The first volume of a Russian language course designed for English-speaking learners. The lessons introduce the Cyrillic writing system, Russian pronunciation, basic vocabulary and grammatical structures. Students gradually learn to understand and construct Russian sentences through reading passages, dialogues, explanations and language exercises. Particular attention is given to noun forms, grammatical gender, verb conjugation and the use of Russian cases. The course provides a structured foundation for further study of the language.
