Description

The books in this language series have a unique premise—introduce a new language in very small bits through self-teaching. As the Russian alphabet looks different, you will begin with learning the letters and move gradually forward from there.

To guide you towards correct pronunciation, you can access free audio files at the publisher’s website. You will use the book and audio files simultaneously to optimize the short lessons. An answer key is in the back of the book.

Ideally, daily lessons will take 30 minutes or less. As with the other languages in this series (Spanish, French, Latin, Ancient Greek, & German), this course does not provide enough content for a full high school foreign language credit. It does make for a nice exploratory language option! 270pp. ~Sara

Publisher's Description of Getting Started with Russian

Getting Started with Russian: Beginning Russian for Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age
is a book that teaches beginning Russian gradually yet systematically. This unique method was designed specifically to help homeschooled and self-taught students overcome the obstacles they face when studying Russian at home. In each lesson, after learning something new, you can immediately apply what you've learned by translating the fun practice sentences. Listen to the free audio recordings that accompany the book and listen to a native speaker pronounce all the exercises. As you practice speaking and understanding spoken Russian, refer to the answer key in the back if you get stuck. For additional help and instruction, the authors have provided extensive audio commentary recordings that teach through every lesson and exercise in the book. Everything you need is here in one book, so what's stopping you from Getting Started with Russian?

Category Description for Getting Started with Foreign Language Series

These Getting Started With foreign language courses were written with the homeschooled student in mind. They are an efficient way to introduce your students to a foreign language. You will cover basics of how to learn a language such as pronunciation, gender, formal vs. informal language, some pronouns, beginner vocabulary, expressions which have a cultural element, and other useful basics. Courses offered include Spanish, French, German, Russian, Latin, and Ancient Greek.

While there is not enough content here for a full high school credit, after completing this book, your student would be well-prepared for a high school level foreign language program. Tests can be done by backing up to the previous lesson and having your student translate the exercises there. A parent can use the answer key to grade these, or have the student correct their own work. These are a good option for upper elementary or middle-grade students (and their parents) to see if they are really interested in the further study of a language. Helpful glossaries are included.
