Russian as Russians speak it (N.G. Krylova, N.I. Samuilova, N.A. Fedianina)
Так Говорят Русские (Н.Г. Крылова, Н.И. Самуйлова, Н.А. Федянина)

FOREWORD

Russian As Russians Speak It aims at improving the student's command of Russian dialogue techniques and is designed for students who have worked through an elementary Russian course and who wish to develop their aural compreehension and speech habits. The student is assumed to have mastered the fundamentals of Russian pronunciation and intonation, the formation and meaning of the most essential nominal and verbal forms, the basic syntactical structures, and to have a command of an elementary Russian vocabulary.

This course is based on topics and situations. It consists of 11 sections dealing with everyday topics, each topic presented in microsituations in which a foreigner may find himself in a Russian linguistic environment.

The purpose of this course is to help the student assimilate typical speech formulas generally used in such situations, master the Russian speech "etiquette" within the limits set by this course, and improve his pronunciation and intonation. Each of the 11 seetions is divided into lessons based on dialogues (there are usually 3, sometimes 2, dialogues in each lesson), dealing with one and the same situation. They generally consist of 6-8 responses and are to be regarded as standards of speech behaviour in similar situations.

Each dialogue is provided with exercises which extend its vocabulary and grammar, give variations for the responses it consists of (short and complete answers, negative and affirmmative forms of questions, responses with normal and inverted word order, etc.) and introduce additional situations.

All dialogues and models have been recorded on gramophone records (in the text they are marked with an asterisk and should be listened to and repeated by the student without reference to the text.

Each section is concluded by a topical Russian-English vocabulary and at the end of the book there is a compreehensive Russian-English vocabulary. The Russian text is accented throughout.

Russian As Russians Speak lt can be studied either with or without a teacher.

@uneedtherapy42 dative case is not hard as long as you know when it is meant to be used. Genitive plural is something that you need to carry a live Russian around and even they have a hard time with it. When Russians tell me that Russian is hard even for a Russian, I wonder who the F**** came up with a language even the natives have trouble learning. Rock on!!!

[uneedtherapy42]

@ColKorn1965 I hear you my friend... it's all fun and games until you get to the dative case and then the (gulp!!) genetive plural... that case is cruel and unusual punishment...LOL... good luck!

[Soudavolstviem]

There is Staline subbliminal messages!

[ColKorn1965]

I'm learning with a tutor and it's tough.

@CorkaWiatrow Greetings!

I am in exactly the same boat as you. I'm learning russian on my own.

It really is a beautiful language, and I aim to prove my doubters wrong. It's tough to learn a new language, though

[CorkaWiatrow]

My friends are gonna die when I've learnt this language, they're all so sceptical. They don't believe I'm gonna learn it by myself. But I AM, it is almost as beautiful as Polish, I have to know it!!!

Greetings to all who learn Russian :).

If there's someone young who'd like to write to me, don't hesitate!

@krackerasskracker If you can spot them consciously they are by definition not subliminal. If you're not writing in cyrillic it's written "URSS"
