Russian Language Course for Beginners
The updated version of the online course ‘Time to Speak Russian!’ consists of a course on phonetics (“Букварь”), an A1 course ‘Suitcase’ (“Чемодан”), an A2 course ‘Moscow Holiday’ (“Московские каникулы”), and a grammar guide. The courses of level A1 and A2 are linked by one storyline, which is told through plasticine characters in a series of stop motion videos. The storyline is built around authentic, real world situations and communications. The online course ‘Time to Speak Russian’ can be used in group settings or individual lessons with learners of all ages. The knowledge-testing questions and quizzes make this course equally suitable for solo learning or with a teacher, and subtitles in 16 different languages make the course accessible to many. The course consists of lessons whose order is deeply thought through. Going in lesson order allows a learner to build up their Russian vocabulary while gradually increasing their knowledge of grammatical concepts.
Study materials are available online and also in PDF. PDFs can be downloaded as a basic (free) and as an advanced (paid) versions.
