A practical starting point for Russian

Designed for learners beginning Russian or returning to it, this course brings language basics together with everyday communication practice. The material covers speaking, reading, writing and comprehension, with attention to the Cyrillic alphabet and pronunciation. Explanations and practice activities are paired with online audio, while planners and progress tools give learners ways to organize their study. The publisher describes the course as usable for independent learning, one-to-one tutoring or classroom work, and notes that its audio is available through the Teach Yourself Library app and website. That mix of foundational language skills and study support makes the book a structured course rather than a phrase collection alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Absolute beginners in Russian
  • Learners with some prior Russian who want a refresher
  • People studying independently or alongside tutoring or classes
