Ruslan Russian 1. A communicative Russian Course (English and Russian Edition)

Ruslan 1 was created by teachers in the UK and America with years of experience teaching both adults and young people. The course maximizes the enjoyment of learning a new language, while giving a thorough grammatical and structural introduction in a communicative context. The course can be used by people learning in groups with a teacher, and there are a large number of group activities and language games. But, it is also useful to people learning on their own, especially when used with the Russian 1 Workbook. The approach is practical and communicative, with up-to-date, useful language, thoroughly vetted by Russian teachers living in Russia, and by Russian Language instructors at the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the US Department of Commerce (DOC). The beginners course consists of a workbook and a textbook, each with an audio supplement on CD. Ten lessons in a textbook cover ten topics: Airport, the Street, the Family, About Oneself, Time, the House, etc. The workbook contains 203 exercises that reinforce the knowledge and skills obtained through the textbook. Audio supplements contain dialogs to practice audio comprehension. This edition has been fully revised in 2009 to meet the needs of American students, and provide them with contemporary course, compliant with the academic standards. Includes AUDIO CD
