Russian-English, Special Training for Beginners

Based on the Speech Plasma Method, this book for beginners has proved to be ideal for students of Russian who would like to start to speak the language fluently at a very early stage. The volume consists of five sections dealing with basic Russian grammar structures that correspond to be, can, have, there is and other basic Present Simple patterns in English. Each section contains 250 sample sentences on fifty topics. The book is aimed at the development of the learner's fluency in speech through fluency practice drills. The drills are similar to physical exercises that can be practised regularly, repeated over and over again, concentrating either on their intensity and force or on rapidness and speed. Fluency training on the above mentioned grammar structures make the students of Russian start speaking the language fluently at a very early stage. The better you know the drills, the easier it will be for you to remember and use the sample sentences on 50 Topics. Fluency practice drills will be like "oral cribs" to help you make up a new sentence based on the same grammar pattern. The sentences are very simple and for easy reference the English text is printed alongside.
