Reviews
About the “Russian Language (as a Foreign Language)” course by the author. You only need a computer or tablet for the classes.
The “Russian Language (as a Foreign Language)” course is an interactive educational complex developed using proprietary methods. The courses are based on basic Russian language programs, adapted for bilingual/multilingual children beginning Russian, and children experiencing difficulties learning Russian.
All course exercises — from speed reading to visual associations, from counting rhymes to reading dialogues and texts, from typing to independent writing — aim to give the child support, confidence, and interest in learning Russian.
This course is not only about Russian. It is about first steps to communication, trust between child and teacher, and how a simple word grows into understanding, participation in dialogue, and the ability to speak, read, write, and think in Russian. (V. Melnikova)
The course is designed to develop in a child:
reading skills

Top FAQs
The block-based lesson structure in the "Russian as a Foreign Language" course allows for creating an individual program for the child. For a quality result, we recommend completing the full course. Each lesson is a comprehensive system "grammar + reading" that not only teaches grammar rules but also improves reading speed, question-answering skills, retelling ability, and conversational skills on social topics.
Reading speed develops differently for each child. It depends on their initial skills and the regularity/frequency of daily reading at home. Usually, noticeable improvements in speed and confidence appear after 6-8 sessions of systematic work. The “Speed Reading” module is included in the “Russian Language 1” and “Russian Language 2” courses for this purpose.
