The English course written specifically for Russian speakers — from beginner to confident intermediate. Most English textbooks are written for everyone in general and no one in particular. This one is different. Every lesson, every example, and every pronunciation guide is designed around what Russian speakers actually struggle with — the th sound, the difference between v and w, the missing verb "to be," and the article system that doesn't exist in Russian. WHAT'S INSIDE - 30 progressive lessons in 4 parts — from the alphabet to fluent conversation - Every word, phrase, and explanation in both English and Russian - Cyrillic pronunciation guides for every English word - "Common Mistake" boxes addressing real Russian-speaker errors - Practice exercises with answer keys printed below every lesson - 4 part-end reviews to consolidate what you've learned - 3 reference appendices: 58 irregular verbs, a complete answer key, and a quick-reference guide to common mistakes THE FOUR PARTS Part I — Foundations: alphabet, sounds, greetings, numbers, pronouns Part II — Core Grammar: verbs, articles, plurals, tenses, questions Part III — Vocabulary by Theme: family, food, work, travel, health Part IV — Intermediate: past, future, perfect, modals, conditionals, idioms, conversation WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR - Complete beginners starting from zero - Self-learners studying without a teacher - Travelers, workers, and students preparing for English-speaking environments - Anyone who has tried other books and felt they weren't speaking your language WHY IT WORKS Russian and English are fundamentally different languages. Russian has no articles. English has no cases. Russian skips "to be" in the present tense; English requires it. Generic textbooks ignore these differences. This book is built around them. Every lesson follows a clear four-step pattern — explanation, examples, practice, answers — so you always know exactly where you are and what to do next.
