Russian in Exercices

Usually, in this blog you find posts about other free and interesting language related web pages. However, this one is about a self-study book of Russian.

It's a grammar book titled Russian in Exercices. This book is an additional tool for your Russian classes or your self-study. Although, it's not a book to be used alone.

It is divided into different sections. The first one is an introduction to basic language topics (gender, noums, pronoums...).

The following section is focus in cases (accusative, nominative...), verbs and complex sentences.

At the beginning of each key point there's a short explanation of the grammar point, although, it is not comprehensive. Probably, this is a weak point of the book. On the other hand, the excercises cover all the most useful examples of each grammar point and this is why this book is so recommendable. The last pages of the book contains all the answers for every excercise.

Excerpt from the preface

Russian in Exercices is intended for beginners. It contains exercises designed to consolidate and activise basic Russian grammar and vocabulary. Russian in Exercices falls into two parts: 1. An Introductory Lexical and Grammatical Course, and 2. The Main Course.
(...)
Russian in Exercices is based on a limited number of commonest Russian words, a feature which makes it possible to use it to supplement any comprehensive Russian course.

Learn Russian with Alla's videos

Allatek's Channel has got several videos to learn Russian from scratch. In a pleasant way, Alla, an Ukranian language teacher, helps to improve Russian with her videos.

The lessons cover from the beginner (with the alphabet) to a high level (with vocabulary, idioms, useful topics -such as travel, work, family...-, etc).

Alla states in her channel "My name is Alla Shubina and I'm an online Russian Teacher and Tutor. I specialize in teaching international business clients, university and high school students, and those with romantic relationships. I'm now offering live, online one-on-one Russian Language lessons via Skype or MSN Messenger. After teaching and studying various world languages over the past ten years, I've found there is no substitute for live conversation and instruction with a native speaker. Live interaction provides immediate feedback and dramatically increases fluency."
