14 units of increasing difficulty to take a learner from beginner to intermediate level. Grammar is slowly introduced so it does not distract from the more interesting task of learning words and phrases.

A very short course to start beginner's off. It's an easy to follow course with exercises and games to entertain learners (eg crosswords, wordsearch) etc. It also has sticky word labels that can be peeled off and stuck on to objects around the home and also a handy foldaway vocab list to take when travelling.

Thirty lessons each with revision exercises to allow the learner to check their progress is provided. The "classic" Russian course book, quite dated, but good for those learners who like an old fashioned tradtional method of learning.
