Description
Are you just starting to learn Russian? Or maybe you have been studying Russian for a while already but your knowledge lacks structure? Do you find that most learning resources are missing something?
Apps, phrasebooks, and courses dedicated to studying 1 topic - are all great but they rarely explain the WHY. They mostly teach you basic Russian vocabulary which leaves you exactly where you were - at the beginner level. Grammar books, on the other hand, are lengthy and full of repetitions. It's time to learn Russian like a PRO!
Russian Grammar Made Easy is a unique course in the sense of content: it offers a simplified explanation of essential Russian grammar rules and gives plenty of supporting examples of words and phrases with translation into English. This way, you learn new words alongside grammar rules and see how easily you can create whole phrases by yourself in Russian, as well as understand the phrases in a text or speech, just because you know what each word "does" in a phrase.
Understanding how the Russian language is structured will help you go from basic to complex conversations, allow you to read and translate more advanced texts, and unlock the words that were not covered in books or courses focusing on conversational Russian.
Made by a professional teacher, the course allows you to progress at your own pace gradually building on your previous knowledge. The examples change from easy (basic words) to medium (combination of words) to advanced (sentences).
Within each section, you are encouraged to do a small exercise that will let you practice what you've just learned and reinforce your vocabulary.
By the end of the course, you will be able to produce a short text by yourself applying the knowledge you gained about Russian nouns, adjectives, verbs, and pronouns.
This course is exactly what you need to start off your Russian language journey, as it gives you the foundation you can build upon.
