Russian for Beginners

Audio-book includes audio access and learning software via link. This audio-book is your clear, confidence-building entry into Russian—designed specifically for English-speaking learners. You’ll start with the Cyrillic alphabet and sound system, then progress step by step through useful words, sentences, and short dialogues for everyday life, travel, and family. Each unit follows a simple, repeatable pattern: a brief explanation in English, a compact vocabulary list, a sample dialogue, pronunciation tips, mini-exercises, and a short recap to lock in what you’ve learned. Russian grammar is explained in plain language—covering word order, personal pronouns, question forms, essential verb patterns (present and past), and a practical first look at the cases—without unnecessary jargon and with helpful memory cues. Culture notes show how to use Russian politely and authentically in real situations across Russia and other Russian-speaking communities. Ideal for self-learners aiming at A1–A2: clear goals, study-time tips, checklists, and quick quizzes at the end of each chapter keep you motivated. Visual highlights draw attention to Russian terms so you recognize and recall them faster. Whether you’re preparing a trip, connecting with Russian-speaking friends and colleagues, or simply exploring a new language, this book guides you to early conversation wins—structured, motivating, and hands-on. SynapseLingo stands for a learner-smart design: small steps, frequent review, spaced repetition, and immediately usable language. Includes linked audio for pronunciation and listening practice plus a companion web app with flashcards and progress tracking.
