple dialogues that will help you practice new words and grammatical constructions and, at the same time, gain some phrases to try in conversations with Russian speakers. Some vocabulary, dialogues, as well as grammar points will be repeated throughout the audiobook, so you will naturally have no choice but to learn it.

Excellent way to learn the Russian.

It is a handy audiobook and indeed helped me with reading Russian letters and sounding them out correctly. I listen tothe book through; there isn't much to it, but the way the audiobook is put together and the way the contents are grouped makes it much easier. I would recommend it to learners of Russian who are unfamiliar with the Cyrillic alphabet as it will help.

A brilliant book for beginners

I have enjoyed the author's approach to initiate learning the Russian Language. Enjoy working with the title and recommend it for anyone wishing to start out learning this very interesting language. While not an easy language to learn right away, the author makes it apparent that working with the material in the album is followed by additional material later on when one has already will allow making progress. Definitely a good starter.

Trank you author for creating this audible. Finally, someone is showing that studying can and should be fun if you aim the goal of flowing language use. A very easy way to learn a tough language.

This book was pretty informative.

This audiobook is a good first step. The characters is broken down into groups and several useful words are used to illustrate each letter.
It's great for consuming a few minutes a time on whilst on the train.

An extremely helpful for Russian language-learners

The author takes the time to offer extensive descriptions of the sound of a composition of Russian as compared to English, which is expressly salutary for native English speakers. The script is clear enough that you could follow along in this album without a teacher or class. The myths section is particularly helpful; the author paints a pretty hopeful view of learning in Russian but also offers nicely measured, basic texts that are short enough that a beginning learner could work through them.
Overall I would recommend this for individual study in combination with other media so that you also hear/see lots of Russian spoken as you're learning!

Really good for beginners/upper beginners!!

This type of classy work doesn’t need headings, diagrams/tables, or anything, so it is simple enough to understand. So I think it is a great audiobook with accurate information.

Only Complaint Is The Narrator

The narrator does not by any means attempt to make the piece an interesting guide. Her dialogue is not vocal nor expressive in the way it reads out the piece. Find a more engaging narrator and I’ll finish listening to the book.
